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Below are short summaries of books or series of books that are unpublished or unfinished.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.

Gentle Moon is the fifth 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. Gentle Moon sees Fionnuala turn thirty. We find out what happens between her and Logan for their courtship. Do they form a companion mating and does Fin stay in the Samhradh pack, or does Rajah finally admit his feelings for her and fight to keep his chosen mate with him as he joins Killian in the Teaghlach pack?
 
I’m planning nine books for The Chosen of Bella Luna series. I have books one through seven completed. Book 1, Harvest Moon, Book 2, Shadow Moon, Book 3 Blue Moon, and Book 4 Crimson Moon are available for sale. I have copious notes on book eight but have not started book nine.

I'm planning to release Gentle Moon in 2026. I have the book laid out and have ordered a copy of it for a final edit.
​
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 book, Threshold, is available for sale. Inception is scheduled to be released in 2026.
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.
 Twenty-five years from now, a war is raging. Not a war among humans, but a war between vampires and lycanthropes to dominate the human realm. Most humans have been captured and put into farms to be used as food. The rest are being hunted down and killed. The few humans that remain are scattered and disorganized.
 
The first book in the series, Blue, follows the story of Ashley Blume and Matthias the Blue. In Green, Ashley and Matthias are roaming in search of humans to recruit in their quest to fight the lycans. They meet up with Kali Zanetti, a woman who has lost her entire family to the war. Kali's angry and is looking for revenge against the lycans. Meanwhile, Matthias' disappearance is noticed back in his home realm, and his friend, Tobias the Green, comes looking for him. The Greens are masters of defensive magic and never use their powers to attack. Tobias needs an anchor to solidify in the realm, and Kali is the one who volunteers to anchor him. Kali is set on revenge and having a big, strong elemental at her beck and call is just what she needs to realize that revenge, however, Tobias refuses to use his powers to attack.
 
The first book, Blue, is available for sale. I have some ideas for the second and third book, but nothing has been written yet. I was contemplating doing at least the primary colors, which would make this a trilogy instead of a series, but I just don't know yet. I hope to find the time to outline and write the book in 2026, but have many other books that also are pressing for my time, so I'm not sure if I'll write this in 2026 or in 2027.
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 am about two-thirds through writing Project 13. I have plans for probably four or five others in the series but nothing concrete yet. My goal is to have Project 13 complete and available for sale sometime in 2026.
​The word gargoyle was derived from the French word gargouille. It came from the sound made when you gargle, because the first gargoyles were designed as downspouts to draw the water away from the building and that was the sound that people heard. Somewhere along the ages, though, they were also reputed to be guardian creatures that chased evil spirits away, which was why they are so often found on churches and cathedrals, and the main reason they look incredibly scary and gruesome.
 
Claude Pierre is a gargoyle who has lost his purpose. Without a purpose, a gargoyle flounders, lost. When he is “purchased” by a witch at an estate sale, she tells him that she has found a purpose for him. His new purpose will be to guard Aimée Reid. Hundreds of years ago, a covenant was made to bind an evil spirit. The Reid bloodline holds the spirit at bay. When Aimée’s father dies, she’s the last descendant and the new target for the ones who want to see the spirit released.
 
I’m over halfway done with the first untitled book. I have plans for possibly four more. My goal for 2026 is to finish the book and find a suitable title for it. Depending on timing, I might not get this published until 2027. I have notes on the other books, but nothing concrete (pun intended).
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 2026. Publishing information is TBD.
It isn’t every day you learn that inside you is the hope of the entire world.

Lucy Hamilton is just an ordinary human. Or so she thinks. She’s a volunteer at an animal shelter, and when she finds what she thinks is an injured stray dog, events are set in motion that will change her life forever. People and stories that she thought were myth turn out to be real, and that reality is now trying to get back something she has.
 
Solace is a shapeshifter without a purpose, until he’s told to find Lucy and keep her safe. But before he fully grasps his mission, he realizes he’s led the danger right to her. Once set with his purpose, Solace helps Lucy attempt to understand why she’s in danger and what they can do to stop it.
 
What they discover is that the myth of Pandora’s Box isn’t a myth at all, and that Lucy houses the one spirit that remained in the box when the others escaped: the spirit of hope. Solace and Lucy’s mission is to figure out how to get the spirit of hope into a suitable vessel before Pandora comes back to collect what she views as hers and hides it away from humanity. 
 
There’s just one problem: Solace and Lucy discover that the only way to get the spirit out of a living vessel is for the living vessel to die.

I'm currently writing this one and hope (pun intended) to have it published by the end of 2026, but it might push to 2027 as I have decided to dedicate 2026 to writing and 2027 to publishing.
