The Blue Order and the Pendragon Accords kept England safe from the threat of dragon war since the days of Uther Pendragon and Dewi.

Until now.

Bad enough to face a dragon war, but to be the only man able to change its course? Frederick Wentworth faces the unthinkable.

Not what he signed on for when he accepted his title as baronet.

Sir Walter Elliot’s arrival brings a different sort of war to Lyme when he demands his daughter Anne Wentworth resolve his latest crisis. But Anne and dragon Kellynch have far more serious matters to attend to as they discover yet another, unexpected battleground developing in the impending conflict.

Dragons behaving badly hardly describes the atrocities Anne discovers. Can Anne, Wentworth and Kellynch and their dragon Friends navigate a way through uncharted waters to avert a war that could devastate the entire kingdom?

A fresh new gas lamp 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.

Book 14 in the Jane Austen’s Dragons series.

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.

As a Victorian clergyman’s daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything — until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap.

When a letter arrives from estranged relatives, Edith is swept away to a crumbling gothic Abbey in the wilds of Yorkshire. Wormwood Abbey isn’t just full of curious beasts and ancient family secrets: there’s also a tall, dark, and entirely too handsome neighbour who is strangely reluctant for her to leave.

An unexpected bond with her prickly cousin Gwendolyn gives Edith a reason to stay in this strange world — especially when it turns out that Edith herself may have a role in guarding her family’s legacy.

But not all of the mysteries of Ormdale are small enough to fit in her lap…and some of them have teeth.

WORMWOOD ABBEY, Book 1 of The Secrets of Ormdale, is a cosy gothic novel of mystery, dragons, and the perils of friendship, perfect for fans of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries and Maria Grace.

Start exploring the hidden valley of Ormdale in 1899 with WORMWOOD ABBEY, the first in a new 5 book series.

Who will succumb to the thirst sleep?

A troll invasion forced the dwarves to flee their home in Gorsk Mountain.

Now, five hundred years later, an expedition of dwarves has returned, seeking to reclaim the mountain kingdom. They have great and glorious plans as they rebuild, including brewing beer.

But most of these dwarves are young, still in their first century. Too young to have experienced running out of beer, let alone the devastating effects of the thirst sleep.

Brewmaster Shrem knows better. She grew up in the Gorsk. She’s witnessed firsthand the death that prolonged lack of beer induces. The supply of beer the expedition brought with them is running dangerously low and Shrem is forced to ration what remains. She must brew new beer but needs a source of water, one that partakes of the mountain’s strength.

Accompanied by an apprentice and a journeyman brewer, and the young daughter of the mountain’s runemaster, Shrem will follow her memories from half a millennium ago and seek out suitable pools deeper into the mountain than the returning dwarves have yet ventured. Can she lead her small group through tunnels riddled with troll blight and blocked by the ensorcelled corpses of hundreds of goblins in time? Can a young runesmith help clear the way before any of them succumb to the thirst sleep?
