When a bizarre magnetic shift turns ordinary talents into extraordinary magic, a team of allies bands together to protect themselves. But are these Unhidden capable of saving themselves from genocide?

Anna Taylor thought she was just a good swimmer… until she starts growing scales and working water magic. Forced to flee an angry mob, she seeks sanctuary in a rural Ireland safehouse that offers less protection than she’d hoped, and she’s thrown headfirst into a perilous mission to defuse an explosive threat.

To overcome the danger, Anna teams with a group of six unlikely allies. Max, a war-torn Vietnam vet with the power to command winds. Bintou, a linguistic genius who can decipher any language. Hiroki, a persuasive mastermind from Tokyo. Qacha, a fire-wielding chef. And Nokomis, a grandmother who can make any plant grow. The only thing they’ve got in common is the enemy.

They’re not perfect. Still, they’ve got each other’s backs. Probably. They’ll have to keep their eye on Max.

When a consortium of xenophobic zealots declares open season on their kind, Anna and her ragtag squad must combine their powers to avert their own extinction. If this unlikely team of misfits fails, more than their lives will be in danger. It could lead to the annihilation of all the Unhidden.

Can Anna and her mostly merry band divert the tide of chaos and death hurtling toward them?

Taming of the Few is the first installment of the Guardians of PHAE trilogy. Brace yourself for snarky banter, fantastic world-building, and heart-pounding tension that will keep you up all night.

When John Miller signs up for the rescue mission to the Proxima Centauri outpost, he expects to find his former lover, Hana, the brilliant physicist behind the invention of near light engines, dead. 

Instead he and his team find Hana missing and a large part of the outpost destroyed.

John’s team suspects suicide.  John knows Hana would never give up so easily.

John and Hana are very different people. Their relationship was a fluke born of proximity and convenience. But when he discovers her Hail Mary attempt to return to Earth with a dangerous, experimental faster-than-light vessel, he has to follow her.

But it isn’t where Hana has gone that is the real surprise. It’s when … 

Vessels damaged, fighting for survival, Hana and John struggle to rebuild the basics of civilization from scratch. They’re in a world where unboiled water or an untreated cut can result in death, and four-legged predators lurk in the trees.

But the greatest threats to Hana and John are almost human …

From the author of DEMONSOULED and THE GHOSTS, here is a new epic fantasy of high adventure, heroism, and daring deeds.

A thousand years ago, the last grandson of Arthur Pendragon led the survivors of Britain through a magical gate to a new world, a world of magic and high elves, of orcs and kobolds and stranger, darker creatures. Now the descendants of the exiles rule a mighty kingdom, peaceful and prosperous under the rule of the High King.

But a shadow threatens to devour the kingdom.

RIDMARK ARBAN was once a Swordbearer, a knight of renown. Now he is a branded outcast, stripped of his sword, and despised as a traitor.

But he alone sees the danger to come.

CALLIANDE awakens in the darkness, her memories gone, and creatures of terrible power hunting her.

For she alone holds the secret that can save the world…or destroy it utterly.

The secret of the Frostborn.
