Sept 13, 2023 My dear readers, I know it has been a long time since I last updated this book. I do plan on finishing Rosalie and Johnathan's story soon. As faithful readers, I owe all of you an explanation on why I haven't updated for so long. I was diagnosed with aggressive HER2+ breast cancer and have been going through treatments - chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. I'm nearly done with my treatments, but it has been a difficult time. I've been extremely sick and unable to write while treatments were ongoing. I'm still dealing with the after effects of my treatments (hair loss, vision issues, neuropathy in my hands and feet, weakness, fatigue, brain fog), but I have to get my life back in order, and one of those ways is for me to start writing again. To all of my readers, please make sure you get yourself checked for breast cancer via your yearly mammogram. Updates will be posted starting September 16th. Thank you!!! ************ When Rosalie Elisabeth Jenkins was 13, she met a young man on the subway in a most unusual way - he accidently hit her in the face with his backpack. That meeting, as short as it was, made a lasting impression on the young girl. Now, as a 19 year old woman with a past she would just as soon forget, they have met again under serendipitous circumstances. Johnathan Michael Brandon was the young man that made the lasting impression on Rosalie. As a human, she shouldn't have affected him at all, but his wolf insisted they were mates. Now they have met again and John can finally reject her and get on with the unpleasant business of finding a chosen mate to be the Luna of the Southern Crescent Moon Pack. But fate has other ideas. John and Rosie's story is just beginning. Set in present day Atlanta, Georgia, The Fire and the Phoenix follows John and Rosalie's journey of love, growth and redemption.
