Quest of the Fire Heart available on Amazon

In a modern world dominated by dragons, a human discovers an ability to take a dragon’s flame and changes everything.

When Bree is snatched by a dragon off the sidewalk while going to catch her bus, she knows she is going to die, but something goes wrong. When the dragon’s flame touches her, it goes out. She is taken to a dragon strong hold, where she discovers that she can breathe fire and the dragon can’t.

Bree is scared of the out of control fire in her chest that bursts from her when her anger is too great. The dragon, Juliet, cannot live without her flame. Bree is as eager to get rid of the fire as Juliet is to get it back. Together, they embark on a quest to be set right again.

Bree must face a world full of dragons as she travels with the dragon that tried to kill her. Juliet must navigate the world with a cold pit in her chest, the only dragon to have ever been separated so fully from her flame. The unlikely pair must learn to work together as they search for a sorcerer that might be able to return them to normal.

Escape from Hell available on Amazon.

The Pit gaped like the mouth of a giant beast poised to consume them. A dim light flickered in its heart. Rin forced herself to look away but couldn't shake the feeling that she was about to fall into it.

High Commander Rin Tallow rules with fire and steel. In the midst of a campaign to exterminate satyrs from her lands, a small band of rebels infiltrate her camp and assassinate her. The instant before the she dies time stops.
Rin wakes in the far future, taken by time travelers to pay for the atrocities she has committed. She is sentenced to a life of hard labor in the Pit of Hell. The judgement passed against her actions introduces doubt and a creeping fear that she may have been the horrible villain she is accused of being. She must escape before she is broken by the punishment of Hell and the condemnation of her past, but escape isn't easy, and in the process she learns dark secrets about Hell and its hidden true purpose.
There is more to Hell than just pain and fear. For the first time, Rin is confronted with people who aren’t interested in her family and titles. She finds friends and enemies and a woman she might fall in love with. This introspective story follows as Rin navigates a turbulent emotional sea that is just as treacherous than the guards and fires of Hell.

Sometimes, we don't get what we deserve. Sometimes that's a bad thing and good people go unrewarded, but sometimes it's a good thing and those of us who have done terrible things get a second chance.
