Persephone May has been alone her entire life. Abandoned as an infant and dragged through the foster care system, she wants nothing more than to belong somewhere. To someone. However, Persephone is as strange as she is lonely. Unexplainable things happen when she’s around - changes in weather, inanimate objects taking flight - and those who seek to bring her into their family quickly cast her out. To cope, she never gets attached, never makes friends. And she certainly never dates.

The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish...bled. Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: His death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead.

Publisher's summary
A Contemporary Novel about Ancient, Elemental Magic
The Turn of Awakening is an engaging blend of magical possibilities, rekindled Celtic powers, and loyal sisterhood in a contemporary fantasy.
The Mists of Avalon for the modern age.
Awakening means power and certain peril.
The turbulent energy of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit await.
The Tinaru portals are opening…
When Bridget indulges her urge to break free from her monotonous existence for an afternoon, she unleashes the tragic memories that she had successfully numbed out.
As she relives her past, Bridget awakens to her family’s Celtic ancestry and a bloodline of empowered Matriarchs.
She must choose whether or not to embrace her prophesied potential to master the Craft of The Tinaru, an ancient skill to wield the elements of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit.
This magical world exists alongside her everyday reality but is invisible to the uninitiated who are known as the Kerku.
Will she return to her safe, mundane Kerku life or step into the magical and treacherous struggle to control the elements?
Can she find loyal companions along the Tinaru path who will help defend her against jealous, formidable saboteurs who threaten her existence?
Will she find love again and who is the Voice?
The series continues with The Turn of Seeking: Book Two of the Tinaru due out in 2025 followed by The Turn of Beginning: Book Three of the Tinaru.

Surrounded by old folks and even older artifacts at an auction, high school English teacher Shannon Parker never expects to find something that shocks her down to her very core: an ancient vase, complete with a beautiful painting of a goddess that looks just like her. And just as she's stealing away with her seriously suspicious purchase, she's magically thrown into the world of Partholon, where not only has she taken the place of Rhiannon, Goddess Incarnate and Epona's Chosen, but she's due to be married to a surly (but oh-so-handsome) High Shaman centaur, ClanFintan.

Both an ancient, "found" wisdom text and a sumptuous, epic novel, Gaia Codex reveals the hidden histories of a world long forgotten, the secret wisdom of an ancient lineage of women, the Priestesses of Astera. Set in a near future of impending societal and environmental collapse, the novel is a tale of hope and remembrance, as well as an inspired vision of humanity's origins and of the potential we hold for conscious evolution.

It was immediate for Roman. In 3,000 years, he'd never lost control of his emotions, or his heart. But the moment he laid eyes on Evelynne Farrow, he knew she was the woman who haunted his dreams. And everything changed. Everything. Evie Farrow has always loved a good vampire romance. In fact, she makes a living writing them. While sitting in a coffee shop and working on her next mega-hot book, Evie is approached by a tall, dark, and handsome man who could have been pulled directly from one of her novels.

The kids at school call Billy "Dragon Breath" for good reason. His breath is bad! It isn't the normal, morning-mouth bad; it's the hot-as-fire, "don't-you-dare-get-near-me" bad. And hearing "Dragon Breath" ringing in his ears, he constantly tries to cool his oral volcano. Trouble erupts when his hot breath sets off the fire sprinklers in the boys' restroom at school, and his parents learn that they've kept their secret for too long. Billy finally discovers the secret. His father was once a dragon!

What a great listen! So engaging and enjoyable.
What a great story. I loved how the author brought me along on such a delightful ride. It was such fun to identify with the main character who, unbeknownst to her, is part of an unseen world. Going from her stressful and a bit mundane life to constantly being surprised by the truth of her abilities was really enjoyable. I felt along for the ride and I liked it! Kilcoyne has a great turn of phrase. The detail in the storytelling felt just right. It was just the right amount of wonder, conflict and sexual tension. The narrator was outstanding. I wondered how they got Lauren Bacall to narrate a book - haha. She's that good. I see this is the first book of a planned series. I'm in!

Great story! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
I loved the story! I was able to join in on the ride and felt connected to Bridgid and her path to find herself. I could relate to parts of her story when she would learn something new about herself and her powers. I just loved listening to this book and can’t wait for the rest of the series!
