Murderous pirates, battleships galore, and too much treasure for one man to hold. What else could anyone ask for? Captain Nathaniel Thatcher sails alongside his scurvy crew raiding merchant ships, hunting booty, and most importantly scouring ports for rum. With his right-hand, Matthias Clarke, keeping his recklessness at a minimum, the Captain became the envy of the five seas. Whether it was his power, money, liquor, or constant 'companionship' that drew people towards him, they all had one thing in common. They wanted him. Dead-or-Alive. Sybil Collier was no exception. On the eve of her father's disappearance, she knew something was awry. Her mother had pushed her to set her worries aside, because there had not been an accident in the mines for over a decade, but when rumors of pirates raiding a mine on the coast for treasure flooded the village, Sybil's heart sunk. Her father had vanished without a trace, while the other miners remained behind and not a single lick of treasure went missing. Now on the prowl for any clues, Sybil knows her only chance of finding her father is with Captain Thatcher's help. Not that he is at all willing or interested in helping a miner's daughter.

[FANTASY ADVENTURE NOVEL] In the midst of a civil war, chaos arises from separate reaches of the nine countries. Vene Aminoff, a dangerous force graduated from her training as an assassin, threatens the balance of the undercover sorcerers seeking to overthrow fair judgement of the kingdoms. Her actions stir up the once "peaceful" lives held by homicidal Beck Dedrick within the civil war, as well as tender-hearted Cirian Wiltshire of Anjour. Pursued for her acts of murder, Vene Aminoff struggles to complete her final kills while dodging Beck, a trained hitman under strict loyalty to General Myron Conroy of Valens. From the opposite end of the nine countries, Attus Sally, a warm sailor of the eastern seas, takes on an independent task of hunting a deadly band of thugs who terrorize the Southern Wastelands of Faymoore. Terrified of the fate his wife may endure, Attus embarks on an arctic journey through the Wastelands, encountering and suffering the extreme among his own loyal troop of sailors from his ship. Throughout the course of "The Immortal Chronicles", the four characters exhibited in this book confront one another through a strangely unexpected turn of events circling around the lore of the prelude: "Avarice of the Sea". This book can be read separately.

When I was a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. I believed in princes and princesses and knights in shining armor. I believed in forever and happily ever afters. I was ten when reality hit me. My mom brought the evil home with her and there was no escaping it. That's when I learned that fairy tales were just that: fairy tales. The bad stuff is real, though. The difference is that I now know that the monsters and evil villains don't always wear capes and ugly scars. No: most of the time, they appear normal. I'm drowning in reality, in my life, and I've given up hope that a knight in shining armor will rescue me. But maybe... maybe I don't need a Prince Charming after all. Maybe a knight without the shining armor and a broken smile will be enough to save me. *Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published book.

#WATTYS2014 HQ LOVE AWARD! There's a darkness that lurks in the City of Light Seventeen-year-old Connor Lewis is chased by a memory. On his first day of kindergarten he bit a boy hard enough to scar the kid for life. Since then he's been a social outcast at a New York private school. Through an unexpected turn of good fortune, he lands a scholarship to study in Paris, where everything starts to look up. On the first day he befriends two military brats, and he may finally get a taste of what it's like to be a normal teenager. It doesn't last. His host family - an alluring young tattoo artist and her moody, handsome boyfriend - inadvertently introduce him to the underworld of werewolves where there are two types: the born and the bitten. Those born to it take the form of elegant wolves, while the latter are cursed to transform into the half-man, half-beast creatures of horror movies. The bitten rarely survive. Unfortunately, Connor is on the wanted list of a four hundred-year-old bitten human who's searching for both a cure and a means of wiping out werewolves for good. Connor's loyalties are tested as he becomes embroiled in a conflict where werewolves, mad science and teen angst collide. POSTING ON TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS!
