How can she expect anything more?
She cleans
She stays in shape
She schedules
Does their homework
Keeps them clean
Keeps them dressed
But doesn’t “try”
So, of course
Daddy is always the best

Regaining Lost Aspects: Mind and Soul
Through book events, poetry, and creativity, we dive a little deeper into humanity.

How can she expect anything more?
She cleans
She stays in shape
She schedules
Does their homework
Keeps them clean
Keeps them dressed
But doesn’t “try”
So, of course
Daddy is always the best

Rotate the shifts in my world
The blueberries need picked from my sky
The roses need plucked from the rivers
And I’ve gone abnormally wry

My charity for you
Is to learn the business of me
See what I can do
Take what eyes can see
Let me show you something
That’ll give humanity its toll
If I could teach you one thing
It’s to never give up hope

Sing me a lullaby
And help me pull through
Can’t be touched by anyone
Unless it’s you
Need you for safety
Remind me, don’t lie
That you’ll be there forever
You’ll help me get by





This year was the first time my husband attended a writing conference with me! He arrived the day after it started and definitely left an impression, at least on my heart.
This is the third conference I have attended and it was vastly different than any of the others. This conference was not just for writers but also for readers, which made it so much more intimate and cute. It was also the smallest conference I have been to so far!
Some of the amazing activities that they provided was a Murder Mystery Event! You can see above that my husband came dressed for the party just like he had for the pajama party. Along with those two events, where the authors participated greatly to entertain readers, they had a bestie night, author lunches, alone time, and a signing event where my husband and I bought so many books. The authors’ participation really had our appreciation and love for them growing.
This conference was also right on the ocean, so I had my first experience with the tide, which was terrifying!! I didn’t really understand or know how the ocean could be so close to the hotel in the morning and then crawl so far out at night. It definitely made me more terrified of the ocean.
But anyway, this conference was such an eye-opener. We learned so many things about relations and just how feeing writing can be in general. Honestly, I came away from this realizing that I can be more of who I am than I already am. I can fully explore myself and the real me without being afraid. I can finally welcome my true self to the world.
With that, expect our writing and business to not take a turn but to branch off. The branches later will be called Kasverse in the Dark and Lockdrest in the Dark. Those stories will still take place in our universes but the stories will be more adult themed. There will also be another branch later that we will be calling Kasverse After Dark and Lockrest After Dark, where I will be putting stories you cannot find elsewhere that are a little too mature for the eyes.
After this conference, I signed up for two more conferences I will be attending this year on top of the two I have already signed up for. One will be to train me to write our ‘In the Dark’ and ‘After Dark’ pieces of our universes correctly.
I have many more pictures and a video posted on my social media accounts if you want to check out more that this amazing conference had to offer. I am very thankful for all the authors, writers, readers, and staff who put this amazing event on for us. It gave us many memories, friends, and helped us make life-changing decisions in order to grow.

Everyone meet Hethei!
Hethei is the sidekick to the main character Airya in our book Unredeemed. He is a cute little owl with special powers that match the main character’s. He is adorable, lovely, and is very opinionated.
The whole reason that Hethei exists is because of my youngest daughter, Dawn. She would not speak or make a noise when she was a baby. It was then that my crazy imagination went, “Hmmm, what if she can only speak to owls?” One night after this thought, I came up with a princess who had an owl companion. The story didn’t end up being a type of story where the princess can only speak to owls, instead we went with a deeper narrative on colonization. But Hethei wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for that spark of thought, thanks to my youngest.
Colin Moore Alvarado made this beautiful piece of art for us that we greatly adore.

Hethei is also on our Unredeemed bookmark that you get for free if you order a paperback directly from us. We also have a cute pin of him, which I listed!



Give me an excuse to laugh,
Even though life is falling apart.
Without you here to hold my hand,
My heart’s twisting and growing tart
Mirrors turn away from me.
Eyes dim for everyone I see.
Without you here with me,
I’m lost and forever will bleed.
Now I sit as the villain in the story.
With all doors shut, people glance away.
You’re no longer my prince charming
After you left and refused to stay.
But what makes me the monster
after you turned my heart to gold?
You ripped the value from me
And whispered I’m wrecked. Now disposed.
Was I never worthy of you?
Or did you like to watch me bleed?
I gave everything to love you.
Forever a tainted memory.

Let’s start this off by saying that this beautiful piece of art is by Colin Moore Alvarado. Creating this piece of art was a challenge for both of us, but Colin never gave up, and this is what became of many weeks of hard work. The biggest challenge had been trying to capture this magnificent viewpoint.
This is Nokia. A kingdom where a brother and a sister rule as the Brillia King and Queen. If you want more information on the kingdom, the link is below to take you to a page all about it.
I would love to say that Nokia came from a particular idea, but it came from many random ideas I had that I put together. Then, while in the kingdom, I let my mind roam. It was fun creating this. What brought about this kingdom, in general, was needing a place linked to a particular item that the main character needed to find that also brought her to a place that was a little different from her world and challenged her heart along with her beliefs.
If you want to dive into the fantasy aspects of this kingdom where a brother and sister rule as the Brillia King and Queen, click about Nokia below. If you want to be taken to the book where this place is adventured, we attached the link to Unredeemed. Also, there is a link for a mug we made of Nokia with Colin’s signature and also a tumbler with the same concept. 🙂



Lust
Betraying my own soul
For you
Livid
Giving into anger
Don’t know what more to do
Soft
The feel of my heart
When it’s sitting in your hand
Liar
What you turn me into
When you don’t let me understand

My mind is always in turmoil
Because all it wants is you
A sinking ship without any hope
A love overdue
Busy life overtakes us
Like a storm over the sea
I’m drowning trying to be with you
I just need you here with me
