      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Fantasy and science fiction Adventure&lt;/p&gt; - Kendra Merritt</image:title>
      <image:caption>Books have been Kendra's escape for as long as she can remember. She used to hide fantasy novels behind her government textbook in high school, and she wrote most of her first novel during a semester of college algebra. Older and wiser now (but just as nerdy) she writes fantasy and science fiction with characters who have disabilities. If she's not writing, she's reading, and if she's not reading, she's playing video games. She lives in Denver with her very tall spouse, their book loving progeny, and a lazy black monster masquerading as a service dog.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Seventeen-year-old Merry has mucked up another chance to get into the University, so she doesn’t have time to deal with shape-changing creatures bent on stealing memories from the people of Woodshire. That’s her father’s job. But when an outlaw mage mistakes her for a damsel in distress on a drenched train platform, she’s dragged into the fight between mad sheriffs and monsters. She’d never admit it out loud but the mage is actually kind of fun to work with – when she doesn’t want to run him over with her chair. And he’s exactly the ally she needs when the monsters go after her father’s memories. But with bad guys who can look like friends and friends who look like outlaws, Merry has to decide who to trust as she races to return the stolen memories of those she cares about most.</image:caption>

However, when Brynn’s placid routine is disrupted by knick-knacks come to life and some unexplained magic, she enlists the help of the boy next door and finally gets the chance to see what’s under his bashfulness.

      <image:title>A Mark of the Least Novel - The only one who can free him is the girl he hurt the most…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cursed for a youthful accident which maimed a young woman, Léon Beauregard roams his mountain as a bear, clinging to the scraps of his humanity. Too bad it’s not working. Every day he loses a little more of himself to the bear and his stupid fuzzy tail. But when Léon comes across Anwen, an enchanter scarred from an accident she doesn’t remember, she promises to free him, because she believes no one deserves this sort of punishment, no matter their crime. As the graceful enchanter tries to free him, Léon begins to realize Anwen is much more than just a passing enchanter. She’s the one he’s falling in love with. And she is the one whose life he ruined. He knows he must hide his part in Anwen’s past if he wants to keep her, but when bodies show up mauled by a large animal, even she begins to doubt his ability to be redeemed. With his heart, soul, and humanity in the balance, Léon has more to hide and everything to lose if Anwen ever learns the truth about the monster inside him.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Crippled from a childhood illness, Cindy lives in the kitchen fireplace, ignored by her noble father and his new, perfect family, helping the people no one else notices. But when he dies under mysterious circumstances, Cindy’s step-mother coerces her into an elaborate plot to avoid being charged with murder. Meekness is nothing new to Cindy, but now she has to lay low in the royal court of Valeria where a prince is rumored to be bride shopping. She'd be fine, if that prince would just stop following her around. But Prince Nikolas has seen more than Cindy's limp. He's seen that she's clever and observant. And she's just the right person to help him fight a blood mage that threatens the very foundation of Valeria. If only she believed that she was worth fighting for, too…</image:caption>

When her past follows her to her new home and she meets a quiet, studious boy who might be the key to unlocking her true self, she realizes she's done running from her ghosts.

