My goal as an author is to entice the reader to ask, "And then what happened?"

I tend to write when the mood strikes, and, oftentimes, when I'm planning to work on a specific book, my brain decides to throw me a curveball and send me in a completely different direction with a new series. I've dubbed my chaotic brain the "Noodle Motel." The rooms are all full with books yet to be written, but still guests show up, and I need to make room for them.

Below are short summaries of books or series of books that are unpublished or unfinished. I do not have definite completion or publication dates for any of these yet, but as I do, I'll update the page. They are listed in no particular order and are separated for both Annie Rife and Lyra Zonder.

I've put a thumbnail cover for aesthetic purposes, but I haven't officially designed covers for any of the books yet. I have lots of ideas, but nothing finished.

"Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun."  ~Christina Rossetti

I'll list the books coming soon for Annie Rife first simply because there are fewer of them. Enjoy!

This is the third book in the Visions series, and takes place about two weeks after book two, Visions of Fire, leaves off. Xander is at the doctor trying to explain that his episode of cardiac arrest was not from a faulty heart but from Iago using him as a battery to try and manifest in this world. While Xander is on medical leave, he's left Charlie in charge of getting the new SID department furnished and set up in the FBI Portland Field Office building. Xander is set to go back to work when Dani has a vision of what she believes is Xander having an affair with another woman. When the SID gets up and running, Zane has hired an office manager for Xander's new department. When Dani sees her, she realizes that the new office manager is the woman in her vision. As if that's not bad enough, departments from all over the area are sending over their cold cases for Xander to see if he can solve them. There's something familiar about several faces in some of the case files, but Xander can't seem to place where he's seen them before.

This book is all written, I actually had it mostly written five years ago but stopped when I got to a specific part that I didn't want to write. I finished it, though. I still have a lot of editing to do, so a publication date is yet to be determined. I'm hoping for 2027.

Indigo Moon is the sixth book in the Chosen of Bella Luna series. The series includes the same cast of characters throughout all the books, but each book will focus on a separate couple. The overall theme is Killian’s journey to discover the Alpha that he is destined to be. For this series, I delve into the world of werewolves, including their beliefs, culture, and lives that are among, and yet separate from, the humans that inhabit the world with them. In Indfigo Moon we get the story behind the female that was introduced in Gentle Moon, Indigo Gentry. She finds out that her ex-husband used her as a marker for a gambling debt and that the one day she spent with Logan Delaney might have resulted in more than just pleasant memories. Logan is trying his best to fill the shoes that Killian left as Samhradh pack Enforcer. When Indigo comes to live with Fin at the Teaghlach pack, Logan's loyalty is tested, especially when it becomes clear that Indigo is pregnant with his pup.
 
I’m planning nine books for The Chosen of Bella Luna series. I've books one through seven completed. Book 1, Harvest Moon, Book 2, Shadow Moon, Book 3 Blue Moon, Book 4 Crimson Moon, and Book 5 Gentle Moon  are available for sale. I have copious notes on book eight but have not started book nine.

I'm planning to release Indigo Moon in 2027.

Four thousand years ago, demons invaded the realms of the elemental fey. The fairies and several other fey races combined their power to open a portal and escape to safety. Four demons, however, managed to get through the portal before it could be closed. The portal that they all came through opened into the human realm. Now, with no way of ever going back home, both fairies and demons are fighting again. The fairies to protect their new home realm and its inhabitants. The demons to take over.
 
But what happens when a being more powerful than both comes into the realm and threatens its destruction? Can the fairies and demons put aside their differences to form an alliance to protect the realm they both consider home?
 
This Elemental Alliance series will consist of four books: Threshold (Book 1): Earth and Air, Inception (Book 2): Fire and Earth, Endeavor (Book 3): Air and Fire, and Crescendo (Book 4): Water and Water
 
I have books one and two completed, I’m starting book three, and have notes on book four. The first two books, Threshold and Inception, are available for sale. I plan to write Endeavor and Crescendo in 2027 and should be published in 2028.
Blood Battle will be the fourth book in the Arkainian Chronicles series. Book three left off with General Lupenelius' battleship arriving at Arkainia. He was coming to take back the mountain as directed by the Glypha Committee. Lokun knows the battle is coming. He not only feels it looming, but he also received a message from Jorial telling him of the imminent attack. This book will mainly be about the impending battle and the battle itself.

The additional storylines of the happenings on the Arkainian outpost on Earth's moon will continue with this book. As will the growing Underground movement going on in the three outlying cities surrounding Mesta. And, I can't forget the story of what's happening inside the Rukkus settlement. Who knows what havoc will happen there, since trouble always seems to find is way to most of my characters.

