Published: Princess of Kurg
I'm pleased to announce Princess of Kurg, book four of Jigsaw City, has been published.
The Ebook was published last week and print copies just became available today.
Having collected the fragments of the magic city of Kurg from her home planet, Nicole turns her gaze upward, to the stars of the Milky Way, soon coming into conflict with gun-slinging snails, aliens, the dragon she raised from an egg, some really annoying monkeys with crossbows and even fairies.Barely sleeping, due to the stress, she's frustrated by the politics of running a city and the endless diplomacy required to gain access to every corner of the galaxy, but controlling her anger always was one of her weakest points.
Ruling a magic, flying city was never Nicole's dream, but with no better alternative, her reality increasingly begins to resemble one of her nightmares...
Will Nicole blow her top and possibly a few cities along the way, or will the poor woman find peace and a little quality sleep? Will she make the hard choices, or will the hard choices make her?

Stone Prophet is Published!
I'm pleased to announce volume thee of Jigsaw City, titled Stone Prophet, has been published.
The Ebook released last week and print copies released today. The cover art hasn't quite made its way to Amazon, though it is for sale there.
Nicole Jacobs wants to reassemble the ancient and magical City of Kurg, but as a result of a recent battle, pieces of the city were scattered all over her world. Worse, unlike the ones scattered around the galaxy, which constantly talk to her, nagging to be whole again, they’re quiet and deactivated.As she struggles with the question of how to find them, she senses a piece of the city coming to life again and she’s drawn like a moth to the flame, to an ancient ruin built by the stone men that made the city. There, she meets a dwarf history miner, who holds the piece, which is folded up like a little coin.
More interesting, however, is an amber lens in his possession that shows glimpses of the past and future when looked through. Even more odd, it’s been whispering into the dwarf’s mind. The strange object is presented to the stone men, who know what it is: it’s a piece of the Seventh Sage, one of their people with a prophetic gift.
Nicole leads a team on a series of missions to collect the Sage in the hopes he can locate the missing pieces of Kurg. The journey is harsh and emotionally painful, because Nicole is forced to kill, not just once, but three times, leaving her distraught, because she wishes she’d found another way.
Collecting the last piece is especially difficult, forcing her to test her resolve with the life of a friend hanging in the balance.
Nicole completes the Sage, but little does she know, a great and powerful enemy lurks within his mind, an ancient and powerful witch whose powers are in a class of their own.
Will Nicole rise to the challenge and fulfill prophesy by becoming the Leader of the stone men, or will the parasitic soul that’s taken over the Sage steal her fate?
