Alaina Michelle Sekovich is the daughter of Europe’s most famous living composer. Once his prodigy, they are now estranged. To the world, she is Michelle Seko, a multimedia star and valuable asset of the film and fashion industries.

But when her world becomes herself looking back at her and the face that is her own monster she does not know, she finds there is no place she can go, nowhere she can hide, because what she wants to escape from most is the one thing she can never truly be free of—herself. Lifeline to Marionette is a story about what life under a microscope can do to the soul. It is a story about a young woman whose every move is determined by the people who control her.

– October 15, 2019 ~ 216 pages
Abigail has just started her second year at the Tarkana Witch Academy and is already up to her ears studying for Horrid Hexes and Awful Alchemy! Worse, Endera’s malevolent spellbook has its hooks in her, whispering in her ear to use its dark magic. Meanwhile, the entire school is talking about the Rubicus Prophecy; a sign has arrived that the chosen witchling is among them, the one who will one day break Odin’s curse over them. When an Orkadian warship arrives carrying troubling news, Abigail and her friend Hugo are swept into a new mystery after a young boy from the ship, Robert Barconian, asks for their help retrieving a missing item. Along with the former glitch-witch, Calla, the four friends end up deep in the catacombs beneath the Tarkana Fortress―a place where the draugar, the living dead, wander about. Abigail discovers there is more to the Rubicus Prophecy than anyone ever imagined. Can she stop it in time before she and her friends are destroyed? Filled with magical spells, spine-tingling ghosts, and visits from the Norse gods, The Rubicus Prophecy pits Abigail against a sinister power greater than anything she has ever imagined. ![]()

She’s just unwittingly helped Vertulious, an ancient he-witch and powerful alchemist, destroy Odin’s Stone and restore his powers, and now all of Orkney is caught up in the threat of war as the witches prepare to destroy the helpless Orkadians. Determined to set things right, Abigail and Hugo set off for Jotunheim, the land of the giants, to find a weapon to restore the balance. All they have to do is track down the God of Thunder and convince Thor to turn his hammer over to them. When their former-friend-now-foe Robert Barconian arrives with a band of dwarves, intent on stopping them, Abigail and friends must unite to prevent a war that will destroy them all. But has Abigail made the biggest mistake of all by trusting in the wrong ally? Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Bookshop | Indiebound ![]()

The most "Spooktacular Event Of My Life"? When the poor lady who did the initial "wand" ultrasound told me I was having twins...... I may have threatened her life on accident due to my shock.

I think for me is when I was talking to a spirit and didn't realize it was a spirit, long story here.

I think the fall night I was walking to an event down my very spooky country road. It was pitch dark and very windy. All of a sudden, a man just popped out of the woods on the side of the road. Where he came from, I don't know as all of that was cow pasture. We walked the rest of the road and went separate ways. Spooky!

Going through a tornado was petty spooktacula. Thankfully it didn't cause a lot of damage.

I've seen ghosts here and there where I used to live. They used to open and close doors.

I believe you. My daughters claimed there was a ghost downstairs where their bedroom is. I just snickered. Then one day my daughter came home with writing on her full length mirror using lipstick. it didn't really say anything. the thing of it is, I was home and NOBODY was here.
