A human should not bleed liquid gold, and Melody Carter is one hundred percent human. She should not be able to hear her dog speak in her mind, she shouldn't be able to emit a blinding and burning light from her palms when frightened, and cleaning her papercuts should certainly not leave behind a shimmery, gold-tinted residue on her skin that she just can't seem to wash off. So, when strange happenings spiral out of control, twenty-eight-year-old Melody leaves her isolated human settlement to look for witches that might have more information. Searching for answers, Melody travels to Boone, NC. However, it is only a matter of time before she discovers that students from the Other Studies program at the local college are disappearing, and if she isn't careful, she'll be next on the list of those missing. Complicating things further, she finds herself absolutely and inexplicably enamored with Hartley Allade, a handsome professor at the Appalachian Teacher's College... and a full-blooded Other who refuses to disclose his personal history. Follow Melody, Hartley, and golden retriever Chief in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #3 in the Appalachian Magic book series.

An arranged marriage, a bargain gone wrong, and Appalachian mountain magic combine to answer one question: Is it so terrible to want to be loved? In 1929 Boone, North Carolina, marriage feels like Alice's only true ticket to a better life, and she is determined to make it happen for herself. When Xavier, a deer shifter and the King of the Shadow Fae, appears with a marriage contract arranged at birth and an apparent ardent infatuation with Alice, she believes her dreams have finally come true. However, the longer she stays in the Shadow Court, the more things seem out of place. No one can remember exactly how or when Xavier became the king, and Alice is the only person who seems to remember the existence of Xavier's mysterious twin brother, Florian. As she searches for answers to the mystery of Florian's disappearance and Xavier's rise to power, Alice must decide for herself what it means to love and be loved, and what it means to love someone enough to fight for them. Follow Alice, Xavier, and Florian in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD MARRIAGE is Book #2 in the Appalachian Magic book series.
