Three months ago, Mitzy didn't believe in magic. Now he's being hunted across the globe, carrying fragments of an artifact that may have already destroyed the world once. The Raven is closer than anyone to making it whole again.
Four books set in a vast world of ancient kingdoms and elemental magic — phoenixes, dragons, dwarves, krakens, and the fate-bound scepters that power it all. Begins as middle-grade adventure (ages 8–13) and matures across the series. Co-written with my child Blue Risho for books 1–3.
Twenty-somethings thrown into a thrilling world of ancient artifacts, secret societies, and dangerous magic. Fast-paced, funny where you don't expect it, with hard-earned friendships and a reluctant hero named Mitzy who just wanted to be left alone. Ideal for teens and up.
Drop your email and I'll send you Surviving Dinner and Other Occupational Hazards — a standalone novella set in the world of Stone of Amun-Ra. Coming May 2026. And keep up with the inside scoop from Ephie.
