I am an author, registered psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, and Bagua Martial Artist. Bagua, Tai Ji, and Xingyi are the three Taoist internal martial arts that inspired one of the threads that wove the creation of SCORPION, book one of The Myriad Series. My great great grandfather lived in the Himalayas with the mystics in the 1800's and I drew from his books and journals amazing stories and experiences for inspiration. I love how this story evolved and the characters who took the story to levels I had not even imagined. At its core it's the story of a young woman, Avery's empowerment as she learns how to develop and use qi to discover her own internal power.
The second book of the series is in development now. I'm even more excited for how Avery and her friends, Aiden, Raven and Blaine discover more ancient mystical secrets and unlock the global conspiracy that is headed by Avery's very powerful, very wealthy father.
