Colonial Williamsburg has secrets.

During the holidays, Ellen, Tanya, and Sue want to go to the most Christmassy town in America, which Google says is Williamsburg, Virginia. While they’re enjoying the magnificent light display at Busch Gardens and touring Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown, they sense someone following them. They quickly realize the creeper is not among the living.

At first, their efforts to communicate with this unknown entity provide no answers. Little do they know that he will share his message on his own terms, in his own way. The unsettling truth he shares will rock their world, but it may give them a chance to bring peace to dozens of American Revolutionary War heroes who have been lost for centuries–that is, if they can convince the creeper that they are on his side.

If you can’t get enough of Karen White, Heather Graham, Bobbie Holmes, or Jana Deleon, then this “perfect mix of fun and scary” paranormal mystery is for you!

The books in this series can be read in any order.

An elven prophecy. An unwanted crown. And a shifter who ruins it all…

Joining the underground organization of magical vigilantes known as Shade was supposed to help Rebecca Bloodshadow keep her head down, reinvent herself, and hide in plain sight. Sweeping the criminal garbage off the streets was supposed to be an added bonus…not the greatest threat to her plans.

When a mission goes terribly wrong under incompetent leadership, Rebecca’s first mistake is to react. Her second mistake is becoming part of the coup herself, succeeding, and being voted in as Shade’s next leader. That was not the goal, but she can’t refuse the position now. Not if she wants to keep her past—and her identity as the Bloodshadow Court’s elven heir—a secret from all of Chicago.

Not so easy now thanks to Maxwell Hannigan, the shifter who distrusts her just enough to start digging into the truth of her past.

Despite blocking his attempts to expose her secrets, Rebecca finds herself entangled in a battle of wills with the shifter—and the infuriatingly hot-and-cold attraction growing between them. As pieces of her old life catch up to her in the Windy City, though, destiny and duty and prophecy all come knocking with a vengeance. Rebecca’s still determined to define her own destiny, but can she pull it off no matter how much blood winds up on her hands?

Fans of Charlaine Harris and Patricia Briggs will love this next action-packed Urban Fantasy Adventure set in International Bestselling Author Kathrin Hutson’s Accessory to Magic Universe.

A man hunts for lost knowledge in a future society that’s reverted to a primitive tribal state in this novel by the author of Way Station.

More than a thousand years have passed since humankind intentionally destroyed its treacherous technology, choosing to revert back to a primitive tribal state. In this society the rusting brain cases of long-inert robots are considered trophies, and the scant knowledge that has survived is doled out to an inquisitive few in monastery-like “universities.” It is at one such center of learning that young Tom Cushing first reads of the legendary “Place of Going to the Stars,” rumored to exist on a high butte somewhere in the western part of the land. Driven by enthusiasm and an insatiable need to track the myth to its source, Tom sets out on an amazing trek across what was once called “America,” teaming up with a witch, the world’s last remaining robot, and other odd companions. But all the astonishing discoveries and dangers they encounter along the way will pale before the revelations that await them at journey’s end.
 
Clifford D. Simak, award-winning science fiction Grand Master, offers a breathtaking vision of the future that is both dystopian and hopeful in equal measure. In A Heritage of Stars, he boldly displays the heart, intelligence, and awesome imaginative powers that have established him as one of the all-time greatest authors of speculative fiction.