      <image:title>A Mark of the Least Novel - It’s impossible to bury your past when everyone carries a shovel.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The people of Namerre both love and fear the Reaper, a ruthless vigilante with a strict moral code. When the law fails, he hunts down those who have done wrong and makes them disappear, from blood mages to corrupt judges. Until now, eighteen-year-old Kallan has been the one to do Reaper's dirty work. But no more. She wants to catch criminals the right way, and after telling her employer to take a long trip in a leaky airship, she joins Namerre's police force. Growing up in a world of thieves and killers has left Kallan with debilitating anxiety and a past she can’t talk about—unless she wants to be arrested before she graduates. But when a serial killer stalks the streets, leaving victims dressed as brides, Kallan has to decide if it’s worth risking her future to seek help from the man who taught her to murder.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Mark of the Least novel - Every step from the path leaves another scar…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nothing terrifies the people of Ballaslav more than a crimson cloak. It marks a blood mage, someone who cuts and even kills for a terrible type of power. Eighteen-year-old Reyna doesn’t want to know why there are blood mages walking openly on the streets. She doesn’t want to get involved with the ones who have traded their souls for magic. She just wants to get home before someone realizes she should be wearing the red, too. But when Reyna joins a caravan headed toward her home, she makes friends she can’t afford to keep—not with her arms covered in scars. Too bad you can’t escape your past when you carry it with you. She arrives home only to discover that one of her mistakes has followed her, threatening her family and friends to bring about another bloody epoch. Now her choices might destroy everyone she loves, unless she can figure out how to leave behind the things she’s done and drag her future from the grasp of the blood mages.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Mark of the Least Novella - Can a magi learn to embrace a power that destroyed the whole world?</image:title>
      <image:caption>It has been ten months since the Darkness lifted and the eclipse that toppled civilization ended. The mighty Vemiir Empire that once stretched from coast to coast, now lies in ruins. Aurelia’s family is all she has left. They surround her with love, they fight to protect her, but they do not understand her. No one does. No one but another magi would. And as far as she knows, she might be the last of those. Magic was the downfall of the Empire, but magic is all Aurelia has to offer in this new world. A magic that her family fears and misunderstands. All she can do is hide it, bury it, and forget it and everything she went through to earn it. But the world is dangerous now, as well as full of possibilities. And Aurelia can’t help the feeling that magic not only has a place in it—it could be the key to learning how to survive, to grow, and to thrive in a world that’s been made completely new.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fairytales with a twist - Rolling around in the worst fashion accessory ever…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Seventeen-year-old Merry has mucked up another chance to get into the University, so she doesn’t have time to deal with shape-changing creatures bent on stealing memories from the people of Woodshire. That’s her father’s job. But when an outlaw mage mistakes her for a damsel in distress on a drenched train platform, she’s dragged into the fight between mad sheriffs and monsters. She’d never admit it out loud but the mage is actually kind of fun to work with – when she doesn’t want to run him over with her chair. And he’s exactly the ally she needs when the monsters go after her father’s memories. But with bad guys who can look like friends and friends who look like outlaws, Merry has to decide who to trust as she races to return the stolen memories of those she cares about most.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cursed for a youthful accident which maimed a young woman, Léon Beauregard roams his mountain as a bear, clinging to the scraps of his humanity. Too bad it’s not working. Every day he loses a little more of himself to the bear and his stupid fuzzy tail. But when Léon comes across Anwen, an enchanter scarred from an accident she doesn’t remember, she promises to free him, because she believes no one deserves this sort of punishment, no matter their crime. As the graceful enchanter tries to free him, Léon begins to realize Anwen is much more than just a passing enchanter. She’s the one he’s falling in love with. And she is the one whose life he ruined. He knows he must hide his part in Anwen’s past if he wants to keep her, but when bodies show up mauled by a large animal, even she begins to doubt his ability to be redeemed. With his heart, soul, and humanity in the balance, Léon has more to hide and everything to lose if Anwen ever learns the truth about the monster inside him.</image:caption>

