The Turn of Awakening - A Contemporary Novel about Ancient, Elemental Magic (Book One of the Tinaru)

The Turn of Awakening is an engaging blend of magical possibilities, rekindled ancient powers, and loyal sisterhood in a contemporary fantasy.

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.
