Rise of the Anointed Series
Coming Spring '24
Launch
Sixteen-year-olds Demarcus Bartlett and Lily Beausoliel are among a select group of youth invited to an exclusive, all-expenses-paid conference at social media giant Alturas’ California headquarters.
Coming Spring '24
Fractures
The Anointed are back. Life hasn’t been the same since Alturas’s Launch Conference. There’s not much precedent on living a normal life when your best friends all are teenagers with secret superpowers.
Coming Spring '24
Anointed
The Anointed are fractured. After fighting superpowered teens and a dark spiritual force in San Francisco, they are in full retreat.
Is there a better way to grab the attention of teens than to mix social media, super powers, celebrities, and some rocking parties together into a giant conspiracy?
I honestly don’t think so, and for the first time since I read The Chronicles of Narnia, I found myself wanting to be sucked into this book, trials and all!

Characterization Matters – A Review of Toy Story 4
You can't go back. Sequels have diminishing returns. Don't ruin a good thing. There was a lot of hand-wringing when Pixar announced that they were doing a Toy Story 4. How could they? It seemed they had done the impossible already: wrap up a beloved series in a...