But when he dies under mysterious circumstances, Cindy’s step-mother coerces her into an elaborate plot to avoid being charged with murder. Meekness is nothing new to Cindy, but now she has to lay low in the royal court of Valeria where a prince is rumored to be bride shopping. She'd be fine, if that prince would just stop following her around. But Prince Nikolas has seen more than Cindy's limp. He's seen that she's clever and observant. And she's just the right person to help him fight a blood mage that threatens the very foundation of Valeria. If only she believed that she was worth fighting for, too…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The people of Namerre both love and fear the Reaper, a ruthless vigilante with a strict moral code. When the law fails, he hunts down those who have done wrong and makes them disappear, from blood mages to corrupt judges. Until now, eighteen-year-old Kallan has been the one to do Reaper's dirty work. But no more. She wants to catch criminals the right way, and after telling her employer to take a long trip in a leaky airship, she joins Namerre's police force. Growing up in a world of thieves and killers has left Kallan with debilitating anxiety and a past she can’t talk about—unless she wants to be arrested before she graduates. But when a serial killer stalks the streets, leaving victims dressed as brides, Kallan has to decide if it’s worth risking her future to seek help from the man who taught her to murder.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Fairytales with a twist - Every step from the path leaves another scar…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nothing terrifies the people of Ballaslav more than a crimson cloak. It marks a blood mage, someone who cuts and even kills for a terrible type of power. Eighteen-year-old Reyna doesn’t want to know why there are blood mages walking openly on the streets. She doesn’t want to get involved with the ones who have traded their souls for magic. She just wants to get home before someone realizes she should be wearing the red, too. But when Reyna joins a caravan headed toward her home, she makes friends she can’t afford to keep—not with her arms covered in scars. Too bad you can’t escape your past when you carry it with you. She arrives home only to discover that one of her mistakes has followed her, threatening her family and friends to bring about another bloody epoch. Now her choices might destroy everyone she loves, unless she can figure out how to leave behind the things she’s done and drag her future from the grasp of the blood mages.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adventure fantasy - They’re only badass by accident…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola might be new to this whole adventuring thing, but she’s pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to save the day. No one at her academy wanted an orc as a paladin, so they’ve sent her to the back end of a swamp, hoping she’ll never find a quest good enough to earn her shield. Well, screw that. Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting. Armed with a new mission to find some missing orphans, Vola just needs a team to help her track them down. Beggars can’t be choosers but couldn’t her goddess have sent her at least one competent fighter? Now she’s stuck with a hyperactive halfling, a klutzy spell caster, and a cloaked mystery who’s a little too good with their knives. Can a half-orc paladin keep her new party alive in a swamp that’s determined to eat them, or are all the naysayers right and Orcs really can’t be heroes?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adventure fantasy - When the dead rise…don’t call these guys.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola, Sorrel, and the others have managed to bring down Lord Arthorel, their first big bad guy, but unfortunately, they didn’t get paid. That’s what happens when you arrest your employer. They need some fast cash if they’re going to track down the slaver Lord Arthorel was selling his people to. But the adventuring scene in Brisbene is a lot more crowded than the swamp, and they’re stuck with the leftover jobs no one else wanted. Picking flowers and exterminating rodents isn’t paying the bills. When they manage to snag a choice assignment to find a missing adventurer, things start looking up. That is until some of Sorrel’s old friends show up to steal their contract. And it turns out their missing person might be in the hands of a necromancer. Now the dead are rising, their competition is closing in, and it’s turned into this whole thing. Well, at least fighting rude monks and rotten zombies is way better than picking flowers…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Now that they have an employer, one who is a princess no less, Mishap's Heroes can look forward to a nice steady gig smack in the middle of the most civilized city in Southglen. No more running around, scrambling after petty villains. Or so they thought. Vola and the others barely make it to the city before they learn there's treason afoot and as the Dagger Throne's new problem solvers, Mishap's Heroes had better come up with a plan quick before enemies of the Throne take a bite out of the princess's power. Unfortunately it's not just traitors they have to worry about. This is Lillie's hometown and now Vola's going to find out first hand who's been hunting their wizard. And why.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adventure fantasy - Whoever said you can’t go home again?