Sometimes the Bad Boys are the Good Guys

Mouth, Echo and Sharp Locke are identical teenage triplets who live in the magical world known as The Dea. They also fashion themselves as Master Thieves. After getting a job to steal a mysterious item from one of the richest men in The Dea, they realize what they've actually stolen is an ancient relic that many mercenaries, governments, air pirates, and monsters greatly desire.

This eight episode short fantasy fiction series follows the brothers as they run from danger, encounter all sorts of colorful characters and visit some of the most spectacular and sometimes dangerous places in their world. The secrets they unlock will have great impact on a future that is uncertain.

This is the first introduction into the imagination of writer KC Hunter. In a sense, this is a prequel to the upcoming Dorian Delmontez five book series which will debut in late 2017.

"It was the kind of morning that made him wonder if God hated the Irish..."

Dublin has been on a knife-edge since the failed rebellion in July, and Jimmy O'Flaherty suspects a newcomer to The Liberties - Kitty Doyle - is mixed up in it. She accuses him of spying for the English, and he thinks she's a reckless troublemaker.

All Jimmy wants is to earn enough coin to buy passage to America. But when the English turn his trading patch into a gallows, Jimmy finds himself drawn into the very conflict he's spent his whole life avoiding.

"Liberty Boy is a riveting tale of an overlooked rebellion, told from the perspective of the streets, with gifted dialogue that is more heard than read and unexpected twists that leave you breathless from first page to last." - Cindy Vallar, Historical Novel Society Review.

Rose Cooper leads a scientific team to conduct research into the Clans of remote and rugged Planet Kratak. The Clans live in massive Keeps build directly into the heart of the forbidding mountains. The Krataks don't trust these visitors from the Allies. They suspect the scientific team represents the first survey team scouting the planet for possible domination. When one of the team turns up missing, Rose finds herself in possession of a dangerous secret that could tear her whole world apart.

Rose must balance her role as Commander of the team even as she falls head over heels for the powerful, dominant Rohn Harkniss, the rugged second son of Planet Kratak's warlike Clans. He upsets everything she knows about her people, her mission, and herself. He takes what he wants, and when he sets his sights on Rose, nothing can change his mind.

Can she bring all the pieces of the puzzle together before it's too late? Will she be lost forever from the world she knows, or will this magical world claim her and send her spinning into a bright future of love and belonging?

A reluctant debutante turned crackerjack cop, Skip Langdon’s big, she’s strong, she’s smart and rebellious, she knows everyone in town, and, over the objections of her snotty Uptown family, she finds she was made for the job. (Probably because of her own outlaw tendencies.) Follow this remarkably bold, and refreshingly human New Orleans detective as she tracks a serial killer and takes down the Grinch who almost stole JazzFest.

AXEMAN'S JAZZ

What's the perfect killing field for a murderer? A place where he (or maybe she) can learn your secrets from your own mouth and then make friends over coffee. A supposedly "safe" place where anonymity is the norm. The Axeman has figured it out and claimed his territory—he's cherry-picking his victims in the 12-Step programs of New Orleans.

JAZZ FUNERAL

Skip Langdon is there when Ham Brocato, director of New Orleans Jazzfest, is discovered dead on the kitchen floor in the middle of his own party the evening before the Fest. The victim's sixteen-year-old blues musician sister has disappeared, and Skip suspects that if she isn't the murderer, she's in mortal danger from the person who is.

Daniel’s temporarily stepped into the shoes of his murdered cousin, former Sheriff Mac Allen. Before it's over, of course, he's going to need her services—both investigative and psychic.

A hip is not the only thing new for George.

The ancient space dwelling race known as the Anisari have come to Earth to retrieve their property: the alien known as The First who has taken refuge there. Aided by his fellow alien companion, the powerful Talin and his living AI unit Ursa, The First has spent his time on Earth becoming its defender and champion. But once the Anisari arrived, even his incredible powers were not enough to defeat the alien armada. Fighting at his side is the human woman, Maura Riley. She was the first person on Earth to come into contact with the super alien when he crash landed on the planet. That exposure altered Maura's DNA, giving her fantastic abilities that forever changed her life. Maura quickly found that even her newfound super strength, and her newly forged alliance with a handful of humans who had also been altered by the introduction of the alien nano technology that was released into the atmosphere when The First crash landed, may not be enough to defeat the invaders who are bent on destroying the planet and completely erasing all traces of it from existence. Maura and her companions find themselves working for an off the books government agency that wants to protect America from the invading horde, but also wants the secrets of the alien technology for themselves. The government is in a race with foreign countries, and giant technology firms that also want those secrets. Maura and her friends are beset on all sides; opposition comes from above and within as they battle their old nemesis, the rogue agent Nia Neely and her sinister, secretive bosses, as they race against time to find a way to stop an alien invasion, and save the earth itself. Unsure of who she can and cannot trust, Maura must rely on her wits and the incredible abilities gifted to her by her acceleration, in order to keep herself, her loved ones, and her home world, safe.

