If you love magical fantasy fiction, The Braided Dimensions series is for you!

I’m currently working on a new science fiction series. In the first book, Elf Stone of the Neyna, Yanda leaves everything behind, pulled across the universe by a call so powerful she hears nothing else…

Stepping to the window of her high-rise apartment, she looks across at Shrapels Hospital where she’s a surgeon—one with surprising abilities, on a high-tech planet that censures any signs of magic. By sky-tunnel, work is minutes away. Beyond the city, low greenery stretches to infinity, cut into patterns by deep water channels. Rail lines further bisect the terrain. The planet Alland has no oceans and no forests.

Yanda has no idea she has little time left on her home planet before she will be drawn across the universe … to be imprisoned with humanoid females with mind-powers.

Watch for this novel in 2022!

Book 1, Braided Dimensions, is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other outlets.

Quick plot summary:

In an epic tale of multi-dimensional mystery, fantasy, and romance, Kay Halefin begins as an erudite ancient language professor whose research is too controversial for her to remain at the university. One Halloween night, she encounters a bard of Medieval time who steps from an old oak tree and invites her into the past. Little does she know she is stepping into a vast web of intrigue woven by both powerful healers and malevolent mages. Kay is hopelessly fascinated with the discovery that mind-powers, stitchery, and runes held wyld magicks in medieval time. She’d better learn to harness the powers for herself if she wants to survive and protect her grown son and daughter from the tightening web that’s subsuming her life.

Quick plot summary:

Kay has been drawn into a vortex of intrigue in the ancient world, of magic-wielding Wanderers, mesmerizing sylphs, powerful Nordic shamans, crafty mages. And now she cannot deny that her children are involved. Her son is channeling stories of abductions by threatening pirates. Her daughter’s mysterious lover sounds uncannily like a tenth-century Welsh musician. She tries to pull away from the medieval world but finds herself increasingly enamored with her spirit-travel. Is she the only one who can rescue her friends, who can tread in ancient caverns undetected to mind-meld with marauding ancient Jutlanders? If she takes the next journey to the past, will she ever see her children again?
