If you like the idea of Xena meets Mad Max, you'll love the action-packed adventures of The Malja Chronicles - a post-apocalyptic fantasy, starting with
The Way of the Black Beast

"I was hooked from the opening line, blown away by the detail and mesmerized by the characters ... I think I found myself a new favorite author!" - Brandi Salazar, Fictitious Chronicle

In a world destroyed by the abuse of magic, one woman fights all odds to survive and find the answers behind her mysterious past.

Despite the challenges - crazed magicians, guitar-playing assassins, mutated beasts - she pushes on with a single-mindedness that may destroy all she holds dear.

"...an unusual and powerful novel of betrayal and revenge, loss and redemption. With a unique and compelling protagonist, a world of darkness and wonders, and a narrative that is both swiftly-paced and unpredictable, THE WAY OF THE BLACK BEAST is sure to entertain." - David B. Coe, Crawford Award-winning author of the LonTobyn Chronicle

The adventure continues in
The Way of the Sword and Gun

"This book convinced me that I actually do like fantasy!" - MH Grigsby, reader

Malja and her companions face a self-made ruler obsessed with taming the destructive magical energies pulsing from a place known as the Library.

But magic this powerful can do more than destroy. It can unlock a path toward the desires Malja buries in her heart. Desires that may tear her from those she cares for the most.

Ghosts and mystery more your thing? Check out the Max Porter paranormal mysteries, starting with
Southern Bound

"Southern Bound gets it right! A great blend of ghosts and gumshoes. If you like haunting mysteries, you'll love Southern Bound!" - Edgar-nominated author, Joel Goldman

It was supposed to be a new beginning - good job, good pay, and a lovely home in North Carolina.

But when Max Porter discovers his office is haunted by the ghost of a 1940s detective, he is thrust neck-deep into a world of old mysteries and dangerous enemies.

One in which ghosts, witches, curses, and spells exist. One in which a simple research job can turn deadly.

Want an all-out survival tale on a mysterious alien planet? Action-packed science fiction fun is waiting for you in
After The Crash

"A good, solid story" - Robert A. Metzger, Nebula-nominated author of Picoverse.

The job is simple - land illegally on the unspoiled planet Cicora, drop off two aliens and a human, collect the pay, and go home to life as a tourist pilot. Oh, and ask no questions. But when Fiona Quinn's ship crashes, she is stranded on a strange planet with a gorruff, a mahtree, and a man. And all she has is questions.
