Have you ever stopped to blink and look around and then when you turn back, over a year has passed? I swear I feel like I'm a character in one of my own books.

Last April, I posted a new book release. Survival, book one in the Sorrowfeld Academy series. If you only paid attention to my web site, you'd think I haven't been doing anything in the meantime. That, frankly, isn't the case. The only thing I haven't been doing is actually UPDATING MY WEB SITE.

And I feel horrible for that. I really do.

I have created a list of all of the books that I have released and...simply never mentioned on this site. I have no excuse for why that was other than allowing life to take things over and distract me from things that should have been happening.  The releases are noted below. If you have read them, thank you for taking the time to read my stories and enter my worlds. If you haven't? Maybe give one or two a shot and let me know your thoughts?

Bob

This book is a little special, in that I wrote it under a different name - and with my son. It's my first attempt at a YA book. I am attempting to keep the marketing separate from my other books since this one does not contain nudity or cursing and things like that. This was my attempt at a story that most of my kids could read without crossing the line. My son, Tino, came up with the basics of the story (the beginning) and then I ran with it with input from him from time to time.  It is marketed under Robert Dattolo (instead of Bob) and has Tino Dattolo as a co-author.

Introducing Born in the Shadows, the first book in the Shadowmen Chronicles. It is my first book available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover.

I was raised to be an assassin. The only girl assassin in a worldwide organization of men. An organization feared and hated worldwide, yet powerful enough that no one has been able to stop them.
The Shadowmen guide the world more than people know, with Shadowmaster running all of them and increasing his strength and power and reach.
One day he decided he wanted something different in an organization of men. He wanted a girl shadowmen. Someone he could mold from an infant into being the world’s best assassin.
Somehow, he found me.
At the age of ten, on the cusp of earning my badge of honor as a shadowmen, I escaped. Risking very nearly certain death to be free. For once.
Unexpectedly, I survived.
My name is Ty, and I’m not what I seem to the outside world.
The world sees a shorter than average 19-year-old girl with scars on her face. A turned shifter so broken that she can’t shift.
Everything I learned until I escaped has to be hidden or I risk every government or police agency hunting for me. Or, worse yet, Shadowmaster finding out that I’m not dead and coming for me.
Which is why when I’m sent off to Thornhollow Academy at 19, I have to try to hide in plain sight. Keep my abilities under wraps and away from the prying eyes of my fellow students.
Can I do that? When a group of powerful alpha shifters decide that I make the perfect submissive to them since I can’t shift, it becomes harder and harder to remain hidden. Except coming out of hiding means everyone I know and love will be killed.
And yet the alpha foxes, gorilla, and wolves won’t quit. They push and they push and they push until even I reach my breaking point.
When the lives of your loved ones are on the line, what would you do to save them?

Survival, book one in the Sorrowfeld Academy series is now available on Amazon!  This is an academy series following Maddie through her time in Sorrowfeld Academy. A school for the strong. Those willing to fight for what they want - power.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09325PD99

I live in a world where magic exists. Dragon shifters exist. The normal humans know about us. We’re part of the same world, with powerful mages and dragons being treated like A-list celebrities and money flows like water to those of us with power.
I also live in a world where mages and dragon shifters send their kids to the North American Magics Academy. Or, as every student and family calls it; Sorrowfeld Academy.

Where plotting and treachery and murder are a way of life and each of the three years ends in a trial. Part maze. Part test of your magic skill. Part riddle.

All violent.

You have to watch everything in the trial, including your fellow students.

Our world runs on power, and you can drain magic from others to add to your own. We’re walking batteries to those that are more vicious. More aggressive. More cunning.

This is my world now. Can I survive? I’m a modern magical miracle, being a stricken that has magic again. I’m the boogieman to the magical community. That puts a target on my back for every student to hit. I’m not like them. I’m other. I’m stricken.

And I will never fit in. They won’t let me.

