Isn't that a beautiful cover?
Caught in the Flames is launching on March 4th, 2025!
I can't believe it's been over a year since my fellow author, Vanessa Thurgood, and I workshopped an idea to do a project together. But we didn't just want to showcase our work, we also wanted to support a worthy cause. As a result, all profits from book sales will go to support the World Wildlife Fund. Fast forward to 2025 and we are about ready to publish this book together with five other amazing authors.
Caught in the Flames contains seven short sci-fi fantasy stories. Every story is unique to the authors style and their imaginative worlds, but all of them showcase elemental fire powers in some way.
