A 52-year-old hunter, the younger dragon who loves her, and a teenage hunter-in-training, all in a cottage in a magical garden (to say nothing of the three elves, eight witches, a sisterly dragon, and the cat sent by a goddess) . . .

Diana Barksdale has been a hunter for the Diana Council for most of her life, working as an avatar for the Roman goddess Diana by finding and eliminating those magical creatures who are causing harm. Known only as Barksdale (because what else do you do in a group with hundreds of women, all named Diana?), she’s sacrificed any personal life to serve the goddess’s will. But now she’s been sent on a far more terrifying mission–training a 14-year-old girl.

Harrison David has been in love with Barksdale ever since he woke up to find her spear at his throat. As a dragon, loving only one person makes him a bit of an outcast, but, now that his mother the dragon queen has sent him to live with Barksdale and help her train a new Diana, none of that matters. What does is that there’s a threat growing in their beautiful new home, one his dragon senses detect only too well–and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves and their young trainee.

Artemis (Miz) Montero’s hope is simply to get through each day unscathed. As a foster child, she’s used to ending up in questionable situations. But a house in a huge public garden where an old woman tells her she’s going to become an avatar for a Roman goddess? That’s not just questionable. That’s crazy!

Still, the three of them will need to work together to create a new kind of follower for the goddess. Because there’s something wrong with the Diana Council, and, if they don’t fix it, they may all be dead. Joined by more magical teenagers than Barksdale can shake her bow and arrow at, they’ll have to find a way to heal the land and make several goddesses happy, or they may not live to fight another day.

The Eternal Hunt is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe. Continuing readers will delight in visits from dozens of old friends, while new readers can easily enjoy the loads of quirky humor, romance, and suspense of this unusual contemporary fantasy with plenty of mythological twists.

On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.

*Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats. Wackiness may take other forms.

The More in Heaven and Earth series is all set in the same magical universe filled with angels, witches, werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts, and many other supernatural creatures. These intriguing tales can be read in any order or as stand-alones and will introduce the reader to a variety of fascinating characters throughout the many unique locales of this exciting world.

A troubled prince.
A deadly curse.
A mysterious cup.
And the power to save or doom the kingdom.

Of course things didn’t go as planned at the Royal Games. When do things go as planned?

Now Zora is on the run, and has to join a disgraced prince in order to retrieve a powerful magical artifact that might undo her valley’s curse. For the first time in her life, she has real hope for her people.

Problem is, for the second time in her life, she’s falling for someone she shouldn’t. Finding a hidden object is hard enough on its own, she could do without the heart palpitations and lack of air. And she could certainly focus better without the constant memory of his lips on hers, his arms around her… Gaah! See? How can she avoid pursuers and decipher enigmatic writings when her brain has been turned to mush? Painful, hopeless mush.

But the real trouble is that there’s more than one curse in the kingdom. And not enough objects or time to get rid of them all.

The Curse and the Prince is book 2 in the series Kingdom of Curses and Shadows, an enemies-to-lovers or hate-to-love YA romantic fantasy for readers 15 and up who love witty banter, adventure, and magic.

When a girl set on revenge meets an arrogant prince, sparks fly and tempers rise.

Yes, Zora cheated her way into the Royal Games, but it was for a very good reason:
Spite.
Her ex was an asshole and thought she could never attain glory on her own.
Just because she’s a girl.
So she took his place.

Now she’s competing for the legendary Blood Cup, representing the Dark Valley, a place where shadow creatures spawn in the dark and survive in sunlight. It’s her chance to prove her worth and bring glory to her people. If she wins, of course.

But winning is far from easy.
The younger prince thinks she’s a fragile damsel who doesn’t belong in the competition. Determined to eliminate her at all costs, he’s stacking the challenges against her. Ha. All he’s doing is making her want to win this competition more than ever.

The older prince is helping her, but the cost is getting Zora entangled in dangerous flirting games.
Flirting. The last thing she wanted.

And then there’s someone trying to kill her.

The Cup and the Prince is book 1 in the series Kingdom of Curses and Shadows, a Young Adult romantic fantasy series with romance, action, humor, and intrigue for readers 15 and older.

Readers have compared it to Folk of The Air (hate-to-love trope), Throne of Glass (royal contest), Red Queen (complicated royal brothers), The Shadows Between Us (quirky prose), and Spin the Dawn (royal contest).
