Secrets, swords, and a touch of dragon fire
” A top fun comfort read.”~ Gail Carriger

Everyone expects Sir Fitzwilliam Darcy to fix their problems: estate management, endorse a courtship, hide from the Blue Order Council dragons. Some were more difficult that others, but still within the realm of a Pendragon Knight.

The mounting dangers to the Blue Order and all of Dragonkind, though, dealing those would require more effort. Perhaps after a strong cup of coffee—not tea, world-ending disasters required coffee.

Dragon Sage Elizabeth’s pregnancy had left her tired and cranky and as big as a dragon. But her father’s emergency visit … best just say, it did not foster pleasant tea time conversations.

Between his entitled demands and his socially-inappropriate dragon assistant, Bede, nothing is sacred. Not correspondence, not locked rooms, and especially not the secrets Bede is supposed to be keeping, rather than whispering into the ears of impressionable young firedrake, Pemberley.

Of course, Pemberley intends to do something with all the secrets she isn’t supposed to know. Things which could turn the Blue Order on its ear. Things which would soon make Elizabeth and Darcy’s world very, very complicated.

Swords, poisons, and a touch of dragon fire could be required to set things back to rights. But first maybe coffee.

A fresh new gaslamp fantasy adventure in the engrossingly intricate world of Jane Austen’s Dragons. Anne McCaffrey meets Jane Austen, a perfect mix for dragon lovers and regency-era fans alike.

” A top fun comfort read.”~ Gail Carriger

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a dragon.

Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley has the good fortune to be in possession of the first English firedrake egg laid in a century. Or, at least, he was until some miscreant stole it. Mr. Darcy tracks the thief to Hertfordshire. Catching the thief, however, proves to be an entirely different kettle of brimstone, especially when he encounters fellow Dragon Keeper, Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn.

Elizabeth Bennet’s deep connection to dragons and remarkable grasp of their lore make her the ideal companion for finding the egg. It’s too bad that from their introduction she finds Darcy arrogant, conceited, and selfishly disdainful of the feelings of others.

Time is running out for Darcy to win Elizabeth’s trust and recover the precious egg before it hatches, and the fragile peace between humans and dragons is lost forever.


Meryton meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight readers of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike.

What if the ordinary family you crave finds you? Only they’re not ordinary, neither are you, and neither are the vampire neighbours raising your twin sister.

An accident is all it takes to turn my mundane life in a London children’s home upside down.

Power and magic lurk at the priory, my new home in the Oxfordshire countryside, and I learn fast that nothing is ordinary around here. Not my newfound family—the Penhaligons. Not my long-lost twin sister. And not the hostile new neighbours—a coven of vampires, vaewolves and demons.

As I grapple with family secrets, four powerful new brothers, and latent abilities of my own, my sister and the man who raised her find themselves in mortal danger—a danger that draws me and my family into a battle to save them.

Finally embracing the meaning of family, two questions burn at the back of my mind.

If vampires and demons exist, what are the Penhaligons?

And what am I?

A librarian. A spell book. And a magical terror organization set on controlling the world.

Librarian Jayne Thorne enjoys her quiet life of tea and books. That is, until she finds a spell book in the Vanderbilt University archives that accidentally gives her access to a magical dimension.

Now she’s hunted by a magic-wielding terrorist group, and the only way for her to survive is to team up with a secret branch of the CIA. Her first mission: Go undercover at Trinity College Library in Dublin and determine if the Book of Leinster is actually a magical necromantic grimoire.

With the help of a handsome Irish kickboxer, Jayne uncovers the truth of her unexpected spell book: The Irish manuscript is one of five grimoires that can raise five dead, master magicians, and secure their totems of power. With these totems comes the power to control the world.

But the spell book isn’t the only thing with secrets in Jayne’s new life. Danger lurks in every corner and Jayne must rise to meet her fated role…or perish alongside the rest of the world.

A Discovery of Witches meets Mercy Thompson, with a splash of Indiana Jones and Gilmore Girls, in this award-winning contemporary fantasy adventure.

A science fantasy series perfect for those who loved the world of Divine Rivals, wanted to soar with Jim Hawkins in Treasure Planet, and wished Rogue One had a romantic hate-to-love subplot.

Two tortured souls. One world on the brink of war.

Kase Shackley is an embittered hover pilot still reeling from the night his sister died in his arms. He’s a screw up in every sense, so when a pilot nearly dies on his watch, he faces serious charges. Seeking to clear his name, he flies a ragtag crew to a lost and dangerous land from which they might never return. If only he didn’t have to work with the infuriating bookshop girl who insulted him with Shakespeare…

Hallie Walker, top scholar at the University, is jaded by the glittering society she’d always dreamed of joining. Raised in the mountains, she fled to the city to forget her painful past. When she loses her bookshop job and the promise of school tuition, she agrees to a top-secret government mission if only for the promised substantial sum upon her return. Now if she could just ignore the ungrateful, arrogant prat of a pilot…

In a world of hoverships and crumbling First Earth artifacts, it’s up to Hallie and Kase to accomplish the impossible: secure an alliance with an elusive, mystical race to help defend against a kingdom with dangerous technology and ancient magic. If they fail, the war will be lost before it even begins.

Normally, they would be enemies, but they both seek the same thing: exoneration.

Unfortunately, a nefarious underground organization is attempting to kill the one man who could grant it to them, the emperor.

Exoneration isn’t easy.
