Real life unexplainable events from the authors.

“When we bought our house, I noticed the old owners left a large collection of vintage dolls from the early 1900s in the backyard shed, in addition to other random stuff like old wigs, dentures, and manequin heads. I made it my business to sort out the junk from the treasure.  I was planning on selling some of the nicer antique finds on Ebay.  When it started to get dark, I locked up the shed and figured I’d take pictures of everything the next morning when there was better daylight.

The actual shed. Nope, that’s not creepy at all!

When I opened up the shed the next morning, I found several of the vintage porcelain dolls were in pieces and one of the oldest, most “used” porcelain dolls was completely missing.  I couldn’t find the doll anywhere, even though I knew I left her laying on top of some of the old paintings in the shed.  I never found the doll until four months later, I was up in the attic looking for Christmas lights.  I found the doll sitting on an old box of Christmas ornaments that’d been forgotten in the attic by the old owners.  I bolted from the attic and haven’t been back up there to this day!” – Madisyn Ashmore

When wizard Addison Rhydderch goes out on a New Year’s Eve date, he doesn’t expect to end the night saving Manhattan from the undead. Afterward, he’s tasked with the duties of Regent – protector of the fragile balance between the mundane and supernatural realms. The job is easier said than done, even with the aid of Saraia, a half-dryad who’s as sultry as she is compassionate and strong. The attraction between them is immediate, powerful, and forbidden, but malevolent forces are threatening Saraia’s nature spirit kin.

Boundaries are tested as the new ruler and his companions are swept into a treacherous game of loyalty and betrayal. Addison’s office is hounded by the shadow of a dark magician who seemingly kills without rhyme or reason, a man who consorts with devils and always keeps one step ahead. Addison and Saraia, assisted by new allies, must face the demonic uprising while resisting the sparks flying between them.

Real life unexplainable events from the authors.

“It was a dark and stormy night. No, really. I was staying in an old, old college-turned-convention-center for a book convention. And of course, no old college is complete without plenty of ghost tales. I was walking across campus to my dorm/hotel room to sleep. The light above me flickered and went out as I got close, then on after I walked away. It was creepy. But not as creepy as the SCREAM, the blood-curdling, woman’s scream that tore through the night and woke me up at 2am. It was pouring rain and there was nobody outside for as far as I could see. She screamed two more times that night, each about an hour apart. The next day, nobody but me had heard anything, not even my roommate.” – Elizabeth Kirke

One thing set Lydia Shaw and her store apart from the other antique shops in town…

Lydia’s collection was plagued by curses, and it was her duty to break them.

Rachel, Angie, and Jo knew nothing about their aunt’s secret life. In fact, they didn’t even know she owned an antique shop, until they inherited it. Unfortunately for them, Lydia passed down more than just her store. The sisters are the proud new owners of countless deadly curses, buried under centuries of dust.

Lydia also left behind her apprentice, Peter. He does everything he can to protect the girls, as they explore their new store, unaware of the dangers it hides. In spite of his efforts, Rachel finds herself obsessed with opening a strange trunk, Angie has vivid dreams, haunted by a man who claims he needs her help, and Jo’s imagination starts to run wild.

 

When one of them falls victim to a curse, it’s up to Peter and her sisters to save her. But, if Peter can’t teach them to wield a magic, that he barely understands himself, she’ll be the first one to die.

“I’ve had a lot, actually. Let’s go with the one that holds the most meaning to me.

In 2008, my cousin – a United States Marine – died in a horrific car accident off-base. He was only 25 years old. I dreamed of him often in the ensuing years, and it always felt like a “visit” from him, usually corresponding to big events in my life.

Fast forward to 2014. It’s a Friday night. I haven’t dreamed of Cory in a long time. I was brushing my teeth by the light of my phone because my husband was asleep and had to work that night. I saw a face in the mirror over my shoulder, and it looked A LOT like Cory. That night, I dreamed of him, and it felt like a warning that something was coming, and a reassurance that he was there for me. When I woke up, my husband had sent me a picture of Cory’s Veteran’s Memorial glass block – I had not mentioned to my husband about seeing Cory’s face. We hadn’t talked about him at all recently. But something compelled him to visit the memorial while he was patrolling that night and send me that picture.

Two days later, my life imploded when I lost a parent to suicide.

I clung to Cory’s messages in the days that followed. I firmly believe he was preparing me and he was assuring me I wouldn’t be alone during the most traumatic period of my life.” – Heather Marie Adkins

“As a child, up until I was maybe 12 years old, at night someone would scream in my ear, then punch my back. It happened maybe once a week, maybe less, but it was often. The scream would wake me, the punch never left bruises, but it definitely scared me!” – Julie Morgan

Winner 2015 sexiest steampunk book award

Vampires. Werewolves. An unlikely love story. How do you choose who lives and who dies?

Alchemist Amelia Rimos has just discovered the cure for the Undead. Being naïve and vulnerable, she does not realize the Undead have their targets set on her.

Happening upon a tall, dark, exotic man named Michel Gauthier, he saves her from becoming a victim, thrusting her into a game of cat and mouse.

Amelia realizes being an Alchemist is not in her best interest when she befriends him. Is Michel as sincere as he seems or does he have an ulterior motive?

When her life cannot be more complicated, John Hawthorne interjects himself into Amelia’s life and shifts it completely upside down. He informs Amelia she has the key to their survival. Soon, she will realize the Undead are not the only monsters in the world…

Amelia will find herself in a desperate stalemate.

She will be forced to choose between destroying her evidence and saving the man she’s grown to love or destroying over half the population of the world, including the love of her life with it.

Note: Deadly Alchemy will only be in version 1. Version 2 will contain a short story that will be a prequel to Deadly Alchemy.