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she's been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield? Does she even know? Cut off from her goddess, Vola tries to distance herself from Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon, to protect them from her mistake one last time. But the only place she can think to retreat to is the last place she ever wanted to go. Home. Now she's got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup. And that's just the opportunity that comes waltzing into her parents' cottage. But Vola's not a paladin anymore. Is she still worth anything without her goddess to back her up?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adventure fantasy - It just had to be dragons this time…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola, Talon, and the others may have gotten rid of Inga, but there's an even bigger bad guy out there stealing magic out of the land and its people. Luckily the Dagger Princess has a lead, and now the team's headed to Firewatch, home of the great slumbering dragons. Just like the one that killed Talon's pack so long ago. Talon might not be interested in revenge but she's determined to keep her new family from meeting the same fate as her old one. However, that's going to be harder than usual. Someone is draining the magic out of the land itself, leaving dead spots in the desert. Maybe a big bad someone. Can Vola, Talon, and the others track down the magic thief before whoever it is wakes the dragons? Failure is not an option when cranky fire-breathers can cause the end of the world...</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vola, Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon know their enemy now. And it's time to take the fight to Anders. But they're going to need some help if they're going to keep him from sucking all the magic out of the world. This is a war for everyone. But why would anyone work together when they can fight among themselves? Vola has her work cut out for her to keep the peace between all their allies when no one wants to listen to a black paladin. And the worst culprits are the gods. Anders has already proved he can drain the Virtues themselves but none of them are willing to give up their own autonomy to meet the threat. Vola is convinced a unified and healthy pantheon is the key to beating Anders, but even the Broken doubts it's possible. And how do you fix a broken goddess?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adventure fantasy - It all had to start somewhere…</image:title>
      <image:caption>In a remote village, a teenage half-orc searches for a purpose for her blade and a goddess who believes in her. In a mountaintop monastery, a halfling monk struggles to win a test of strength and loyalty. In a beautiful city, a shy spell caster uncovers the rotten heart of nobility and pays the price for honor. And in a lush valley, a young hunter learns revenge can burn as hot as dragon's fire. These are the stories that started it all. See the Mishap's Heroes before they became the iconic team that saved the world. With a bonus chapter featuring everyone's favorite swamp monster! Note: This is the adult version. There is no Youth Edition at this time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book One&lt;/p&gt; - They’re only badass by accident…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola might be new to this whole adventuring thing, but she’s pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to save the day. No one at her academy wanted an orc as a paladin, so they’ve sent her to the back end of a swamp, hoping she’ll never find a quest good enough to earn her shield. Well, screw that. Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting. Armed with a new mission to find some missing orphans, Vola just needs a team to help her track them down. Beggars can’t be choosers but couldn’t her goddess have sent her at least one competent fighter? Now she’s stuck with a hyperactive halfling, a klutzy spell caster, and a cloaked mystery who’s a little too good with their knives. Can a half-orc paladin keep her new party alive in a swamp that’s determined to eat them, or are all the naysayers right and Orcs really can’t be heroes?</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book Two&lt;/p&gt; - When the dead start to rise…don’t call these guys.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola, Sorrel, and the others have managed to bring down Lord Arthorel, their first big bad guy, but unfortunately, they didn’t get paid. That’s what happens when you arrest your employer. They need some fast cash if they’re going to track down the slaver Lord Arthorel was selling his people to. But the adventuring scene in Brisbene is a lot more crowded than the swamp, and they’re stuck with the leftover jobs no one else wanted. Picking flowers and exterminating rodents isn’t paying the bills. When they manage to snag a choice assignment to find a missing adventurer, things start looking up. That is until some of Sorrel’s old friends show up to steal their contract. And it turns out their missing person might be in the hands of a necromancer. Now the dead are rising, their competition is closing in, and it’s turned into this whole thing. Well, at least fighting rude monks and rotten zombies is way better than picking flowers…</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Now that they have an employer, one who is a princess no less, Mishap's Heroes can look forward to a nice steady gig smack in the middle of the most civilized city in Southglen. No more running around, scrambling after petty villains. Or so they thought. Vola and the others barely make it to the city before they learn there's treason afoot and as the Dagger Throne's new problem solvers, Mishap's Heroes had better come up with a plan quick before enemies of the Throne take a bite out of the princess's power. Unfortunately it's not just traitors they have to worry about. This is Lillie's hometown and now Vola's going to find out first hand who's been hunting their wizard. And why.