When a scheming uncle partners with the god of war, the freedom of a peaceful land and the lives of its leaders hang in the balance. In this dangerous game between gods and mortals, trust may prove to be the deadliest weapon.

A compelling adventure of fidelity, treachery, corruption and duty The Voyage of Heroes is the second installment in the Osteria Chronicles, a captivating series in which the myths of Ancient Greece come to life as you’ve never seen them before. Perfect for fans of Clash of the Titans, as well as historical fantasy fiction by Madeline Miller, Simon Scarrow, Mary Renault, and Glyn Iliffe.

After being tricked into believing the possession of a well-guarded treasure will prove his right to rule, Jason, Prince of Illamos Valley, leaves his realm in the hands of his uncle to embark on a perilous quest. While his uncle viciously takes control of Illamos Valley, Jason finds himself the pawn in a battle that pits god against god, titan against man, and family against one another. With time running out to save his homeland, Jason is pulled across treacherous waters, into an aggressively fortified kingdom, and into a dangerous love affair.

But even if Jason makes it out of the kingdom alive, controls a rebellious crew, and fights down doubts of his own worthiness to be king, can he survive the betrayal of the one person he never expected to turn against him?

Vividly set in a future Pacific Northwest, The Voyage of Heroes is a page-turning blend of fantasy, history, and mythology in a series that breathes new life into the myths of Ancient Greece. If you like fast-paced adventure, perilous romance, heroes battling monsters within and without, and gods behaving badly you'll love The Voyage of Heroes.

Who Am I? Here's the Quick & Dirty Version

I'm an award-winning author who turns wickedly strong tea into imaginative fiction. With a creative and curious mind, my stories run the gamut from historical fantasy to modern-day paranormal, and magical realism to humor-laced dark fantasy.

I've got two, complete historical fantasy series under my belt: The Osteria Chronicles and Domna, plus a fair number of short stories

Right now, I'm at work on a contemporary fantasy trilogy that’s filled with magic, mystery, snarky humor, and zombies because who doesn’t love zombies…especially ones with a posh British accent.

I'm also the host of The Book Owl Podcast where I explore the tales of quirky books and literary lore. It's a book nerd's paradise over there so be sure to give it a listen wherever you listen to podcasts.

When I'm not creating worlds or tormenting my characters, I conjure homemade wine and beer, plod around in the garden, and travel near and far (or dream about doing so for the time being).
