1009238-1001879-thumbnail.jpgYou have ten seconds to make a decision:

let a madman take your child, or watch your son die.

Choose!

 

A mother's descent into alcoholism and madness leads to strange apparitions and a face-to-face encounter with the monster who abducted her son--a man known only as...
The Fog.

Sadie O'Connell is a bestselling author and a proud mother. But her life is about to spiral out of control.

After her six-year-old son Sam is kidnapped by a serial abductor known as The Fog, she nearly goes insane. But it isn't just the fear and grief that is ripping her apart. It's the guilt.

She is the only person who knows what The Fog looks like. And she can't tell a soul. For if she does, her son will be sent back to her in "little bloody pieces".

When her unfaithful husband stumbles across a drawing of The Fog, he sets into play a series of horrific events that sends Sadie hurtling over the edge. Unable to deal with her pain, she drowns her sorrow the only way she knows.

Please note: There is no release date as of yet. Also, the cover above is a mock-up cover designed by me for pure inspiration. There is no guarantee that the cover of Children of the Fog will look anything like this once a publisher picks it up. 


 

1009238-1001855-thumbnail.jpgSometimes politics is MURDER!

 

CFBI agent Jasi McLellan battles a serious infection that threatens to claim her life. Slipping in and out of consciousness, she remembers the Parliament Murders.

One by one, members of Parliament are disappearing, only to be found days later ― disoriented and drugged. Two have washed up on the shore…dead.

In this extreme case of identity theft, Jasi and her PSI team head for Ottawa. Accompanied by longtime partner, Ben Roberts, and the new VE, Natassia Prushenko, Jasi uncovers a plot so devious that Canada's national security is put at risk.

And to make matters worse, Jasi bumps into an old flame, Zane Underhill, who wants to pick up where they had left off three years ago. It doesn't take long before Jasi realizes that Zane isn't the person she once knew. In the end, Jasi is forced to make a decision ― one that will cost the life of a friend.

Watch for Cheryl Kaye Tardif's second novel in the Divine psi-fi series.

Please note: There is no release date as of yet. I am waiting to see if Divine Intervention is picked up by a bigger publisher with better distribution. Also, the cover above is a mock-up cover designed by me for pure inspiration. There is no guarantee that the cover of Divine Justice will look anything like this once a publisher picks it up.

kpk10.jpgThis is a delightful picture book with delicate fantasy watercolors that take children away to the land of the Elflings, creatures that are half-fairy and half-elf.

The story follows Jessica, a young human girl, on a journey to find the Elfling Princess. With the help of her brother, Sebastien, and three Elflings, Jessica must find the Princess before the final page of The Book of Wonders turns, or else a terrible monster will be loosed upon them all and the Elflings will be destroyed forever.

This enchanting story makes a beautiful bedtime story for boys and girls, and has an awesome message for both young and old.

Step into the world of the Elflings

and let yourself imagine...
