I am beyond excited to bring you the Ascent of the Witch Trilogy! The books follow Mel Morgan as she discovers she has powers and comes from a long line of witches. In Book 1, Maiden of Belial, Mel is thrust into a fight against an evil grandmother and the demon she worships, Belial. Along the way, she falls in love with the handsome sheriff and forges life-long friendships. Now Mel must find a way to defeat the evil and not become the next Maiden of Belial. As Book 2 and 3 develop, fifteen years have passed, and Mel and her daughter Katy are full-fledged powerful witches. Then they are called upon to once again fight the dark, while saving themselves and the ones they love.

I began writing Maiden in 1989 when my children were small and I would pound away at my Brother Word Processor down in our dark, creepy basement. My dream was to be the female equivalent of Stephen King. I loved his books! But with life, schooling and career, I set the book aside for many years. I then started a business where I worked 10 hour days, 6-7 days a week. Once we closed the business in 2020, I finally had the time to complete a total rewrite. Wow! Technology sure has changed since the late 80's. So I updated it, modernized it and even changed some of the characters and plot lines. But the gist of the novel has remained pretty steadfast. Yes it has taken me some 30 years to complete my novel, but I still love it after all this time. Thank you for joining me and I hope you stay tuned for the next chapter.
