The Last Call Series

BOOK 1: A Slice of Sky: was a finalist for a 2025 Christy Award!

A woman who has achieved fame and fortune witnesses a miracle that makes her want to discover a purpose beyond herself. Will she risk everything to find it? 

Cashlin leads a charmed life as one of the twenty Patrons of Regalia. Her job is to show off new fashion created especially for her. The Favored—the consumers—vote on their favorites, and they are put into production. Cashlin is so good at her job that she’s been the Premier Patron for three quarters in a row. Besides the status, she gets the adulation of the Favored, and the best and biggest house—at least until the creative process starts over again.

The Cycle of Regalia is never ending. No one has ever tested the system… Until Cashlin sees a miracle that makes her wonder if there’s something more to life than the newest fashion to promote; something deep and meaningful, a purpose beyond herself. A higher purpose serving a higher power.

Her revelation, her curiosity, and her bold actions are not met without conflict, yet they change Regalia forever.

 
 

BOOK 2: A Count of Courage

Discouragement has drowned out hope. But it is no match against the power and love of the Keeper!

Cashlin and her friends survived the Swirling Desert and find themselves in a strange society called Legalis. It’s far different from artistic Regalia. For in Legalis laws rule and the hourly Counts keep its populace under control. Conformity is required and individuality is forbidden among the Masses. There is no joy in Legalis, no creativity, no encouragement to go after your dreams—no encouragement to dream at all. Presiding over the Masses is the ominous Judge, whose looming presence intimidates, and whose barbaric punishments dampen all hope.

Yet hope is merely sleeping. For the Keeper is at work. He will not allow evil to win! He and his supporters find ways to ignite hardened hearts and inspire those who have long ago surrendered any hope of love and purpose. With the Keeper’s help, these new followers are forever changed—and forever change Legalis.

A Count of Courage is a direct challenge to the hopelessness that creeps into everyday life. It’s not just fiction, it’s a rebellion against conformity, fear, and all those joyless “Counts” we meet in real life. The Keeper whispers,  “Hope still breathes”: a statement that manages to be both poetic and defiant.

Let A Count of Courage stir your soul, challenge your mind, and awaken that quiet, trembling courage inside.

Five societies that don’t know each other exist.

Different cultures. Different priorities. Different rules. One shared destiny.
