Crown of the Phoenix Excerpt:

She couldn’t take it anymore. “Help us. Please.” Aurelia was frantic as she whispered to the handsome winged man walking alongside them. Maybe she hadn’t imagined his expression the night before. If he really grimaced at the Warbotach leader’s words, maybe he would help them.

The entire trip he’d been but a foot away and had only spoken to issue commands. It was a foolish hope, but she had to try. His expression pinched, the only sign that he heard her, but he didn’t respond or even glance her way. She yanked on her manacles in anger and frustration, nearly making herself bleed. He reached out and grasped her wrist, his gentle touch contrasting his hardened features. He still did not look at her.

“Help me. Please.” The rage faded as fast as it had appeared, leaving only sorrow and fear behind. Her eyes burned as tears fell. She half-heartedly pulled on her manacles once more.

His ocean blue eyes softened as they met hers, and she felt hope well up inside her.

“Stop doing that. You’re going to hurt yourself,” he whispered, earning a grunt from the Warbotach beast who steered the cart. Her escort tightened his jaw, emphasizing the sharp lines and angles of his handsome face, and her paper-thin optimism was torn to shreds.

There’s a killer hiding in plain sight in New Orleans. How far will the spirits of his victims, and the woman who can see them, go to take him down?

Still fresh to the community of public defenders, Miss Hazel Watson finds herself entangled in a case of embezzlement-with a liberal dash of the supernatural. Who was this spirit haunting her client? Why is this spirit's glimmering sapphire necklace so entrancing? And, most importantly, why could Hazel not communicate with her?

Since she was a young girl, Hazel had been helping spirits conclude their earthly business so they could pass over. Her ability to communicate with spirits was passed down from her mother, who was able to help guide her and hone her necromancy skills. Hazel was never a social butterfly, but she never had a problem communicating with the dead. Until now.

There are enough challenges being a young, female, public attorney. Still, this new case presents challenges Hazel could never have anticipated.

As Mr. Miller's trial date inches closer, with more questions than answers, Hazel, with the help of her spectral best-friend, Candy, are rushing against the clock to identify the dead woman, find her killer, and avoid becoming the killer's next victim herself.
