Paperback Price:
Seven years ago, a Paladin married a Necromancer. It didn’t seem like a big deal back then, seeing as the world was ending. For better or worse, humanity survived. The extraplanar enemy was repelled, and the rifts in the Multiverse were patched up. In the ruins of the realm’s devastation, humanity recovered and rebuilt. Stuck in an uneasy marriage, Kassander and Silver couldn’t be less enthusiastic about the prospect. Perhaps it’s for the best that a noble house is slaughtered in what looks like a wine-soaked demonic ritual. At least solving crimes gives Kass and Silver something to do. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the multiverse and its deities – and, most importantly, their already fragile marriage. A dark fantasy mystery-romance. Paladin and Necromancer is a dark fantasy adventure packed with friendship and romance. You'll love Paladin and Necromancer if you're looking for: - DnD-inspired Fantasy - Dark themes - A tragic-comic tone - Disabled, non-binary, and neurodivergent characters in a Fantasy setting - A mature take on a complex relationship *Praise for "Paladin and Necromancer":* "The world building was amazing. There was so much history and detail yet you never feel like you're too deep in the weeds. There are tense moments where you fear for your favourite characters, and it's lovely that every character's motivations can be justified. No one is "good" or "evil" but each can condemn one another's actions for different reasons. Fantastic!" - Angelique Iles, author of Kentree's Stolen Souls. "I loved the world-building in this imaginative story where magic is key to survival, and the many rifts left behind in the war are a constant threat to new invasions. (...) The ending is immensely satisfying. A highly recommended read." - Debra Purdy Kong, author of The Opposite of Dark. "First and foremost, this a story about its characters. Through them, it provides a romantic story that is both dark and humorous, filled with characters who feel like real people." - W.A. Stanley, Reviewer for WAS.

The gods are disappearing. After he renounced his oath as Paladin, Kass thought he might finally get to go on a vacation. Tough luck. As usual, the world cares little about what he wants. For the sake of his former squires, trapped in a web of conspiracies, Kass walks back into the world of the divine. Lost in the remnants of a life he left behind, he knows how to quell the guilt and anxiety that threaten to pull him under. But will he have the strength to do it? Kass's journey continues in this epic fantasy romance-mystery that explores the limits of love and loyalty. ________________________________________________________________________ Adventures never end when they're supposed to. Silver escaped the clutches of her husband's god, but one day, she'll have to return. Her world is filled with everything she ever wanted, but none of it feels permanent. As she grapples with her new responsibilities as head of the mage guild, Silver once again finds herself torn between the needs of the few and the needs of the many. She knows what she must sacrifice to save everyone she loves. But will she have the strength to do it? Silver's journey continues in this epic fantasy romance-mystery that explores the consequences of hubris and freedom. *Praise for "Paladin and Necromancer II":* "This book is unlike anything I have read before. The relationship between Kass and Silver is new and fresh, the fight with oneself and with the Gods is without compare. The questions raised by the story echo the unanswered questions in our world. There is magic, danger, travel between universes, gods, and mages. Even in a world so full of fantasy elements, the story is grounded by a group of humans who are ambitious, flawed, and loving. Their pursuit of good for one another might spell disaster for society as a whole, just like our pursuit for individual success often comes at the sacrifice of others. Maybe society is better off- like any philosophical question, the answer depends on how you look at it. Warning: don't try to read this on your lunchbreak, it will be very hard to tear yourself away." - Angelique Iles, author of Kentree's Stolen Souls.

