After years of emceeing insipid singing competitions, TV personality Bryan Seafoam can’t wait to host “American President,” the world’s first reality show to elect a country’s Chief Executive. It’s the chance he’s waited a lifetime for—an opportunity to be a real journalist, unearthing skeletons and playing hardball with the top ten candidates.

But it doesn’t take long for the contestants to start digging up dirt of their own and throwing it back at him—literally, in the case of billionaire candidate Ronald Chump when he’s challenged to dig his own moat along the Mexican border. To make matters worse, Bryan’s producer pressures him to be nicer to the candidates, and his former crush, now an experienced political correspondent, shows up—and shows him up at every turn.

When a cheating scandal rocks the show, Bryan suspects it’s just the tip of a very underhanded iceberg. Will exposing the plot to wreck the most hysterical—er, historic—election of all time cost him everything? Or lead to an even bigger reward he never anticipated.

She has also worked in marketing, advertising, and public relations, where she found even more material for Stupid Humans. Now self-employed, she enjoys the contact sport of shopping at clearance sales, slamming on the brakes for yard sale signs, and wasting time on social media, where she finds inspiration for a sequel to Stupid Humans every day. She continues to write science fiction stories, some of which appear on her blog, Stellar Sarcasm.

River Storm

Before He Became a Legend, He Was Just a Boy Chasing Thunder.
Long before Lummy Tullos set foot on the battlefields of the Civil War, he sat wide-eyed at his uncle’s knee, listening to stories that burned brighter than any firelight. In River Storm, the prequel to the critically-acclaimed Tale of Two Colors Series, the legend of Silas Tullos takes shape—not in history books, but in blood, courage, and the muddy waters of the mighty Mississippi.
At eighteen, Silas is no stranger to danger. But when whispers of British agents stir old grudges and Creek warriors rise in resistance, he finds himself swept into a war that threatens everything he loves. Alongside the indomitable Colonel Sam Dale, Silas must navigate a landscape where loyalties shift like river currents, and every choice carves a mark on the soul.
As he fights to defend his home—and the people in it—Silas faces heartbreak, hardship, and a destiny that will carry him to the bustling and exotic town of New Orleans, where one of the most decisive battles in American history waits.
Told through the eyes of a young boy destined to become a hero himself, River Storm is a stirring tale of honor, sacrifice, and the roots of a family legacy that will echo through generations.

 

Assassin’s Witness

Justice rides a bullet in the shadow of betrayal.
The year is 1878, and the fight for Colorado’s Royal Gorge has ignited a war beyond the courts—a war fueled by greed, sabotage, and blood.
Railroad tycoon Steven Atkins will stop at nothing to control the silver-rich passage through the mountains. When lawsuits stall on paper, Atkins hires Pinkerton to secure his right of way against a rival’s claim. Behind the scenes Atkins engages El Anillo assassins for hire to eliminate rival investor Eli Chorus.
Bullets fly when Great Western Detective League operative Beau Longstreet thwarts one of El Anillo’s killers and becomes the only witness to a conspiracy with lethal reach. Hunted by professional assassins and haunted by the weight of what he knows, Longstreet must race against time to expose the truth and protect the woman he loves.
In a land where betrayal is currency and survival demands nerve and steel, The Great Western Detective League rides again. But this time, it’s not just justice on the line—it’s Longstreet’s life, and the soul of the West itself.
Assassin’s Witness is a bullet-fast tale of loyalty and vengeance, where every clue comes at a cost and the final verdict is delivered at the barrel of a gun.

 

Deadly Cadence

In the cutthroat world of competitive cycling, speed isn’t the only thing that kills.

For elite cyclists Logan Seacrest and Reilly Dawson, victory is everything—until their fiercest rival is found brutally murdered, her body impaled in a gruesome, ritualistic display. What should have been a season of triumph spirals into a chilling nightmare.

As they search for answers, Logan and Reilly uncover a dark undercurrent running through the cycling world—one where ambition turns deadly, secrets fester, and the past refuses to stay buried. But Julie’s murder is just the beginning. Something sinister is stalking them, watching their every move. The enigmatic Chief Byrd, the brooding Slade Erde, and his dangerously charming brother Jake all seem to know more than they’re saying. And then there’s the whisper of something else—an unseen force, a presence lurking just beyond the veil of reason.

With every race, the stakes grow higher. With every shadow, the danger closes in. Speed won’t save them. Skill won’t protect them. To survive, Logan and Reilly must face a truth more terrifying than death itself.
