Byelka: A Tribute to Our Beloved Daughter

Our beautiful daughter, Byelka, died nine years ago today.

We have not forgotten–nor will we ever forget–the joy she brought us in the eleven years and nine months she shared with us. Her spirit, and the spirit of her brother, Vyeshka, watch over us in this life. We find comfort in knowing that when our time comes to leave this world, they will be there to greet us.

Cover for New Book!

Here’s the cover for my latest novel!

The back cover reads:

Evil Triumphs. A Nation Shatters. Heroes Rise.

Explosive and politically charged, Toxic Sphere explores both our cruelty and our courage.

The Toxic Sphere saga continues in Volume 3, Enemy Apparent.

The Back-to-Basics Club’s ruthless leaders have taken control of the Cadonan military, the National Police, and most of the press.

Despite the Club’s rise to power, their Guiding Light document is still missing. Leeha Ritsagin alone knows where the mysterious text is hidden. Senator Mitch Fischer and his notorious Freedom Party allies are holding nothing back in their attempt to capture the young woman.

Reclaiming the Guiding Light isn’t the only sinister plot on the Club’s mind. They are moving forward with their plans to dominate the world. Their first goal is to defeat, once and for all, Cadona’s archenemy, Domataland. Domataree President Demnar Tarish and Bob Fullerby, a Cadonan journalist, find themselves on the same side in a brutal conflict. Both men seek the Guiding Light in the hope that the document’s contents can be used to overthrow Cadona’s vicious rulers.

About My Newest Book

The publisher is still working on my third book–Toxic Sphere, Enemy Apparent. They are setting up the interior format and doing cover design. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

My book contains several scenes where prisoners are tortured in an illegal prison. The facility is in an old military base that is built into a mountain. This picture shows what the torture rooms may look like.