</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book Four&lt;/p&gt; - Whoever said you can’t go home again?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she's been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield? Does she even know? Cut off from her goddess, Vola tries to distance herself from Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon, to protect them from her mistake one last time. But the only place she can think to retreat to is the last place she ever wanted to go. Home. Now she's got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup. And that's just the opportunity that comes waltzing into her parents' cottage. But Vola's not a paladin anymore. Is she still worth anything without her goddess to back her up?</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book Five&lt;/p&gt; - It just had to be dragons this time…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola, Talon, and the others may have gotten rid of Inga, but there's an even bigger bad guy out there stealing magic out of the land and its people. Luckily the Dagger Princess has a lead, and now the team's headed to Firewatch, home of the great slumbering dragons. Just like the one that killed Talon's pack so long ago. Talon might not be interested in revenge but she's determined to keep her new family from meeting the same fate as her old one. However, that's going to be harder than usual. Someone is draining the magic out of the land itself, leaving dead spots in the desert. Maybe a big bad someone. Can Vola, Talon, and the others track down the magic thief before whoever it is wakes the dragons? Failure is not an option when cranky fire-breathers can cause the end of the world...</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book Six&lt;/p&gt; - It’s time to finish this fight…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola, Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon know their enemy now. And it's time to take the fight to Anders. But they're going to need some help if they're going to keep him from sucking all the magic out of the world. This is a war for everyone. But why would anyone work together when they can fight among themselves? Vola has her work cut out for her to keep the peace between all their allies when no one wants to listen to a black paladin. And the worst culprits are the gods. Anders has already proved he can drain the Virtues themselves but none of them are willing to give up their own autonomy to meet the threat. Vola is convinced a unified and healthy pantheon is the key to beating Anders, but even the Broken doubts it's possible. And how do you fix a broken goddess?</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Survival Science fiction&lt;/p&gt; - Who is Ren Arlo?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Anikka has survived her first six months on Daybreak and made the harsh planet her home. She knows how to avoid megawings and eats slasherfins for breakfast. She even has BB again, the integrated AI who doesn't remember trying to kill her at all. But just surviving isn't enough anymore. Anikka made a promise to herself and to the colonists that she would find them and keep them alive through Daybreak's energy storm.  She and BB set off to find the missing colony, heading into parts of Daybreak they've never explored before. But when they finally find them, they aren't as lively as she and BB had hoped. Anikka can revive exactly one of them, and she picks Dr. Carver, the one who has the best chance to help her save the others. Except the labels were wrong. Now she's stuck with Ren Arlo, a random electro-tech who has nothing to do with Dr. Carver. Or does he? He must have been in Dr. Carver's place for a reason, even if he can't remember it. Anikka races to find out why Ren is important and if he can help her save the others before the next energy storm breaks them all.</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Books in the Eldros Legacy Shared Universe&lt;/p&gt; - Some treasures are better left buried…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Godsblighted. That’s what the villagers call her. Even within her family’s protection, Rowan has always known she was different. But now she has the chance to prove that she can protect herself. The chance to prove that different doesn’t mean cursed. Leaving behind the broken promise of her failed magic, Rowan joins her mentor in his search for a Giant’s artifact known as the Grief Draw. But finding it only adds to her problems. Because the ancient Giants were right. This lantern brings pain. Rowan’s magic might be the barest spark, but it is enough to connect her to Gavyn, a young man trapped inside the lantern after a failed attempt to destroy it. He is suddenly Rowan’s only hope for understanding the lantern before it kills again. And she is his only hope for freedom. With fanatic treasure hunters and power-hungry lords closing in, Rowan and Gavyn must figure out how to use the lantern before someone else sets off the weapon even the Giants feared.