Elementary Magic: Relic Hunter Book 1

Fantastic possibilities and terrible consequences.
When her job interview goes down in flames, archaeologist Dr. Arienne Cerasola makes a desperate decision to get her life back on track. Returning to the thing that wrecked her life in the first place isn't rational, but magic is the only option she has.
To find a legendary healing tree and save her friends, Ari must outsmart magic practitioners who are way more talented and prepared than she is. Can she beat the competition to the prize, or is another magical disaster inevitable?

Books should be an escape—an invitation to enter another world, a place to meet unforgettable characters, and immersive enough to make you forget your daily life and enjoy the journey.
I write stories that blend adventure, mythology, and a touch of flirty, clean romance—often with a dash of history shaping the worlds my characters navigate. Whether uncovering ancient magic, chasing long-lost artifacts or unraveling forgotten legends, my love of history and mythology always finds its way into my books.
I also have a soft spot for mysteries with a supernatural flair. One of my series follows a psychic determined to fix bad karma—one crime at a time. And if you like epic battles of light versus dark, I've started work on my new series, exploring celestial intrigue, fate, and the fine line between good and evil.
My writing journey started with an elderly dog who had no interest in summer gardening. To keep her company, I set up my laptop and wrote Elementary Magic, reading it aloud as she listened (and seemed to approve). Since taking the leap into publishing, I haven't stopped writing, constantly creating new worlds and characters for readers to discover.
