Destiny Has Been Re-Released in eBook and Print Formats


My debut novel, Destiny, has been re-released with a new cover designed by New Age Mama contributor Anne Hoelz as well as an interior overhaul with the help of my editor, Sheryl Policar. Grab your copy on Amazon!


Gabriella is a witch. The problem is, she doesn't remember. She repressed the memories of her powers years ago when her mother was murdered. Now, the warlock who was responsible for her mother's death has set his sights on Gabriella. He is determined to use her fear to turn her to the dark side of magick…even if it kills her. Her mother's spirit is reaching out to warn her, but even that she pushes away. Desperate to save her daughter, the spirit finds a male witch–one that just happens to be in love with Gabriella. Darron is more than willing to help but the two young witches will have way more to battle than just an evil warlock. There are overbearing jocks and petty rich girls who get tempers flaring and often set Gabrielle and Darron at odds.

There is more to the story than Gabrielle and Darron could even imagine. There are terrible secrets to be revealed, battles to be waged, and lives will be lost. Only after Gabrielle and Darron both come to terms with who they really are and open themselves up to the true meaning of magick, can they have any hope of fulfilling their destiny.

Exploring Me (Lightworker Series Book 2) by Jamie White



Months after learning the truth about herself, and being betrayed by someone she trusted, Courtney Thompson is a changed person. Nearly crippled by anxiety and bitterness, she struggles to adjust to college life. She is ashamed of the person she’s become, and tries to hide it from her boyfriend, Sam. 

To deal, she loses herself in the one thing that can make her forget it all: acting. While preparing for an upcoming production, the male lead asks her to help him run lines. Although thrilled with the chance to get onstage in some way, his presence unnerves her. There’s something about him that draws her attention and confuses her. 

Now struggling with guilt over her potential attraction to him, this stranger leads Courtney to confront the past she once wanted a connection to, but she’s now running from. What happens next will change everything.


My Thoughts


In Exploring Me, Book 2 of the Lightworker Series, Courtney Thompson is trying to move on with her life after discovering she was adopted and that her biological parents had a rather unconventional history.  Thinking she killed her cousin in self-defense, she distances herself from her adoptive family. Instead, she explores the world her real parents came from with less than stellar results. Even worse, it turns out her enemy isn't dead after all, and they are using someone else Courtney loves as leverage to get to her. This second book leaves you hanging with Courtney on the verge of a psychic break after going through horrors no young girl should have to experience.

The second book is the Lightworker Series is just as enthralling as the first. It delves deeper into the secrets of Courtney's past and brings to light horrible truths that will push her to the edge.  I'm ready to dive into Book 3, Rebuilding Me. I am cheering Courtney on as she discovers into the unknown world of the paranormal and tries to find her place in it.
