Want a bit of sci-fi? Maybe a sprinkling of fantasy? How about both together?

In a world cloaked in surveillance, Kesh Lasota can move unseen, making her the perfect illegal messenger. But when one of her messages kills its recipient, Kesh finds herself on the run from a creature that shouldn't exist: a warfae.

The fae died out thousands of years ago. They're myths and legends. Aren't they?

This fast-paced action-adventure series combines magic and technology, truth and illusion, romance and betrayal, and twists them all until nothing is what it appears to be.

The first book in the Messenger Series launches on March 2nd at 99¢ on Amazon & in KindleUnlimited (paperback also available).

In a world smothered by surveillance, Kesh Lasota is a ghost. Working as a messenger, she moves undetected, delivering illegal messages between Calicto's criminals. But when one of those messages kills its recipient, Kesh finds herself on the run.

Magic and tek, the fae and humans, clash in this thrilling NEW space-fantasy.


The hype is real.

Complex. Heartbreaking. Astonishing. F*cking mind-blowing.

A fabulous start to a new series, Fae, space, and courtly intrigue what could be better?!?

The writing was amazing the characters intriguing. This book has many twists and turns that will have you craving the next one.

This book was amazing from the beginning to end! I can't wait to hear what Kesh, Kelley, and Talon do next!

All I can say is You Have To Read This Book!

Unraveling the mystery of Kesh is going to be a delight - but strap yourself in because this is a wild ride!

OUT NOW.

The Messenger rocked your world, and now she's back. But have her lies finally caught up with her?

Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota. She survived life as a slave, survived the Dreamweaver's touch, but surviving Marshal Kellee and the mysterious Talen is a whole other game, one she's not sure she's ready for.

When the three are captured by a bloodthirsty fae general sweeping through the last of Halow's human colonies, the only weapons they have left are lies. And so Kesh must pretend to be the gladiator they all expect, while Kellee is forced to fight against her, and Talen is... Well, just who is Talen when he can command soldiers with a glance and move among the fae elite as though he belongs?

Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota, neither does love. She must survive both, or everything she's fought for will be lost forever, including her men.

Pre-order now at Amazon Out May 18th.

I'm back from Boston Fantasy Fest and trying to get to grips with jet lag, so I apologize now for any errors you're about to encounter. It's a miracle I can remember my own name after the nightmare of a journey back to the UK. But I am back, and plowing full steam ahead into preparations for the third Messenger book. Things are just warming up for Kesh, Kellee, Talen, Arran and Sota. The third book: The Nightshade's Touch sees our foursome starting to find their feet as a team, only to have those foundations tested as they find themselves stranded on an abandoned farming planet. Unfortunately, they're not alone. Oberon can no longer afford to ignore Kesh's actions and sends one of four elite guardians to capture her. Then there's the small issue of slaughtered farming colonies with suspicious vakaru-like wounds. Oh, and let's not forget the monsters with a single name on their lips: Nightshade.

The Nightshade's Touch is the third book in the planned five-book Messenger series and it isn't just the plot that's heating up. Kesh might be saru, but she can't resist the temptation of Talen, Kellee and Arran for much longer. If only they could get past all those pesky trust issues!

A lot of questions from the first two books are answered in Nightshade. Our heroes pasts start to be revealed, and with them, some terrible truths are exposed. Truths that will either tear the Messenger and her men apart or bring them closer together. Are their bonds strong enough?

I dive into edits this week and have it scheduled for an August release. I'll publish a date once it's more solid. This one will only be a short preorder, so make sure you're signed up to my mailing list for all the news.

Boston Fantasy Fest was an epic gathering of some of the coolest most awesomest (it's now a word) authors ever. I finally got to meet so many authors who I've friended (or they've befriended me) over the years, including James Hunter (Cataclysm, Domino FinnDead Man, Jex Lane Captive and more. It was a stellar line-up of professionals and if you get a chance to go to the next one (possibly West Coast in 2019) definitely do. There's something magical (and a little bit dark ;) ) about a room full of urban fantasy authors and these guys were so much fun to meet in person.

There's lots more happening in the Pippa DaCosta house, so don't forget to check my Facebook readers group including a first look at the next Messenger cover and exclusive character artwork.

See you there! Oh, and make sure you add The Nightshade's Touch to your shelves.

I'll just leave this here...

Coming late August! Add it to your shelves here: The Nightshade's Touch
