Signed the contract with Willow Moon Publishing for Beyond Tomorrow, sequel to Riley's Journey and Into the Savage Dawn. Here's a little snippet to get your interest going:
Excerpt:
What
am I going to do? She wanted to scream and rage against her presupposed
fate. The savage Cros were animals, brutal and sadistic even amongst themselves
and outsiders were little more than fodder for the beasts.
She whimpered. She had only herself
to blame. She’d been warned about venturing from the compound alone and now she
was paying the price for her carelessness. She could only guess what might have
happened to Geena—or to any of them for
that matter. For all she knew, they all could be dead or captives like her.
The babies… She couldn’t bear thinking about what would happen to the little

cackled. Moisture washed her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. The bastard
enjoyed inflicting pain.
Terror eased, giving way to fury.
She dropped her glance, fearful he would see. I hope you die! Badly!
This is how I envision Hawk, my hero in this story:
