You may just have these two expressions with the news about to give.

First of all, I can’t thank all of our wonderful readers for being on this amazing journey with me. It’s been unforgettable and I feel as though we are all one big family (along with our fictional family) ❤
After weeks of consideration while we work on Book 4, I’ve decided that in order to deliver the best book possible, I will be pulling what I had from Book 5 into book 4 to complete The Ancient Guardians Series. I honestly feel this will deliver a better book and the best way to end the series.
Now, not to worry too much. The way the series will end will NOT leave anyone hanging or guessing. (Here comes the second expression from RDJ)
I am actually being pulled in a new direction with the Guardians and that is: to write short stories following Levi and Harrison when they first began guarding Earth and their encounters while doing so. (Think of it as a TV series.)
Right now this is where The Ancient Guardians novel series is at. However if Book 4 is turning out to be 300,000 words because we brought Book 5 into it, we’ll be forced to separate the two. I honestly don’t see this happening. So, I hope this is agreeable with all of our readers and I would honestly love your feedback. I’ll keep everyone posted if we change things up and we decide to keep Book 5 as our final book!
My love to you all!!! ❤❤

“We are warriors,” Harrison replied boldly, “We have the mindset to battle evil when there is none other willing to do so.” He stood up and grinned, “My patience is no longer existent, let us finish this!” ****Book 3, 2015****

EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE….The Ancient Guardians series comes alive in the third book!!! Unexpected enemies, the twist you never saw coming….Your adventure is coming soon!

A HUGE thank you to all who have stood behind the scenes and watched as I took on the adventure of writing a novel. Thank you to my test readers, editors and those who sacrificed time with me in order to brave the Wonderful World of Readers in order to publish the first novel in the Ancient Guardians Novel Series.
This journey has definitely been an unforgettable one as I witness the second Book in the series continue to captivate readers! As I press on through editing in book 3, I sit humbled by where this book series is taking me. I have developed a reading fan base that enjoy the characters and their story as much as I do! WOW!
Right now, I am invited to stand alongside of Best Selling authors in Miami and receive The Legacy of the Key’s Silver Medal! I am beyond speechless!
THIS was a dream and adventure I ALMOST gave up on, after receiving the first Draft back from a professional editor! I’m so thankful I didn’t give up! Funny as it may seem, I listened to the characters that wanted their story so desperately told and I pressed on for them….for my readers!!!!
So, no matter how high the mountain, forget what your mind tells you when it encourages you to give up! Most of all, ignore everyone who tells you…“it can’t be done! You can’t do this!” (While laughing at you and your dream you decided to share with them) I chose not to listen and here we are…..

Look! I have a MAJOR award now 🙂

Congrats to Ancient Guardians: The Legacy of the Key for it’s nominations in two categories for Readers Favorite!

After a long, grueling move from Houston, TX to California and a anniversary spent in Yosemite National park, I was amazed to see that Book 1 in the Ancient Guardians series had been nominated for two awards with Reader’s Favorite!

Reading that this was a pretty tough process and there were many books that were great that unfortunately weren’t selected, I was more than amazed to find that Ancient Guardians made it! I, at first, want to give credit to the other books and authors who have worked hard and have great books that unfortunately didn’t make it this far, believe me, I never expected The Legacy to accomplish this either.
Secondly, I am sincerely grateful for this nomination and still struggle to admit this happened…but, it was not competitions or recognition that gave me the courage that writer’s require to publish a book or book series, it was for my reading audience that would enjoy the unique escape the series offers them. To receive reviews, hear from readers that needed the escape into this enchanting dimension that brought them back into a different time period where Chivalry existed, is the reason I shared this book series! I was burdened to share this story, the characters and this captivating with everyone. Why? Because, I, as a reader, needed and enjoyed the escape as well! It’s why I write, it’s why I spend money for a professional editor and it’s why I have the courage to publish! If this book amazingly wins in it’s categories, I will say right now, it’s for my readers! I did it for them! They are why I write and share my crazy and vivid imagination with the world!
So with that said, let’s see how the Legacy of the Key does…and if this book can win!!!!

How I feel as an author? I think this picture below describes it best.

Never give up, never quit! You never know where your path is leading you!

I would have never thought this could relate to my book series….

Alright, time to reveal one of my favorite places to visit, Disneyland. Without boring everyone with all of my adventures visiting the theme park, I will just say that after you pass all the chaos and crowds to get into the gates; you walk under the archway and officially enter the park!
I always experience a shiver of excitement as I glance up at this particular sign posted as you enter this un-realistic land that Walt Disney created for all of us to escape the real world in.
For me personally; every thought, worry and stress melts away as we enter the enchanting theme park! (While my husband has already started calculating how much money we’ve already spent 😉 and will do so until we exit the park.)
Anyway, it’s interesting that I should come across this particular quote today. It made me think, not only about how in some strange way it relates to the fantasy of my novel series; Ancient Guardians…but, also, all the other fantasy and fairytail novels out there!
Fantasy is meant to be unrealistic, to help you escape, when and if you need an escape from the harsh reality in real life! To also help experience things that sometimes our imaginations aren’t capable of creating on our own! And most of all, to play in new worlds and enjoy the thrilling adventure while you’re apart of it while reading.
It’s how I see fantasy novels anyway, but then again…that’s just me. We are all different and see things differently! I like to dance in the rain, while my husband hides under the porch to stay dry and just laughs at me!
Just a random post I thought I’d share! Have an adventurous day! 🌞
