Miss Gussie Werth is the only ordinary lady in her family, without a single drop of magic to liven things up. Fortunately, she’s just been abducted.

Miss Gussie Werth has grown up surrounded by the most supernatural family in England. Nell talks to the dead, Lord Werth is too often found in the churchyard at the dead of night… and the less said about Lord Bedgberry, the better.

Somehow, Gussie has been passed over by the family curse. She sups on chocolate, not blood; she’s blissfully oblivious to spectres (except for Great-Aunt Honoria, of course); and she hasn’t the smallest inclination to turn into a beast upon the full moon, and go ravening about the countryside. All things considered, her life has been unbearably placid and uninteresting.

Thankfully, Gussie has just been abducted by a neighbouring family every bit as strange as her own… and as deliciously spectacular disasters start to stack up, she begins to suspect that she may not be quite as normal as she thought. Far from being ordinary, Gussie may well prove to be the worst Werth of them all…

Meet the Regency-era Addams Family—full of spectres, gorgons, and polite, ravening monsters—in this fresh, absurd gothic fantasy by the author of Modern Magick and the Malykant Mysteries. “Strange and utterly delightful” (Olivia Atwater), Wyrde and Wayward‘s notorious House of Werth will sink its teeth into you and leave you wanting more.

A trip abroad. A dark secret. Her family’s legacy of magic may cost a teen her life…

Georjie’s summer is shaping up to be a big disappointment. Trapped in Ireland with her aunt’s gorgeous but cold adopted son Jasher, her “vacation” gets worse with each passing day. But when a trip to the greenhouse reveals glowing cocoons she shouldn’t be able to see, she embarks on a quest to solve a magical mystery…

In the pages of an ancient diary, Georjie learns of her dark family history and unearths an incredible elemental power. But as she digs deeper and realizes she isn’t the only one with a touch of magic, the ghosts of the past may do much more than haunt her.

Can Georjie provide justice for her ancestors before she becomes the next family victim?

Born of Earth is an enchanting fae novel in the Elemental Origins series, a nonlinear collection of YA contemporary fantasy novels. If you like powerful young women, dangerous boys, and spooky spirits, you’ll love this ghostly adventure.

Can be read as a standalone. Set in Ireland.

But when a routine mission ends in disaster, he finds himself questioning everything he believed in. Pitted against the Empire, and Zeta Corp, can he gain freedom for himself, his friends, and the galaxy?

Find out in War Without End, Book 1 of Fall of the Terran Empire.

Some legends are real. Some secrets are worth protecting.

Sidney Lowell didn’t plan to return to Silver Hollow, her sleepy hometown nestled against ancient forests in Humboldt County. But when her mother and grandmother vanish without a trace while investigating the mysterious creatures that have appeared to the women in her family for generations, Sidney has no choice but to come home.

Almost finished with veterinary school but lacking her diploma, Sidney takes over the family pet shop while searching for answers. The magical beings that only appear to the women in her family might hold the key to her mother’s disappearance — if only she knew how to communicate with them.

Ben Sanders, a struggling cryptozoologist with a YouTube channel and a failed academic career, arrives in Silver Hollow chasing rumors of a glowing white horse in the woods. What he finds instead is Sidney — guarded, capable, and hiding secrets that could make his career…or destroy what’s left of her family legacy.

When a logging company threatens the ancient forest that serves as a crossing between worlds, Sidney and Ben must race to protect the magical gateway. As they uncover Celtic symbols carved into trees and standing stones that appear only during the dark of the moon, the truth becomes clear: Sidney’s missing family didn’t just disappear — they crossed over.

With the unicorn as their guide and corporate greed threatening to destroy the portal forever, Sidney must decide who to trust with her family’s centuries-old secret. Because saving the crossing might reunite her with her mother and grandmother…or seal them away in another world forever.
