In a world of supernaturals, I am something else.Ascension Day changed us all. Average Joes became spell-casting savants, Plain Janes turned into glamorous vampires, and the homeless guy at the intersection of Sunset and Santa Monica is now the alpha werewolf of Los Angeles. That's not to say it was a smooth transition. Chaos reigned until supernaturals who'd spent lifetimes in the shadows stepped into the light. Rules were laid down. Ancient laws given a voice.Welcome to the New World Order.Unfortunately for me, my Ascension was... unique. I was struck by lightning and can't stop throwing sparks. For the past fourteen years, hiding has kept me safe from the government, while my uncle's magic has kept the public safe from me. Now, just when I've found some semblance of control over my power, my world turns upside down again. A terrorist organization has kidnapped my dad, thrusting me to the center of an investigation that quickly reveals my anonymity was only an illusion. Some of the most famous, dangerous supernaturals in the world surround me, and their agendas are as mystifying as my growing powers. My sworn protector is none other than Connor Thorne - arguably the oldest, most powerful vampire in existence. But even silver linings cast shadows; Connor has more secrets than I do.My name is Fiona Sullivan, and for better or worse, the world is about to find out exactly who I am.

She has a past she'd like to forget, but destiny has other plans. Raised within an ancient sect that safeguards the world against demons, I grew up blissfully ignorant of my importance to the Heavenly war machine. At nineteen, I uncovered the horrifying truth. I barely escaped with my life. A decade later, I've perfected existing beneath the White Order's radar, teaching preschool and living a quiet life. Until the day an elite demon-slayer tracks me down and invokes an oath I conveniently forgot I made, imploding my carefully cultivated reality. Now I'm on the hook to find three missing women before they're sacrificed to bring an ancient demon to our world. The list of people I trust is short. My patience for the Order's politics is shorter. And the only thing killer about our main suspect is his charisma and the way I feel when I'm around him. With time running out and innocent lives at stake, I have to decide if I'm ready to become the very thing I swore I'd never be. Heaven's ultimate weapon. Wellspring is the first installment in a new, action-packed Urban Fantasy series. While it is not considered paranormal romance, there is a love story that develops over several books.

It is so hard to be a young person today. The world is full of many challenges, and the pressures young people face today are not like any others we have seen in the past. Families are so busy or broken, and communication is almost nonexistent. Phones, games, and social media are ways this generation communicates. As attentions are drawn to the new ways of communication, it appears the true message for living has become distorted. Inside, you will find biblical guidelines to either get or keep you on track through life's challenges. The examples may seem a bit silly, but they are intended to show that a positive can, in fact, replace a negative thought. My hope is this book may become a guide and a place to put thoughts as well as a reference to refer back to throughout your life. May you dare to be different!

Fun stories written in a way that help children understand the Bible.
