What happens when a pixie outcast seizes the Faerie throne… but her beloved prince becomes a wanted criminal?
Sassy pixie Calla loves the prankster life. Sure, her trickster ways irritate other fae. In fact, some elves want to exile Calla from Faerie. But then, everything changes. Why? Calla’s magic erases an evil blight on the Faerie realm, and so the pariah pixie becomes something unexpected: a Fae Queen.
Yet no sooner does Calla take the crown than a new and unstoppable plague appears. Things get even worse when Calla’s longtime crush, the elf Prince ‘Dare’ Darius, appears to have masterminded the outbreak before fleeing to the mountains. According to the Faerie elders, there’s only one way to end this disease…
Calla must hunt down Dare and destroy him.
Yeah. Like that will ever happen.
Instead of killing anyone, Calla vows to cure the plague while proving Dare’s innocence. And if she must pull a few mega-pranks to make it all happen? Not a problem. Even so, the path ahead is still fraught with trouble. Secret enemies scheme to manipulate the outbreak—as well as Calla’s feelings for Dare—in order to bring our favorite prankster down, once and for all.

Big news in Pixieland! The Blue Fairy is sending our fave pixie, Calla, and her crush, Dare, on a mini-quest. Unfortunately it’s an adventure that requires a lot of togetherness. We’re talking tons of touching, people.
Blue believes that since Calla and Dare are just friends, then this situation shouldn’t be awkward.
It’s totally awkward.

Get SCYTHE for just 99 cents on Apple Books
May 13-23, 2020
SCYTHE (Dimension Drift Book #1) is only .99… and that’s an Apple Books exclusive being promoted on their US, Australia and New Zealand sites! Lock in your savings today at Apple Books!
BONUS: It’s all to celebrate the launch of ECHO ACADEMY, Book #4 in the Dimension Drift series!
About SCYTHE
The Dimension Drift Series, Book 1
I’m Meimi Archer, your regular high school science geek for hire. Sure, it’s dangerous to create high-tech gizmos for a criminal overlord called the Scythe, but it keeps Mom and me safely off-grid. Ever since the Authority took over the United Americas, you either live inside a domed city (where you’re watched 24-7) or you scrape by on illegal money while hiding out in the sticks. Guess what category I fall into?
Long story short, everything’s fine until I screw up a job. Badly. My home slips into two-dimensional space-time. It only lasts for a few seconds, but the move still sets off about a dozen government alarms. If they track me down, Mom and I are good as dead. Now I need to pay someone off, hide the evidence, and keep us safe. Fast.
That’s when a hottie named Thorne materializes in my kitchen. He’s about my age, wears black body armor, and says he came to “this version of Earth” from another planet. We share a bizarre mind-meld moment before he vows to do anything that ensures I survive.
Hey, I’ll take all the help I can get. Plus, Thorne has dimples…

ECHO ACADEMY Is Here!
NOW LIVE: ECHO Academy (Book 4, Dimension Drift Novels)
TO ORDER: Amazon / Googleplay / Apple Books / Kobo / B&N
“Miss Meimi is indeed a transcendent,” says Father.
“But we differ on a single point, son. SHE’S MINE.”
A Prince Of No Value
On planet Umbra, Thorne is known as the weak prince, extra brother and human-shaped punching bag for his father, Cole, Emperor of the Omniverse. Thorne never expected to find his transcendent soul mate. But when the prince connects with Meimi Archer, the human girl becomes Thorne’s transcendent and his world…
…until Cole decides to abduct her.
Now the prince of no value will do anything to protect what’s most precious. Meimi.
A Girl Geek With A Problem
Science prodigy Meimi Archer attends ECHO Academy, an elite high school located under Earth’s Boston Dome. That part is cool. Then she finds herself separated from her boyfriend, Thorne, due to a supposedly unbreakable exile void. Not okay.
Meimi pulls together a band of classmates and misfits. Her goal? Break through the exile void. Her problem? Headmaster Conway, the man who runs ECHO Academy. Conway wants to use Meimi’s exile void annihilator for an invasion of Umbra. Meh. Meimi’s not worried–she’ll take the Headmaster down while still reuniting with Thorne, easy peasy. Only trouble is, who’s that shadowy figure following Meimi everywhere? And why does it feel like Umbra may actually be invading Earth somehow?
In ECHO Academy, secrets are revealed, plots uncovered, and transcendence is only a few pages away. Don’t miss this jam-packed adventure of 40,000+ words.

