Except the war won’t be as easy to escape as he thought.

And the colonists will need Caleb more than he ever imagined…

Who’s afraid of the big, bad werewolf?

On the fog-shrouded cobblestone streets of gaslamp London, Agent Clemeny Louvel is the most feared werewolf hunter. Every supernatural creature in Her Majesty’s realm knows the Red Cape Society’s relentless operative dubbed “Little Red.” When the city’s most illustrious alchemists mysteriously disappear, Clemeny is assigned to the case.

To help her get the problem in hand, Queen Victoria appoints Clemeny a temporary partner, Sir Richard Lionheart, a werewolf with a knightly history and a tendency to be far too flirtatious for either of their good.

Can Clemeny trust him to help her chase down the monsters they’re hunting?

From New York Times bestselling author Melanie Karsak, Wolves and Daggers is a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale set in Victorian England.

When an unprepared bachelor finds himself with custody of magical orphans, can he navigate a Faerie noble, an evil witch, and parenting a toddler?

Charles Henderson “Chip” Proctor’s life is filled with cash, supermodels, and success. Enjoying the fast lane of the wealthy elite, the prominent NY investment executive can’t believe it when his brother and sister-in-law die in a car crash that makes him guardian of their children. And it just gets worse after he discovers his four-year-old niece and six-month-old nephew are the secret half-Fae heirs to an enchanted throne.

Rose Eldersdottir is furious. It’s bad enough she was passed over to bear the future queen, but now she’s stuck dealing with the little ones’ new caregiver—their odious mortal uncle. And the warrior princess struggles to balance teaching the fool about Fae and tracking down her sibling’s murderer.

Struggling to work with the kids’ supernatural aunt who thinks she’d be a better parent, Chip’s jet-setting lifestyle wobbles in the face of his new responsibilities. And as Rose laments the man’s lack of discretion, she fears he’s one blunder away from getting them all killed.

Is this newly formed family unit doomed?

Unlikely Guardian is the fun, action-packed first book in the Uncle Chip Saves the Fae urban fantasy series. If you like floundering heroes, surprising twists and turns, and the start of a slow-burn romance, then you’ll love Jamie Davis’s pint-sized, big-hearted adventure.

Locus Award Finalist: On a mysterious road built by aliens, a space trucker tries to outrun dangerous pursuers.

Independent space trucker Jake McGraw, accompanied by his father, Sam, who inhabits the body of the truck itself, his “starrig,” picks up a beautiful hitchhiker, Darla, and a trailer‑load of trouble.

One of the best of the indies, Jake knows a few tricks about following the Skyway, which connects dozens, or maybe hundreds, of planets—nobody knows how many and nobody really knows the full extent of the Skyway, and much of it remains unexplored.

But somehow, a rumor gets started that Jake has a map for the whole thing, and suddenly everybody wants a piece of him: an alien race called the Reticulans; the human government known as the Colonial Assembly; and a nasty piece of work called Corey Wilkes, head of the wildcat trucker union TATOO.

No matter what Jake does, no matter how many twists and turns he makes, he cannot shake any of the menaces on his tail.

The Starrigger series continues with Red Limit Freeway and concludes with Paradox Alley. Starrigger was a nominee for the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 1984.

In the town of Gold Fields, evil wears a friendly mask, blood doesn’t always run red, and fire doesn’t always burn.

Eight-year-old Innah McLeod witnessed a nightmare that shattered her innocence and left her with supernatural abilities.
For years, she uses these gifts in service of law enforcement, spying on the dregs of the supernatural community. But when her partner and mentor falls in the line of duty, Innah’s only wish is to retreat to the country and the solace of beautiful sunsets.
Now, Captain Bradshaw wants her back. If she accepts this one assignment, he will release her from her contract. Unable to refuse, Innah finds herself undercover in the town where she lost more than she ever knew.

She knows the drills—go in, identify the members, get out. But Gold Fields is home to a dangerous cult, one that brings the past knocking on her door and awakens old nightmares.

Once, Innah McLeod faced unspeakable horrors. In the town of Gold Fields, she will step into that darkness anew, where the line between savior and sacrifice hangs by a thread.
