Charles Bramley has been abducted—by dragons. 

Enter a world of enchantment, where adventure awaits and heroes rise to bravely face the darkness.

Charles’ life is upended when he's wrenched through a mountain portal and cast into a world of monsters, dragons, and magical forces. With no weapon but his own courage and a sharp right hook, he battles alongside sword-wielding Alainea to save this veiled world from disaster and protect the dragons she loves from extinction.

But a dark wizard holds one of the four gems of power, and has unleashed a terrifying force of war that threatens to consume all that is good. With heroism and valour, Charles shoulders the weight of their quest as a most unlikely savior.

Under attack by this evil tide, and faced with powerful enemies and potent delusions, Charles' daring and quick-thinking valour are tested. When one of their company falls to a bronze arrow, they falter.

Nothing less than a miracle can triumph over such terrifying odds. Yet, they embark on this vivid quest that threatens to destroy the fantastical realm of Erinbourne.

Will their heroic efforts be enough? Find out in The Secret, a thrilling prequel to the Runestaff Chronicles series that will leave you breathless. If you enjoyed The Hobbit or Harry Potter, you'll love The Secret.

I specialize in crafting delightful tales of sweet, destination romance and epic fantasy. My days are also filled with educating young minds and navigating the open roads, as I carry a license to drive anything on wheels (with or without my signature stilettoes and lipstick).

I grew up and still reside on the family farm near Marshall, Saskatchewan, Canada. We raise Charolais cattle and gophers (the latter being purely coincidental and highly unappreciated). Though I love the Canadian countryside, my passions lie in exploring new destinations and writing. That’s why you’ll find enchanting locations woven through my work.

Each romance is set in an exotic location we all would love to visit. This allows my readers to journey alongside relatable characters as their ordinary lives transform into extraordinary adventures. With twists and turns along the way, there’s never a dull moment—but always a happy ending.

I also delve into the realm of fantasy. From the time I was a child (hundreds of years ago), I’ve been enamoured with magical worlds and fantastical creatures. There was nothing so wonderful as to flee my mundane life and find myself in Middle Earth or Narnia, transported into other worlds. This translated into a lifelong dream to write those same sorts of tales.

Thankfully, it came true.

My home is shared with three feline friends, because no self-respecting author can go without at least one. I take great pride in my four children who are making their own mark on the world. When not lost in the pages of a book or tapping away at another novel, you can find me shoveling endless amounts of snow, creating decadent desserts, or strumming my guitar and singing folk songs (not necessarily in that order, since shovelling does tend to work off a large caloric intake).

With each new book I write, you are invited to step into my world and embark upon a new adventure. And don’t be surprised if you spot me feverishly tapping out another novel. It’s just the magic of storytelling taking hold once again…

Happy reading!
