Once upon a time, before the Brothers Grimm, when fairytales were romantic fantasies for entertaining adults and frightening children…

Three twisted tales inspired by the classic fairytales…for adults who still love reading fairytales, though they’re a little darker now, making that happily ever after so much sweeter.

Epic eco-fantasy from the award-winning author of The Troubadours Quartet

One misfit girl and 50,000 bees against the might of the Citadel.

Mielitta, a despised servant of dubious parentage, yearns to be an adult and fit into Citadel society but the all-powerful mages won’t even consider her for the Maturity Test. As they fight amongst themselves, Mielitta overhears their secrets and plans to escape.

Bastien and Jannlou, the boys who terrorised her as a child, have grown into their status as Mages and she cannot escape them forever.

In desperation, she flees to the forbidden Forest and its dangerous attractions. Her scent angers thousands of bees and, although she survives their attack, she has changed. As a bee-shifter, Mielitta sees the world differently.

This bond works both ways and the bees need Mielitta’s help as the rift widens between Forest and Citadel. Can Mielitta find the fulfilment she craves or will the Mages crush every cell of her second nature?

Block Nature out and she’ll force a way in.

Confused and forlorn, the princess returns to the castle in Dragon Ash, where she blacks out again… only to awaken covered in the queen’s blood. Escaping justice with the sole witness to the queen’s murder, a blacksmith who is in love with the decoy, the princess embarks on a quest to regain her lost memories, prove her innocence, and locate the missing woman.

Dogged by her budding feelings for the blacksmith and fear over who she might really be, the princess must find her decoy and unravel the secrets of their past. But will a mysterious magic invading their world compel her to kill again before she can uncover the truth?

Mythical creatures are real, and the world is just finding out.

Discovering that your neighbor was once an evil, blood-sucking fiend tends to bring property values down.

Katrina Darling’s only real friend has been murdered. And not just murdered—ritually sacrificed by a serial killer. Kat is sure more death will follow. She should know … she used to be the monster plunging the blade in.

Trouble is, after three hundred years of being a vampire, Kat has forgotten what it means to be human.

One thing she does remember is that friends matter.

Now she’s determined to find whoever—or whatever—killed her friend before more victims surface. But just as the hunt begins, a mysterious young man discovers exactly what she was.

Kat has a decision to make: Run and keep her monstrous past hidden, or avenge her friend and save the city from a merciless serial killer.

If you like the Dresden Files, Mercy Thompson series or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you’ll be helplessly addicted to the Mortality Bites series.

Except. . . who is really invading whom? High in orbit above Vasquez, a sentient vegetable studies the planet it had seeded and sculpted centuries before, laying it out as a world-sized garden. Now, returning to inspect the progress of its work, it finds its art has been tainted by the intrusion of crop grids, farm buildings, and people, all of which must be purged if the garden is to endure.

When a narrow escape from a local gang lands him in worse trouble on the estate of a powerful ruler, his choice is simple: serve or die.

Sure he is doomed, he turns his punishment into an opportunity, impressing the lord with his determination and intelligence.

Training under mystic master fighters, Kirrin quickly becomes a deadly instrument. And driven by his ambition, he’s assigned increasingly dangerous crimes to develop his cunning and push him to his limits.

But a simple mission goes terribly wrong and he may be trapped in the evil lord’s bid to fulfill a dark prophecy.

Can Kirrin find a way through the web of power and deceit to save his life?

The saga continues, as best-selling author, Mike A. Arroyo, unfurls the next in the series, Chronicles of Rylie Glen: DISSENsion. Their temporary victory over Luka, ruler of Casselberry, feels more like a defeat. Circumstances, fears, and desires separate the group, making them alone and vulnerable.

Spies in Bon Abbi unleash their nefarious plans, and the deadly arrows of an assassin. Unexpected alliances will alter the outcome, but will it be enough? Would you challenge the Dogs of Orrimorn to save someone you love from the precipice of death? How would you overcome your darkest fears?

That’s what Evelyn Miller must decide. One choice and the destinies of her friends are changed. Forever.

Join the band of misfits — and Ena the Dragoon — in this fast-moving epic adventure contained in the Chronicles of Rylie Glen.

“Tonight, a choice must be made. You might as well be the one to make it!” – Theotello, Chronicler

A dangerous job, a pair of pint-sized familiars on her shoulders, a crush on a constellation … No wonder Theo Apollonia’s relationship status just says, “It’s complicated.”

Snarky thief Theo Apollonia has life figured out: steal priceless artifacts—pay off her debts.

But when she and her familiars, Simon and Garfunkel, take on their most dangerous heist yet, they find themselves on the wrong side of a powerful crime boss …

A job for a banished demigod goes sideways…

Now Theo must take on powerful mythical guardians, warring gangs and an underground arena where constellations and mythical creatures battle to the death.

First rule of mythical Fight Club: everyone dies.

More is at stake than just the lives of her and her friends or even enslaved mythological beings.

If not stopped, the world will wake to a dark new day … and an even darker new god.

Theo has a decision to make: Run to protect herself and those she loves, or fight in the slim hope that she has what it takes to stop the apocalypse.
