​A new dragon has risen. Impossible, but true.
When the marks of the Soul Bearer burn themselves into Aurisye’s flesh, none can deny what she is. Illegitimate daughter of the hero who died nearly thirty years ago after killing the last dragon. The only person who can truly kill the dragon that terrorizes them, now. But Soul Bearers have always been human, and Aurisye is...not. Part Orc, oppression is her oldest friend.
Yet, her companion is chosen wisely. Now, Rafnor, a tolerant soldier sent by the Human monarchs, must teach her all things combat. But time is limited, and her sarcastic defenses try even his patience.
Amidst political strife with the Elves and all-out war with the Orcs, they must come together to prevent the merciless destruction of all three realms…Even as the Elven royals plot to tear them apart to secure an Elven heir to the Soul Bearer blood.

​As an active nerd, I enjoy a lot of hobbies, archery, shower-singing, and gaming included. I’ve been an introvert from birth, so most of my hobbies are solitary. I specialize in sarcasm, and since I typically have a flat affect and an expressionless face, it slips past people. A lot. Yet, to me, it always feels like a drunken pirate has fallen out of my mouth, only to go cursing and bumbling about. When I write though, words come easily. So, in a world constantly trying to numb us, I want to write stories that make people feel something.

Insanity by Kira Moericke sounds like my kind read!  And it's free on KU! #oneclick

For the past five years, Em Knightly has had the same reoccurring nightmare that leaves her gasping for air. No doctors have been able to help her with these nightmares without leaving her numb or unlike herself...except for one, one that sends her to Brier Hall, an old Victorian manor that is now a place for troubled teens.

But there is something peculiar about Brier Hall, something not right. There is a terrible legend about the manor - a legend of true love, death, and magic. A legend of witches and ghosts. But Em doesn't believe in ghosts...at least not until she meets Casey, a mysterious boy who seems to know something about her that even she doesn't know. And Em plans on finding out what exactly that something is.

​Mia Thomas just turned 15. On her special day, her teacher needs to speak with her parents, her father gets arrested and a stray cat starts talking to her. So much for a Happy Birthday!
With the help from her new familiar, Gumshoe, Mia sets out to clear her family's name and save them from financial ruin.
Will her snooping cause her own death or will her coffee-drinking, wise-cracking, booze-desiring familiar come to her rescue?

​Unsure of what else to do, Mia grabbed some tuna fish and a plate and headed out to the back. She set the plate down, then moved across the alleyway to sit on the stoop of the opposite building.
“Poisonous mushrooms?” Mia talked to herself in disbelief. “I made the soup. I cut up the mushrooms and put them in the soup. Somehow this is my fault. I served them. What have I done?”
“You didn’t do anything. You didn’t pick them out, so this isn’t your fault.”
The voice rang in her head, her ears heard faint meows. She looked up and around, trying to see who was talking to her. The only thing she saw was the Siamese cat she’d been feeding the past week. She shook her head to clear it of cobwebs she was sure were there.
She watched the feline move towards the food she’d left for him. He sniffed it, but then skirted around it to go behind the dumpster. Odd, she thought at his bypassing the food.
She watched the cat move around, almost searching for something, though she couldn’t imagine what. “Meow. Meow. Mew. Meep. Eep. Meoooow.” The Siamese sat regally on top of the dumpster, staring at her.
However, she heard something more than just the sounds made from a feline creature. Wonderful. I turn fifteen and I get to go bonkers. I swear I heard him in my head and it actually made sense. I’m hallucinating, or so lit I’ve lost it.
“Darn it. I forgot you can’t understand me.” The cat seemed to grumble and jump off the dumpster, wandering down the alleyway.
Mia rubbed her forehead. “This just can’t be possible. Cats don’t speak English.”
The Siamese stopped and stared at her. “Meow, meep?”
Mia heard, “Do you understand me, kitten?”
She gasped, standing quickly and taking a step back only to trip on the stoop and fall back down on her rump. The cat moved cautiously closer to her. “Mew?” {How?}
Mia shrugged in answer to the question, but covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming at the same time. She had no clue what was going on, but if she wasn’t totally crazy, she was understanding what this cat said to her. Great. Now I’m Doctor Doolittle, she thought to herself. “Zoe’s right. I’ve gone off the deep end and am Cray-Cray with a capital C.”
The Siamese tilted his head, watching her with large, blue, unblinking eyes. “Meow, meow, mew, mew, meow, mew.” {If you really understand me, look behind the dumpster.}
“I’m insane. I’m really in looneyland. I’m talking to myself and being answered by a cat that I can understand. This is so wrong on so many levels.” Breathlessly, cautiously, Mia stood and skirted around the small cat as if he would attack, even though part of her was sure he wouldn’t. She didn’t know why she was following his instructions, she just knew she had to. Using all the strength she had, she pulled the heavy dumpster away from the brick wall to look behind it. On the ground was a partially bloodied glove. At first, she didn’t know why it mattered, but then she noticed there was something rotting and mushy on the outside. Whatever it was seemed stuck on the plastic glove, and they had handled it after they had cut themselves. Could it be the remnants of a mushroom? Mia was sure she was the only one who handled the mushrooms after they got back from the farmers’ market. Then she remembered she had Henry clean and dry them.
She went inside and called for the remaining officer who was standing in the kitchen like some sentinel. Grudgingly, he followed her after he told the rest to remain where they were. Once outside, Kevin looked around. “What’d’ya want to show me?”
“Behind the dumpster. I’m not sure if it’s anything, but to me it looks like one of our gloves with a touch of blood inside and what looks like a rotten mushroom outside. I thought it might be evidence.”
Giving her a doubting look, he peered behind the heavy metal container and spotted what she was referring to. “Did you touch it?”
“No.”
“Don’t. I’ll get an evidence bag from the car and be right back.” He quickly hastened down the alleyway towards the street.
Mia turned to the cat and stared. She felt like she was going insane. Or maybe she just imagined it all. Moments later, Officer Easton returned with a plastic bag marked evidence in bright red letters across it. Using the inside of the bag, he picked up the discarded glove, turned the bag back and sealed it. “Good work,” he mumbled, then headed back into the kitchen.
The cat moved over to sit beside Mia. Without a word, she stared at him in confusion.
“Meow, meow?” {You can really hear me?}
“Yes. I don’t know how, but I can. How can you even be talking to me so that I understand what you’re saying? I’m dreaming, right? I’ve turned fifteen and am now having a nervous breakdown. Or those cupcakes got me lit on something higher than chocolate.”
Eve walked out then. “Mia? Who are you talking to?” The older woman moved to sit next to her daughter.
“No one, Mom. Just flipping my lid is all.”
“What do you mean? And who is your cute little friend?”
Mia shrugged. “I don’t know. He’s been coming around since opening night and I have been giving him some scraps of food.” She didn’t want to tell her mom why she suddenly felt the need to see a shrink and get some happy pills. Maybe she was on some TV show, like Punk’d or Impractical Jokers, and wondered when the hidden cameras were going to pop up.
“Were you talking to him?”
Mia gave her a puzzled look. “Sure. Why not? I was talking to the cat.”
Eve tilted her head slightly as she looked the animal over. “And is he talking to you?”
“What?”
“Is the cat talking to you?” Eve was dead serious, but Mia felt like she entered the Twilight Zone.

Love the cover on this one! ~ Lynn

​I have loved reading since I was old enough to do it. I started writing in my down time in 2006 and have been doing it ever since.

Reading, writing, and hanging out with my family are some of my favorite things - along with hot chocolate and pizza (not together, of course).

With a bachelors in Accounting, writing has been a great way to unwind and let my imagination fly.
