Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!"

The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete

Beneath The Tides
People say mermaids are myths-creatures born from imagination, whispered through folklore, and lost in fantasy. Justin Chadwick never believed in them either. Not until he started seeing her. At eighteen, the world's wealthiest and most sought-after bachelor witnessed something he could neither explain nor forget-a fleeting glimpse of a creature that was neither fully human nor entirely of the sea. He dismissed it as stress, hallucination... anything but the truth. But she never left him. She followed him into his dreams. Into his thoughts. Into the quiet moments he could no longer escape. Years later, Justin has everything a man could desire-power, wealth, control. Yet beneath it all lies a haunting presence he has never been able to shake. Until one night... she appears again. Not in his dreams. Not in his imagination. But in his world. A mysterious woman of the sea-beautiful, distant, and impossibly real. Drawn to her in ways he cannot understand, Justin finds himself unraveling the deeper he gets. Because she is not just a creature of legend-she is a secret the ocean has kept for centuries. And she has been watching him. As reality begins to blur with myth, Justin must confront a truth far more dangerous than fantasy: Some legends are real. Some obsessions run deeper than the ocean. And some creatures don't just appear... They choose who they reveal themselves to.Complete
