Is It That Obvious?

Each member of the Forsythe family is on the run in one way or another: Violet, the oldest, from a disintegrating marriage; Chandler, the eldest son, from a breakup with the most desired debutante on the entire East Coast, Mattie Somers, The Philadelphia Rocket; and the youngest, Jeremiah, from both the long arm of the law and a family named Stanton bent on revenge for the killing of one of their own. Even their mother, June, is experiencing difficulty dealing with the death of her volatile husband, Ben. How this family perseveres throughout the tempestuous 1920’s is the tale these Fugitives have to tell.

Anna Nesmith has it all… Until one sleet-filled winter day, she doesn’t.

When an investigator begins asking Anna questions, her great marriage, dream job, and ordered world begin to crash like Jenga blocks.

Frank Caburn is man to the bone and manufactures testosterone like Frito Lay does chips, which seems not to impress Anna one whit as she picks through the rubble of her shattered life. Attracted to Anna, Caburn determines to make her his own, but how to tell her without tripping over a layer of secrets is beyond him.

Falling in love has never been more difficult.

In a kingdom unraveling into chaos, one outcast and her dragon hold the key to restoring balance — if they can survive long enough to unlock their power.

Since the day Dayie washed ashore as a baby, her village saw her as an outsider. Mistrust turned to fear when Deadweed — a sinister, invasive blight — devoured their land. Blamed for its spread, Dayie is sold to the ruthless Dragon Traders, her mysterious origins deemed a curse.

Years later, desperate for freedom, Dayie steals a dragon egg to pay her debt. But when the egg hatches in her hands, revealing the fiery and untamable dragon Zarr, her plans collapse. Hunted by the Dragon Traders and threatened by the encroaching Deadweed, Dayie must keep Zarr hidden — or risk losing him forever.

Her path shifts when she meets Akeem, a seasoned Dragon Rider, who reveals that the Deadweed is fueled by dark magic — and that Dayie’s bond with Zarr is for life. Now, she faces an impossible choice: surrender her dragon and finally grasp freedom or join the fabled Training Hall of Dagban. There, she could uncover the truth about her origins and find a way to stop the Deadweed’s spread.

Dayie’s destiny awaits, if she’s brave enough to follow it…