Outlaw. Rebel. Thief. Malek has always dreamed of his own ship, of following in his amma’s footsteps and leading a crew through the stars. Salvage, trade, adventure. The perfect life. There’s only one problem: Malek’s in prison, and nobody leaves Helios alive. But after two years of unfair imprisonment, Malek is getting out, one way or another—and he’s taking his new friends with him. He has a plan (sort of), but when Malek’s bid for escape collides with the secret agenda of another prisoner—a Shinarian girl in hiding from her people—she presents him with a choice: trust her and finally leave Helios, or get caught in the crossfire alone. Trystan hates Eden One, a radical colony built upon antiquated ideology and conservative hate. With his father rising in power and his mother cowed, Trystan’s only ally is his uncle, a man who keeps Trystan’s deadly secret safe. Using forbidden alien technology, Trystan’s uncle builds him an android, allowing him to split his consciousness between his real and synthetic bodies. Allowing Trystan a taste of freedom, even if in secret. But everything on Eden One is twisted, so it should come as no surprise when he stumbles upon the terrible project his uncle is working on, with Trystan’s own father at the helm. If he acts, he could lose everything, but if surviving Eden One has taught him anything, it’s that every revolution begins with a single spark of courage. Làhn is a thief, and a good one. As a child on Kirillion, he fell through the cracks and wound up in the Guild. Raised by thieves, conmen and mercenaries, Làhn has never met a mark he couldn’t charm. He’s happy in the Guild, with his family, with his best friend, Kode. This is his life, and he’s content with it. Perhaps that’s because he doesn’t remember before. Before Kode and the Guild. Before Kirillion. When a job goes wrong and Làhn’s life shatters, his only choice is to look to the past. With little more than fragmented memories and the coordinates tattooed on his wrist, Làhn doesn’t have much to go on. But, with the future in tatters, framed for a crime he didn’t commit, suddenly, his past is all Làhn has. Together, they must stand against Berik Corp, the shadowy megacorp whose power stretches across the galaxy. If they don’t—everything will fall.

Love, like archaeology, is a lot of trowel and error. Still reeling from being dumped by her girlfriend, bioarchaeologist Kate Roth agrees to join an estranged colleague to teach at his field school at a Viking-age archaeology site in the wilds of Newfoundland. While welcoming the escape from Colorado where she’s been medicating resurfaced anxieties with wine and angry rock music, she’s wary of three important facts: 1) she’s had a crush on Viking Cowboy Ben for half her life, 2) Ben is a family man who lives in Norway, and 3) all her romantic relationships, and most friendships, seem to have an expiration date. For archaeologist Esben “Ben” Veholt, inviting the woman he’s been in love with since digging alongside her 23 years ago was, of course, the worst possible thing he could have done for himself. This summer was supposed to be his escape from reality: a love life in ruins, worsening body image issues, and a teenage daughter who suddenly wants nothing to do with him. When Kate accepts his offer, he intends to retain a professional relationship with her. A woman like Kate could never love him anyway—not with how much he’s changed inside and out. All seems fine on the surface as Kate and Esben’s friendship rebuilds, but as they dig deeper, they realize just how broken they both are. To heal from their painful pasts and reclaim their crumbling presents, they each need a friend who accepts them, mess and all. But summer won’t last forever, and a third chance at romance threatens to drift across the ocean yet again. Even If We’re Broken is an own-voice debut novel—an emotional, slow-burn friends-to-lovers open-door romance about self-acceptance, mental health, and the scars we carry.

The dream stopped once he became a firefighter, later earning the nickname of “Dodge” by surviving a lethal flashover fire. Dodge embraced his supernatural imperviousness to the heat of fire by going in when no one should, breaking the rules of rescue because he had to, because he could. With the Wyoming steppe becoming increasingly arid and fires igniting every few days, his ‘talent’ is needed now more than ever.

With retirement from active fire duty in his near future, he’s depressed and aimless. Other than firefighting, what purpose does he have? Twice divorced and childless, believing himself to be infertile in exchange for his superpower of unknown origin, he has no one to confide in but his cat, and he daydreams of walking into a wildfire just to see if he’d finally burn. But when he answers an emergency call about a local house fire, renewed purpose greets him in the flames, making him question everything he once believed.

Sometimes the unexpected is just what the doctor ordered... Harper Mason finds solace in hiding. She spends all her days as a school teacher, and spends all her nights reading to her heart's content. It's easier to focus on the happy endings of fictional characters than focus on the realization that she may never have it. That is, until she follows a whim to go visit her big brother, and best friend, Jasper. He lives in Mountain Creek, Colorado working at Marlow Boy's Ranch and he convinces her to stay for the summer-- forcing her to interact and be seen. What she doesn't know is her brother's best friend Everett, who disappeared after high school, is now working there too. Everett Jones is the ranch's music teacher. He's quiet and reserved and sometimes-- downright grumpy. Hiding from his own past hurts, he loves spending his days with needy boys and away from the heartache he carries. Harper and him were friends growing up, and now he avoids her. He is kind and personable to everyone at the ranch but her, and yet, all she wants is the truth. With a lifetime of health issues and self doubt, Harper doesn't believe love will conquer all. But, is she wrong? She is falling in love with this place, these boys, and if she isn't careful-- with the brooding talented friend she used to know who a voice of an angel, instead of a man.
