An age of peaceful exploration has ended.

With the discovery of the Leyra’an, the centuries-old dream of meeting an intelligent, nonhuman species has finally come true. But that dream becomes a disturbing enigma when the Leyra’an prove to be more than just humanoid. They are like us to a degree that cannot be explained by chance alone. The search for an answer to this mystery will reveal a universe stranger and more dangerous than anyone could have imagined, and expose both Humanity and the Leyra’an to the threat of extinction.

For better or worse, that search has begun.

A “grim” urban fantasy series full of mythology, dark humor, and paranormal romance!

It’s a hard-knock afterlife…

Lana Harvey is a reaper, and a lousy one at that. She resides in Limbo City, the modern capital of the collective afterlives, where she likes to stick it to the man (the legendary Grim Reaper himself) by harvesting the bare minimum of souls required of her. She’d much rather be hanging out with Gabriel, her favorite archangel, at Purgatory Lounge. But when a shocking promotion falls in her lap, Lana learns something that could unravel the very fabric of Eternity. If the job isn’t completed, there could be some real hell to pay.

If you love urban fantasy steeped in mythology, dark humor, and paranormal romance, then buckle up, buttercup! You’re in for one hell of a ride…

This series is complete at 7 books (plus a short story collection and illustrated guide) but you can catch up with Lana and the gang in LIFE AFTER DEATH, book one of the RETURN TO LIMBO CITY spin-off series!

A changeling boy trapped in the mortal world is unaware of a great destiny looming over his head. But the sudden death of his grandmother changes everything . . .

Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Terry Pratchett, Sue Bentley, Impossible Creatures and The Spiderwick Chronicles.

IN THIS FIVE-BOOK BOX SET:

BOOK 1: ISLE OF WINDS
Robin Fellows lives a perfectly ordinary life for a twelve-year-old boy. But when his grandmother suddenly dies, a long-lost relative whisks him away to Erlking Hall, a mysterious estate in the solitary countryside. There he discovers he is a Changeling tied to the magical world of the Fae and the house is a gateway to the Fae’s homeland, the Netherworlde, currently caught in a terrible war. Now Robin must adjust to his strange new reality while protecting himself from a four-thousand-year-old prophecy that will drag him straight into battle.

BOOK 2: THE DROWNED TOMB
Robin awaits further training after his previous tutor Lady Eris was revealed to be an agent of the enemy, Strife. Robin is assigned a new mentor to continue his magical learning — her job is to teach Robin in the art of water magic. But before he can make any progress, he is kidnapped by Strife, who suppresses Robin’s magic, leaving him vulnerable. With no escape in sight, Robin must rely on every ounce of his resilience if he stands any chance of surviving and regaining his power.

BOOK 3: CHAINS OF GAIA
Something dark and dangerous stirs deep in the Netherworlde. A violent, primal power has awoken from its slumber after five hundred years, spreading destruction in its wake and leaving no survivors. Robin may be the only one who can put an end to its bloodshed. He and his friends must navigate the deep secrets of the legendary woods, fighting to save its inhabitants and searching for the source of the monster’s power. Because if the power falls into the wrong hands, it would be catastrophic for both the Fae and human world.

BOOK 4: THE GLASSFIRE SERPENT PART I: EMBERS
When Robin and his fellow Fae, Jackalope, take a trip to London, it triggers a series of events that place them in deadly peril. They uncover many magical items from the Fae world, belonging to a human who shouldn’t have this knowledge. Their journey in the human world only grows more dangerous as the threat of Lady Eris is ever present. And in a world with so many innocents, oblivious to the war raging on around them, Robin must make sure they are not caught in the crossfire.

BOOK 5: THE GLASSFIRE SERPENT PART II: ASHES
The unstoppable forces of Lady Eris are tracking Robin’s every step. He sets out to discover the truth behind the Glassfire Serpent, an ancient machine that holds the power to find his missing friends. But the clock is ticking, and the Glassfire Serpent is the only way they can gain access to their enemy’s city and save his friends before it’s too late. And if Robin hopes to defeat the enemy, he will need to make a choice between his friends and his destiny . . .

Includes Destiny, Pieces, and Secrets.

For a relic of war, death is my inevitable release.

Most people can’t kill without regret, but I don’t have that luxury. I am a tank-created nu-human, and my sole purpose hinges on the whims of my tyrannical maniac creator. Town annihilations to political assassinations—I never disobey.

Until I want more.

When I escape beyond the realm of my former master, my only goal is safety—freedom—a life I always wanted. I should have known my creator would send deadly pursuers. He wants to remind me of what I’m never fated to have.

Then destiny tempts me with the unexpected.

When a dragon—a creature said to be long extinct—offers me a chance at true freedom from my former master’s control, I don’t know what to believe. In my line of work, trust kills. But something is different about this creature….

With nothing to lose, I agree to his terms. Now, I wait. Will he give me the freedom I crave, or did I seal my fate?

EXPERIMENTAL HEART OMNIBUS 1 is the first three books in the Experimental Heart epic dystopian contemporary fantasy series. If you love strong willed heroines overcoming the torment of their past, fate vs choice, and a dash of slow burn romance, dive into the world of Lumaraeon today!

It’s the year 2125, and the gritty metropolis of Los Angeles is more divided than ever.

South of Sunset, Oleander Briggs exists in a drab reality of the Seventh Industrial Revolution and the demise of social media, where his monotonous life consists of working the factory assembly line for Fleur Industries—a mysterious company that sells flowers preserved in gold. His future, like so many of his generation, is bleak, but Oleander dreams of more.

When he unexpectedly catches the attention of Mr. Fleur—Fleur Industries’ elusive owner—his luck changes as he’s offered a job to work directly with the Fleur family at their palatial estate, North of Sunset. There, he encounters eccentric characters, extravagant wealth, and youthful beauty the likes of which he has never seen. The Fleur family may be his ticket to a better life—but at what cost?

North of Sunset asks how we exist in a world where one is forced to choose between living in luxury or the luxury of living.
