Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

After many years, many edits, and over 500k reads on Wattpad, The Divide is finally published on Amazon! It's 2028, and Earth has been under attack by an alien species for two years. This human-like alien species, called Emigres, left their planet to start over after ruining it with constant nuclear war. Looking much like us, the only physical difference between humans and Emigres are that the Emigres have violet eyes. After wiping out much of the human race, the Emigres closed off an area of land in the United States and called it the Reserve. Any humans who surrender will be placed in there, and anyone who refuses to surrender is immediately killed. 18-year-old Rachel Collins has spent the last two years in the Reserve, but talk about a group of humans building an army outside the walls has her curious to see what lies beyond them. When her father escapes to join the rebels, Rachel plans her escape as well. What are the Emigres planning, and will the rebels be able to stop it? Rachel is about to find out, and only one thing is certain: the end of our world is the beginning of theirs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book One in the Soldiers of the Earth series RANKED #8 IN SCIENCE FICTION SELECTED BY THE 5TH WAVE MOVIE FOR STRONG FEMALE LEAD CHOSEN AS WATTPAD BOOK OF THE WEEK: http://cbybookclub.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/book-of-week-wattpad_11.html

It was only supposed to be a minor military expedition and Kenneth Phon was only supposed to be an observer. But when the ambitions of powerful men turn to betrayal and murder, the largest human war fleet ever assembled finds itself leaderless and lost, thousands of light-years deep in the territory of a hostile alien empire. With the fleet surrounded and on the point of surrender, Kenneth Phon takes charge and leads them in their fight home through hundreds of enemy systems. The underachieving son of a wealthy shipbuilder, Ken must fight off more experienced commanders trying to undermine his authority and fractious mercenary ship captains who'd rather fight each other or turn pirate than cooperate. If he fails, not only will the fleet be destroyed, but the defenseless Earth will be sterilized by aliens bent on revenge. (Based on a true story.)

When seventeen-year-old necromancer Sapphire Sweetman befriends the spirit of Mona Delaney, she thinks all of her problems have been solved. Mona proves to be very useful when it comes to propelling her up the social ladder at school and dishing out haunting - and sometimes frighteningly cruel - punishments to those that Saffy deems deserving, but soon she begins to realize that Mona isn't quite who she says she is. People across the county are vanishing without a trace, and when Mona demands a sinister favour in return for her loyalty, Saffy's world is upended completely. The options are clear: comply, or become subject to the rage of a spirit who is far more powerful than she first seemed. Highest chart positions: #12 in Paranormal

"The last thing I expected was a smartass grim reaper for a close friend, a hot girlfriend, and to be leading a group of freak-souls against the king of the dead." Alys Manensdottir isn't having the best high school experience, to say the least. When she finally rejoins school after constant moving and home-schooling, she's initially excited: new friends, a cute girl, a grim reaper at the foot of her bed- oh wait, that last part wasn't so expected. What follows is a tale of discovering her real sarcasm- er, real self- in more senses than one. Her own soul isn't what she thought it was, and that, apparently, has led to her being stalked her whole life by a grim reaper trying to kill her, who later turns out to be a reliable friend. As intimidating gods become tedious nuisances and people around her are being killed off, she struggles between stress and sarcasm, dating and disaster, high school and hell- literally. And just when she thinks she's got it all figured out, one last disaster threatens to change everything... *Do not own cover image. Couldn't find original artist.
