I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others.

Banished

Power engulfed me, a strong hand stroking my fur as Ahbi's mind met mine. I wish you well, Sassafras, she sent. Do come to visit someday.

When the demon boy Sassafras breaks Demonicon’s oldest law and strips the power of another, he is sentenced to death. Only his influential father’s pleading commutes Sass’s sentence to banishment. Forced into the body of a silver Persian, his power taken from him, he is dumped in the dark streets of Victorian London and left to die. Rescued by a young witch and integrated into her family, Sassafras finds purpose at last, guiding and loving the Hayle family, sharing his heart with the remarkable coven he claims as his own.

Hayle Coven Universe: Sassafras

Miriam took a long time to get pregnant again, but when she finally announced her impending child, the coven rejoiced. As I had with Sydlynn, though sad to do so without Ethpeal at my side and very cautious not to damage the baby as I still feared I had her sister, I investigated and supported the infant, another beautiful daughter. Though less powerful than my Syd, this new child had all the markings of a true Hayle witch.


A month after Syd's eighth birthday, Meira Odelia was born and all the hopes of the coven shattered. Though perfect in every way and full of magic, Meira's red-tinted skin, tiny nubs of horns and glowing amber eyes were too demon for the family to accept her as their next leader. Still with Syd as her only hope of heir, Miriam doubled her pressure on the girl.
