THE YEAR is 1968 and the Swinging Sixties are still swinging - though not in Ireland.
But wait! An old woman dies in a northern Irish town and her wake becomes a rendezvous for lesbians, bisexuals and political revolutionaries. And in there among them all is Jeremiah Coffey, lonely Jeremiah, an innocent abroad in his own country and hopelessly in love with the beautiful Aisling who swings both ways.
And all this in holy Ireland. Hold on to your hats!

Spellbound by Denial
In Pasadena California, in the middle of the Covid pandemic, there's a girl named Nicole or as she's more commonly known as: Nic. Despite living what appears to be a normal life, she and her mother are a rare type of magical beings called Golden Culpa. A Golden Culpa is someone who is born from a Culpa bloodline that is mixed with a Witch's bloodline. They have the power of a Culpa and they can practice witchcraft. A Culpa's power is that they radiate an energy around them that makes their targeted being feel every regret they have ever had in their life all at once. Most mythical creatures live a normal everyday life in plain sight of humans, like Nic and her mother. No one notices for the most part but those who do notice find ways to exploit the powers these mythological beings wield for their own personal gain. One day Nic's mother doesn't return from the grocery store, and she finds herself moving across state lines into her godparents' home in Winthrop, Washington. Nic finds herself dealing with her grief by impulsively deciding to go after the one person who she knows she shouldn't. No one goes after them without consequences or worse death. Especially in her case. She leaves her godparents home to begin her mission: find her mother, make her kidnappers pay. Along the way she makes some unexpected friends of other mythological beings like her and now all of them have to overcome constant moving endeavors, self-doubt, and many roadblocks ahead. There will be loathing, loss, lust, but most important of all, a girl who is way too sarcastic for her own good.

I would learn the truth about everything, and avenged the ones who needed to be avenged. So I vowed to kill the people who deserved to die. Heres how it all started. Here's how I figured out who I really was. Sweet Murder.Complete

**Coming to KU in January 2026** Sometimes fate brings you exactly what you need before you even realize it. *** Brigid Kelly has lost everything and no amount of spells or wishes stopped it. After her Gran fell ill and passed away, Brigid wasn't able to keep her grandmother's metaphysical shop going. With everything crashing down around her, Brigid buys a one-way ticket to the land of her ancestors, hoping to find solace in the old cabin where her Gran grew up. Ireland is everything she was always told it was and then some. As she sorts out the slowly declining house in the woods, she's thrust into the path of handsome Torin Boyle by circumstance. The walls she's built up around her heart are slowly chipped away as Torin reveals pieces of himself as well, opening not only his home but his heart too. Torin Boyle has spent the last thirty-odd years living in the North of Ireland, running through the rolling hills with his friends. As a pack of wolf Shifters in a country that has no natural wolves, Torin has learned to keep a tap on his inner emotions to protect those he loves. But his homeland is dying; small patches of forest turning brown and dry. When a witch appears on his family's land out of nowhere, he's concerned that the witch is to cause for what's been happening to the land. He never expected to feel pulled into her orbit so completely. Brigid's idyllic life comes to a halt when Torin's father falls ill, closely followed by other members of the Shifter's family. The land around them - the very land where Brigid's ancestors lived - is dying. If Brigid and Torin can't figure out how to fix it, she might not be the only one losing those she loves. **Trigger Warnings - mentions of hospitals and death/cancer; loosing loved ones**Complete
