    All's fair in love and war . . . until your brother brings his bad boy, ice hockey playing best friend into your life. 
     
     
     
    Riley: I'm pouring all my savings into launching my own catering business, so the last thing I need is distraction. Even if he is six feet five inches tall, plays ice hockey, and is probably one of the most intriguing, and also maddening, people I've met. Ever. 
     
     
     
    People say he's grumpy, but to me, he's funny and kind, too. He's misunderstood and even though he's one of the most famous players coming up in the ranks right now, he doesn't feel seen by those he loves . . . and I get that. But I've got my own fears: that my dreams fail, my mother keeps rejecting me, and the big one—my fear of commitment. 
     
     
     
    Jake: Getting suspended for 'anger issues' lands me in Sweetkiss Creek at my agent's request. Licking my wounds and taking a time out sounds ridiculous . . . until I meet her. She's feisty, sassy, and fiery enough that I swear she could melt the ice I skate on. 
     
     
     
    I never would have thought I'd find solace and an unexpected ally in the person who's old bedroom I'm staying in. The last thing I want or need is to fall in love—but for some reason my heart isn't getting the memo.

    The Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich: A Comedy of Global Madness 
    Tagline: “When the World Economic Forum met Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels at a cocktail party…” 
    Welcome to the 21st century, where the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich have risen from the ashes of history to save us all from—wait for it—ourselves! But don’t be fooled; this isn’t your grandfather’s Reich. No, this is a new and improved, eco-friendly, socially conscious, gender-fluid version, and it’s brought to you by none other than our friends at the World Economic Forum (WEF). 
    You see, in their infinite wisdom, the WEF has concocted a strategy so diabolical, so preposterously brilliant, that it would make even the most ardent Nazi propagandist blush. The plan? To cause a global psychosis that will create a Civil War amongst all nations, races, and people groups, ensuring that no one ever unites against them. And the best part? They’re doing it all in the name of progress! 
    The Woke Apostles: Goebbels’ New Disciples 
    Imagine, if you will, Joseph Goebbels—the master of Nazi propaganda—reincarnated as a non-binary, vegan, climate activist with a degree in Gender Studies and a TikTok following of 10 million. Now, multiply that by a few thousand, give them all blue checkmarks on Twitter, and voila! You’ve got the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich. 
    These modern-day disciples have taken Goebbels’ playbook and updated it for the digital age. Their mission? To divide and conquer, using social justice as their weapon of mass destruction. They’re not just spreading lies; they’re redefining reality. Up is down, freedom is oppression, and biology is a social construct. And if you disagree? Well, then you’re just a bigot—or worse, a capitalist! 
    Why bother with tanks and guns when you can just weaponize anything other than the mainstream media psychosis machine and watch the world burn?

    It's hard to do the unexpected when you come from a family of seers. 
    Sibyl’s family are descended from the same bloodlines that provided the oracles in Greece. She’s even inherited the name to go with the talent. But she's just failed her prophecy exams. Worse than that, her dog has disappeared and none of her far-seeing family can find him. When her aunt prophecies that her dog has gone where he's needed most, Sibyl decides she's had enough of the seer lifestyle. 
    Setting off to seek her fortune without the benefit of predictions, she takes the first bus that comes along to her small rural hometown, hoping to make herself less visible to her family by doing unpredictable things. 
    On the journey, she'll be lucky if she avoids being bored to death by her fellow passengers, being eaten to death by dragons or dying a metaphorical death by bad poetry. And that’s not counting the terrifying driving on dangerous roads. Her travel companions include wizards, djinns, witches and werewolves. While each of them possesses potent abilities, some of them might hold the key to an unseen future. She has important decisions to make along the way too. For example, should she choose ginger slice or custard square from the bakery where the bus stops? 
    Sibyl is someone who tends to think first and act afterwards, if at all, but when she spots an elemental incursion while gazing out the bus window, she will have to do more than just think. Can she save a small corner of the world without the help of an oracle? 
    Seers and Salt is the first book in a cosy and fun new urban fantasy series set in a magical version of Aotearoa New Zealand.

    Lawnmower Chronicles is a humorous look at lawn care. Mowing the lawn sounds easy enough. Those of us with large lawns, know better. How we long for the chance to climb up on our mowers and mow worry free. Free to finish with all the belts still attached. Free to finish with all the blades in tact. And free to finish with all four wheels still on the tractor. What about two consecutive times mowing, without any mishaps? Is it even possible? Some of us can only dream.
