News!

I wish I had more to tell. Life has been hitting me at full speed since finishing the final book of the Roanfire Saga. I’m still writing, but at a much slower pace as I am trying to catch up on all the things I neglected while finishing the project. My kids, the house, the garden, my health and fitness. It’s been a bit messy trying to figure out where to begin. I appreciate your patinece as I try to figure out my new role.

Some new projects to look forward to:

(Title Undecided) – A story about Teilo, Ikane’s younger brother, the High Prince of the Leviathan Pirates, and a Selkie.

FREERUNNER – A Scifi book I have been wanting to write for years. Parkour, gene manipulation, and plants.

THE KEY – A children’s book about a boy who learns the true meaning of happiness. Let’s just say a magic door, keys, and a wizard are included. Working in conjunction with the talented Rachel Byers for the illustrations.

(Title Undecided) – A middle grade series about an autistic boy with a skin condition who is trying to save the dragon race.

“Ikane?” I pressed my hands over his bandaged ones, wishing I could take the fire away. This was my fault. He suffered because of me.

In the second book of the Roanfire Saga by C.K. Miller, heroine Keatep Brendagger struggles with undeserved fame and praise as she tries to save her beloved Ikane from an ancient evil festering inside him before he’s consumed forever.

Becoming the hero of Roanfire has brought young Keatep Brendagger as many problems as it has solved. Her newfound fame has made her a prize for many, including a neighboring kingdom that could save her war-torn country.

The problem is, she didn’t do it.

The power that saved her people belonged to an ancient evil that has taken hold of the man she never thought she’d fall for: Ikane Ormand, a Leviathan Pirate Prince.

When the darkness inside of him drives him to a mad attempt on her life, she knows she’s running out of time before he’s consumed forever.

Defying orders and risking everything to reclaim Ikane’s freedom, her quest leads her to answers best left hidden, and a darkness about herself that could destroy everything she’s fought for.
