Wind Riders, Book One of the Fallen Lands Trilogy
Literature & Fiction
With one fateful swing of the blade, young Cat Calhoun cuts himself free of a sedate life, gains a bitter enemy and thrusts himself into a world of adventure and intrigue. In a world where pirates are noble and the nobility corrupt---the fates pull the sheltered boy into a world of power, duplicity and ambition. For naïve Cat, staying true to himself in the face of changing fortunes and growing dangers might not just save him but the lives of the many calling the Fallen Lands their home. But navigating this shifting landscape of kings and thieves, assassins and outlaws, will test his courage---and his heart---in ways he could never have imagined.

How To Tame A Bear
By the time he arrives in the outlaw sanctuary of Weirhaven, the man known as Bear has proven to be coldly resourceful and cruelly cunning. But he's also defined by what he lacks--true companionship and a future worth living for. When he meets Bryn, the two share a mutual and intense attraction. But like the big man himself, surfaces don't tell the whole story. Their connection brings a rich new dimension to both their lives. But as they both learn, taking risks in life--and love--can come at a cost.
When Destinies Collide
This chapter introduces us to the book’s two central characters--Cat, the naive farm boy and Bear, the bitter giant. Their unpleasant encounter results from an unlucky mix of recklessness, bad choices and a nudge from the not so gentle hand of Fate. It’s always been my belief that life unfolds as a series of crossroads--significant intersections of people and circumstance--that give us our best hope at shaping a destiny of our choosing. But more often than not, we’re moving too quickly, our vision to myopic, to appreciate the larger implications of the path we pick and the consequence of ignoring the one we don’t.
