The Earthburst Saga begins with the international bestseller and Kindle Unlimited All-Star title, Last Man Standing:

I wasn’t supposed to survive.

The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead.

I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth.

I’m alone. I’m stranded. I’m desperate.

But I’m alive.

The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don’t think they’re finished yet.

Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I’m not just fighting for my own life.

I have to protect my family — whatever it takes.

And as long as I’m breathing, this isn’t over.

Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake:

They left the wrong man standing…

Myth and legend come to life in Dark Age Wales …

Cold My Heart: Love. Magic. Faith. By the autumn of 537 AD, all who are loyal to King Arthur have retreated to a small parcel of land in north Wales. They are surrounded on all sides, heavily outnumbered, and facing near certain defeat. But Myrddin and Nell, two of the king’s companions, have a secret that neither has ever been able to face: each has seen that on a cold and snowy day in December, Saxon soldiers sent by Modred will ambush and kill King Arthur. And together, they must decide what they are willing to do, and to sacrifice, to avert that fate.

Cold My Heart in this volume includes three novels published separately elsewhere: Cold My Heart, The Oaken Door, and Of Men and Dragons.

The Last Pendragon: Rhiann knows that demons walk the night. She has been taught to fear them. But from the moment Cade is dragged before her father’s throne, beaten and having lost all of his men to her father’s treachery, he stirs something inside her that she has never felt before. When Cade is revealed to be not only Arthur’s heir but touched by the sidhe, Rhiann must choose between the life she left behind and the one before her–and how much she is willing to risk to follow her heart.

The Last Pendragon in this volume consists of three novels published separately elsewhere: The Last Pendragon, The Pendragon’s Blade, and Song of the Pendragon.

Cold My Heart and The Last Pendragon are the first books in two different series set in Dark Age Wales!

A small Dublin pub …

… holds the key to humanity’s survival.

Who will learn its secret?


Half vampire, half fae, Phoenix is an abomination in the eyes of the supernatural community. Screw them! She’s more than happy to play human in the cosy Irish pub she calls home.

At least until an annoying werewolf comes knocking.

Because Phoenix may be done with the supernatural world, but it’s not quite done with her.

Her birth has triggered a prophecy, and now the clock is ticking. Humanity will be the first to suffer for her existence.

Everything, and everyone, she loves is in danger, and as the body count rises Phoenix must learn to embrace the darkest parts of herself.

Or lose it all.

If you like gripping urban fantasy with some serious attitude, you’ll love this debut novel from Irish author L.M. Hatchell.

Fate can hold a grudge.

For fugitives of the Regime, Sela Tyron and Jon Veradin, the evidence is undeniable. Their escape into the Reaches meant a chance at a new life together without looking over their shoulders. However, in this savage, hardscrabble region, the pair quickly find themselves targeted by scheming alien gangsters and cybernetically-enhanced Guild agents. What else could go wrong?

She was supposed to be dead. That was the plan anyway.

When a mysterious young woman with strange abilities wakes up as a prisoner of vicious Zenti pirates, a miraculous resurrection is the least of her concerns. Facing a host of new dangers, she needs to escape and find her brother. Can she trust a self-confessed spy to help or does he have an agenda of his own?

If you love gritty, epic space opera like The Expanse or Firefly, this second book in the Allies and Enemies series is meant for you.

Suit up. Time to join the fight.
