Exciting News!

So recently, I have decided to offer The Bodyguard as a free ebook, not just as something that can be read for free on my site. As part of this, I have not only revamped the cover, I have also decided to rename the work. I felt that, upon reflection, The Bodyguard was not the most compelling name for the novel.

For this reason, The Bodyguard can now be read as The Emperor's Daughter. Over the next few days, you will be able to download The Emperor's Daughter on Amazon, Smashwords, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and other sites. It will still be free for anyone to read (Amazon will take a couple days to catch up with the "free" part, as it is currently listed at $.99, but it will get there.

I am also working on a sequel to this work, so if you're a fan, stick with me and I'll be putting out a sequel soon, possibly in the same one-chunk-at-a-time style as The Bodyguard was released in.

​Adrienne Rydaeg has always defined herself as one thing: a soldier. In Kyrog, the elite camp that Adrienne has trained at for over a decade, she works with the best soldiers to keep the plains of Samaro free and to prepare for the never-ending war against Almet.

When Adrienne is approached about a mission that could help change the course of the war forever, she is left with the choice of whether to stay in the place she loves, or leave behind everything she knows.

Buy it now on Amazon Kindle or read for free with Kindle Unlimited.

Some people might choose to end the homepage here, or add some more fun, witty, or informative content. I chose to leave you with some good songs.
When you've been working on your WIP for 12+ hours and can't remember most of it. Or after a crazy night of partying. If you're cool like that.
Because the only thing that makes that song better is Jensen Ackles singing it.
