    "... a wild ride sure to please lovers of supernatural historical mysteries." – Publishers Weekly 
    Thousands of exhibits. Millions of visitors. One fiendish killer. 
    Neva's goals at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago are simple. Enjoy the spectacle—perhaps the greatest the United States has ever put on (the world's fair to end all world's fairs!). Perform in the exposition's Algerian Theatre to the best of her abilities. And don't be found out as a witch. 
    Easy enough … until the morning she looks up in the theatre and sees strangely marked insects swarming a severed hand in the rafters. Before she can scream, the bugs drop and swarm her. 
    And every one of them seems to have a stinger. 
    They strike fast—it only takes them a moment to inject her with so much venom that the same strange marks begin to rise on her skin. She's horrified, but there's worse to come: once the insects disperse, a Columbian Guard notices her rashes and warns that five people with similar sores have been murdered and dismembered. Before they died, the victims also seem to have lost their minds. 
    Neva considers fleeing the exposition. But that won't stop her from going mad. So she marshals her powers and searches for the killer. 
    Within hours, it becomes clear he's searching for her too. 
    An intricate story with a breakneck pace, Witch in the White City blends history, mystery, and magic in a way that will appeal to fans of The Devil in the White City, The Golem and the Jinni, and Black Leopard, Red Wolf.

    James Hargrove is a math teacher who loves order, formulas, and the neat precision of his classroom. But when summer break arrives, James finds himself adrift in time and space, far from the structured world of equations he knows so well. Meanwhile, his wife Mei—a Chinese teacher with a love for poetry and pandas—embraces the season with passion, spending her days at the zoo, marveling at the simplicity and charm of her favorite black-and-white creatures. 
    In a dusty attic, James stumbles upon an old typewriter and unexpectedly discovers a new passion—writing. What begins as a whimsical hobby quickly evolves into The Algebraic Adventures of Archimedes Jones, a tale of a mathematician-turned-adventurer who uses his knowledge of equations to navigate magical worlds. As James pours his heart into creating realms where logic meets fantasy, he learns to let go of the rigid rules that once defined him, and to embrace the joy of imagination. 
    Mei becomes his greatest supporter, offering encouragement, inspiration, and plenty of suggestions—like adding a panda who knows calculus. Through their contrasting interests and shared love for each other’s passions, James and Mei discover new depths in their relationship. As his stories gain a small but devoted following, James learns that storytelling can be as powerful as teaching, and that sometimes, the most meaningful mysteries are those that can’t be solved with numbers alone. 
    Filled with warmth, humor, and a touch of romance, The Algebraic Adventures of Archimedes Jones is a heartwarming story about finding magic in the mundane, the beauty of contrasts, and the joy of embracing life’s unexpected adventures. It’s perfect for readers who believe that there’s room for whimsy in even the most practical lives, and that sometimes, the most profound equations are written not in chalk, but in love and laughter.

    What you know about vampires is what we want you to believe. 
    The stories of vampires were created to distract you from the truth… It's banshees that are real, and they secretly live among mortals. 
    I’m Qadira Quinn. As a half-fairy, kick-ass Hunter living with a clan of banshees, you'd think I'd be safe. But when one of our enemies figures out what I am, I’ll have to fight for my life... not to mention the lives of countless mortals. 
    Our sadistic foe is bored with his mortal-trafficking ring and now wants to create a superhuman race... using me as his lab rat. I’ll need to end him before he gets that chance. 
    And I'm falling for a guy I probably shouldn't, but fated mates are really hard to resist. Especially when he’s a sexy-as-hell, powerful banshee. As the passion between me and the leader of my clan grows, so do my innate abilities. 
    Abilities that will far exceed anything I'd ever dreamed. 
    When I gain full control over these stronger powers, anyone who comes after me, or those I love, will be in for a world of hurt.
