(Short story) Dru needs to study for her Nursing final, but instead she's stuck working in her mother's magic shop alone on Valentine's Day. She expects another boring night of selling fake love potions to people who are desperate not to be alone on the most romantic day of the year. Her night is anything but boring when a stranger bursts into the store looking for real magic.

A blacksmith's apprentice who would be a knight. The heir to the throne, at death's door. One woman who would save them both, if she could... Charlotte was number sixty-four in the second group of young, hopeful maidens intended to meet the Prince at a grand ball in his honor. That introduction was not to be. She returned home to her tiny village- and her visions of a future limited by it- without any warning of the drastic turn her life was about to take. Soon she would be fighting against the odds to help keep a gravely wounded stranger alive; and waging war with her own heart, as he stirred feelings in her she'd never known. When the stranger's royal identity is revealed, Charlotte is faced with an entirely different battle: one to keep her family, village, and the injured Prince in her care all safe from a madman set on taking the throne by any means necessary.

The Chronicles of Narnia but with more swearing, more katanas, and less allegory. It's nerdy, anime inspired fun for the whole family. Leone owns Pulp Magic (Comics, Books, Games, & More). Angry customers are her biggest concern-until a man from another world literally drops into her shop. And oni have followed him. Leone defends herself with a magical staff, which marks her with powerful runes. Her supernatural tattoo sleeves make her desperately thirsty, yet practically allergic to water-and oh, they foretell the fate of the realms of demons, gods, and men. With her four friends and inter-dimensional guide, Leone travels to the realm of the gods, searching for magical cosmetic surgery. She doesn't want to carry the fate of the world literally on her arms. But the truth she finds-of a war raging between worlds-changes her, challenges her. What's a nerd to do with the fate of all worlds at stake? Ah yes, kick some demon ass.

Mad Mo and the crew of The Siren are the most fearsome pirates to ever fly the skies over the Barbary Coast. Only those closest to her know that everything she does--the raiding, the looting, the illegal magicking--are all for a greater cause--to find her baby sister. After five long years of searching, Mad hits a stroke of luck: she comes across the same airship that abducted her sister. But before she can launch an attack, The Siren is overtaken, and Mad wakes up bound to a chair aboard the enemy ship, her greatest weapon--her magic--rendered useless. Her captor is not what or who she expected; he's far worse. And Mad must strike a deal with the devil himself to get the answers she needs to save her sister. A steampunk fantasy adventure!
