Drachen is an adventure thriller that starts with Brett Rivera on the run, and stays with her as she races to find a legendary lost treasure of Hanseatic League. Along the way she has to test herself and her allegiances as the clues take her through Estonia, Latvia, Poland, and Germany.

This novel is an essay on human interaction when people are thrown together and forced to work toward a common goal, although they have little in common and would likely not (of their own volition) ever choose to be connected to each other.

Queensboro is the follow-up novel to Crow Creek.  The story follows the search for a missing girl and ends with a biological experiment gone wrong.

How did you come to self-publish? Did you try to get published traditionally?  
Since I self-published Crow Creek, I figured I’d do the same with my second book.  I queried a couple of publishers and a few agents this time around.  I didn’t pitch the complete novel until after I had already self-published.
