The Fated Chronicles Books 1-3 (A Contemporary Portal Fantasy‪)‬

The Fated Chronicles is for those who feel lost and are searching for your real home and family in this world. And that even with all the magic and mayhem and wonderous discoveries, it is truth that is the most powerful weapon. The Fated Chronicles loosely tells the story of my youth. I'm someone who didn't have the "traditional" upbringing of a stable, happy home. I spent most of my childhood protecting my siblings and friends and struggling just to survive each day. 

Unfortunately, I know far too many others who also lived a fight for survival kind of life and this story is for everyone who has ever had this struggle but never stopped fighting! And over time with much toil and trouble, were able to rise above the circumstance they were handed and find their true home and family in this world. 

This story is dedicated to every single one of you. I see you. I see the struggle you've survived. 

And even if you're still struggling, like me, to fully overcome a past thrust upon you -- you are still here. Still breathing. Still fighting. So, good on you! And please never give up. Because I guarantee you, whether you know it or not, there are people in this world grateful you exist.

I really hope you enjoy reading this series as much as I did, writing it. 

And even though I do not like this part, we live in a conflicted world. So, I will warn you right now that this is an 11 book series that sees our characters age... they are just turning 13 when it starts and are 17 when it's ending – like in that one really popular series you might have heard of, that I'm not allowed to mention here lol, that rhymes with marry motter. 

This means some romance-- age-appropriate romances. However, I am a very love is love person, so, yes, there are gay couplings. It's a beautiful storyline one reader literally bawled her way through. And I admit, I bawled my way through writing it. There's one scene later in the series that was so emotional to write, and meant so much to me, I had to take a break for a few days before I could keep writing.

And that scene is dedicated not just to readers struggling with identity, but struggling with finding acceptance of any kind. Because, really, it's all above finding our true loves and soulmates to travel through this life with.

I think these words from fans sum it up nicely: 

"This sweeping complex series of 11 books is riveting, rollicking and ultimately very satisfying. Following the lives of 3 young children in particular whose identities and relationships (like so many others in this saga) are not what they initially appear to be, these page-turners are packed with Magic, Pathos, Teenage Angst, Humor, Anticipation, Conspiracy, War, Peace, Bucolic Love, Time Travel... everything but the kitchen sink!

I picked up Book 1 on a Friday night and binge read all 11 by Tuesday morning! If you ever thought you were somehow "Special," or ever wanted to "Save the World," these books are for YOU.

Totally engaging and completely believable, the emotional roller coaster keeps the reader invested in each intricate convoluted detail while orchestrating its ultimate message of Love, with a few lessons in Morality along the way. So many comparisons to Past, Present and Future situations are readily apparent. So snuggle up on a rainy day and embark on a new adventure... I can promise you a surprise around every corner and some serious Fun!"
