Open your eyes to darkness. What do you see? Does the darkness frighten you? Now imagine the darkness being the cargo hold of a slave ship. Your city has fallen. Your family is most likely dead. You don't know anyone around you, and some of them aren't even human. Giving up would be so easy to do, but not for Arowyn Mason. Not after being raised in a military family with seven brothers. Every great story should begin with a plan. Aro's was to escape and to survive.

Escape comes, but at a price. As they reach the shore, Aro and the other survivors learn that freedom doesn't mean safety. The slavers want their property back and will do anything to get it. The party uses every ounce of their brute strength, a hearty helping of cunning, and even ancient magics to keep themselves alive. Sickness, danger, and even love surprise them at every turn. Dealing with danger becomes their way of life, but none of them ever considered that nothing can be quite as dangerous as a prophecy. Running turns into another race altogether as her world falls to pieces again and again.

Novel length over 70k words.

Police Officer Frank O'Ryan's knee exploded when struck by a bullet from the kid's gun. It was a junk gun, something with duct tape wrapped around the handle. It worked just fine though and Frank was going down.
His sergeant squirmed on the pavement, bleeding out from a gunshot to the chest, begging Frank not to let him die. Frank raised his weapon and fired. One round. Center mass of the suspect's chest. It was just a kid.
***
Not-Even-Promoted Detective Vic Ajax is the most hated man in his small suburban police department. The kind of cop who spends more time with drug dealers and burglars than he does with other cops, probably because he likes the dirtballs better. The brass keeps Vic down in the basement by himself, until the day Frank O'Ryan returns to work and gets ordered to be his partner.
Together, they'll take a journey into the dark heart of The Job.
Superbia is a world filled with grandfatherly pedophiles and drug zombies who hide their stashes in dirty baby diapers. It's a place where a group of rogue cops rely on an angry six-foot bunny called the Truth Rabbit for really tough interrogations.
In Superbia, doing the right thing can be a fatal career move and the bosses are more dangerous than any crook on the street. Superbia is the funniest, scariest, most brutal account of what good cops truly experience and most of the world never gets to know.

Winner, 2012 Sandy Literary Contest - 1st place - YA category

Witches inhabit our world, organized in covens and hiding behind a shroud of secrecy--the Veil.

Skye's London coven sends her to Seattle's Greenwood High to find the Singularity, an unusually gifted witch who may break the Veil and trigger a dangerous new era of witch-hunting. Things get complicated when Skye meets a charming new classmate, Drake. Skye's job becomes even trickier when she clashes with Jane, an intimidating rival witch.

Drake falls for the mysterious Skye, but odd accidents, potion mix-ups, and the occasional brush with death kind of get in the way of romance. Once he discovers Skye is a witch, he goes to war for her, even though his only weapons are a nice set of abs and a sharp sense of humor.

Fighting off wicked Jane and the other dark forces hell-bent on seizing the Singularity's immense power, Skye and Drake will risk everything to save the covens.

Going on a date has never been harder.

Why did the legendary gunfighter, Ringo, come to Boot Hill? Rumors and innuendo ignite the small frontier town. Did the wealthy rancher, Willy Gibson, hire him to combat the cattle rustlers? Was he here to even up some old grudges? Or to hunt down the men who tried to kill him?

Miss Sarah, the most beautiful woman in town, seemed in a much different mood after he checked in at the hotel where she worked. Curly Bill knew who he was, or thought he should, since they rode together for a time. Curly also remembered that around Ringo, you always watched for signs of trouble, if you were smart.

"Would you mind telling me why you're in Boot Hill, when you're supposed to be in hell?" Curly asks. Ringo glanced at him out of those cold clear blue eyes. “I came back,” he said quietly. “I got lonesome down there. Kept thinking about some fellows I should have taken with me.”

Deception in Savannah is a humorous crime novel, written in the tongue-in-cheek style of Mark Twain.

A prominent physician, driving while intoxicated, kills a pedestrian in a late-night hit and run accident.  The only eyewitness is a would-be entrepreneur with attention deficit disorder. He also has a photographic memory, but his memories surface randomly and quickly slip back beyond his conscious grasp. His instincts as a street hustler keep him from coming forward, especially since he can't quite focus on what it is that he needs to tell the authorities.

The driver's casual reaction to the accident is a tipping point in his rocky relationship with his business partner and long-time mistress.  She decides to break off their relationship and demands a large cash settlement for her interest in their bogus diet clinic in exchange for her silence. Her blackmail scheme lands them in trouble with the clinic's major investor.

Unbeknownst to them, the investor is a drug king-pin using the clinic to launder money.  Confused by the antics of the mistress and her alcohol-addled, porn-addicted lawyer, the mobster thinks that his empire is under attack by an unknown rival.  His lethal attempts to eliminate the imagined threat to his business are frustrated by chance and the incompetence of his subordinates.

Eventually, the police find the somewhat befuddled eyewitness, who finally stumbles across his clear but misplaced recollection of the accident, and everyone's carefully laid plans begin to unravel with comical results.

When a man discovers the body of the long-lost Messiah, he fears her very presence might incite a holy war. When she wakes up, he is certain of it...

Nathan Rook never had much use for faith. As a soldier in the last war, he witnessed first-hand the devastation wrought by the ageless religious schism so deeply dividing his country. But when he discovers an ancient coffin and finds a living, breathing woman inside, he believes he may have stumbled across the greatest discovery in history - or the greatest hoax. From her ceremonial dress to her elaborate tattoos, the mysterious woman is the perfect incarnation of the Messiah, and she wields a power that defies the very laws of magic. There's just one problem: she doesn't remember anything, not even her own name.

As he strives to restore her memory, Rook realizes it might not matter if she is the genuine Messiah or not. Once word of her discovery gets out, every faction in the city will seek to claim her legendary power as their own. Together they struggle to evade a mad prince, a renegade general, and a power-hungry senator, but Rook has yet to confront the biggest problem of all: he is falling in love with her.

Join in the epic fantasy adventure praised for its gripping action, seamless world-building, and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. The Shattered Messiah Trilogy begins with THE LAST GODDESS (145,000 words).

The adventure continues with Book Two, THE LAST EMPRESS, available now!

Can things between them ever be the same again? Or will their love be the war's most tragic casualty?

From the international bestselling author of War and Peace and The Bible, The Man Book was written by men, for men, demystifying what it means to be male, and explaining how to go about the ugly process with confidence and style. Men will find its revelations and tips refreshing and inspiring. Women will want to projectile vomit and call an exorcist. You can't please everyone, and The Man Book doesn't try. It tells it like it is, in a humorous and unflinching manner. The Man Book is more than one of the funniest books of the year. It is a cry for freedom, a song of emancipation, a declaration of independence - it defiantly proclaims, "We are men. We will be heard. We will no longer be marginalized or oppressed. You gonna drink that?"

Not suitable for underage readers. Contains controversial material. Do not read near an open flame or combine prescription painkillers with alcohol while reading, unless you're really bored or sad or something, or feel a little bloaty or misunderstood.
