April hat es nicht leicht. Da reicht es nicht, dass sie durch ihren Namen jedes Jahr zum Opfer zahlreicher Aprilscherze wird, nein! Zusätzlich ist da auch noch der süße Jim, der ihr mit seinen dunklen Locken und dem durchdringenden Blick einfach nicht aus dem Sinn gehen will. Denn obwohl er taubstumm ist, sprechen seine Augen ihre ganze eigene Sprache und April will unbedingt verstehen, was sie zu sagen haben. - Wattys2017 Gewinner

England 1890 Kleider, Bälle und die Suche nach dem perfekten Ehemann. Das wünscht sich Animants Mutter für ihre Tochter. Doch Ani hat anderes im Sinn, denn sie lebt in einer Welt aus Büchern, und ist sehr bemüht der Realität mit Scharfsinn und einer gehörigen Portion Sarkasmus aus dem Weg zu gehen. Als unerwartet Onkel Alfred zu Besuch kommt und ihr eine Arbeitsstelle anbietet, erkennt Ani darin die einmalige Chance, ihrem eingeschränkten Leben zu entfliehen. Auch wenn es für eine junge Dame ihres Standes alles andere als angebracht scheint. Nun sieht sie sich mit einer Arbeitsstelle in einer Bibliothek, einer monströsen, mechanischen Kartei und dem Leben der weniger Reichen konfrontiert. Und als wäre dies noch nicht genug, keimen unerwartete Gefühle in ihr, die sie bis dahin nur aus Büchern kannte. _________________ Watty-Award Gewinner 2015 Ist November 2017 im Drachenmond Verlag erschienen.

She was invincible and unfixable. She was the woman you'd been warned about since you could walk. She was the smile that robbed a million dollars, and twice as many hearts. {Written 2013.}

A cursed prince. A vain beauty. Glory is the seventh daughter of Balthazar, High King of the Twelve Kingdoms. Glory hopes that - of all her sisters - she can escape the fate of a loveless marriage. But on the night she plans to elope with the royal falconer, her world comes crashing down: Her father announces Glory's betrothal to Eoghan of the Blood Realm - a prince no one has ever seen. The prince is said to be a recluse, cursed and deformed by the gods for the sins of his power-hungry father. Yet when Glory is trapped in Blackthorn Keep she discovers that not everything is what she expected. An insulting gryphon, a persistent ghost, and a secret plan to usurp the prince keep Glory reeling. Can she overcome her vanity to learn that what you want isn't necessarily what you need-and save the cursed prince?

"Who will we send after the little witch?" The room went silent as one of them stood up from her throne, pacing forward. Her skirts flowed over the marble floors as silently as a whisper. Every eye was drawn to her. "I will go after her and make her my slave." She revealed flawless white teeth in a playful smile. "It will be fun. Like a game." The other Gods relaxed, confident that Alice Cunningham didn't stand a chance. After all, no one could resist Aphrodite.

Alice Cunningham is back! First stop is Prague, a city drenched in ancient magic. It's beautiful, haunted and full of history. Maybe too much history. When Alice is confronted by a deranged and powerful witch with a grudge, she decides it's time to move on. But the past isn't going to leave her alone, and Alice finds herself caught up in a war she cannot possibly hope to win.

Soon she meets the seductive titan-turned-pop star Alexie Ambrose, who seems to take a sudden interest in her. Alice must navigate the dangerous politics of his court and learn what motivates him without getting entangled in his spell, or worse.