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As the victim of a magical experiment, Bex now uses her skills as a treasure hunter to keep herself and her sister safe from those who would use them. She’s learned to use everything from little lies and manipulations to the spell branded into her palm. But her sister is dying. The trinkets and spells Bex hunts down for her aren’t enough anymore. Bex needs to find something bigger. But bigger treasures come with bigger risks. And bigger lies. Rowan might be considered the foremost expert on Giant artifacts now her mentor is dead, but she’s hidden herself away to protect the world from the Grief Draw, a powerful lantern that destroys anyone who touches it. Nothing can convince her to abandon that duty. Until a charismatic treasure hunter tracks her down and tells her she’s needed to find another dangerous artifact. Rowan isn’t prepared for a trip to the distant isle of Taur, and something seems off about Bex’s story. But can she afford to say no when Humanity’s chances against the Giants might be the truth between Bex’s lies? The search will take all of Bex’s cunning and Rowan’s expertise as well as a deep trust between them. But can trust be earned when Giant magic is involved?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Rowan and Bex have been through the noktum and come out the other side stronger. They work directly for the queen, searching for Giant artifacts to help Humanity. But all of their wit and skills are tested when darkness descends across the entire continent of Noksonon. It's the beginning of a war that the Humans can't win. All they can do is survive. Luckily Rowan still carries the Grief Draw, a lantern that can push back the darkness and keep a small scrap of Humanity alive in the dark. But when a Giant out of legend comes after the Grief Draw--and anyone who has ever held it--Rowan and Bex must lead their friends and families across the continent to keep them safe. Their only hope lies in Tera, the companion they left behind on their last dig. She is a fighter and the only one among them they would trust to face a Giant. And she has ties to a legendary weapon, a final artifact hidden in a stronghold that might keep them safe.  They just have to find Tera, rescue her, and make her into a Giant killer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;A mark of the Least Novel&lt;/p&gt; - Her truth could start a war…or set her heart free.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The world has always been a bit baffling to Lysandra with its unspoken rules and unnecessary metaphors. Even magic doesn’t work the same way for her as it does for the council of mages. Luckily, Lys has always had Issy, the princess of their island nation, who has shielded Lys from the world that doesn’t quite understand her. But as a princess, Issy has new duties while Lys wants nothing more than to live quietly, protecting the islands from the storms that ravage them. But to do that, Lys will have to go to the mages and explain the impossible way she does magic. Lys can’t imagine anything worse. She’d even rather live Issy’s life for a few days. So begins the scheme that will give them both what they want. The girls trade places, and Issy goes to plead with the mages while Lys pretends to be royalty. But as soon as Issy leaves, Lys learns there’s a visiting prince and a king vying for the princess’s hand. Now she’s stuck hiding who she is with a king who is determined to start a war and a prince who is determined to see Lys as her true self. Keeping her secret might be the most important thing she’s ever done when the truth could break the fragile peace of the islands. Not to mention her heart.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Godsblighted. That’s what the villagers call her. Even within her family’s protection, Rowan has always known she was different. But now she has the chance to prove that she can protect herself. The chance to prove that different doesn’t mean cursed. Leaving behind the broken promise of her failed magic, Rowan joins her mentor in his search for a Giant’s artifact known as the Grief Draw. But finding it only adds to her problems. Because the ancient Giants were right. This lantern brings pain. Rowan’s magic might be the barest spark, but it is enough to connect her to Gavyn, a young man trapped inside the lantern after a failed attempt to destroy it. He is suddenly Rowan’s only hope for understanding the lantern before it kills again. And she is his only hope for freedom. With fanatic treasure hunters and power-hungry lords closing in, Rowan and Gavyn must figure out how to use the lantern before someone else sets off the weapon even the Giants feared.</image:caption>

She’s learned to use everything from little lies and manipulations to the spell branded into her palm. But her sister is dying. The trinkets and spells Bex hunts down for her aren’t enough anymore. Bex needs to find something bigger. But bigger treasures come with bigger risks. And bigger lies. Rowan might be considered the foremost expert on Giant artifacts now her mentor is dead, but she’s hidden herself away to protect the world from the Grief Draw, a powerful lantern that destroys anyone who touches it.

