A dying realm. 
The ancient evil of the Droch-Shúil has been unleashed. 
The Orchids have been silenced… but for how long? 

Daegan, elite of the Ferrishyn warrior tribe of Faeries, is charged with a mission to find the Sol-lumieth, a mysterious new power that could change the fate of all in the realm of Alandria. But he is conflicted by his purpose, and he cannot trust the motives of those he serves. He has too many questions and they must be answered. 

Kaeleigh, a girl abandoned as a small child just outside Missoula, Montana, is now 18. She is trying to discover who she is and where she belongs. In her heart, she feels she has family out there… somewhere. Desperate to unravel the mysteries of her past, she embarks on a journey that will forever change her along with her two best friends, Finn and Chel—who have secrets of their own.


It is FREE right now at all digital retailers!! Amazon

To start us off, can you sum up your first novel in a tweet, 140 characters or less?
Kaeleigh seeks answers to life-long questions never expecting them to come in the form of a handsome warrior Faerie from another realm.

What are you most proud of in this title?
Finishing it! lol I was 7mo pregnant when I started it and it took me four years to complete it after having the baby then going back to work full time and moving across the country 2x's!

Do you think your writing has changed since your debut? In what way?
Yes, absolutely! I feel I have grown in my technique, understanding of story structure, showing instead of telling, fluidity and pacing of the story, overall... EVERYTHING! 

If you could give one piece of advice to yourself when you were writing your first book, what would it be?
Make it a priority earlier. Don't let the obstacles and frustrations slow you down. 


What’s a question you’ve wanted to be asked in an interview? What’s your answer?
Is there anything significant about your debut? Why yes, thank you for asking ;) My husband who is a musician and a friend of his created an original soundtrack to go with my book!! How cool is that?!

New Release with 2 #Giveaways! by Tia Bach

It’s finally here!

Chasing Forgiveness is a prequel novella in the award-winning Tala Prophecy series.

About Chasing Forgiveness

When terror strikes, forever altering your life, it doesn’t ask permission or forgiveness.

Madeleine and Amélie’s quiet lives are ripped apart by a creature they never imagined could exist outside a horror story. Their mother is murdered, their father is missing, and the only safe haven is with a family full of secrets. But rescue comes at a price.

Ripped from the light of youth, the sisters are forced into the shadows—where they meet brothers Rafe and Rowan.

It’s not the time for infatuation or love, but the heart rarely listens to reason.

Now, the young women have decisions to make. Will they be able to achieve their unified goal of stopping evil, or will it consume them from the inside out?

They soon learn some choices can’t be undone.

Author’s Note: This novella can be read as a stand-alone.

Descent - cover
About Descent: Seventeen year old Ollie Miller is ready to leave all of her hurt feelings behind, but moving on seems impossible while living next door to her ex-best friend, Mateo. When curious earthquakes begin to shake and rip open the foundation of her small town, the ground becomes as unsteady as her feelings for him. When they fall, they fall hard…
Ollie’s disastrous attempt to save Mateo’s brother from falling into a curious chasm results in their descent into a cavernous wonderland. Ollie, Mateo, Jesse, and Alexis search for a way back home, and encounter a mysterious tribe of natives. Gabriel, the next in line to lead his people, is granted permission to guide them to the surface. On their treacherous journey, an overzealous elder threatens all of their lives, because he can’t risk them exposing his people, or the power he wields. The group discovers ancient secrets, unexpected truths, and uncharted feelings. Ollie must find a way out or risk being stuck in the caves forever—or worse, dead.
