<Away and away the woodpecker sang; for there's nothing to find in this land, so refrain> Book one of the Netheron Chronicles. Welcome to Netheron. A land on the brink of a war in which it has no hope; it's ancient protectors have returned to their own lands, and the land is now left virtually unprotected, helpless in the hands of a merciless Halavarde warlord. Or so some would like to think.... But there is one who still has the power in him to turn the tide of the ancient war . . . to bring and end to a dispute that has spanned centuries. . . . In a world shaped by secrets, this unlikely hero must find the truth about everything he knows . . . including himself.

**Completed**Can smoldering resentment and attraction exist at the same time? Jess Parker has made a number of mistakes. The first was burning her school to the ground. The second, getting caught by the handsome, yet maddening boy who calls himself Asher, who tells her things that can't possibly be true. Now Jess finds herself blundering through a new and alarming world, leaving a trail of blazing destruction behind. She must choose between warring factions, two sides of an ancient war that both want her. And most of all, she must try to harness her explosive powers before they consume her. Note: FIRE is a stand-alone book set in the Jotun world. It is not book 2 of the Frost series (that will be published by Patchwork Press later this year). Cover artwork by @SeventhStar

Do you believe in vampires? I don't. Wether you believe or not, all the vampire romances out there are enough to confuse any girl into mistaking a blood-sucking monster for a prospective boyfriend. This short story is an example of what I think might happen if a vampire today tried to abduct a teenage girl. Because I don't care what Twilight says. VAMPIRES AREN'T ROMANTIC!!!
