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.

In KINGDOM OF THE NANOSAURS (book one of the trilogy THE KINGDOMS OF TIME AND SPACE), Morgan Lane’s phenomenal memory is used by the Guardians, the spiritual protectors of the animal kingdom, to memorise and protect The Cosmic Algorithm – the source code of all creation. The Guardians, who inhabit a breath propelled starship deep inside Mount Everest, have magically transported the animal kingdom to a new Eden. That’s when poetry loving, witty but shy, Morgan, who only believes in science and scorns magic and spirituality, suddenly becomes the most important person on Earth and finds his life in danger at the hands of fallen angels, cosmic parasites and a crazed scientist seeking world domination. Together with his friend Lin Rainbow, a Chinese-American girl who has the gift of prophecy, and Winston, his pet orangutan, transformed into a genius with the power of speech, Morgan embarks on a life threatening quest to save the world from cataclysmic events. These include the utter disappearance of all animal life on earth, the arrival of a legion of fallen angels known as the Shadix and the plans of a billionaire scientist, Marius Natzler (controlled by the Shadix), who has replaced the animal kingdom with a ‘Pandora’s Box’ of artificial, indestructible creatures called nanosaurs, to establish the ultimate New World Order and enslave mankind. The knowledge stored in Morgan’s astounding memory and the secret of Winston’s amazing transformation are coveted by Natzler who will stop at nothing to acquire them. Captured and imprisoned Morgan and friends must escape and stay alive long enough to locate the Guardians and enter the gateway to a parallel dimension where Morgan can use The Cosmic Algorithm to reprogram the Continuum and return the world to the Eden it was always supposed to be.

They say that we're born with either a fight or flight response: when we panic, we'll either stay and fight or run away. It's programmed into our DNA and there's nothing we can do to change it. This was Lexy's fight or flight - stay and talk it out or run away. She'd always thought she'd be more of a fight kind of girl, but until that moment, she'd really had no idea.
