The Exiled Island

The Awakening Series, Book One | YA Fantasy
Tracy Rawlings thought she had nothing going for her. Junior high was rough, her family didn’t understand, and her talents left much to be desired. Until she woke up on an island hidden by exile, however, Tracy didn’t know where rock bottom really was. Dragons, corruption, and a long history of slavery meet her there. By searching her soul and finding her voice, Tracy is able to join together with the island’s unicorn rulers in a quest for truth and freedom. But, will she ever find her way back home?
The Great Awakening

The Awakening Series, Book Two | YA Fantasy
Tracy never really trusted Starfire. She was young (for a unicorn), only confident sometimes, and wielded the dangerous gift of controlling fire. No one really respected her leadership.
Except Vince, but he didn’t always think things through.
Maybe Starfire had a good heart, but the infamous dragon tyrant, Tidus, was really running the show. Or was he?
With her mysterious ability to read the old prophecies, Tracy searches for answers, wanting to take matters into her own hands. But, behind everything, a greater force is at work; an ally Tracy never expected.
Fifteen Years

Young Adult Fiction
Robin’s home wasn’t technically “broken.” He’d always lived in the same house, with the same parents, in the same town. So had Diana Andes, but she didn’t understand what made their lives so different. Church kids thought things were simple.
She didn’t know that alcohol, money troubles, and depression made things complicated. Maybe that’s why Robin liked her so much.
When Diana’s unplanned pregnancy shocks the town, Robin seeks an escape. Throughout the years of running, the Andes family slowly shows him how complicated and powerful the love of Christ can be, and how it can fix the most broken of things.
