Once upon a future-time, in a city of steel, concrete, and Magick, a wicked queen trapped a mighty warrior with a curse …

In the tiny village of Somer, far from the city, Cherie knows nothing of the evil spell. Her home is a safe, Magickal place. The Fae travel freely along its roads, Magickal humans and animals are welcome, and everyone is hidden from the Queen’s sight by Jack Frost, the local ghost, who blurs the Queen’s mirror with snow and ice.

But when Jack’s spell begins to crack, the Queen’s eyes fall on Somer. Nothing will keep her from abducting all of Somer’s Magickals, not even a war with the Fae.

To avert a war, save her village–and herself–Cherie strikes a perilous bargain. Aided only by Jack and her own small Magick, she’ll set off on a quest … If she fails, she’ll lose more than her life.

The first two books are retellings of Snow White Rose Red with Urban Magick, plenty of folklore, and a Princess Charming. Perfect for fans of Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver. Books 3 through 5 are a retelling of Grendel & Beowulf.

Featured Sci-fi: The Expanding Universe by Multiple Authors

Featured Sci-fi: The Expanding Universe by Multiple Authors

New Release
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

Available for a limited time, this collection includes my novella, Situation Normal All Furballed Up—an adventure with 6T9, Volka, Carl, and Sundancer. It doesn’t require any familiarity with these characters, but it takes place between Starship Waking and Darkness Rising for those familiar.

6T9, Volka, and Carl are back in this hilarious sci-fi rescue mission… with extra glitter, gladiators, and one grumpy telepathic furball.

Android 6T9 was designed for pleasure—not prison breaks, gladiator death matches, or interstellar diplomacy gone sideways. But when his mission to retrieve a stranded scientist on the patriarchal desert colony of Exeter 389 goes spectacularly wrong, he does what any self-respecting former sexbot would do: improvise with glitter, charm, and masochism settings dialed to maximum.

Now trapped in a gladiator barracks, wearing a glorified diaper, and surrounded by musclebound morons, Sixty’s only backup is an artistic wolf-girl, a sentient starship with communication issues, and Carl—a venomous, telepathic space-weasel who’d rather nap than save the galaxy.

The locals are bloodthirsty, the rescue window is closing, and a six-legged monster is about to enter stage left.

For Sixty and his crew, it’s Situation Normal, All Furballed Up!

Besides Situation Normal there are twenty-two other short stories by such indie author luminaries as Craig Martelle, Lawrence M. Shoen, Rick Paltrow, Rachel Aukes, Daniel Gibbs, and many more!

Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She’s being chased by a very bad wolf.

Galaxies away Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos, is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong—this time anyway. He does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…

Amy’s and Loki’s fates are about to collide. They’ll have to work together to defeat gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember what he’s forgotten, and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

I Bring the Fire is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

Magic is real, but Tara’s life isn’t a fairy tale.

From humble beginnings, Tara’s managed to work her way into a great job researching Dark Energy, aka “magic,” in Chicago. She has a beautiful house she renovated with her own hands, and a loving extended family, but she hasn’t found her soulmate … Not that she believes in soulmates.

Lionel is a Light Elf. Despite being of dubious heritage and being born a peasant, he’s risen in the ranks to serve the Elf Queen. Like all true elves, Lionel has a soulmark to identify his soulmate … He just hasn’t found her yet.

When Lionel’s and Tara’s lives collide and Dark Elves strike, they’re forced to work together or perish. Friendship and more grows between them, but dangers loom … Tara is more important than she knows, and Lionel is more important than he wants to admit. Both of them have choices to make.

Will Lionel choose a “perfect” love over Tara? How much is Tara willing to give up for a happily ever after?

They might find that in an uncertain world, the love you struggle for is the only certain thing.
