Welcome to Streamfield, Massachusetts, home to one of the largest populations of witches, sorcerers, and shapeshifters in New England.
Little Jimmy Grabowski is missing ... and that's a problem.
In a world where a witch or a sorcerer can locate someone with a simple tracking spell, all attempts at recovering the boy have come up empty. Finding themselves at an impasse, the local police department turns to the Michaels Clan, one of the largest shapeshifter clans in the city, for help.
Snow leopard shifter Alina Michaels sees the Grabowski case as her chance to discover if there is something more to life than being the receptionist for the family business. When the clan tracks Jimmy's scent to a wooded area marked by two eerie silver stones, it becomes apparent that this isn't a simple case of kidnapping.
The stones are a Gateway to the mythical lost continent of Atlantis, home to a race long since regulated to legends-elves. Now, Alina must trek across unfamiliar and fantastical territory in order to find Jimmy and bring him home.
For Jimmy's disappearance may herald that something more sinister is afoot and pose dangerous consequences to both worlds ...

Lars is willing to fight for what is his to revere, love and protect. Until the ghosts appear. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "But I still have to do one thing today. Strip," he orders, and I stare at him in shock, watching him swiftly remove his jacket and t-shirt. "What? No!" I cross my arms tighter on my chest, but then instantly regret my audacity. If he's anything like his predecessor, my protest will just spur him on. "Suit yourself," he shrugs and his pants fly over the other clothes piled at his feet. Standing tall in front of me, he speaks in the low voice that effortlessly controls the minds of his wolves: "I have no intention of touching you, Isabel. But my beast fought for his mate and he will run with her tonight. Shift." ----------- This story contains mature content and triggering themes.

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse isn't so safe. Vampires live down the street. Yet, unlike their blood-crazed kin, they exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to them. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. The story is being worked into an audiobook on Youtube via Text-to-Speech using ElevenLabs. Each chapter will eventually have a link. Or find me on Youtube at FaeSparksOfficial to listen to the book 1 playlist. Notes: Strong sexual content will begin in book two. Polyamory to be hinted in book one, but come to fruition later in the series (book three). Main themes will revolve around morality, culture, and legacy. *Will try to complete before 2025 Ambys* Cover by Canva.Complete
