The Path of the Stone
A Stone that knows good, and punishes evil
When Eva leaves a party with a stolen jacket, followed by her ex-boyfriend, Darryn, she has no idea what dangerous item is hidden in its pocket.
When her hand closes around it and its heat sears her skin, the ground splits open, whisking her and Darryn away into an underground time tunnel.
Daniel, who is Darryn’s brother and the only witness to the strange event, retrieves the Stone, unwittingly unleashing its owner, Aeron.
Aeron, a creature of darkness, weakened by the loss of the Stone, is set on killing Daniel and recovering his lost power, but Calliope, a wayward harpy, puts a stop to his plan, snatching Daniel out of his grasp.
While Eva and Darryn land in the year 1708, in a strange village that is run by Zora, an evil witch, Daniel and Calliope remain in the 21st Century, doing their utmost to outrun Aeron and his minions.
Eva and Darryn have no choice but to team up with Azure, queen of the Forest Harpies, and Captain Green who commands a pirate ship and is somehow allied with the harpies.
Azure finds Aeron’s loss of the Stone propitious and takes the opportunity to start a rebellion against him, to achieve the harpies’ freedom of his harsh rule.
Eva has no desire to be stuck in the 18th century with her ex-boyfriend who has betrayed her in the past, but events force them to stick together and she slowly begins to understand her own role in previous events that have kept her and Darryn apart.
When Zora forms a reluctant alliance with the harpies, pirates, and Eva and Darryn, no one knows who to trust anymore in their quest to find the Stone.
Still stuck in the 21st Century, Calliope takes it upon herself to protect Daniel, whom she considers a weak human, but in the short time they spend together a strong bond grows between them.
Two parallel stories, two different worlds, even two different centuries, both with a common purpose: find the Stone before Aeron does.
If Aeron gets his hands on the Stone, all will be lost and harpies and pirates will be shackled to his tyranny while humans will be subject to his whims, but if the harpy- human- and witch alliance retrieves the Stone before Aeron does, their world will be safe.
Well, as long as Zora doesn’t betray them.
Given Zora’s history with Aeron, how much can they truly trust her?
The Rise of the Stone – Prequel to the Path of the Stone
Azure first appears in The Path of the Stone as a major side character, but her tale begins long before that, in Macedonia, in 341 BC, during her mortal days.
Bhava, Azure’s best friend, is marked to die. The scaffold is being prepared and the town’s female healers are lined up for execution. Soon, the authorities will be coming for Bhava, because she has healing powers and is therefore feared as a witch.
Unwilling to let this happen, Azure orchestrates a daring escape and saves Bhava’s life. Forced to leave town, they embark on a daring journey to Gaul where Bhava’s mother lives. The trip is not without its dangers, and as obstacles and attacks pile up, Azure quickly discovers that Bhava’s skills extend far beyond healing.
When they reach Gaul, the truth about Bhava is finally revealed.
Azure, having experienced Bhava’s unpleasant change, now witnesses her joining forces with her birth mother, Boudicca, a dark witch. Bhava’s final betrayal breaks their bond, forcing Azure to leave her forever, not knowing that her decision sets her on her own journey… which is only just beginning.
A village of harpies – Boudicca’s mortal enemies – awaits Azure, making her regret ever having saved Bhava’s life. Soon, all hell breaks loose, and Azure will have to go to extraordinary lengths to survive, traveling over faraway lands and even time.
How to Heal from Burnout – my Road to Recovery
Based on personal experience
In 2016 I was diagnosed with burnout, but it could have started earlier than that. Going through burnout feels like trudging through an endless dark tunnel where the light is nowhere in sight. It is something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone, and the day I finally healed – in 2018 – was one of the happiest days of my life.
Burnout is not only exclusive to the workplace, but also to other factors, such as abuse at home, frustrating and long procedures one has to go through at bureaucratic institutions, schools, universities, you name it. Burnout is a modern-day disease that affects many and, somehow, it still has so little understanding.
When I experienced burnout there wasn’t much help available, and after I finally crept out of that tunnel back into the light I decided that I wanted to help people who are going through burnout, to give the help I would have loved to have when it happened to me.
So, this book is not about me, but for you, to help you. With what I’ve learned during my road to recovery, I would like to guide you through this dark tunnel or hold up a torch to show the way.
Thorn Heart
A fantasy that starts as a fairytale and explodes into full-blown war – with an underlying vegan message.
In 2285 it would be exactly two hundred years since the Mountain and the Valley Kingdoms had been created. It had taken time and many errors, even when everyone did their best to avoid the mistakes of the past that had led to destruction of life.
The human world was destroyed. Technology was gone, electricity and running water were no more, whole cities had been obliterated, and food supply was scarce. The survivors awoke to a new world where humans once more were weak and defenseless, stripped of their protective towns and comforts, tools and weapons, machinery and cars. The food chain was no longer what humans had created and believed, but it reverted to how it had been before they took over the world. All they had left now was their common sense and the will to survive in this post-apocalyptic world.
They knew their place.
They knew that they could not repeat past mistakes.
Never again.
****
Two kingdoms, opposed in philosophy and action
The Mountain Kingdom is a place of peace and respect for all sentient beings. The Valley Kingdom clings to the old destructive ways.
Special talents such as animal speech, top speed, and other superhuman attributes are honed and revered in the Mountains, but non-existent in the Valley.
Luna, a young noblewoman with the talent of animal speech, and Prince Storm of the Mountain are betrothed, and nothing seems to stand in the way of their arranged marriage. Storm is a good man and Luna needs an escape from her abusive home.
Bluntax, the Valley king, has long desired everything the Mountain Kingdom possesses, and the upcoming royal wedding between Luna and Storm might be just what he needs to provoke the Mountain Kingdom into a battle they cannot win. His son, Thorn, is his strongest asset and the only man who can help him succeed.
The Mountain Kingdom is unprepared for the threats from the Valley, but when Thorn meets Luna, events are set in motion, forcing them both to make decisions that could change their fates forever.
While human and animal refugees seek shelter in the Mountains to flee the terrors of the Valley, King Bluntax prepares for war.
Thorn finds his destiny intrinsically linked to Luna and he must decide. Will he betray her and help his father achieve victory or will he forsake his family and stand by the woman who is also engaged to his rival?

Book 3 in the Aurélie series
After centuries of hatred, vampires and werewolves have finally achieved peace. Vampire Aurélie has settled down in her house in Paris, sharing her turf with Seraphin, a unique creature who carries both vampire and werewolf blood.
The sudden news of an assault on Penelope´s lair threatens this very peace. If Penelope, fount of the vampires, is killed, the vampire blood line will be destroyed.
All suspicions point to Akira, fount of the werewolves. With the help of Lucan – her maker – and Seraphin, Aurélie embarks on a journey to find the culprit behind the attack. Soon, she discovers that this quest is more than she bargained for and that a war threatens.
Aurélie must find Akira to stop the devastating events, but it turns out to be more difficult than she expected, finding betrayal with someone she trusted and a reluctant ally among her enemies. Aurélie realizes that – to preserve her own existence – she is fighting for a creature she loathes, and that Akira, the one she has always admired, may indeed be her enemy.
With only herself to trust, how can she stop this war that menaces the very existence of vampires, and perhaps even werewolves?
