I develop relationships with authors, bloggers, media contacts and books themselves. I work best with authors who enjoy problem-solving, think outside the box, LOVE learning and believe passionately in the message of their book. I have worked with both debut and veteran authors from the ages of 17-87. Whether you have never ventured into the world of social media or on-line resources or you have a well-developed platform to jump-start your book, together we will work hand-in-hand to discover the tools that feel right for you. Each author and each book have a unique design and message and I will work with you to find your target audience.

"Monster" shows the intense training regime that the men of Dathomir endure in order to learn combat skills. Like his brother, Savage has trained as a warrior for his entire life. In the episode "Monster," Talzin helps Ventress select an apprentice of her own. She returns to her home planet, Dathomir, and reunites with the ancient force-wielder Mother Talzin (Barbra Goodson). Ventress barely survives the assassination attempt. Sidious is well aware of how the "Rule of Two" works, and orders Dooku to kill Ventress. In the episode "Nighsisters," Darth Sidious (Ian Abercrombie) realizes that Count Dooku's (Corey Burton) protege, Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), has grown too powerful in the force. Before he returns, we learn a little bit more about Maul's upbringing on the planet Dathomir. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the Blackthorn and Carstairs families come to London, Shadowhunters are met by an uptick in unexplainable demon attacks. Lucie and James have spent their childhood hearing about their mother and father’s battles in the Clockwork War, but they never thought that they would find themselves at war with an inexplicable enemy.

Until about 1860, very few questioned that the family as they knew it was an inevitable, innate social institution based on the authority of a male family head. An especially obvious example of this occurs in postulates concerning the historical development of family structures. Since its origins social anthropology has been a battlefield for political argument.
