In Book One, the world is created by the Essence Eternal for his sons, the Primordial Ones. But their savage conflicts soon destroy the world their father had made, leaving their children to face the sinister beings that rise up to complete its destruction. A boy-child survives, cast away by his mother into the pits of Oblivion, where he is raised by the black spirit that dwells there. Bound to hate and vengeance, he seeks to slay his parents, but finds instead a beautiful maiden trapped at the bottom of the sea.

A girl-child is born, thrown ashore on the beaches of Phantaia where she is found by a strange creature and carried into its interior, far from the forces of darkness sent to find her. In the heart of that perfect paradise she finds love with a mysterious boy that dwells there. But a mystical tree in the heart of Phantaia and the strange temptations of an enchanted pool will lead her to a greater truth she alone must face.

Phantammeron means “Book of the Forest” and is named for Phantaia, the mysterious Forest of Twilight where the One Tree and the Sacred Pool lie hidden. All of the books in the Phantammeron series will cover the mythical history of this forest, whose creation and conflict revolves around the enchanted waters of an ancient pool. The global struggle surrounding the pool and the redemption of the characters tragically affected by it is the main theme in the series.

Lillian Fields is young, talented and beautiful.

Known on stage as ‘Loraine Fontaine’; the public love her, and the critics predict a glittering future as one of Victorian England’s most celebrated actresses.

But someone wants her dead.

Scared for her safety, she confides her fears to her friend Mary, who happens to be married to Dr. John H. Watson…

When both Lillian and Mary become hospitalised, Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes must push themselves to the limit to catch the poisoner before it is too late.

They find themselves applying their powers of observation and analysis to the only clues they have: a poisoned pitcher of milk and a bunch of meticulously arranged flowers.

In pursuit of the truth, the trail leads them to Lyceum Theatre, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, Scotland Yard and even rural Hertfordshire.

Who would want to kill Lillian?

Could it be her understudy, Lily Harley, who is desperate for a leading role…?

Her old director, Harrison Colby, bitter because Lillian left his scandalous play…?

Or the elusive Mr. Henshaw, who keeps appearing in the case…?

With a list of suspects to choose from, and plenty of possible motives, can Sherlock Holmes solve The Case of the Poisoned Lilly?

Most people only wake up with hangovers after parties. Seventeen-year-old Violet wakes up with frogs falling out of her mouth whenever she speaks, and her twin sister CJ’s dripping diamonds with every word. As if starting at a new high school wasn’t hellish enough, they’ve been hit with a curse straight out of a fairy tale, with not a handsome prince in sight.

Apparently Mum and Dad don’t work for the military after all, but for a secret organisation dedicated to keeping the magical denizens of the world safely locked away. These are not the harmless fairies of children’s tales, but powerful beings with a score to settle for their long years of imprisonment. Now the barriers are failing, and if Vi can’t find answers fast the world will be overrun with vengeful fairies. And then there’ll be no happily ever after for anyone.

In the fall of 1984, Cold War tensions between Washington and Moscow are close to breaking.

But in sleepy Gainesville, Florida, fourteen-year-old Janis Graystone is mainly worried about starting high school, earning a spot on the varsity soccer team, and keeping her older sister from running her life. And then there are her paranormal experiences. Experiences where she awakens in her backyard — out of her body — with the disturbing sense that someone is watching her.

For Scott Spruel, the start of high school means the chance to start over. And he's willing to ditch everything — computer hacking, Dungeons & Dragons marathons, even his comic book collection (well, except for his X-Men) — if it means getting closer to Janis, the secret love of his life. But what about the eerie delay on his telephone, a delay he senses through powers he is only beginning to understand?

As clocks tick down, Janis and Scott will need the other's help. But first they'll have to find one another and that means traversing Thirteenth Street High's caste system — a system that can be as brutal as it is unforgiving.

This book is the sixth book in the internationally bestselling Eagle Elite Series. It's an interconnected stand alone novel with no cliffhanger.

Twenty-Four hours before we were to be married--I offered to shoot her.

Ten hours before our wedding--I made a mockery of her dying wish.

Five hours before we were going to say our vows--I promised I'd never love her.

One hour before I said I do--I vowed I'd never shed a tear over her death.

But the minute we were pronounced man and wife--I knew.

I'd only use my gun to protect her.

I'd give my life for hers.

I'd cry.

And I would, most definitely, lose myself, to a dying girl---a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place.

I always believed the mafia would be my end game--poisoning my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined. It would be my redemption.

Or the beginning of something beautiful.

The beginning of her.

The end of us.

Set the fireflies free. Send them home before God cleanses the world.

