Rosinanti (The Rosinanti Series Book 1)
The Rosinanti Dragons are no more. Since their extinction nearly one thousand years ago these primal powerhouses have fallen into the obscurity of history’s forgotten lore. In that time, humans have come to dominate the world of Terra, peacefully ignorant to one horrifying truth: ancient evil stirs around them, waiting to reclaim its lost world.
For Valentean Burai, animus warrior of the kingdom of Kackritta, the details surrounding humanity’s victory over the Rosinanti are more than just a history lesson. The long-buried mysteries of this archaic conflict may hold the answers that he has so desperately sought regarding his own past.
As the awful truth of the Rosinanti’s supposed demise comes to light, Valentean must stand together with Seraphina, a magically gifted princess, to embark upon a mission to maintain order and light throughout Terra. Only together can these two lifelong friends face down the resurgence of the Rosinanti legacy, and combat the greatest threat their world has ever known.
COMPLETED YA Series by Kevin J. Kessler
When the dark truth of the Rosinanti comes to light, Valentean & Princess Seraphina must face down their resurgence

The Anti-Cinderella Takes London
Falling in love with a prince wasn’t something I planned . . .
When I reconnected with the first guy I ever kissed, I never dreamed I’d end up moving to England to be closer to him. But Nicky and I are in love, and living together was the next logical step.
If I thought dating royalty was a tough gig when I was living in the USA, I’m learning that it’s even more challenging now that I’m in London. Every move I make, every word I say, is under the microscope. Becoming part of Nicky’s family while staying true to who I am isn’t easy.
Nicky makes everything worthwhile. The hours when we’re alone together are paradise. And if the press and the pressure are the price I have to pay for him . . . I’ll choose Nicky, every single time.
After all, London’s just another town. Right?

Breaking the rules for the right reasons
My next book is coming out on December 1st, but it isn’t a romance. I’ve told my kids stories for years, and they especially enjoy the ones I make up for them. On career day last year, I went into my kids’ classrooms to read a story I’d written about a family of dragons. This month I went back with Ragel’s Brood printed and ready for release.
I’ve always loved fantasy stories, but one thing that always bothered me about the genre was why an intelligent apex predator like a dragon would be willing to carry its prey around on its back. It never made sense to me, so I wrote my story from the dragon’s point of view. Humans were prey until one young dragon takes one for a pet.
The book is classified as middle-grade, which means the target audience is between eight and thirteen years old. My son is nine and functioned as my editor, circling words he didn’t know and helping me craft the plot of the story. As a result, this is not a typical middle-grade chapter book.
The story alternates the point-of-view between Ragel, the father dragon, and King Thorn, the greedy human king who wants the gold underneath the dragon’s cave. The theme of the story is that both Ragel and King Thorn are presented with evidence that the other species are more than mere animals. King Thorn ignores the evidence and suffers the consequences, while Ragel comes to term with his daughter’s pet two-leg (human) speaking the dragon language.
When I was researching this book, I found many resources on writing middle-grade fiction. Some suggested a focus on action as opposed to introspection, others had a laundry list of common sense things to avoid doing. But all of the advice assumed that the story would focus on the point of view of human children.
So I broke the rules. The human king is the bad guy and the dragons are the good guys. My dragons eat four-legged prey and fight a war with humans. I spend part of the book with the young dragonlings asking endless questions about their world while Ragel patiently explains what he had been taught. And in the end, Ragel comes to term with his dragonlings affection for the odd pet, leaving the door open for more to come.
Right now the book is being analyzed for inclusion in elementary reading curriculum. The kids I gave the book to in my kids’ school have read it and given me rave reviews when I’m there. My son and I have two more stories planned, Naahla’s Pet and Dragon’s Fall, for release early next year.

Once upon a time, not that long ago, I had just about everything I ever wanted. I was a star football player at one of the best colleges in the country, and I had the girl I’d always loved by my side. The promise of a future most guys can only dream about was close enough to touch.
But if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that life is unpredictable. One twist can change it all, and suddenly, I’m alone. Even football, the one constant in all the insanity, somehow isn’t enough anymore, because without her, everything else is empty. Meaningless.
I’ve got one shot left. One more chance to win her heart. We’re not kids now, and I know that being good enough for Quinn isn’t some game I can fake my way through. She’s more than the prize; she’s my reason for living. The world only makes sense when we’re together.
And this time, I’m going to do whatever it takes to give us our happy ending.
