Tryad Cover Reveal #romance #ya #metaphysics #humor #fantasy

I am very excited to reveal the cover for Tryad, my YA metaphysical romance novel coming December 30th.

Tryad
Book One, The Tryad Series
Cover by Wicked by Design

Kaylee thought learning energy work was fun, especially as it got her from here to there with barely a thought. 

Back from energy camp for her junior year in high school, her carefree use of energy is noted by two new teenagers in town: Heath and Vane. 

Annoyed at and attracted to them at the same time, she doesn't expect to find out the three of them are part of a Tryad. When all three energies combine, nothing can stop them from doing anything they want.

The more the three of them interact, the more intense their energy.

When a man intent on controlling them attacks, they flee to train together. 

Until he kidnaps Kaylee’s parents… 

With no time to prepare, Heath, Vane, and Kaylee must face this man and try to rescue her parents before it’s too late. 

And here's the full jacket cover. I'm SO in love with this!

Not quite what I was going for #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. This takes off directly from my last 8Sunday post.

~ ~ ~

Wait. Where was I?

Oh, right. Princess blanket. Ugh.

Bringing to mind a purple satin blanket with a golden dragon, I focused my mind – well, I tried – and five minutes later when I opened my eyes, I groaned as I spotted a pink and purple blanket with a princess being ripped apart by a dragon. Not quite what I was going for. But then, transporting myself here to there was much easier than actually doing something to an object.

Just ask my camp counselor #8sunday #YA #metaphysics #romance

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my Young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. This takes off directly from last week's post.

Unfortunately, she must have decided while I was away at camp to turn my room into a princess paradise. Glaring at the offensive pink and white blanket, I took a moment to calm myself while closing my eyes. One thing I learned at camp was not to try and change things while angry. The consequences could be disastrous. Just ask my camp counselor. Err, never mind. Don't ask her. You wouldn't believe it anyway.

Another snippet from Tryad for #8sunday #YA #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello, Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm excited to be back with you today with another snippet from Tryad. This picks up from where my previous 8 left off.

* * *

Amused, I barely kept the smirk off my face as I turned and walked back into the house. Once I was pretty sure I was out of sight, I imagined myself in my bedroom and was there. So much easier than walking up three flights of stairs. Mom seemed to think I could levitate, which was kind of funny, when in fact, I could actually transport myself from one place to another using nothing more than the energy that surrounded me. Humming to myself, I went to lay down when I saw what blanket was on my bed. The growl that ripped through my throat might not be scary, but it was real enough to me. Mom had been lamenting that her little girl was growing up. At the age of sixteen, I would certainly hope so.

Contract with Limitless Publishing

I am very excited to announce that I have signed a contract with Limitless Publishing for at least three books in my young adult Tryad series. I just signed a week ago, so I won't have a release date for book 1 for probably some time. But when I do, I'll let you know. I am very excited for this story and I think it fits well with Limitless Publishing.

A little snippet for #8sunday #metaphysics #romance @ya

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

This is from the very beginning of a young adult metaphysical romance titled Tryad

~~~~~

"Kaylee Marin Stephens! Get down from there!" my mother hissed, standing in that pose mothers the world over had perfected. Feet spread more than shoulder-width apart, partially bent forward, with her hands on her abundant hips, Mom looked more like a general berating her troops than a mother trying to get her daughter down from the roof. 

With a loud sigh, I closed my eyes and imagined myself standing in front of her. The moment my toes sunk into the grass, she hissed again. "Go to your room. When your father comes home, I'm going to send him up to deal with you. Just because they taught you that you could do anything does not mean you should levitate anywhere you please."
