They were raised like sisters, the heir to the Court of the Day and her guardian.And as rebellion darkens the land of the Day—and the faeries of Court fall under a dark magic that disconnects them from the land, dooming them to a slow, agonizing death—they will question all they know to be true.Sevelle, the Light of the Day, is destined to rule one day. She possesses a rare form of magic, the ability to heal the powerful connection between faeries and the magic in the land, the connection that gives them life—if only she could figure out how to use this magic, or even find it within herself.Jae lives in the shadows, watching over Sevelle as her guardian and listening to the whispers of Court brought to her by the winds. She longs for a life outside of Court, but knows her duty to Sevelle is more important than her own desires.But when an unexpected proposition comes from none other than Lex, son of the rebel leader, Sevelle and Jae realize their lives will never be the same—and that evil may be within their own court more so than in the rebels that oppose them.Walking paths far different than they imagined separates the sisters, but then a secret is revealed that may break them apart forever.Fly Free is the first installment of the Light of Faerie series. Enter a land of magic in the midst of a power struggle, where all is not as it seems and love may be found in the most unlikely places.

Jo Bristol spent most of her eighteen years of her life trying to prove the purpose of her art... that is, when she wasn’t spending time in prison for murder. Having succumbed to the will of her violent visions—or her ‘tick,’ as she calls it—what was once a secret became her reality, and Jo did the unthinkable. What she did not expect was that her skills as a killer would eventually save her life—and a few others—amid a terrible and confusing war between FutureTech, the corporate security system of Los Angeles, and the armed cyber-terrorists, Alias-X. Now, in the safe in the haven of a military bunker, Jo struggles to find purpose beyond painting inspirational murals. Those who once benefited from the healing effects of her artwork are halted by new, more obscure influences, and the people who once heralded her positive influence have moved on to solve the mysteries of a war no one knows how to win. But when a secret messenger insists to have answers about her tick and the enigma of her brain, Jo makes the bold decision to cross the California desert back to her destroyed hometown of L.A. in search of her answers, and the last remaining member of her family who might know the source of her tick: her mom.Vice is Part Two of the Tick Series. Part Three, titled Mark, will be released in 2019.