Homicide cop, Michael Callahan sees death everywhere. During the day, he protects the city from evil. At night — he is the evil. He hears the hopeless pleas, feels the last breath of the victims. He sees life fade away through the eyes of the killer. In his dreams, Michael is the killer.

But it's just dreams. Right?

The internal struggle of protector versus killer refuses to stay hidden when the dreams become reality. A serial killer, who calls himself Murmur, stalks the streets of North Carolina, searching for the "fireflies." Michael knows the victims all too well — he's killed them in his dreams.

Riddled with doubt and growing suspicions from his partner, Michael is determined to put an end to the terror — even if it means an end to himself.

The first day of Mia’s new life in Grayslake, Georgia is not going as planned. The house her grandfather left her looks ready to crumble, boxes cover every inch of the floor and—oh—there’s a bear cub in her pantry. It gets worse when the cub’s uncle comes by and busts out his fur and claws while on her front porch. Then it gets loads better because suddenly there’s a hot hunk of badge-wearing werebear on her lawn ready to rescue her. Yum. Of course, he has to ruin things by trying to take the cub out of her hands. Ha! The cub is hers… No ifs, ands, or bears about it.

Werebear Ty can’t seem to get the curvaceous, delectable Mia to understand that, even if she is one-quarter werebear, she isn’t keeping the cub. Ty is the Grayslake Itan, the clan’s leader, and the little werebear is going home with him… Unless it isn’t. It’s her smile. If she’d stop smiling and being gorgeous, his inner-bear would support him and Ty would get his way. But the beast wants to make their woman happy, so it’s perfectly content to let her do as she pleases. Then things change. Threats arise, danger comes close, and Ty demands she return to his den.

Jaxon Jennings. Cop. Homicide detective. Partner. He always had your back and rarely made mistakes.

Until the death of his son. Until the night he couldn’t save him. Until everything he held dear was taken away from him.

Now, a shell of a man, his reckless actions mark him as a burn-out. A Loner. A dangerous man whom many in the Fairfax County Police Department cannot trust. The criminals he pursues in the suburbs of Washington D. C. are nothing more than ways to bide his time until his next drink, next fix, next loss of control. His past haunts him no matter how hard he tries to hide from it.

So, when a boy’s body shows up floating under the ice of a quiet neighborhood pool, Jaxon finds himself immersed in a world where the ghosts of his past feel too close for comfort. A psychopath is using the innocent in ways that appear familiar.

Jaxon’s past is catching up with him. And the anger that seethes below the surface threatens to destroy not only his life, but the lives of a group of kids somehow connected with him. The answers are locked, frozen in the part of his past he refuses to confront. But people are counting on him. And he must do anything to save them.

Anything. Even if it costs him his life.

Interview With The Author

Q - So, what makes the Jaxon Jennings’ Thriller Mystery Series so special?

A – Jaxon’s not your typical hero. He’s flawed, and that makes him entertaining. As a reader, I want to be entertained and thrilled. I’m a fan of the Action & Adventure and Thriller genres, so it was natural for me to write in them. I’m also a lover of things that go bump in the night and I add a little creepiness just to make things interesting.

Not only will you want to keep reading late into the night, the pace and action keeping your nose in the page, but when you finally close the book, you’ll probably keep the light on as well.

“Help me…”

Q – With the main story focusing around two younger characters, is Frozen Past written for adults?

A – It’s definitely an adult book. With a Thriller, a certain amount of violence and adult material is expected, and Frozen Past definitely fits into that category. Younger readers are not the target audience of the Jaxon Jennings’ series.

Jaxon is introduced to the reader in Frozen Past, and though it is not really a prequel, he shares the spotlight with Luke and Ellie, two teenagers who find themselves thrust into a killer’s world for seemingly no reason at all. I feel the divide between the adult world and the kids’ world makes the story that much more enthralling.

Q – Should the series be read in any certain order?

A – Each book is a separate story and I wrote them to be enjoyed in any order. If you find you like to stick to a chronological timeline, I’d suggest following this sequence:

- Frozen Past
- Cache 72
- Father Figure

How much would you be willing to give up for the one you love?

Available in one volume for the first time:
The Wolves of Craigellen: Ruby Fielding's stunning Highland shifter romance trilogy - murder, intrigue and breathtaking romance in a werewolf series like no other.

