  A Standalone Droseran Saga Novel 
  She's determined to prove this errant king unworthy. He's determined to prove her wrong. 
  Under attack from without and within, Jherako teeters on the brink. Vaanvorn Thundred, suddenly in possession of a throne he never expected to inherit, will do anything to pull his kingdom from the edge, even if it means striking a marriage bargain with the formidable Faa’Cris. But a skycrawler opens Vorn’s eyes to realities outside his world, and his limits are tested. 
  Lady Valiriana has one goal when she is sent out from Deversoria: prove this Jherakan king, the one his people call the Errant, unworthy of an alliance with any Faa’Cris. When she exchanges her freedom for that of another, Valiriana finds herself under house arrest—in the king’s house. Determined to take advantage of her proximity, she delves into the depths of the king’s character. What she finds turns her mission on its head. 
  Vorn must decide: break a planet-wide Accord, risking his throne and life, or leave his country—his planet—vulnerable to threats far bigger than he ever imagined. And Valiriana grapples with unpalatable truths as she discovers the king is anything but errant, while her heart, on the other hand, is a different story.

  For generations, Hollywood has attracted all sorts of dreamers―and then has slowly crushed their aspirations. Elliott Gross is one such case; fresh out of college, he moved west from New York with hopes of writing for the silver screen and living a life of fame and fortune. A couple of years later, he's writing for an adult magazine and living in a garage. The year is 1994 and, with the rise of the internet, the era of print pornography is in its twilight, but Raunchy's owner has enough "catch-and-kill" secrets in the vault to ensure that his power will persist as long as his silence remains valuable. 
   
   
   
  When Gross is sent to write a profile on the company's newest starlet, he discovers that she has vanished seemingly without a trace. To find her, he embarks on a twisted journey through a business both seedy and carnivalesque. Rumors of a sensitive VHS tape held in the vault, which may hold the secret to Crystal's whereabouts, stir around Elliott and he stumbles into a corpse. Before his search can be concluded, Gross's position is terminated. Then he washes up at a celebrity-anchored New Age wellness brand and discovers a world far darker and more cruel than the porn industry. 
   
   
   
  Behind Sunset is a comic and noir-tinged tour through Tinseltown that uncovers darkness and lightness, in equal measure, from the most unexpected of sources.

  Trapped between two wars—one on the sea, the other in a land untouched by time. 
  When American shipbuilder Bowen Tyler survives a German U-boat attack during World War I, he finds himself on an unexpected journey to the uncharted island of Caprona—an ancient world lost in time. Dinosaurs roam the steaming jungles, primal tribes battle for survival, and evolution itself seems to twist and accelerate with every step. 
  Stranded with a crew of enemies, a mysterious and beautiful woman, and a submarine that's both lifeline and prison, Tyler must fight to survive not only prehistoric horrors but the darker instincts of man. 
  The Land That Time Forgot is a thrilling pulp adventure of love, war, and survival at the edge of the world—a gripping blend of science fiction and high-stakes exploration from the master of adventure, Edgar Rice Burroughs.

  Wanda Jefferson, vampire/werewolf hybrid and (very) reluctant temporary PTA president, reporting for duty! 
   
   
   
  I'd do anything for my two precious babies, Olivia and Sam, including whip up batches of cupcakes late into the night for their annual bake sale at the Paranormal School for the Gifted. And if I have to endure the most insufferable, controlling, bossy-pants PTA president in all of existence who goes by the name Neerie Lincoln—so be it. 
   
   
   
  Except today, Neerie's a no-show, leaving me in charge of the event. Neerie's sister claims she's been missing for two days. When she begs me and my besties, Nina and Marty, to put our fledgling detective skills to work to find her, we're reluctant. 
   
   
   
  Of course, Neerie has also left a recently disgruntled ex, a loser baby-daddy, and a long line of horribly mistreated people in her wake. 
   
   
   
  Oh . . . and have we mentioned Neerie's absolutely obsessed with conspiracy theories? And the human groups devoted to them? Yep. The suspect pool just got a whole lot bigger. 
   
   
   
  Diving headlong into Neerie's crazy world of nutball conspiracies, Nina, Marty and I thought we'd seen every form of weird during our various Accidental adventures. 
   
   
   
  We were SO wrong . . .

  Jerome K Jerome - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
