Goodreads reviews
“A Gift to the Sentinel”
short story by K.A. Lyonns
“Forged by storm and lonely watch, the bond of Lighthouse and Keeper is steadfast. But when a lone survivor washes up, it becomes clear the Keeper’s heart has room for more. The Lighthouse learns a new emotion —​ jealousy."
A Historical Romance story in...
“Lighthouse”
A collaborative anthology
“The Lighthouse anthology was conceived at a Queensland Writers Centre event for genre fiction, GenreCon in 2019. The intrepid souls, who joked over a concept at dinner, found the idea had taken root overnight. So 15 writers from different genres accepted the invitation to write a short story around the theme of Lighthouses. From concept to actual published book took up most of 2020, a very challenging year in so many other ways.
Hopefully you'll enjoy my small contribution, along with paranormal, science fiction, romance and historical stories.”
“ From sci-fi and fantasy to romance and crime - and everything in between - ​Lighthouse features exciting voices from emerging and established Australian writers.​ ”

A Regency Paranormal Romance
“The Sailor's Lass”
Book 2 of  “The Bladewood Legacy”
“It is 1811, the British navy rules supreme in the chilly waters off France, but Lieutenant Arthur Bladewood is far from his ship on a mission for his King and Country. Betrayed and shot, he escapes only to collapse within sight of rescue. Lady Susanna Greyson, half-English and barely tolerated landowner of the local chateau literally stumbles across his unconscious body as she hurries ahead of an approaching storm. Both her moral conscience and her strange prescient senses compel her to take him into her home.

As Arthur slowly recovers he finds himself entrapped not only by his injury but by a completely irrational attraction to his dark-haired bossy hostess, who is immune to both his arguments and charms. As the French scour the countryside for him he is desperate to remove both himself and the danger to her household.
​
Susanna has been raised to hide from the outside world, to be distrustful of coincidence and strangers. Despite the risk, the half-hidden messages from her dreams compel her to help the devastatingly handsome sailor from a country to which she must never return. As the net closes in, she realises she must choose; either leave him to his fate or take a terrifying plunge and abandon her refuge.

Unbeknownst to either, the secret arcane order of the Guild is also seeking them, but so are the Guild’s enemies. Arthur and Susanna are unwitting pawns in a bigger game, where family ties and trust will be pitted against secrets.