Latest Release

Good morning, everyone!  We have a new release!  Penny for your Thoughts, book 5 in the Learning My Place series is now available from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091B52FT8

This book follows Penny's insight into what it's like to be  a vampire in her world. Alyssa's by her side, but this is told from her perspective, so I am hoping people enjoy a slightly different take on things.

 

Falling in love with your crush, even if it’s another girl, should be a wonderful thing. It should open things up and allow you to reach those dreams and fantasies that have kept you up night after night for years. Even if the girl you’re crushing on is a vampire.

Except we got kidnapped. And tortured. And now I’m also a vampire.

My name is Penny, and I’m not the girl I used to be. I used to be human. I used to spend my time hiding from everyone. Now I’m a vampire and mated to Alissa, my super powerful mate. Now people hide from me.

Waking as a vampire was a surreal experience for me. I headed into death not expecting to be turned, yet I’m alive again and with the girl I love. Except now it’s time for me to begin to learn what it means to be a vampire.

All of those painful things I’ve seen Alissa go through? All of the things I’ve started to experience lately? Now I get to experience them on my own. It’s time for me to learn my place in our world. To earn my strength.

With Mistress Iva to train me and Alissa at my side, I can do this.

Except the world isn’t so open and shut. Sometimes it has different plans for you. For where things will go. And when the world turns and begins to grind my plans to dust, how do I fight back?

How do I not? I’m fighting for me. For Alissa. The girl I love. The new life I never knew I wanted. I’m not sure how to win, but I know I’ll go down swinging.

Warning: This story contains graphic violence and sex/sexual themes, so please be aware of that. Also, if a strong, motivated young lesbian as the main character isn't your thing, then this story may not be for you.

 

 

New Releases!

Well hello again!  We have a new release, just out today on Amazon.  Dual Lessons is book four in the Learning My Place series. The book can be found here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T26LTML

 

Who knew that saying something to a vampire when I was seven would result in my entire life being turned around ten years later? I thought the worst happened to me when he found me and made me pay the price for what I said. It was only luck that I woke as a vampire. Now I’m with my grandmother, Iva. Mistress Iva. She’s teaching me how to be a vampire in this world. I just wish the lessons weren’t so painful.

My name is Alissa, and I’m a bit of a freak. Turned into a vampire by accident, I came back with more power than I should have. Both as a vampire and magically. Now I’m pretty much a demon, although I still think of myself as a vampire. I’m learning how to be this new version of me while also trying to fit in and make a life for myself.

Business is growing and expanding. Life generally seems to be heading in the right direction. And…I’m falling in love. Something I never would have imagined happening before.

Penny is everything I want in a mate. I just never knew I’d find that in another girl.

Now that she’s with me, Mistress Iva has to step up training for both of us. My human girlfriend is being pulled into vampire training, and that fills me with dread at the same time I understand why it’s happening.

Too bad unfinished business is on the horizon, waiting to crush us. Can I survive? Can my girlfriend survive? It’s all on the line as my failure to finish a task comes home and teaches me that I simply don’t understand the word agony.

Yet.

LATEST NEWS AND NEW RELEASES

New Releases

We have new releases! After months of spinning my wheels, we have three new releases available this week.

Learning My Place is book one in a new series called Learning My Place. Convenient, right?  Book two will be available in the next week once the cover work is done. The book follows Alissa, a spoiled rich girl in the most popular clique in high school. She had it all - then she lost it when a vampire attacked her just before spring break. Only for her to rise as a vampire. Now her life is nothing like what she expected, and she either learns what it takes to be this new version of her. Or she dies. And having done that once already, that means she has to put everything into staying alive.

The next two aren't quite available, but they're the 2nd and 3rd books in the Still Waters series. More to come on those once the link is available.

Except there are larger problems at hand. The prophecies are coming to fruition, which means Ceri and her family will soon learn the reason why the city of the dead exists. Billions of undead, enough to destroy the worlds, yet that might not be enough to stop the coming invasion.


