Gifts and Consequences

"Ah, it still has that new-book smell!"

Today was such a big day for me, I just have to take a minute for shameless self promotion.

I know it was a great day in my writing career because the release of the Hatter paperback on Amazon was NOT the big news of the day.  The highlight was the electronic release of my third book: Gifts and Consequences.

Cover by Jodie Coleman

Gifts and Consequences is a departure from the Young Adult Fantasy genre in which I wrote Jabberwocky and Hatter.  It is Contemporary Fiction with Romantic elements.  So why not just call it Romance?  Apart from the ridicule I would face at the fire station, there is so much more to it than a love story.  This is a book I can proudly recommend to any reader--man or woman.

Here's the blurb: 

When multi-millionaire Jonathan Wheeler’s wife contracts a debilitating illness, it transforms both of their lives. No longer concerned with business and finance, Jonathan turns his attention to giving. But no gift comes without a price, and those unwilling to pay the price learn that no gift comes without a consequence.

The recipients of these gifts vary as greatly as the terms of Jonathan’s unusual contracts. From the high school Senior who gets sold-out concert tickets, and the food addict who receives tuition to a weight loss program, to the man who is given the chance to walk to the ends of the earth to save his true love’s life.

Each accepts the gift with the understanding that there’s always a catch, and anyone who agrees to Jonathan’s terms risks losing even more than they stand to gain.

Gifts and Consequences is a tragic love story full of beauty and heartbreak and hope.


While there is no graphic sex or violence, the story contains adult themes, as opposed the the Young Adult books I've written previously.
