The first volume in the epic fantasy series Soulwoven. Litnig Jin has spent his life yearning for the power to weave the souls of the dead into magic. His brother Cole has spent his believing in nothing bigger than his own two hands. When a dragon sinks its claws into their nightmares, both of their lives will change forever. A dream of moving statues, shattered chains, and seething clouds of darkness sets the brothers on a journey into the unknown. A prince asks for their help. A necromancer hunts them. The bloom of first love gives Cole something to believe in. And as the brothers travel the world of Guedin seeking to prevent the hatred of a god from coming to life, Litnig learns that there are prices to pay for all power, and that the power he seeks may cost him more than he can possibly imagine. Soulwoven is a story of high fantasy, high adventure, and high soul searching in eight points of view, written with people between the ages of 15 and 30 in mind. I love it, and I hope you will too. Edit: An updated version of Soulwoven is available commercially. Help me write more and buy a copy! The print book will look great on your shelf, I promise. :-) Favorite reader blurbs!

They had caught a being of pure emotion, of loathing and lust, a deity of a drowning sea. And they had trapped it the body of another. They had awoken it, and taunted it, and sealed it in flesh.

Shawna Roberts is the girl that every guy turns to when they need a fake date, a fake girlfriend, a fake fling to make some other girl jealous, a fake couple photo to send to their parents... Shawna's pretty much seen it all. But no matter what they pay her for, everything she does has one common factor: it's all fake. That doesn't make being their paid girl much easier, though. Adam Ferrell is the campus heartthrob with the appearance of a god, an ego the size of Canada, and worshiped by everyone to monumentally ridiculous proportions. In Shawna's mind, it's a miracle his head fits through his shirt every morning. Yet despite their instant dislike for one another, Adam and Shawna each need what the other can offer. When Adam unexpectedly pushes into Shawna's life with a business deal, she's torn between her feelings and her sense of duty, which protects a secret she has kept for years, from even those closest to her. And as the two begrudgingly get to know each other, masks start slipping and secrets come spilling out, forcing each of them to confront some of their darkest moments and deepest fears.

In the world of Karkaeta, all creatures are immortal, but not invincible. All creatures know of magic and many can harness it. And all creatures hide from humans for fear of persecution. The sentient Dragons have been hunted to the point of near extinction by the humans, and of their six elements now only 5 individuals remain. The nomadic Shapeshifters, the secretive Sovuja, and the stealthy Psikani are the only sentients to escape the human's purge, by becoming so hidden that they have become myth to the humans. In the shadows of human detection, two factions of these sentients wage war against their own kin, over a cause they do not fully understand. The only hope of real peace depends on the restoration of balance, and on one oblivious young psikani, who must find answers about her hidden race, and the fate of the disappearing dragons, and with the help and hindering of unlikely companions, to end the human King's purge of all things magical and end the vicious war being fought in the shadows.

When an accident ends her life prematurely, Aubrey finds herself plunged into a whole new world. A world of blood, of battles, and of beasts. Forced from her quiet life, Aubrey must learn to fight with courage, honour, and loyalty to survive. She must become Atlantian or die trying.

Eternal Dreams is a fiction fantasy trilogy about six teenage friends who escape into a dream world to hide from the horrors of their own lives, only to find that reality is catching up with them anyway. Drephoria, the name of the stunning dream world created from their collective minds, will test the limits of their friendship, break the balance between good and evil and prove the true values of memories and the imagination. The first book in the trilogy, "The Curse of Memories," focuses on the central character Kail and his dark past, told through memories, while simultaneously introducing the rest of his friends (known as The Inseparable Six) and the other strange and deadly inhabitants of Drephoria. Pitted against the dark queen Malise and her legendary allies known as The Forgotten Four, Kail and his friends must rid their world of evil before they lose themselves forever. Nostalgic, thrilling, heart-breaking, and consistently memorable, Eternal Dreams is fantasy at its finest.
