[Featured Story and Wattpad Prize Winner 2014] When Malachi, an exiled murder, activates a magic relic and duplicates his world, he uses his newly found power to win over the Larks, dog-like creatures from the North. Seeking to locate his missing daughter and plot revenge on those responsible for her disappearance, Malachi marches south, leaving destruction in his wake. Whik Winfield, a young, adventurous Hemonstalian, is swept up in the chaos. He escapes with fellow survivors to the mysterious island of Sebolt, leaving everything he knew behind, including his best friend Sonora. Whik hoped peace could be restored in his new home, but when he finds a mysterious device and creates a world of his own, his troubles double. Can Whik understand how to wield his world-building power before Malachi takes it all away? When the path of worlds can change with a shift in the wind, Whik learns that all second chances come with a price. This dark fantasy novel interweaves Whik's story at ages 9 and 17, as he comes to terms with creating another him, attempts to stop the fall of his nation from a ruthless murderer, and realizes that in order to save the girl he loves in one world, he may have to die in another.

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.

{Third book in the 'Adopted By Elounor' series} "We've been through so much... And the last thing I want to do is let you go. Alex Tomlinson, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" I looked down at Niall with tears in my eyes. I nodded my head yes and he slid the diamond ring on my finger. Our lips met in a passionate kiss as everyone around us clapped and cheered. Almost two years have passed since Niall proposed to me. I am now finishing up my last week at university, Niall right by my side the entire time. I've been keeping a secret from him for over two weeks. I don't know how I should tell him, or how he'll react... My doctor said it's going to change mine, and everyone else's lives drastically. I never expected, that on one walk with my fiancé, I would discover such a tragic secret my enemy has been hiding from everyone. Never had I thought, I would finish university and almost immediately, start my own business. Niall and I have already planned to live on our own when I return home, so I won't really be seeing my parents. Under all this stress, the last thing I wanted was to have Niall leave for tour. What am I going to do without him? Will I be able to get through this difficult period of time, all on my own? I guess I'll just have to see what the future holds.
