  The seventeenth novel in the magical alternate history Elemental Masters series follows Amelia Stonehold and Serena Meleva as they navigate property acquisition, marriage proposals, and other ancient horrors in Regency England, but with the help of elemental magic 
   
   
   
  The year is 1815, and an American, Miss Amelia Stonehold, has arrived in the Devon town of Axminster, accompanied by her "cousin" Serena Meleva. She's brought with her a list to tick off: find a property, investigate the neighbors, bargain for and purchase the property, staff the property and . . . possibly . . . find a husband. But Amelia soon finds herself contending with some decidedly off-list trouble, including the Honorable Captain Harold Roughtower, whose eyes are fixed on her fortune. Little does Amelia know that his plans for her wealth extend far beyond refurbishing his own crumbing estate—they include the hidden Roman temple of Glykon, where something very old, very angry, and very dangerous still lurks. 
   
   
   
  But Roughtower isn't prepared to reckon with the fact that neither Amelia nor Serena are pushovers. And he certainly isn't ready for the revelation that he has an Earth Master and a Fire Mage on his hands—or that one of them is a shapeshifter.

  Hunting a serial killer through a simulation controlled by Nazi-influencers. DEVIL IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT is an adult cyberpunk psycho-thriller set 100 years in the future.2120: Texas has seceded from the union and become a mecca for white supremacists. After a century of war, environmental strife, and 'the 2nd Dark Age,' the New Reich is the leading world power via control of the insidious Animus Civitas technology — a simulation that mesmerizes the mind while drawing energy from the body's central nervous system. Millions languish in 'the Siv' caught hopelessly in indentured-streaming contracts to the richest influencers of the New Reich while their families watch their bodies wither in the Real. A fledgling hero, the last Heir-Architect, joins the Siv to find an unexpected inheritance waiting for him and begins a war to rescue all people stuck in mental slavery. Horror takes hold of the simulation when a serial-killer begins recreating crimes from the past, their victims inexplicably dying in the Real — corpses set in a twisted grin that is the killer's grisly calling card.

Thank god she has her enigmatic vampire lover, Absolon Stavig, to help show her the ropes.