Three full-length novels:

Last Alpha
He never wanted to fall in love. She never planned to let him... Jenny Layne has made a career out of investigating werewolf reports, but every case has only confirmed that shapeshifters are the stuff of legend or madness. Until now. Billy Stewart has traveled the world in pursuit of stories of shapeshifters and other strange phenomena, but the last thing he ever expected to find was love. Billy is not a man who falls easily, but when he does, it's a force of nature. As love boils over and the dark secrets buried away in the past rise to the surface, a night of murder raises the stakes yet higher. By turns passionate romance and gripping paranormal thriller, Last Alpha tells the story of two people whose paths collide with earth-shattering consequences, and asks can Beauty ever really hope to tame the Beast?

Rogue Male
She'd always known he was a bit of a rogue, but what if it was worse than that? So much worse... Skye Parker wasn't that girl. The one who chases love. The one who puts romance ahead of everything else. The one who would travel the length of the country in response to a throwaway online comment and a whole lot of wishful thinking. Until now. Iain Logan is most definitely that boy. The wild one. 'Trouble' is not so much his middle name as something engraved on his heart. He's a young man with secrets, too. Secrets that make him hold everything at a distance, even the girl who might just be the love of his life. When he finds wild wolves near his Highlands home after an absence of close to three centuries it's a chance to prove himself - if only he can get people to believe him. But as old friends rebuff him and the dark truth unfolds, Iain has some tough choices to make. Choices with life-changing consequences. It would be madness for Skye to fall for him. Dangerous. But sometimes madness is the most sensible thing of all.

Snow Wolf
Can you ever be sure of a shifter's heart? Jenny Layne has her man, but does she really have his heart? Just when Jenny needs him most, Billy Stewart has gone missing. Has she scared him away, is he in danger, or has he succumbed to the call of the wild? As the worst winter in a generation closes in, the search for Billy rapidly becomes a matter of life or death - for him, and for those who seek him. Jenny is the person most likely to find him, so why does she refuse to join the search? What does she fear even more than losing the love of her life?

Terror has come to this small town in Prairie County, Montana...

A sinister killer is on the loose. A serial killer who feeds off of young women's fear...and leaves a most unusual calling card. Police Chief Nathan Sommers is on the hunt, but every road leads to a dead end.

Nathan is battling his own personal demons as he tries in vain to cope with the death of his wife. He feels her dying was a direct result of his actions and is consumed with guilt. His personal life becomes more complicated when he meets Katie, the pretty new owner of the bakery. Nathan slowly builds a relationship with her, but still struggles with Jenny's death.

As he draws nearer to the killer, everything in his life suddenly comes undone. He is forced to deal with his feelings for Katie, as well as his love for his dead wife.

He rules a retail empire. He's worth a fortune. He always gets what he wants - until he meets her.

Stephanie Prescott has been living above the bookstore she inherited from her grandfather ever since walking away from an abusive relationship with a controlling man. The bookstore has always been her haven, now more than ever. The last thing she wants to do is sell it and move out.

But Matt King wants the store, and the man known as King to his friends always gets what he wants. This time it's more than business. It's personal. Very personal. Something happened in Stephanie's building years ago. Something that makes King want to destroy it so he can destroy the memories. Something so shocking that he can't bring himself to tell her, even after he begins to fall in love with her.

And now King must make a choice - demolish the building and lose Stephanie. Or hold onto the woman he loves and live with the painful memories forever.

A REGENCY ROMANCE WITH A DIFFERENCE

He extended his hand, and Clara looked at it, knowing that to take it meant either heaven or hell, but she had no idea which.
"Will you marry me?"
It was then that she made a terrible mistake, because she had been holding tears inside at the thought that Gabriel had ruined himself, at the thought that she could no longer be his, at the fear of losing him and at the greater fear of sinking into penury.
Clara let out a breath that was like a laugh and said, "But you must understand, I can't marry you now!"


It is 1803, during the regency of Prince John of Portugal, a man who never wanted to reign.

Clara Moreira Tavares must marry well; her mother tells her that is why she was born beautiful.
But Clara loves the handsome Gabriel Almada de Castro, second son to the Marquis de Vargas.
When the Marquis disinherits proud Gabriel for loving Clara, she must refuse his proposal, convinced that they will not be able to make their way in the world. Gabriel disappears without a word.
Four years later Napoleon is about to invade Portugal, and the regent decides to flee with his court to the biggest of his colonies, Brazil.
Clara and her family go with him, to an entirely new life in a wild, untamed country.
In Rio de Janeiro she meets Gabriel again, to find that she still loves him. This time she accepts his proposal: he has managed to amass a fortune in a very short time.
Gabriel and Clara embark toward his vast estate in the interior, but a letter sent from Lisbon will shatter their happiness, and an abyss will open between husband and wife.

A Regency Romance in which passion matters a lot more than manners.
