Noel Maher and Amelia Jarvis share a perfect life: jobs they love and a young daughter they adore. But their idyllic lives are about to change forever.
'The Arms of Morpheus' tells the desperate story of two parents as they struggle to come to terms with - and battle against - the most terrifying ordeal imaginable: the impending death of their child. The book examines their coping mechanisms and pits the power of dreams and ancient mythology against the data driven world of science; forcing them to confront painful, suppressed family secrets and, through their differences, work together if they are to save the one thing that is most precious to them.

Once Upon a Nightmare
Nightmares and Dreams are actual creatures who invade human minds as embodied fears and joys. But with the new BlissMax pill (guaranteed to give you good dreams all night!) the Nightmares are starving. Violet doesn't use BlissMax (or any modern niceties, thanks Dad), and one night, a Nightmare—the fear of hell—enters her enticingly un-medicated mind and gets trapped. Though Violet has a penchant for creepy things, having a Nightmare stuck inside her mind causes problems: narcolepsy and yet further distance from reality, to name a few, not to mention the Nightmare begins to starve in the wake of fresh human fear. In a misguided attempt to get him home, she gets dragged into the city of Nightmares, Halloweentown on steroids. Once there, it becomes apparent the Dreams and Nightmares hate each other and getting back (alive) only tips the list of growing complications.Complete

What happens when the Greek god of dreams grows tired of his job? Easy. He trains his replacement so he can finally quit. But on a routine dream inspection, Morpheus runs into Gwen-Stacey Reynolds, a regular mortal whose dreams are anything but, and like her dreams, Gwen-Stacey is funny, outrageous, and has the uncanny ability to see right through him. Morpheus will spend his final days with Gwen-Stacey and in her dreams, he'll discover what he's been missing all this time. Dreams may not be reality, but this jaded dream god is about to find out that true love can find you anywhere...even in your dreams. **Copyrighted Material: God of My Dreams (Formerly titled: I Only Date Superheroes) Copyright © Wendy Nelson 2012 All Rights Reserved.

Cursed Ones
**This is the second part to 'In Your Arms'. Please read it first.** Nova and Vulcan. Twins brought into the world when a human and monster fell in love. One of them blessed with good looks, the other cursed with a horribly disfigured face. But the children's appearances are not the only thing the two don't have in common. Nova is kindhearted, merciful, and possesses a soul so sweet- others are easily drawn to her. Vulcan, on the other hand, is mischievous, brooding, and seems to be the only one of the two who carries powers he inherited from his otherworldly father. Despite living in a sheltered environment, the twins, along with their mother, enjoy their lives together...but times are soon to change. Word of a dark prophesy is spreading. It is said there will one day be death on a massive scale, brought upon many by a very powerful being.
