Summary

While sailing on a new sloop, two men are kidnapped...not by modern pirates, but by a strange creature that looks remotely like a Portuguese Man-of-War. Scooped up with a bubble of air, the sloop and crew are transported to the planet Mars. The Galactic Federation, it seems, is hiring. And you don't get to say no when you are recruited for a job on Mars...

    'Losing your head' just got a lot more literal. 
    Green witch Rhianne Alkenn has her hands full with not one, but two puzzling cases. A leak of confidential information threatens the Moonshadow pack, putting her best friend, incubus Nel, in a tight spot! And the elven Queen's best friend has been murdered. Rhianne's hoping to solve the murder and quickly, because the phrase 'Off with her head' is playing on repeat in her mind! 
    With the help of the enigmatic coroner Isobel, and her tech mage boyfriend Kai, Rhianne sets up to find out the truth. 
    Her mission? Clear Nel's name and keep her head firmly on her shoulders. Sounds simple enough, right? What could possibly go wrong?  
    Note: While part of a series, Pack of Lies is standalone — written in Australian English and set in the magic city of Sydney. 
    If you enjoy books by Helen Harper, Heather G. Harris and Kim Harrison, then you’ll love this riveting urban fantasy story with a touch of humour and romance.

    "HE CAME TO WASHINGTON FOR BRRRRRRRRAINS. NO WONDER HE'S STILL HUNGRY. The undead have risen from their graves, and society hangs by a thread. But America's political parties aren't going to let a little thing like the zombie apocalypse get in the way of a presidential election. There are nasty whispers about the incumbent, though, and they have nothing to do with where he was born. The rumor: He's dead. Could a zombie be running for President? It's up to ace Washington Tribune reporter Jan Woods to find out. Cadaver in Chief, the new novella from New York Times bestseller Steve Hockensmith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls), follows Woods on her search for the truth...a search that puts her up against the most dangerous ghouls in Washington. Oh, and zombies, too."

    When Earth Reigned Supreme . . .  
     
     
     
    With the Milky Way galaxy engaged in a life-or-death struggle against the evil Sol-Kor Colony, Adam Cain and Riyad Tarazi are given the chance to end the war once and for all: Travel into another universe and assassinate the Queen of the Sol-Kor. If their mission succeeds, it could end the war with a single stroke, saving trillions upon trillions of innocent creatures from the ravenous, flesh-eating invaders. If not . . .  
     
     
     
    Even though the prospects are good for a surprise strike against the Queen, it's what happens afterwards that has the mission planners guessing. Yet regardless of their chances to make it back alive, the importance of the mission outweighs any personal considerations. This willingness for self-sacrifice is what creates heroes, so Adam and Riyad agree to lead a team of elite special forces into a strange universe they know very little about, and against the most-powerful being to ever exist. 
     
     
     
    Of course, that was before the Humans came along . . .  
     
     
     
    Needless to say, once the team makes the leap into the Sol-Kor universe, there's no rest for the wicked.
