  An executioner and a healer are an unlikely alliance in a world newly waking to restored ancient magic, but their leadership in freeing enslaved children from magic-repressing mines in the land of Allforth is as inspiring as it is dangerous. Blackthorn’s executioner’s past comes back to haunt him as he is abducted by three Amethyne witches from the last of the three Allforth courts. Roseleigh the healer, still reeling from the passionate night with her executioner suitor, is startled when her new friend Will, a dream-world visitor to their realm, explains he was eyewitness to Blackthorn’s abduction. A playwright, Will knows that while these three ‘weird sisters’ will inspire his upcoming drama, he needs to help his new friends and volunteers his spectral presence as an emissary, to seek out Blackthorn’s whereabouts. Roseleigh and a party of colleagues set out to track Blackthorn down and along the way, the two are dreamstitched and psychically continue their passionate exchanges. 
  Blackthorn learns he’s being held captive by the Amethyne Court’s powerful but traumatized sorceress, who has been prophesied to rule over not just her own court, but all of Allforth as rot and decay spreads from years of unholy necromancy powering the mines full of imprisoned children alongside the working dead. She needs Blackthorn’s death-dealing spell to finally eliminate the royal family she’s been prohibited from harming by magical restraint. Blackthorn is well-aware that if he unleashes his death-magic in a land full of precarious countermeasures, the entire realm could be obliterated. 
  At the center of the moldering Amethyne citadel stands a tree, the last vestige of the ancient magics of the land. Blackthorn begins to concoct a plan utilizing some of Roseleigh’s healing light, magic transferred to him in their unfolding love affair. Roseleigh and her coterie draw near, advised on their path by Will the dreamer, pausing to help heal plague victims that have been sent to slow Roseleigh down and perhaps consume her light and energy with their own need. 
  An immense confrontation in the Amethyne citadel sees both Roseleigh and Blackthorn willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of the land, knowing they’ve both been unwitting pawns in royal evils, but the great and ancient tree provides a way forward and offers the last of the elder faerie magics of the land to live anew in the duality of death and life; making Roseleigh and Blackthorn the faerie royals Will had prophesied. With a return to Blackthorn’s Silvervale court, they gently but firmly depose the sitting king and offer a new, egalitarian way forward to a more just world where magic should never have been taken from them in the first place.

  In 1638, in the first age of modern astronomy, as the starts opened up to us, the scientists of the time found themselves bound into fantastical visions based on their new knowledge. This was perhaps the first 'hard' sci fi, at least based on the cutting edge of knowledge from the time.Drawing on contemporary theories of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Gilbert, the inhabitants of the Moon in this story are a tall Christian people encountered by a roguish hero who must learn of their lands, and gains items that allow the control of light, heat, and gravity. Described by Edgar Allen Poe as “a singular and somewhat ingenious little book”, it was a direct influence on Jules Verne and HG Wells.

  The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
  These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old. 
  In Megan Goes Riding, Megan and Jane’s new friend, Will, the cyclist they rescued, invites them to have free riding lessons on his parents’ local farm. Megan is keen to try riding and to meet the animals, but it doesn’t turn out exactly as she had expected. Her Spirit Guide, Wacinhinsha, explains the experiences that Megan and Jane underwent to her at a meditation session and has a smile at her expense.

  For Líf, her ability to see each person's guardian spirit had always been a double-edged sword. 
  She hated drawing attention to herself, especially by those who thought her mad, and yearned for a quiet life. That is until another upended her world. This man brought with him the warning of an invisible plague that would destroy their race and claimed that he was the only person who could prevent it, for like Líf, he also had an unexplainable gift. The problem was that he was a slave. And he was not hers to free… 
  Set against the rich and brutal backdrop of Nordic myth, The Guardian's Speaker Volumes 1 – 4 are the first part of an adult novella series which serves as a dark odyssey through the nine realms that exist around Yggdrasil, the world tree. The people are as harsh and cold as the climate that has shaped them. Those who wish to survive must fight for that right or strive to die honorably in that attempt.
