Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.

The city of Harborne is one with a troubled past. Its influence once wiped out an entire nation and, in return, it brought the wrath of the Dragon-Kin, of Bron and the Viper, down upon its walls. For over a year it survived, protected by the subtleties of its location, by the ocean and the rain, until its fate was eventually sealed by one of its own. In this world where everyone is born with magic, Edward Montgomery, who somehow had not a scrap of power within him, turned his heart to darkness and let the serpents through Harborne’s battered gates. And though this happened seven generations ago, there is still a saying in the city that survived Bron: “No magic leads to dark magic”. Which wasn’t a problem when Kiara was a child and could disappear from sight with nothing more than a simple thought. Only now she’s inexplicably crippled, with no magic to speak of, and the horizons beckon. She’s headed East, to the Mirror City, because they say a man can buy anything there, anything at all. And anything is exactly what she’d give to get her magic back. She’s willing to face dragons for it. Lucky, really, since Ben is tired of this power he cannot control, and he’s headed East too, to see if he can’t just sell his. **** Watty Award Shortlisted (Most Imaginative Setting) 2012 *****

In 19th century France, a journey begins. He's a mysterious artist and composer who hides his past--and his face--from the world. She's a small-town girl with a broken home. When Alana meets Erik, the former Phantom of the Opera, one thing is certain: their lives will never be the same again. *DISCLAIMER: I do not own Phantom of the Opera (unfortunately) and I do not own any of the characters or song lyrics appearing in the Andrew LLoyd Webber musical, or the 2004 film version. They are the property of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and for goodness sake, I hope I can do them some justice!

What if Angels and Demons were real as well as other creatures of myth and legend, but our knowledge of them was flawed, what if they walked among us on a daily basis and we were just too naive to see them for what they are? How would you know the difference if you never knew the signs? What if an angel could hide its wings, or a witch was just as normal looking as your mother or brother? Would you know who was who, or what was what? Would you even know where to begin? Jason is anything but an ordinary high school student, his skin is as white as snow; his hair an unnatural black that would give coal a run for it's money, and his eyes an emerald green that almost seem to glow. He's tall and heavily muscled, with extensive martial arts training; although his peers are the reason he became a fighter; he was once the victim of bullying and ridicule because of his unearthly appearance. Only Cassie looked past his appearance to see the boy beneath. She became his only friend until Mark appeared. Instantly, Jason and Mark seemed drawn together by more than mere circumstances. For the first time in Jason's life, someone doesn't seem to notice how unearthly his appearance is. Mark doesn't see him as otherworldly. Instead, he sees beauty and strength. Although even he doesn't fully understand why he feels so strongly toward a complete stranger or why he feels he has to know him. This is a story about love conquering all, regardless of past tragedies or the loss both boys have suffered. They will stand hand in hand through thick and thin, as fate throws curve ball after curve ball. Their lives will be forever changed by their meeting; be it for the better or for the worst. Love is never easy, but sometimes, it can be pure and selfless.
