People believe faeries aren’t real. They’re wrong.

Lily Boyd never suspected the old rhymes and children’s games her grandmother taught her were anything but colorful tradition, and when her mother moved the family to Manchester and forbade her from returning to the Scottish Highlands, she nearly forgets the ancient tales. However, when she returns years later, the memories start to trickle back… along with the unexplainable.

When Lily’s grandmother is kidnapped, strange creatures, dark and terrible, invade her home. Her only savior is Troy, a kelpie, a devourer of human flesh, and darker and more terrible than those who would have killed her. He has his own agenda, his own goals. Troy is her only lead, but can she trust him? Can she learn the rules of the fairy game before losing everything she cares about?

Don’t give a faerie your name. Don’t give them your thanks. And never, ever give them your trust… the stakes of the game could be your life.

*EDITORS NOTE: I’ve read all the books in this series. It is EXCELLENT. Pick it up and be enchanted.*

You are cordially invited to the Hierophant Society. Black tie only. Bring your tarot card and don’t ask questions.

The letter has dropped out of thin air into my lap moments after I’ve been kicked out of my apartment. It can’t have come at a better time.

I’ve always had a wicked sense of adventure. And trouble’s basically my middle name at this point.

The black-tie part of the invite? That’s going to be a problem. But a secret society might be interesting, and I’ve got nowhere else to be.

When I’m introduced to the leader of the Hierophant Society—a devilishly handsome sorcerer who can summon fire with a click of his fingers—my normal ‘human’ world is shaken to its core. He’s offering me everything I’ve ever wanted. Adventure, acceptance, a world that’s steeped in intrigue and magic, and a place in his society.

The only question left is what does the ‘society’ want from me?

The Complete Battle Ring Earth Series Bundle is here. 1000+ pages of military sci-fi action about the defense of Earth against aliens, fighter pilots, and the last hope for mankind.

Technical Specialist Simon Brooks was no soldier. More suited for the academy than combat, his assignment to a rear echelon support squadron seemed a good fit. Everything changed when the Sleer attacked Earth’s newly salvaged spacecraft, UEF Ascension. In a flash, Brooks goes from fleeing a burning transport plane to piloting a broken mech and learning the habits of a fighter pilot from Lt Sara Rosenski, the terror of Nightmare Squadron.

But his rising star takes a hit when he learns to talk to the Sleer AI, Genukh…and suddenly the UEF doesn’t know whose side he’s on.

Now Brooks and Rosenski are stuck aboard Earth’s Sleer weapon—the Battle Ring–and they may be all that stands between Earth and its induction into the Sleer Empire…

Experience this complete Military Science Fiction Series perfect for fans of Rick Partlow, Jamie McFarlane, and Joshua Dalzelle.

“Clever, frisky, and fun! Pit Perfect Murder is a spirited paranormal mystery jam-packed with witty characters and rollicking twists.” –Ann Charles, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Deadwood Mystery Series

Barkside of the Moon Cozy Mysteries are exciting who-done-its with a paranormal twist. Clean reads full of humor and small town charm, mystery, and even a little romance.

When cougar-shifter Lily Mason moves to Moonrise, Missouri, she wishes for only three things from the town and its human population. . . to find a job, to find a place to live, and to live as a human, not a therianthrope.

Lily gets more than she bargains for when a rescue pit bull named Smooshie rescues her from an oncoming car, and it’s love at first sight. Thanks to Smooshie, Lily’s first two wishes are granted by Parker Knowles, the owner of the Pit Bull Rescue center, who offers her a job at the shelter and the room over his garage for rent.

Lily’s new life as an integrator is threatened when Smooshie finds Katherine Kapersky, the local church choir leader and head of the town council, dead in the field behind the rescue center. Unfortunately, there are more suspects than mourners for the elderly town leader. Can Lily keep her less-than-human status under wraps? Or will the killer, who has pulled off a nearly Pit Perfect murder, expose her to keep Lily and her dog from digging up the truth?

This omnibus includes:

Considered one of Ben Bova’s most famous Grand Tour novels: “A gripping, realistic tale of man’s first expedition to the red planet. Don’t miss it” (Terry Brooks, New York Times–bestselling author of The Shannara Chronicles).
 
Jamie Waterman is a young Navaho geologist who is picked for the ground team of the first manned expedition to Mars. He will be joining an international team of astronauts and scientists. But once the crew land on the red planet, they soon discover they must battle not only the alien land on which they have invaded but earthbound bureaucrats as well. When they come face to face with a chasm ten times as deep and large as the Grand Canyon, all twenty-five astronauts must face the most shocking discovery of all . . .
