Either I defeat the monster or I become the monster.

As if being locked up in the crazy house wasn’t bad enough, I wake up to discover that the person I trust most in the world just morphed into a bloodthirsty monster. My only chance for escape comes in the form of two women calling out from within a shimmering tunnel. So, it’s either stick around and get murdered or jump through some kind of portal.

I take the option that doesn’t involve dying and find myself ushered into an ancient society of witches. I’m given a choice: I can either go it alone and take my chances or join their magical training program. The problem being I didn’t even know I had magic, never mind the kind that can open a doorway between realms. But that’s exactly why I’m being hunted by a Fae demon looking to settle an old score. Now, I either find a way to defeat him or he’ll be using my magic to bring in the rest of his kind. If that happens, it won’t only mean the end for the world of witches. It’ll mean the end of the world.

The Shadow Order is a fast-paced, unpredictable new urban fantasy that readers are calling “amazing,” “with strong female leads,” and “full of excitement!” If you like snarky kickass heroines, fast-paced action, magic, witchcraft and romance, then grab it today!

Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She’s being chased by a very bad wolf.

Galaxies away Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos, is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong—this time anyway. He does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…

Amy’s and Loki’s fates are about to collide. They’ll have to work together to defeat gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember what he’s forgotten, and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

I Bring the Fire is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

Enter a world where it’s Halloween every day and where the monsters are normal, and the normal are monsters…

I’m Ali Welson, and I’m the most normal, goody-two-shoes girl you’ll meet. It’s how I survive a strict home, far from the mysterious Dark Corruption that converts people into B-movie monsters on contact.

But after a close call, Monstreuse, the monster academy, sends an obnoxious sorcerer to claim an unwilling new student–me. Only it’s a mistake, I swear. I never touched the Corruption, as much as Byron insists otherwise. But when my family disowns me, I have no choice but to go.

Thrust into a new, forbidden world, I’m sure I won’t survive my classes, my classmates, or my new rival. But even that pales in comparison to the biggest horror of all. I might be the least normal Monstreuse student in history, and my family is right to fear me.

Why else would someone be trying to do me in?

Monster Academy is a young adult, paranormal academy series that takes place in the same universe as the Cursed Academy series, occurring ten years after the conclusion of Cursed Academy: Year Four. However, it can be read on its own. If you love Halloween, B-movie monsters, slow-burn romance, and danger at every turn, you’ll love the Monster Academy series!

Commander Noa Sato plans a peaceful leave on her home planet Luddeccea … but winds up interrogated and imprisoned for her involvement in the Archangel Project. A project she knows nothing about.

Professor James Sinclair wakes in the snow, not remembering the past twenty four hours, or knowing why he is being pursued. The only thing he knows is that he has to find Commander Sato, a woman he’s never met.

A military officer from the colonies and a civilian from Old Earth, they couldn’t have less in common. But they have to work together to save the lives of millions–and their own.
Every step of the way they are haunted by the final words of a secret transmission:

The archangel is down.