So, you think I have it all? Yes, I'm Giacomo Conti, the billionaire. Dark Italian good looks, sex appeal, and every woman I meet practically begging to get me into bed.
That's my world, yes.

So why am I in a loveless relationship with a gold-digging woman who cheats on me every chance she gets?
Enough is enough.
That's why I hired Norah. My sweet, beautiful, tender, delectable Norah.
It wasn't meant to go anywhere. She was supposed to help me catch my cheater of a girlfriend and her abusive ex, in the middle of their affair.
But it went so much further. 

I was hired to protect her, not make her scream my name.

From dodging bullets in Afghanistan to working for the Secret Service when I got out of the Marines, I know danger pretty well.

Or I thought I did. That was before my latest assignment came with a whole new kind of danger.

Her name? Ruby.

She’s the gorgeous-as-hell, opinionated, spitfire daughter of Senator Burgess. Her family’s beyond strict, but for a girl who’s so innocent, she’s anything but sweet.

Wicked green eyes, curves that beg me to touch them, and a smile that makes me think dirty, dirty thoughts.

Her father’s a nightmare — a totalitarian who rules his family with an iron fist. He decides what clothes his daughters wear, what books they read, where they can go — hell, who they marry.

Ruby can pretend with them, but she can’t pretend with me. I can tell there’s more to her than the demure southern belle she has to be in public.

But I’m a professional, hired to be her bodyguard. I know better than to fall for someone I’m supposed to protect, but with every glance, every accidental touch, every word she says to me, I just want her more.

I want to tear away the innocent good girl veneer, and make the real Ruby scream my name as she rakes her nails down my back.

It’s f*cking dangerous. If we get caught, there will be hell to pay — and it’ll be worse for her.

But I don’t think I can stay away.

Jack Larsen is a billionaire playboy trying to outrun a murder charge, and he just walked into my diner. It’s the most exciting thing to happen in this tiny town since forever, so I don’t mind flirting with the incredibly hot, incredibly dangerous fugitive, especially when he looks at me that way.

I’ve followed the details of the case in the news, and it doesn’t look good for Jack. All evidence points to him. Jack killed his father.

He doesn’t know I know who he is, of course. He tells me his name is Pete, and I go along with it. Maybe it’s foolish to be alone with him in the empty diner, late at night, but I always liked to play close to the edge.

The smoking hot man in front of me is full of a darkness I can’t fathom, but I crave a taste.

Just one night with him, that’s all I need, just a moment’s relief from this small town boredom. I willingly give in to his seduction. Soon, his breath is hot against my neck, his hands rough on my skin. It feels so good to have his body pressed against me, the fear and lust making my head spin.

That’s when I mess up.

I open my mouth and say the one word I shouldn’t.

“Jack.”

Just like everyone else in that small, remote and beautiful village, Mohammed was living a simple, happy and peaceful life with his wife and eight children. They had their own farmlands, goats and water for themselves and life was good. That was of course until a group of strangers suddenly appeared at the village and nothing remained the same again. With time, more outsiders arrived and before too long, they were almost everywhere. New settlements were built, new jobs were created and the villagers welcomed them with open arms as they were their own people. The outsiders were smart, educated and powerful people with higher connections. As they had come with well-thought-out plans and had no intention whatsoever of leaving soon, they were here to stay permanently. While the systematic schemes worked perfectly as planned, the simple and naive villagers hadn't even had the slightest clue about it, and by the time they had realized it, it was already too late. It was not only their farmlands, goats and water that were gone but also their freedom too and the next thing the villagers found themselves was being barricaded in a restricted place like caged animals. With time, the resentment, hatred and bitterness between the two sides grew in great deal and the fighting persisted on indefinitely. How the villagers fought with the superior enemy? What happened to their lands and water that were supposed to be a gift from the God? How Mohammed survived through the infighting? What happened to his goats, olive trees and family? And what happened to the hope, dream and future of those innocent villagers? What happened to their dignity? What happened to humanity? This is not only a work of fiction by itself, just take a look around yourself and you will find reality more closer than you can ever imagine! It's not only Mohammed's story anymore, it's our story!
