Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

**Will be available in print and ebook formats September 13, 2016** When Elizabeth, Delia, and Emily were children, their grandfather told them a story about an island castle called the Needle's Eye-home to a lord and his three sons-which could be seen from the coast of their small village. The castle has since been hidden by a mysterious and constant fog that looms over the water, but his story speaks of nine girls who rowed out to the castle on Needle's Eye Island. None of them returned, and the lord's family was never heard from again. Years later, following their grandfather's death, the last ties that bind the three sisters to the village-and each other-seem to be breaking. A careless mistake on the water leads their boat to be swallowed by the forbidden fog, and when they emerge from that cloud, the girls discover that the island castle they'd dreamed of is not a myth. The mere innocence of a curious glimpse becomes a fight for survival when the girls are cursed by the lord's ghostly sons. The sisters learn firsthand what happened to the nine girls who never returned home, and their choice quickly becomes apparent: they can play the games of the three soulless men, or they can give in to death, never to see one another again.

*This story is under construction. You are not advised to read it yet. I'll tell you when it's ready, though. Read at your own risk.* Dreams, when tried to be remembered, are supposedly dark - the kind of darkness wherein you could see nothing. But in lucid dreams, one sees vivid things, one could remember it, and one could be seeing colors. In fact, in lucid dreams, you can do anything you want. You can fly a Pegasus, attend Sky High, or even go face to face with Voldemort or Smaug and get through them without a single scar on your face. The best part is that you wake up remembering all of them - like they happened in your real life. Petula Carter knows how it feels: she can control her dreams. And in her dreams, she wishes to reunite with her faded loved one. But never in her mind she would find something else. Something deeper. Something colorful. And something that could be real.
