-REACHED #252 IN FANTASY ON 17/09/16- Credits: @Electrama for the cover! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Magic is not something that is out of our control. It lies within us, embeds itself deep inside our hearts and looks upon its master for directions". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You would never think of a small unfamiliar town such as Tarmonty to hold anyone special. Not a working-class community with no gold nor silver to spare. Not a town with hay roof cottages and dead plant life. Well that's what you might think. That's what the local residents in Tarmonty suspect as well. But they couldn't be far from wrong... When a group of criminal masterminds return to the town in order to complete their set task, the townfolk take cover. But they don't understand - they never will. That organisation aren't after the penniless souls - they are after the magical beings. They want to suck the magic out of every last supernatural person in hope of gaining full power over the world. That's why it's important young fifteen year old Serena Pavock stays safe. But how long can she protect herself from the organisation for? How long can she go without telling anyone (even her family) that she is not all she says she is? Join her, as she battles a new realm far from home where she must eventually choose between doing what is right, and what is easy. Discover the secrets that lie in a whole new world, that Serena will have to try and escape from before it's too late.

A Bram Stoker Finalist, DEAD LOVE, traditionally published by Stonebridge Press in 2010 is a novel with manga inserts, the first in a series ... stay tuned for more ... You'll see more manga (not published in the book) here. Zombies in Japan? You bet your life. Dead Love is an artful supernatural thriller that follows a cast of nefarious characters-both human and otherworldly-as they foul one another's plans and power plays in a conspiracy of global proportions. It begins when Clement, a lovesick ghoul, falls for beautiful young Erin. Unfortunately, she is marked for death by the Japanese mob (the yakuza). Using secrets learned from a Haitian witch doctor, and taking us to Tokyo, Amsterdam, and Malaysia, Clement finds a way to rescue and possess her-but not at all in the manner he expected. Some Reviews: Delightfully disgusting, Dead Love is the new horror genre at its best. Fans of Twilight, World War Z, and Neil Gaiman will devour this fine novel whole. ForeWord Magazine This novel about a live dead girl combines an international chase, the suspense of a thriller, a soupcon of sensuality, some wonderfully lyrical episodes, and a set of brand new rules for ghouls. It is as delectable and dangerous as a plate of fugu. I read it in a single sitting. Tim Cahill, author of Pass the Butterworms, Hold the Enlightenment, and Jaguars Ripped My Flesh Linda Watanabe McFerrin charms us with a winding tale of an evil enchantment. A wondrously wild story, told as if the deadpan voice of Dashiell Hammett had been mixed with the song of an artful siren. Susan Griffin, author of A Chorus of Stones and &The Book of Courtesans
