A War and A Wedding: The Promise

There will be A WAR.
There will be A WEDDING.
Lines will be drawn ...
For seventeen-year-old Ellyce Jensen, the world is spiraling out of control.
The week before her birthday, her father disappears. Then, by accident, she finds a secret room in his closet. But she can't tell anyone, including her best friend, Benson Monroe, because he's now her ex-boyfriend. He's also dating her nemesis, Sydney Parker. And if that wasn't enough, a solar flare erupts, plunging the entire world into darkness and chaos.
As Ellyce uncovers the truth about Thomas' life, she discovers the ancient prophecies and the stories of the seven realms he wrote about are true, and a war is coming. With no time to lose, Ellyce will have to choose which kingdom she's willing to serve as she prepares to battle against the people she thinks she can trust—and the supernatural forces trying to stop her.

I grew up in a tiny, magical town in Illinois—total population: 800. In 2014, I brought my love of books, a Midwest hankering for a good Horseshoe Sandwich (also known as fat-on-a-plate), and Southern Sweet Tea to sunny SoCal.
About an hour north of Los Angeles, I live with my husband, Craig, two of our three kids, and our sweet, slightly neurotic, standard poodle, Eisley. My oldest daughter flies the friendly skies, so if you see a super cute flight attendant named, Elyssa, be sure to say, hello!
When I'm not chasing Eisley, or chauffeuring my teens around town, I'm writing.
