"Every hero is someone else's villain. In this game of right and wrong, which of those titles will the world call me?" Cody doesn't care about being a hero-until he learns that denying his "destiny" could endanger the only person he loves: his little sister, Melody. Plunged into the fantastical Nyphraim world, he must overcome malfunctioning powers, ancient prophecies, and a villain hell-bent on societal destruction (or so he's told). Through it all, he can't seem to shake one rather persistent human. And Lyria? The only human amidst a world of nymphs, who'll stop at nothing to uncover the truth. As she battles lies and injustices, and Cody's obsession with his destiny grows, they must each decide-who is the real enemy? Elemestrin is the first book of the urban fantasy Elemestrin Saga. Delve into the intertwining stories of Cody Rathes and Lyria Montenegro in this tale of conflicted relationships, witty banter, and epic battles to save the world-but they can't agree on whose world is worth saving. LGBTQ+ friendly. Note from the author: Elemestrin hides secrets beyond the main story. For the best reading experience, paperback is recommended!

Grief and loss can be difficult for adults to understand, let alone children, and when we are overwhelmed by it, it can be challenging to explain it to a child. 'Resting In The Winter Garden' can lend a helping hand in that process and hopefully provide some peace of mind for the child and for you as well. The idea for this book came to me in a dream after losing my Grandmother. In the dream I was walking through a rose garden and came to a bed under the stars, dressed in white, and resting on that bed was my Grandmother. That dream filled me with a sense of peace. Her favourite season was Winter and her ashes were scattered in the "Winter Garden" at a cemetery, so that is where the title comes from.