As of right now, I have no idea how many books are going to be in the series. I know how I want the story to end. What is uncertain is how long the journey will be for us all to get there. Book 1, Blood Bound, Book 2, Blood Born, and Book 3, Blood Blessed are available for sale. I haven't written Book 4 yet, but hope to do so in 2026. Blood Battle is planned to be published sometime in 2027 if I write it this year.
The first book in the series, Blue, follows the story of Ashley Blume and Matthias the Blue. The second book, Green, adds the new characters of Tobias the Green and Calico Zanetti. The story is told from first person POV from each Ashley and Calico (alternating chapters and POV). We were introduced to Sienna Montrose in Green, as well as heard Matthias tell Ashley about the Reds. In the epilogue of Green, we're shown the two new characters added in Red. Sienna is struggling with nightmares and the lack of music in the dystopian world that she had been forced to live in. She's skilled at Krav Maga and isn't scared of the lycans. She just wants them gone so her world can maybe go back to normal. When Tobias the Green went back to the realm of light, he explained to Sophia the Blue the situation Matthias has decided to stay in, namely in human form with Ashley. She sends Elias the Red to watch over him to make sure he stays safe until the lycans and vampires leave. Red, takes place after the vampires leave. Lucan's are quickly overwhelming the realm. The addition of Elias the Red, an elemental skilled with body manipulation, paired with Sienna as his anchor, just might be the help they need to eradicate the lycans for good. 
 
The first and second books, Blue and Green, are available for sale. I have some ideas for Red, but nothing is written yet. I plan to write Red in 2027 and maybe get it published that year as well. 
Our government is working on creating the “super soldier.” Laboratories around the country are fighting to be the first to provide a working prototype. Dragon Labs has an advantage over all the others -- a top secret, classified advantage.
 
Grace Sandburg is one of the top genetic biologists in the country. Her specialty is herpetology, the study of lizards. Her ethics are put into question when she discovers that not only is there a secret military facility under her uncle’s lab, but they’re also using her research to create a weapon more dangerous than any other on the planet.
 
Grace finds herself on the run from the military, escaping with Project 13, the aforementioned dangerous weapon. Project 13 turns out to not be just a weapon, but a person, and as he and Grace delve into his creation, they discover something that is beyond imagination.
 
Right now, I've finished writing the first rough draft of Project 13 and am in the process to begin editing. I have plans for probably five others in the series but nothing concrete yet. My goal is to have Project 13 complete and available for sale near the end of 2026.
The word gargoyle is derived from the French word gargouille. It came from the sound made when a person gargles, because the first gargoyles were designed as ornamental downspouts to draw the water away from the building and that was the sound that people heard. Somewhere along the ages, though, gargoyles (or more accurately, grotesques) were also reputed to be guardian creatures that chased evil spirits away, which is why grotesques are so often found on churches and cathedrals, and the main reason why they look incredibly scary and gruesome.

Claude Pierre is a gargoyle who has lost his purpose. Without a purpose, a gargoyle flounders, lost in the world. When he's “purchased” by the witch, Annabel Duprie, at an estate sale, she tells him that she’s found a purpose for him. His new purpose will be to protect Aimée Reid. Over 150 years ago, a covenant was made to bind an evil spirit called a wendigo. The Reid bloodline holds that spirit at bay. When Aimée’s father dies, she’s the last descendant of the ancient bloodline and the new target for the rogue group who wants to see the wendigo released. 

I've finished writing the first rough draft of Carved in Stone and will begin the editing and layout process. I've planned four more books in this series but haven't started writing any of them yet. I'm taking the rest of 2026 to edit and process some books for publication, this being one of them, but I'm not 100% certain that I'll get to this book in 2026. If not this year, it'll be released early in 2027.
This is my newest book idea. I had a dream. In that dream, I saw three women working on building a deck on the back of a house. Inside the house, there was a person watching them working. Somehow, I realized that these three women were witches and that the person inside the house was a werewolf. That’s all the dream gave me. It was up to my noodle to manufacture the rest.

Ever since that dream, I’ve been doing research on witchcraft because, admittedly, I know very little about the subject. Since this will be one of Lyra Zonder’s books, the three witches won’t just be followers of the peaceful Wiccan earth religion. Oh, no. These are going to be real, badass, spellcasting witches. And since they belong to the coven called The Sisters of Bella Luna, I knew that this story would, somehow, relate to my Chosen of Bella Luna series, but I have no idea how yet.

I have notes about the first book and the ideas keep coming. I know there will be three books each pertaining to the three women (correlating to the Maiden, Mother, and Crone aspects of the Triple Goddess), but I don't know much more than that as of right now. I plan to write the first book in 2027. Publishing information is TBD.
