  Youngest sister Grace Fairfield is the family rebel. Fun-loving, clever, and creative, she elevates rebelliousness to an art form, often resulting in chaos in Dark Hollow. When Grace is assigned her first Hex Support case at a haunted amusement park, she’s thrilled to revisit her beloved stomping grounds from college. Unfortunately, the case involves an employee found dead on an expensive new rollercoaster that's supposed to bring in enough revenue to prevent the park’s closure. Grace needs to act fast: if she can solve the case by Halloween, there's still a chance the new rollercoaster can open in time to save the park from bankruptcy. There is, however, one teensy complication in the form of Luke Brookstone, an old flame who worked at the park with her during college breaks. Even more distracting: he's human and knows nothing about the magical world. Despite their chemistry, Grace knows that a relationship with a human would be met with nothing but disapproval by her witchy ancestors. Then again, when was Grace Fairfield ever one to fall in line? The clock is ticking on the fate of the amusement park, as well as Grace's reunion with Luke. Can she stop the killer in time to save her beloved park, or will it all go downhill from here?

  Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by hunters intent on murdering her, she constructs a body using a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. However, the hunters chase Shesheshen out of her home and off a cliff. Badly hurt, she's found and nursed back to health by Homily, a warmhearted human, who has mistaken Shesheshen as a fellow human. Homily is kind and nurturing and would make an excellent coparent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen's eggs so their young could devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, she realizes humans don't think about love that way. 
   
   
   
  Shesheshen hates keeping her identity secret from Homily, but just as she's about to confess, Homily reveals why she's in the area: she's hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Shesheshen didn't curse anyone, but to give herself and Homily a chance at happiness, she has to figure out why Homily's twisted family thinks she did. As the hunt for the monster becomes increasingly deadly, Shesheshen must unearth the truth quickly, or soon both of their lives will be at risk. And the bigger challenge remains: surviving her toxic in-laws long enough to learn to build a life with, rather than in, the love of her life.

  In the Days of the Comet

  "The world was changed. The air was changed. The hearts of men were changed forever."
  
  Willie Leadford is a young man consumed by the bitterness of the English class system and the heartbreak of a lost love. As the world teeters on the brink of a devastating global war, a mysterious comet with a tail of glowing green gas brushes against the Earth's atmosphere. But instead of destruction, the "Green Vapor" brings a profound psychological transformation. In an instant, the old world of jealousy, greed, and conflict is swept away, replaced by a clarity of thought that allows humanity to rebuild the world as a paradise of cooperation and reason.
  
  From Grime to Glory: The novel is unique in its structure, beginning as a dark, "Potteries" style drama of industrial England—filled with smog, social inequality, and personal vendettas. Wells meticulously paints the portrait of a "vile" old world to make the subsequent transformation all the more startling. It is a powerful exploration of how much of our "human nature" is actually a byproduct of our environment.
  
  A Radical Social Vision: In the Days of the Comet is perhaps Wells' most provocative work, challenging traditional views on property, labor, and even romantic relationships. By removing the "fog" of irrational passion and prejudice from the human brain, Wells invites the reader to imagine a world where common sense is common practice and the "Great Change" starts within the individual soul.
  
  Witness the end of the old world and the dawn of the new. Purchase "In the Days of the Comet" today and see the world through the Green Glass.
