Novel - The Emeralds of Shenah

An adventure/fantasy novel published on Kindle Books. The Emeralds of Shenah.

In an ancient land of warriors, maidens, and mages, a prince learns of his destiny through a terrifying prophecy. With the help of the son of a slave, a little boy who has survived an abusive father, a young mage, and a maiden who loves the prince as a man before learning he is the crown prince, they prepare for a battle of unimaginable evil.

Filled with moments of heart, anguish, jocular banter and romance, The Emeralds of Shenah transports readers deep into a world of royals, mystics and warriors. Lavish wealth, heroism, stomach-turning bad guys, magical beings – it is a place where emeralds are so rare mages use them to enhance their powers.

Novel - Goose Creek

I write and publish on Kindle Books. I also enjoy dabbling in amateur photography and post my images for all to use on a public domain site called pixabay.com under the pseudonym 'James DeMers'.

I spent a good portion of my childhood growing up or visiting relatives in and around Loudoun, Clarke, Fauquier, and Frederick Counties, Virgina. One of my books 'Goose Creek' is a coming-of-age suspense set on an equestrian estate in Loudoun County near the fictional town of Chinsburg (based on Middleburg with a tad of artistic license).

Everything he was to become happened near a small creek in rural Virginia…

When two teenage boys first meet their worlds are falling apart. Dare, a farrier’s son is struggling to survive bullying in school and abuse at home. James's wealthy father lies dying in the big house leaving him an orphan in the care of his uber-wealthy grandmother. Together, with a foundling dog, a down-on-her-luck prostitute, and an English butler--a gentleman with surprising talents--the young men traverse the daunting world of teenage boys coming-of-age.



Neither youth is aware their friendship will be the catalyst that dredges up long suppressed secrets. Secrets on such a scale it becomes a deadly game.
