Here it is—the cover for OMEGA CRAG. If you haven't already noticed, the cover art for each Zahra of the Uwharries series book is nearly identical. What makes them unique is the color of the title and the bottom left graphic, which are designed to reflect the individual book's story arc. Everything else stays the same to connect the overarching story arc of the five-book series. |

The release date for OMEGA CRAG, book 3 in the series, is May 17, 2024. Release events are in the works! |

WEST COAST INSPIRATION (BLOG) |

I spent spring break visiting my son on the West Coast. He took me to some incredibly inspiring venues. Not only was I changed—what adventure doesn't change a person?—but the Zahra of the Uwharries series was also impacted as a result. |

My youngest son lives on the West Coast. On a recent visit, he and I went to Cannon Beach where we took in the gorgeous backdrop of the iconic 1985 film The Goonies. We breathed in the salt air. We collected sand dollars. We took our shoes off and walked in the surf. Adventures like this refill the creative coffers. |
