There are some places even a demon fears to tread…

My name is Kyann, and I’m half-demon. I grew up on the streets, learning how to take care of myself early on. I also learned, with the help of my best friend, how to control my darker side.

Now, together with Dante, a wolf shifter who’s too hot for his own good, I own a supernatural PI firm. We investigate everything from wayward pixies to vampire stalkers.

While checking out the murder of a local member of the Witches Guild, we uncover a demonic force trying to creep into the area, one that feels oddly familiar to me.

As we race to solve the murder, I start piecing together scattered pieces of my past. Now, not only are we embroiled in a murder, but I seem to be on a collision course with the dark secrets of my birth.

DREAMTHIEF received the INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award from Foreword Reviews for fantasy and also won a RONE award for Best New Adult Romance.

Forget the fairies and unicorns, most people return from fairy world with lost memories and mental problems. Olive Kennedy knows. She’s the therapist who treats patients suffering from Faythander’s side effects.

Traveling back to the fairy realm wasn’t on Olive’s to-do list. But she has no choice. The fate of both Earth and Fairy depends on her ability to stop an ancient being called the Dreamthief. To complicate matters, she may be losing her heart to someone who can’t love her in return. Saving the world, she can handle. Falling in love—not so much.

Dreamthief is the Amazon #1 bestseller in both Mythology and Fairy Tales. With over 150 five-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, Dreamthief is an imaginative, romantic fantasy for fans of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Morgan Stamm of InD’tale magazine says, “[Dreamthief] springs to life from the very first sentence.”

This imaginative read has been nominated for both the Foreword Reviews’ INDIEFAB book of the year award, as well as InD’tale’s prestigious RONE award.

When, one by one, Sethran Kada’s friends disappear — all guardians of a dangerous secret — it’s time to worry.

Joined by his partner Ciela, Seth is drawn into a desperate search stretching from rebel strongholds to the dangerous fringes of Commonwealth space. What begins as a rescue mission quickly unravels into something far larger: a breakthrough threatening to expose the secrets of Killian’s Maze, a hidden network buried deep within subspace itself.

A discovery powerful enough to reshape civilization.

Or destroy it.

As rebel factions close in and loyalties begin to fracture, Seth must decide how far he is willing to go to protect the people he cares about — and what sacrifices he is prepared to make once the Maze begins pulling them all beyond the limits of endurance and understanding.