Can Ceri and her family weather the threats of exposure? Can they fight off the invasion? It will take every bit of power that the goddess of death and birth has at her fingertips and that of her family to stand a chance.

Book five, Birth and Rebirth, in the Barriers series is now available!

Ceri’s life has changed dramatically over the past few months. She went from being human to being a mage to being a goddess. She’s at the height of her power and surrounded by her new family, yet she’s hunted.

An unknown enemy that killed her new mother is out for her and begins to make their play at the same time she gains another. This time a god.

When life throws enemy after enemy after you, what is the new goddess of death supposed to do? When you’re Ceri, it means holding your family and friends tight as you fight for your life and the lives of those you hold dear.

Will her enemies prove to be too much for her? Or will she prove that even the domain of death has room for birth in it?

Book four, Coming Home, in the Barriers series is now available!

 

Three goddesses, a master vampire, an uber wolf shifter, and a gorilla mage living under the same roof. That’s not the recipe for a happy and successful household. Unless you’re Ceri, goddess of death.

Ceri’s life has broadened as she is settling into her new family in her new house and her new school. Her challenge with her four classmates approaches quickly, and winning may change her life more than she would have expected.

Will Ceri’s new life stay on the path she envisioned for herself? Or will the trail twist and turn and lead her towards another new beginning? As her powers grow and she learns more about herself, she also learns more about those people that have settled in around her. Will this new house become a home? Or will everything collapse as things in the between lands and in school go astray and threaten to strip everything from her?

Book three, Forging Family, in the Barriers Series is now available!

Ceri’s life as the goddess of death changes abruptly as she begins attending the local school. Cut off from the friends she made at Lledreth Academy, she begins to try to fit into the normal world.

New friendships form and old ones rekindle as she struggles to recover from nearly dying from resurrecting her mother, and those new friendships push her into a challenge that sends her into death’s embrace once more.

A trip to the between lands to visit her gift from the king of the fey for a possible cure opens her eyes to the reality that there may be far more than her own troubles to worry about.

But family comes first. Rachel takes her place at her side as Ceri pushes herself to be the kind of sister, daughter, goddess she can be proud of. Will she succeed? Will the city of the dead rise? One scared and confused 17-year-old holds the answers to both questions, but she’s busy forging a new family from the world around her. After all, charity begins at home. Even for the goddess of death. 

Book two, New Beginnings, in the Barriers Series is now available!

Ceri struggles with her new position as the goddess of death. Being raised to believe that supernaturals are evil and will taint your soul and send them to hell doesn’t help. Her time at Lledreth Academy gets more difficult as her friends learn of her expanded power. While she’s finding it difficult to work through the changes in herself, her friends find it even harder.

Her connection with her friends frays nearly to the breaking point, leaving her lost and alone at the exact time she needs them most. Rasphael, her new mother, is there to help guide her, but sometimes even the best relationships aren’t destined to last forever.

When Ceri is confronted by a powerful group backed by someone with even more power, what will she do to survive? What will she put on the line to save her mother? Sometimes, the only way to live is to risk death. And can the new goddess of death do anything less?

The first book in the Barriers series - Breaking Barriers - Available Now - You can find it on Amazon.

Ceri was raised believing that the supernaturals of the world would taint her soul and take her to hell. She believed that until the day she learned her own parents planned to murder her on her 17th birthday. The same way they murdered her eight older brothers and sisters.

Running from her parents, she stumbles into the truth; she’s not human. She’s a supernatural. The very thing she was brought up to believe was the heart of evil.

Forced to face this new version of herself she was taught to hate, she joins a school full of shifters, mages, and a young vampire. Her 17th birthday looms closer; her power growing by the minute. Questions arise and she finds herself facing an ancient fey who has known about her arrival for centuries. With her life ever-evolving and the truth constantly shifting before her eyes, only one question remains; will she lose her soul in the process…or will she find the family she never had with this mysterious fey?
