Mr. Telle was a genius, an artist, a revolutionary of paranormal affairs. Mr. Telle was so revolutionary, in fact, that he was arrested for conspiring with the vampires he was theoretically out to stake. After five years buried alive in Hässlich’s highest security dungeon, Varian Telle escapes prison three days before the grizzly assassination of military official Scurlock Hooks. Varian, his treachery and arrest immediately make every headline, news station and billboard as murder suspect number one. After all, hadn’t Hooks been the one to accuse Varian of plotting in the first place? There’s only one problem: he’s disappeared before the murder trial. And the artful young pickpocket with serious debt, and her unicorn with a knack for tracking, are just the pair to find him in a coffee shop, morose and slightly hungover. She threatens to not only expose Varian if he does not accept her business proposal, but accuse him of abducting her as well. Should he accept, then once his work is complete she will reveal her identity, that he may demand a ransom from her fabulously wealthy parents. Either way, he's cornered. She claims she is a changeling, a human child stolen away to by Others, the invisible, magical race only talented few like Varian can still See, and raised in the place of a faerie as a slave. She has, however, entered into a bargain with the Underworld as well. Within three months, she must find a fae to take her place in the Seelie Court. Obviously, professional help is in order, and who could be more fit for the job the Varian Telle, himself? The pair of them enter into a contract: he finds the Imperfect whom her parents have raised in her place, and she, in return, pays him enough money to smuggle himself out of the country.

If I could turn back time, I don't think I would. It's not so bad here. Now I'm not alone, the empty hallways mocking me as I lay awake. I made friends here; the stars are very nice when you get to know them. They don't talk much, but they're great listeners. And sometimes, if I reach high enough, I can touch them. I don't have to work to live, I just lay around all day. It's actually quite nice. But I can still hear the water in my ears. It never goes away, almost laughing at me. That's the worst part about drowning.

Stalked by a handsome fairy who claims she is like him, demonkind, she thinks maybe it was a mistake breaking the rules by going over the Wall into demon territory. Plunged into a world of dark magics, fierce creatures, and ritual sacrifice, she is charged with a guarding a magical amulet. The changes to her mind and body are startling, but rather than accept her purpose she struggles against who she is destined to be. Throw in a big lust for a vampire who can't keep his hands off her, and life starts to get complicated. Rae is forced to make the ultimate choice: to live and die human, or embrace her birth-right and wield magics that could turn her into something wicked, a force of nature nothing can control. (Previously titled Demon Girl).

An intimate fantasy tale, told in the stylings of an epic Asian drama, inspired by sweeping Chinese tragic story-telling, and dressed in a fictional fusion of Far Eastern mysticism and elements of steam culture. Turn the silk veil on a world forbidden from common eyes where children sail airships across the sky, a young emperor faces the tattered remains of his empire, a warlord stands on the brink of total conquest, and a gifted young boy embarks on a remarkable odyssey of triumph and sacrifice. Terr hardly knew the incredible future that awaited him when, for the first time, he laid his eyes upon the ether, a mysterious force visible only to a special group of children who are endowed with the divine ability to levitate airships and change the very will of the sky itself. Like all those who shared in his supernatural talents, he would be thrust into a secret world steeped in oriental traditions, be revered by monks and priests, sold by eager merchants, and abused by a rebellious military, lead by an ambitious warlord that would seek to unite all under heaven. In his sadly fallible, yet all-too-human journey, he would face the corruption of the Imperial Courts, be thrown into banishment as the servant of an exiled son of the Imperial Family, and eventually suffer the terrible horrors of a world war, which threatens to end all he holds dear. But as Terr and his dying country careen into the depths of a world torn by vengeance and prejudice, he would come to discover that even a humble child of the sky can still change the course of fate. SKY OF PAPER is also available for kindle and other mobile devices in its original chapter format on Amazon Kindle via the following link: http://goo.gl/B0Sp14
