I spend a fair amount of time writing, and I thought I'd publish here a list of my books and articles, so you can check them out if you like. I will try and update this periodically. I'm not sure if the links work...

Authored:
The Warrior's Box (Fiction), June 2011 This is an e-book, sold only on the Publisher's Podium website. Here's more about it: On the eve of her 14th birthday, Robin Barnes discovers she is no ordinary girl. It starts with a terrifying dream. Then her uncle tells Robin she has an ancient and noble lineage going back thousands of years. Robin is the first female Warrior in decades and she has powers that allow her to fight evil in the world. She is also a guardian of the mysterious and fabled Warrior's Box. Robin leaves her home for a remote training camp in the mountains, where she’s challenged to understand and control her amazing gifts. Her training and courage are put to the test when the person she loves most in the world goes missing, and Robin must use all her newfound powers to deal with the malevolent entity that will stop at nothing to possess The Warrior’s Box.
