  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  THE STORY OF THE MAIDEN OF BALVENIE

  The Raid of Balvenie and the Maiden Who Survived is the prequel to the adventures of Chloe and her friends in the Nephilim Redemption Series. This dramatic new time travel novella is set in the Highlands of medieval Scotland where a Scottish lass whose family feud with a neighboring clan brings disaster to her life, upending all she knows. This “story before the story” now brings new insight and understanding to the events which lead up to the opening scenes of Chloe’s Guardian.

  For established fans, characters that you’ve come to know in the trilogy appear with new clarity, with secrets revealed that have only been hinted at before. With this thrilling release, learn the untold story of what brings about that fateful night in Chloe's Guardian at Dunnottar Castle when the murderous and demon-possessed MacKay holds Horatius’ fate by the blade of his deadly sword.

  For those readers new to the series, you’ll meet both delightful and frightful players who you’ll see again in the adventures of Chloe, providing you with a head start on the exciting three-book series.

  Jean Dixson, a heartbroken but resilient Scottish lass, survives horrific tragedy but loses everyone dear to her. While she struggles to cope after a violent assault, imperious men assert they have the authority to decide her fate at the same time that scheming demons fight for the right to claim her soul. With the loss of faith and a hardened heart, she is cast into realms she no longer believes exist. Follow her as she encounters the Celestials who introduce her to the Unseen Realm, and discover how her choices impact not only her, but the many people—especially Chloe—who will come after her in the continuing saga.
