Fae's Envoy (Queens of the Fae...

M. Lynn, Melissa A. Craven

A fae on a mission to protect his people.
A human girl on the brink of death.
With a sentient tail and cat-like eyes, Gulliver O’Shea has always been different, and everyone can see it. Except for his best friend, the queen of Iskalt. She treats him like he matters. So, when she says jump, he flies. And when she asks him to travel through a portal to a strange human city and gather information on a dangerous group attacking fae, he… reluctantly realizes he has no choice.
He just didn’t expect he would have to bring along a sullen Toby—lost after the death of his intended—or that New Orleans would be so much more frightening than the small human farm he was used to visiting.
Gulliver’s obsession with everything human brings him face to face with a girl unlike any he’s ever met before. Sophie-Ann Devereaux. She’s kind and clumsy and… sick. So sick he knows her frail human body won’t last much longer.
The closer he gets to the humans behind the fae attacks, the more he realizes what he’s done. He’s failed Tia. Lost his mission. Become as useless as he always feared he was. Because the waitress, the one fading from this world, isn’t just a random human girl. Her father is the man Gullie was sent to find. Together with his second in command, they intend to erase the fae from their world. And they’ll resort to any means necessary to see it done.
From an accidental carjacking to an unhealthy obsession with beignets and cute human girls with blue hair, Gulliver embarks on an adventure of a lifetime in Fae’s Envoy.

Alien Invasion

Rachel Lawson

Blake Alexander stood peering out through a crack in a curtain at his son's house. He looked as nervous as he was. 
 "Why is super dork hiding in our house dork?" asked Blake's teenage grandson of his father Lance who he called dork. 
 "The men in black are chasing him," Lance said. 
 "Yeah right dork!" said Lance Jnr who didn't believe he was of an alien race let alone they were sorcerers and the fact the men in black were real was just ridiculous. 
 "He's meant to be the emperor of the solar system why doesn't he tell them to go away!" said Kristine, Lance's daughter sarcastically. 
 "I tried they don't recognize the empire," said Blake who was distracted, 
 "they're coming to the door where can I hide?"  
 There was a distant voice behind them. 
 "Dad hide here!" the voice said it was not Lance's voice but his other son's voice it emitted from a whirling dark vortex. 
 Blake jumped in it and it disappeared.

The humor and fun characters help balance the horror with great storytelling.” —Fresh Fiction
