Pier Lights
Caroline was a relevé away from becoming prima ballerina when, partly due to her own actions, she was injured enough to end her ballet career. With a strong determination, along with some help and hindrance from her antisocial tendencies, Caroline returns to her beloved Folly Beach, finds a grittier dancing job, and makes up her mind to land on top. Due to a disfiguring facial scar, Dio hides away on his South Carolina farm during the day, where keeping watch over his aging and mentally failing mother strains his time and energy. Venturing into Charleston only for his night job in a strip club allows him to keep needed contact with others while maintaining distance. When the two collide amid the glow of the lights from the pier, their personal scars push them away, and pull them in, like the ebb and flow of the Atlantic. Excerpts: The Beginning | Caroline watches Dio from a distance | "a sensual story replete with poetic wordplay and vibrant imagery" Muddy Rose Reviews "the characters held me spellbound. I've not read anything like this--it's truly a unique story" Author Celia Yeary" BUY LINKS BN | Kobo | Amazon | Smashwords | Indiebound | Leana's Books and More | Also at iTunes, Books-A-Million, and from your local indie store by order. |

Shadowed Lights
Delaney Griffin welcomed her sister’s large family into her small home when they were displaced by Hurricane Sandy. With five noisy kids and an overbearing brother-in-law threatening her sanity, Delaney spends much of her free time cleaning up the wildlife refuge and helping at the local food bank. Still, the lack of privacy, along with having no space to dance, her only passionate release, causes her debilitating social anxiety to escalate. Eli Forrester has come from small town Indiana to Barnegat, New Jersey with his company to help restore the coast. A high-rise worker who loves new people and new places, he fears nothing, except water. When he accidentally kicks one of the sea critters Delaney is trying to help rescue, Eli is drawn to the quiet New Jersey girl. Unwilling to take her cues to leave her alone, he is alternately put off and turned on by her odd behavior. Under shadow of devastation, fear, and forced separation, Delaney and Eli search for their own rescue light. Excerpts: Gone Fishing | Reading in a Bar | Red Tape | "The author creates characters the reader cannot help but love. Their playful banter thrown in with the in depth look into social anxiety is amusing and intriguing at the same time. The story is fun, sensual, and you won’t want to put it down."
