Three eras. Two rival witch clans. One love that defies time itself.

From Prohibition-era Arizona to the wild Old West and beyond, Devynn Rowe and Seth McAllister must fight curses, enemies, and destiny itself in this spellbinding paranormal time-travel romance trilogy.


STOLEN TIME

When the past steals her future, only one man can help her reclaim it.

Time-crossed witch Devynn Rowe lands in 1926 Arizona, hiding her identity from enemy clan member Seth McAllister, her rescuer. As forbidden attraction grows between them, family obligations, bootlegging schemes, and dangerous secrets threaten both their lives…and their impossible love.

BORROWED TIME

When the past becomes their prison, can love be their key to freedom?

Time-crossed witches Devynn and Seth find themselves trapped in 1884 Flagstaff. As they search for a way back to their own time while navigating their growing attraction, they must face both the dangers of the Old West…and a resurfaced enemy threatening to alter history.


KILLING TIME

When time itself becomes your enemy, who can you trust?

Stranded in 1947, witches Devynn Rowe and Seth McAllister are racing against time itself to save Seth’s kidnapped cousin and break a deadly family curse. But as Devynn’s unstable time-traveling powers threaten to trap them in the past and Seth is forced to ally with the enemies his clan has hated for generations, love and loyalty collide in a battle against dark magic, ancient grudges, and a sinister plot that could destroy them both.

When her mother dies after a long illness, Ingrid Torfa must sell the family home to cover the medical bills.

Her career as a book illustrator not yet exactly launched, Ingrid faces two options: live in her battered old Volkswagen, or go back to her mother’s small town in northern Minnesota. The small town that still haunts her dreams more than a decade since she last visited it.

Or rather, not the town but the grandmother. All of the drawings she fills notebooks with witches and the trolls that do their bidding? Not as whimsical in her nightmares as she sketches them in the bright light of day.

If not for her beloved cat Mjolner, living in the Volkswagen just might tempt her. But the cat wants four walls and a door, so north she goes.

And finds trouble in the form of a dead body before she even finds her grandmother’s little town. How much can a town of stoic fishermen possibly be hiding? As Ingrid is about to find out, quite a lot.

A worthy pupil . . . A dangerous quest

To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely Princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry.

Yet Pug’s strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

Praise for Magician: Apprentice

“Totally gripping . . . A fantasy of epic scope, fast-moving action and vivid imagination.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Most exciting . . . A very worthy and absorbing addition to the fantasy field.”—Andre Norton

“The best new fantasty in years . . . has a chance of putting its aughor firmly on the trone next to Tolkien—and keeping him there.”—The Dragon Magazine

New town, fresh start… and one very dead welcome wagon.

Mag and Clara Balefire thought moving to Harmony, Maine would mean quiet mornings, fewer magical mishaps, and maybe—just maybe—time to actually run their antique and apothecary shop, Balms and Bygones, without supernatural drama.

They were spectacularly wrong.

When a dead body turns up among the vintage furniture, the local police shrug it off as a tragic accident. But the Balefire sisters didn’t become two of the strongest witches in their bloodline by ignoring their instincts. Something about this death reeks of murder, and it’s not just their enhanced magical senses talking.

Determined to uncover the truth, Mag and Clara dive into Harmony’s deceptively placid waters—only to discover that their picturesque new home harbors secrets darker than a moonless night. Between dodging the machinations of power-hungry coven leader Hagatha Crow and trying to keep their magical abilities under wraps, the sisters must solve their first Harmony mystery before the killer decides to permanently close their shop.

Welcome to small-town life, witch style. The body count is already climbing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Finally, witches who feel like real people! Mag and Clara’s banter had me cracking up even during the murder scenes. Can’t wait for the next one!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Perfect blend of magic and mystery without being too cutesy. These sisters know how to handle both spells and suspects—loved every page!”

Once upon a future-time, in a city of steel, concrete, and Magick, a wicked queen trapped a mighty warrior with a curse …

In the tiny village of Somer, far from the city, Cherie knows nothing of the evil spell. Her home is a safe, Magickal place. The Fae travel freely along its roads, Magickal humans and animals are welcome, and everyone is hidden from the Queen’s sight by Jack Frost, the local ghost, who blurs the Queen’s mirror with snow and ice.

But when Jack’s spell begins to crack, the Queen’s eyes fall on Somer. Nothing will keep her from abducting all of Somer’s Magickals, not even a war with the Fae.

To avert a war, save her village–and herself–Cherie strikes a perilous bargain. Aided only by Jack and her own small Magick, she’ll set off on a quest … If she fails, she’ll lose more than her life.

The first two books are retellings of Snow White Rose Red with Urban Magick, plenty of folklore, and a Princess Charming. Perfect for fans of Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver. Books 3 through 5 are a retelling of Grendel & Beowulf.

Editor’s Note: I don’t usually share fantasy or sci-fi romance of the spicy variety (the author says the series will be five peppers hot 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ … which I think is the hottest pepper rating.) But the idea of this TWISTY FAE IN F1 was so much fun I had to share!

She sees the impossible. He’s been hiding it for eight centuries.

Xio Valencia’s gift ruined her career at MIT—the ability to see probability threads that predict crashes before they happen. Now she hides in the shadows of Formula One, sending anonymous warnings to save drivers who’ll never know her name.

Until she notices something impossible about Thorne Blackthorn’s lap times.

Thorne has concealed his fae nature for eight hundred years, using probability magic to dominate every circuit. But when a brilliant analyst starts seeing through the glamour—and her scent shatters the binding that’s kept him numb and touch-starved for centuries—his carefully controlled world implodes.

The courts want her eliminated. He’s supposed to obey—he’s killed for them for two centuries. Instead, he claims her as his fated mate, defying his king to keep her alive as they navigate Grand Prix circuits by day and court assassins by night.

Her awakening power could save them both. Or condemn the entire supernatural world to exposure.

He’ll burn the world before he lets them touch her.

One fierce mathematician. One tortured fae enforcer. One impossible choice.

Drive to Survive meets A Court of Thorns and Roses in this scorching, high-heat fated-mates romance featuring a touch-starved antihero, forced proximity, and possessive protection that knows no limits.
