A Celtic Tapestry Release Day Giveaway
Eight authors, eight Celtic festivals...all weaved into one tapestry.
A Celtic Tapestry.
Welcome to the official release of A CELTIC TAPESTRY!Ìý
The wheel of the year turns, bringing the joy of spring, the warmth of summer, the richness of autumn, and the merriment of winter. But eight Celtic festivals link these seasons together, bringing with them romance, lust, danger, and even magic. From a city under threat from night-time creatures at Ostara, to a selkie caught by the light of the Lughnasadh moon, to a writer caught in the flames of a fiery goddess at Imbolc.
Eight authors have come together to give their own twist on these festivals, weaving each story with a blend of myth, magic, and contemporary telling…to create A Celtic Tapestry.
Crimson Beat--
In Nashville, Ostara night is filled with monsters...and only one woman can take them on.
Beltane Fires--
Deep in the Irish countryside, a witch takes over as Mother of her coven. Will a 'wink at the moon' love spell give her what she most wants?
Blade's Magic--
Midsummer celebrations are going as usual for one magical young woman, until she comes into contact with Max Blade--a man from another dimension.
Shore's Edge--
Lammas beckons in Ireland in the year 1170, bringing with it war. Will one feisty young woman have to marry the man she hates most, or will the Gods bring her another answer?
The Picnic--
The woods near Morgan's home are under threat. But will salvation come for the woods--and himself--in the form of a beautiful environmental officer?
Shadows in the Dark--
A surprising past life regression opens up a new world for one young woman...but it also throws her at the mercy of an unknown Shadow Man.
Magic in Memphis--
Memphis. The favourite place of a hard working public-relations employee, whose life is good, but without surprise...until she has a chance meeting with James Wellington on Yule night, throwing her world upside-down.
Brigid's Flame--
A writer, depressed at the turns of his career and losing his relationship with his girlfriend, looks to the Gods for inspiration at Imbolc...and finds the goddess Brigid answers his prayers.
Learn a little more about the magic within the pages...

Brigid’s Flame is my contribution to the anthology and it was inspired by my patron goddess, Brigid.
She is the goddess of poetry, smith craft and childbirth.Ìý In my story, a struggling writer invokes
Brigid on the sacred night of Imbolc to help rekindle his creativity with her
eternal flame.Ìý The chant my hero uses in
one I wrote myself and have used many times to help overcome writer's block.
“Brigid, I call you
on this sacred night.
I summon your flame.
I invoke your might.
The words will come.
My mind will soar.
My strength and
confidence will endure.
Goddess Brigid, fill
me with creativity.
As I will it, so mote
it be.�
Here is a simple spell anyone can use along with
the chant to help bring some inspiration into their lives.Ìý All you need is a candle (preferably orange
or yellow, but white can also be used), a bowl, and a few ice cubes. If
available, snow or icicles would be even better.Ìý Set the items up on your altar or some other
space where you have privacy. Place the ice cubes or snow into the bowl and
light your candle.Ìý Stare into the flame
and focus of what you are trying to accomplish. Imagine that the ice is your
creativity. Right now it’s frozen and blocked.Ìý
Now see that flame warming the ice, melting away those blocks. Continue
this visualization as you chant the spell.Ìý
Once the ice has melted it, drink the water. This is your creativity
flowing freely back into you.Ìý

Phantom, Dark Musicals Book #1
The “Phantom� was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found
enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play
that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses
“Phantom� as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the
middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker
who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.
Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her
character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and
basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely
appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured
artist.
Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on
and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are
hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca
receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is
Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real
life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca
doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as
she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is
stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be
revealed.
Demon on Sale for $1.99
ÌýMy publisher is definitely excited about the upcoming release of Hyde, the final installment in the Dark Musicals Trilogy. She's so excited, she decided to put Demon on sale too for only $1.99! Grab this deal exclusively on amazon!

*Ìý *
When Justyn and Rebecca set off for the New York School of Performing
Arts, they think their dreams are about to come true. To their dismay,
they aren’t in high school anymore, and the competition is steep.
Rebecca must compete against accomplished singers for a role in the
production of Demon Barber, including a stunning Gothic diva with her
sights set on Justyn.
It doesn't help that things keep disappearing from their apartment or
that Rebecca's father refuses to accept that Justyn is an essential part
of her life. Yet, all this seems minimal in comparison to the serial
rapist terrorizing the campus.
Consumed by fear and obsessed with revenge, Rebecca and Justyn start
living the story of Sweeney Todd—both on and off the stage.
Don't forget to join the to keep up with all the news!