Reader Question – Dimension Drift Roadmap
Dear Readers,
I recently received a new question through Goodreads and thought I’d share it here as well in case others are wondering the same thing.
Here goes!
CB
The Reader Question…
Dear Christina, I just started reading the Dimension Drift Series and I absolutely love it. With that said, can you tell me how many books are going to be in this series please, or is Echo Academy the last book? I look forward to hearing from you. God richly bless you.
The Short Answer…
At this time, I don’t plan any additional books in the Dimension Drift series. ECHO Academy is the last.
The Long Answer…
Every time I begin a writing session, I whisper the following words: open a doc and open a vein. This reminds me to leave a real part of yourself on the page. It isn’t always easy, but it’s the job. Along this line, some novels simply require more life’s blood than others. Writing in the voice of Myla from Angelbound is less mental wear and tear than Elea from the Beholder Series. Not sure why, but there you have it.
Dimension Drift is a tough series to write.
By now, you might see where I’m going with this. Normally, I have the next book in a series ready for preorder before I launch the current novel. For Dimension Drift, the next book after ECHO Academy was supposed to be called Drift Warrior. I’ve got a title and honestly? Nothing else. So that’s what I call red flag situation right here. Methinks I’m a little burned out on this series.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I hope to have two more books in the Dimension Drift series, namely one for Justice-Zoe and another for Slate-Chloe. But Business-Me told Writer-Me that it’s okay to wait until I’m mentally ready to write them.
And yes, I do have internal conversations like that, even when I’m not locked in a house for days on end as part of a global pandemic.
Long story short, I hope you agree with Business-Me on this one. Writer-Me will revisit the adventures of Thorne, Meimi and their buddies as soon as possible! When that happens, I’ll be honored for you to join the journey. In the meantime, thanks for your question and interest in my work. Please know that although Dimension Drift is on hold, I am continuing the Angelbound, Pixieland and Magicorum series.
That said, I’m always open to reader ideas and suggestions… feel free to post here or email me at cbauer@monsterhousebooks.com!

Angelbound KAPS – Coming June 30th!
SEE KAPS ON: Amazon / Googleplay / Apple Books / Kobo / Nook
Angelbound Offspring Book #5 is here June 30th. It tells the real story of Kaps, who has a secret existence that’s lived out with comic books and super-powered enemy Nazis because that’s how things roll in the after-realms.
Check out the updated description below…
“At last, I shall punch my first Nazi. Even better, the guy’s also a shape-shifting vampire of the Audax, so that really counts as a double Nazi.” – Kaps
Meet Kaps: renegade, dragon shifter, and general pain in her parent’s backsides. Although born a royal, Kaps loves hunting down dragon artifacts. This angers the Audax, who are nothing less than shape-shifting vampire Nazis.
Good thing Kaps has always wanted to punch herself an Audax.
Bad news is, there are even more evildoers angry with Kaps. The L’Griffe, AKA the shifter mafia, want the same relics that Kaps is after. More often than not, our girl beats them to the prize. In short order, Kaps ends up with a price on her head.
A bounty hunter named Mack comes to collect. Although he’s human, Mack knows all about shifter ways. And what he lacks in shifting power he more than makes up for with a lethal combination of looks, strength, and smarts. After luring the princess off with an epic kiss, Mack slaps some supernatural handcuffs on Kaps, tosses her in a van, and heads off to L’Griffe headquarters with his quarry.
The reality that Kaps is dragon royalty doesn’t bother Mack in the slightest. Neither does the fact that the Audax are on their trail.
But that kiss might be a problem, though…
SEE IT ON: Amazon / Googleplay / Apple Books / Kobo / Nook
“I am super intrigued by Kaps! She is independent, snarky and adventurous, and just a hint jaded. I can’t wait to see what terrible mischief she finds herself in during her own book!” – Smada’s Book Smack

Reader Question – Angelbound Roadmap
Dear Readers,
I recently received this question through Goodreads and thought I’d share it here as well in case others are wondering the same thing.
Here goes!
CB
The Reader Question…
Dear Christina, I absolutely love the Angelbound Origins Series and the Angelbound Lincoln Series. With that said, I just want to know if the series ending, or are you planning on making more books. If so, do you have an estimate of how many more books are going to be in each series before it concludes? I look forward to hearing from you. God richly bless you.
The Short Answer…
So glad you enjoy the series! I currently do three Angelbound releases a year: one for Angelbound Origins, one for Angelbound Lincoln and one for Angelbound Offspring. In all honesty, I don’t see myself stopping writing Angelbound Origins and Lincoln stuff any time soon. Offspring may go on a pause starting in 2023.
The Long Answer…
Right now, my plan is to write three more Angelbound Offspring books, namely KAPS in 2020, Huntress in 2021 and Scala Heir in 2022. After that, methinks I’ll take a break and do two Lincoln books and one Origins book each year. My goal? Catch up to where every Origins (Myla) story is followed by a Lincoln story that happens right after in terms of action. At this point, the timelines aren’t in sync and I would like to fix that, but I need to catch up on Lincoln stuff to do it.
Below please find the list of releases in each Angelbound series for the next few years!
