Wystan, a gifted blacksmith, does the unimaginable: he breaks a sliver off Excalibur while sharpening it. Bound by honor and guilt-and fearful of the sword's magic-he vows to return the piece but Arthur dies in battle. The sliver's magic catapults Wystan into present day England on the verge of civil war whether to dissolve the monarchy. To fulfill his blood vow, he must reunite the sliver with Excalibur or its rightful heir while fending off those who would claim it: the mysterious witch Ana and a secret Knights society. Jenna, an unlikely young woman he's drawn to by magic, might be Arthur's last heir and rightful owner of sword and throne. It's a race to find Excalibur before Parliament ends the monarchy, a powerful witch finds the sword first, or it loses its magic.

While I wait for my Caribbean beach house, I write sci fi, fantasy, horror, paranormal, contemporary, and romance novels. I co-authored the YA adventure novel Blonde OPS (Thomas Dunne/St Martin's), and fantasy novels Sirenz and Sirenz Back in Fashion (Flux). My indie project is a middle grade STEM fantasy trilogy, Evolution Revolution: Simple Machines, Simple Plans, and Simple Lessons. Other credits include several short stories that have appeared in various anthologies, newspaper and magazine articles, and writing presentations and workshops for NJSCBWI, schools, libraries, and book events. Fresh out of my MFA, I am working on several spec fic and romance novels.