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book One&lt;/p&gt; - They’re only heroes by accident…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola might be new to this whole adventuring thing, but she’s pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to save the day. No one at her academy wanted an orc as a paladin, so they’ve sent her to the back end of a swamp, hoping she’ll never find a quest good enough to earn her shield. Well, forget that. Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting. Armed with a new mission to find some missing orphans, Vola just needs a team to help her track them down. Beggars can’t be choosers but couldn’t her goddess have sent her at least one competent fighter? Now she’s stuck with a hyperactive halfling, a klutzy spell caster, and a cloaked mystery who’s a little too good with their knives. Can a half-orc paladin keep her new party alive in a swamp that’s determined to eat them, or are all the naysayers right and Orcs really can’t be heroes?</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book two&lt;/p&gt; - When the dead start to rise…don’t call these guys.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vola, Sorrel, and the others have managed to bring down Lord Arthorel, their first big bad guy, but unfortunately, they didn’t get paid. That’s what happens when you arrest your employer. They need some fast cash if they’re going to track down the slaver Lord Arthorel was selling his people to. But the adventuring scene in Brisbene is a lot more crowded than the swamp, and they’re stuck with the leftover jobs no one else wanted. Picking flowers and exterminating rodents isn’t paying the bills. When they manage to snag a choice assignment to find a missing adventurer, things start looking up. That is until some of Sorrel’s old friends show up to steal their contract. And it turns out their missing person might be in the hands of a necromancer. Now the dead are rising, their competition is closing in, and it’s turned into this whole thing. Well, at least fighting rude monks and rotten zombies is way better than picking flowers…</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Mishap’s Heroes Book Three&lt;/p&gt; - Storming the castle doesn’t count when it’s your castle…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now that they have an employer, one who is a princess no less, Mishap's Heroes can look forward to a nice steady gig smack in the middle of the most civilized city in Southglen. No more running around, scrambling after petty villains. Or so they thought. Vola and the others barely make it to the city before they learn there's treason afoot and as the Dagger Throne's new problem solvers, Mishap's Heroes had better come up with a plan quick before enemies of the Throne take a bite out of the princess's power. Unfortunately it's not just traitors they have to worry about. This is Lillie's hometown and now Vola's going to find out first hand who's been hunting their wizard. And why.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she's been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield? Does she even know? Cut off from her goddess, Vola tries to distance herself from Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon, to protect them from her mistake one last time. But the only place she can think to retreat to is the last place she ever wanted to go. Home. Now she's got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup. And that's just the opportunity that comes waltzing into her parents' cottage. But Vola's not a paladin anymore. Is she still worth anything without her goddess to back her up?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vola, Talon, and the others may have gotten rid of Inga, but there's an even bigger bad guy out there stealing magic out of the land and its people. Luckily the Dagger Princess has a lead, and now the team's headed to Firewatch, home of the great slumbering dragons. Just like the one that killed Talon's pack so long ago. Talon might not be interested in revenge but she's determined to keep her new family from meeting the same fate as her old one. However, that's going to be harder than usual. Someone is draining the magic out of the land itself, leaving dead spots in the desert. Maybe a big bad someone. Can Vola, Talon, and the others track down the magic thief before whoever it is wakes the dragons? Failure is not an option when cranky fire-breathers can cause the end of the world...</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vola, Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon know their enemy now. And it's time to take the fight to Anders. But they're going to need some help if they're going to keep him from sucking all the magic out of the world. This is a war for everyone. But why would anyone work together when they can fight among themselves? Vola has her work cut out for her to keep the peace between all their allies when no one wants to listen to a black paladin. And the worst culprits are the gods. Anders has already proved he can drain the Virtues themselves but none of them are willing to give up their own autonomy to meet the threat. Vola is convinced a unified and healthy pantheon is the key to beating Anders, but even the Broken doubts it's possible. And how do you fix a broken goddess?</image:caption>

      <image:title>&lt;p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt;Epic Fantasy&lt;/p&gt; - Their Goddess has kept death at bay for hundreds of years. But now something worse is taking its place.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ashwyn has lived on the edge of the Devastation her whole life, watching as the deadly forest devours anyone who gets too close. Tales of the witch who guards the woods have fascinated her, but not enough to lure her into the trees. But when the Goddess leaves Her temple to make Ash one of Her Saints, the villagers accuse her of heresy and exile her to the Devastation.  Ash will need every advantage she can get to survive, even the power gifted by an untrustworthy goddess. Because under the many layers of the forest, the Devastation is hiding secrets. Secrets about why there is no death. And secrets about the Goddess who failed to defend Ashwyn. But she's not the only one looking for answers. The witch roams these woods, hunting for the truth of what broke the world, and a deaf princess trains as an elite Saint in order to track down the Goddess’s enemies.  When the three of them collide, their connection threatens to crack the foundation of faith that formed their world. And Ash has to decide if she's going to take her place as a Saint and trust the Goddess who betrayed her. Or if the voice under the Devastation is right, and she must become the heretic that her people have always feared in order to heal the rift that shattered everything.</image:caption>
