About the Book
When her magic brings assassins to her door, the mysterious metalsmith might be her only escape.
Secreted away nine years ago, Ffion Ainsley now leads a quiet life, hidden away in the mortal realm. Until her dormant magic begins to manifest.
When a charming and persistent shop owner tempts her from her solitude on the very day a hunter drags a dead wolf into town, Ffion’s magic erupts. With a brush of her fingers, the wolf awakens amid a crowd of villagers. Drawing the attention of assassins, Ffion narrowly escapes with a mysterious man who knows her true identity. Together they flee, returning to the Fae kingdom of Tremaene across the sea.
But her home isn’t as she remembers. The once lush land is barren. An army of rebels resides in a mountain stronghold. And a young high-priestess wields the crown. But things are far worse than they appear, and the truth will force Ffion to confront the past she’s long hidden from.
Will her untamed magic protect her? Does she have the courage to claim what’s rightfully hers? And will it be enough to save those she left behind nine years ago?
____

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
At the beginning of the pandemic, I started hosting gently-guided writing sprints on Zoom. Each sprint was two-hours long and I would give writers a new writing prompt every 15 minutes. Well, after two years of hosting these sprints, I had accumulated THOUSANDS of writing prompts. I decided I should do something with them. So I assembled and revised my favorite prompts and suddenly I had Pop Prompts: 200 Writing Prompts Inspired By Popular Music.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After getting to know M'Kenzee in her siblings' love stories (Books 1 and 2 in the series), I knew her journey needed to be a deeply emotional quest that both challenged and completed the strong, yet conflicted, young woman. Once I knew who her true love needed to be in Book 2, the story and unique format just happened. It's my most engaging character and most thought-provoking book to date.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
M'Kenzee was introduced as a secondary character in Book 1: Grocery Girl, and Bren was introduced in Book 2: In the Trenches. They have a complicated history, and while we see glimpses and subtle foreshadowing, we don't really get the gist of their relationship until the first chapter in Book 3: Three Times to Make Sure. Playing with the theme of threes for Book 3, and using the journals as a voice for a missing hero, this romance is full of heart-tugging emotion and a great chance to get to know the Davenport family even better!

Inferno! by Tom Gormley |

Inferno! by Tom Gormley
INFERNO! reveals the true story of the December 2021 Boulder County Marshall fire and the many events that can only be described as miracles that occur during and after. Interviews, local history and pictures convey the turmoil, tragedy and drama of this nightmare. These stories are intertwined with the police and fire dispatch broadcasts and public announcements to provide a timeline of the fire and its aftermath. With it, readers get a better understanding of how first responders attacked the fire, how the communities reacted, and how they are recovering. It also provides an overview of government responses and offers informational guidance on how to prepare for an emergency nearby.
The December 30, 2021, Marshall Fire outside of Boulder will be remembered as the most destructive inferno in Colorado history and one of the top fifteen worst fires in the western U.S. In a little over four hours, the fire, fueled by high velocity Chinook winds, burns 6,026 acres, consumes 1,084 structures, and causes over $2 billion in damage. Over 37,500 residents evacuate. And yet miraculously, only two persons are killed and eight injured during the fire. Scenes during the fire are surreal with one house engulfed in flames while its neighbor sits quietly next-door displaying Christmas lights. The fury of the wind decides what burns and what stands untouched.
This is the story of the inferno, the heroes who fight it, the area history, the fire recovery, and the many miracles that happen along the way.
