About me: I was born in Jamaica but immigrated to the US when I was young. I have worked in various places doing various things, but I am currently an author--my dream job.

I have written many articles for online companies and self-published the first seven books in my Silver Foxes series. The entire series is available in my gallery here, but I am releasing revised and updated versions of the stories which are/will be available for purchase on Amazonin both print and Kindle formats. Right now, I am getting ready to release the eighth, Aftermath, for purchase. The others in the series are in a raw state until I get around to revising and releasing them in print and/or ebook form.

My first traditionally published work is a Christian, fantasy, middle grade novel named, Lucas, Guardian of Truth . Lucas, an 11 year old with an overactive imagination, must use all his creativity and bravery, as well as the Book of Truth, to overcome darkness and save the world of Kalaria from destruction.

My YA novel, Prince of the Sun, Princess of the Moon released in Feb 20, 2018. Siblings, Joshua and Deborah, must untangle a web of lies and deceit to uncover the secret of who they really are and save their world from an imminent disaster brewing in the heavens. It is currently available only on Kindle format. I plan to make the sequel, Light of Alandri, available for purchase in June 2019.

I am currently working on new stories for publication. I will occasionally upload short stories as well as other, longer works I write for fun.

I hope you will stop by my gallery for a while . . . and drop a comment telling me what you think. I like comments. :XD:

It’s today! It’s today! Announcement day! I’m so excited! So, you know how I said Rise to Power would be the last Silver Foxes finale? Yeah, so . . . I thought the Rise to Power trilogy was the end. I did. But then I was walking along thinking about the series, and I realized I had one more story to tell: Skitter’s. I never concluded his story. So, now I have. Here’s the description. Nothing pleases Skitter more than sitting in his Macaya tree, talking to Kadaiel, and spending time with his little brother, Yori . . . except maybe receiving a letter from his best friend, Kathra, the girl he secretly wishes was more than a friend. But when Yori falls ill and needs surgery which cannot be performed on Kasate, Skitter must take his beloved brother across the ocean to find the Healer Kadaiel has chosen to save him. Can Skitter find her in time? Or will he lose his little brother forever? It will release on April 7, 2024, and preorders are available now.

Over the years I’ve been writing the Silver Foxes series, the art has changed. Today, I want to go through the book covers and tell you a little bit about them. Silver Foxes: When Taz (formerly Tazi-san or RisenArt on dA) drew this picture of Max, I knew I wanted this as the cover of the first book, if I ever published it. So when I decided to release it, I used it (with permission, of course). The first version of the book looked a bit different: That’s because I thought Lulu (the platform I used back then) had a size limit for the cover file. This was the only way I could use Taz’s art and keep the file size small. When I revamped and re-released it, I changed it to the cover I have now. Winds of Change: Taz had the idea to make the lineart of this pic “silver” by inverting the colors—black background and white line art. I can’t remember why she couldn’t do it at the time, but I did what she suggested. I didn’t turn out so well. She tried to fix it, but .

I've been meaning to ask what some of the food items in the Silver Foxes series are similar to, for the sake of reference.

What's the closest real world equivalent to...

...panmalo juice?

...flowersuckle tea?

...Chicken Dublón?

...BomBase fruits?

Panmalo juice--probably closest to mango juice--it definitely has the same texture as mango juice

Flowersuckle tea-any type of tea, just flowery and sweet

Chicken Dublon--Not sure . . . Um, probably closest to any type of stewed chicken in a tomato based sauce, but with beets instead.

BomBase fruit-- a mix of cucumber and . . . apple? (I forget exactly what, but one of the books say what it smells like); actually, I think I was most inspired by a Jamaican Apple (also known as a Malay Apple), but most people I know haven't tasted that. Jamaican apples taste mild and rosy and are so good. They do not taste like cucumbers, though. =)

Cool!

Thanks for the info, and for getting back to me so quick!

=) You just happened to ask right before I came on yesterday. :XD:
