The Roads We Wander

We never know where a road will lead until we take it.

Maybe we set out with a plan, or maybe the journey is unexpected. Either way, it’s rarely a clear, straight path to the end.

A gift can become a burden. A search for freedom can lead to captivity. A murder thought long forgotten can reach across decades. And a devastating trek through the African bushveld can change everything.

These are just some of the unplanned paths travelled in The Roads We Wander. Through stories of fantasy, mythology, mystery, history, and tragedy, this collection explores the roads we take, the losses we carry, and the hope we find along the way.

We may not know where the road will lead, but we also never know what we might miss out on if we don’t take the first step.

Where will your road lead?

Over two centuries later, siblings Emily and Cullen Ashe know none of this. Times have changed. The once inseparable Ashe family is shattered once more for a reason shrouded in secrecy. But not all secrets can stay buried. When investigative journalist Devin Carter shows up on their doorstep, Emily and Cullen find themselves drawn into a cover-up beyond their wildest dreams.

Finally, they have a chance to find answers.

But how far are they willing to go to get them?

Frost to the Flames

Work-in-Progress

After four years apart, it took a war to reunite them.

Aeric Tyrsson and Iselív Alvarsdóttir know they belong together. Unfortunately, their families don’t agree. In an effort to end their childish romance, Aeric is banished to Ísland and forced to become the killer he never wanted to be.

Stuck in Noregr, Iselív faces an arranged marriage that her father deems appropriate. Time is running out before the betrothal is set, and Aeric still has two years of his banishment left. Her fate seems inevitable.

Until a tyrant kills the King of Noregr, and all warriors are called home to choose a side.

Reunited, Aeric and Iselív have little time to celebrate. Noregr is torn between the pagan tyrant Ottar Valdainsson and the true heir, Olaf Haraldsson. With war looming on the horizon, Aeric and Iselív must take their place on their side of history to save Noregr from a rule of hatred.

The cost of war is always high. Will the price of this one be their future?
