(Extra) Ordinary
Ricki and Ezra have been friends forever. But things are changing. His world is shifting.
17-year-old Ricki has a lot of things:
- A great best friend
- Perfect pitch (and stage fright!)
- Less than a year left of high school
- An unnecessary amount of large hoodies
- Strange fears
- An average life
Things are the same day after day for Ricki. That isn't a problem for him, not really. It's not like Ricki likes change anyway. He doesn't mind being ordinary.
But other things seem to be amiss. Ricki's parents are disagreeing more often. Ezra is becoming withdrawn and distant. After an encounter with a mysterious hero, supernatural things that he can't comprehend haunt him day after day.
What's Ezra up to? What's happening?
Is Ricki as ordinary as he thinks?

Oath Bound
When a bloody coup overtakes the royal capital of Mahijen, young crown prince Jyran is forced to flee with the aid of his sworn knight, Zahir- who sacrifices himself to ensure the prince's safety.
Alone and frightened, the naive prince quickly finds himself crossing enemy lines into Ahjuwal- and caught up in the hands of a barbarian general who seems far too interested in his new slave.
Captured in Mahijen, Zahir is desperate to find the missing prince. Hearing that an envoy from Ahjuwal will arrive for the coronation, Zahir sees his chance to escape, and puts his fate in the hands of their warrior king.
Though they walk separate paths, Jyran and Zahir are no less connected by the bonds they swore to as children- and as they find their way in a new world, it is with the hope that one day they'll be reunited, and can salvage the memories of their broken family.

Denzai
Book 2 of the series "A Song in the Darkness" - Sequel to "Darkwalker"
*****
Tarriq Zar, grandson of the famous Ranger of Londinium, has some serious responsibilities laid on his shoulders. The notoriously insular Darkwalker has a new apprentice and the beginnings of a plan to get the failing life support systems for the sub-city replaced. Not to mention the revelation of his status to the Denzai, who now are beginning to look up to him as a societal leader as well. And none of his new responsibilities comes with a plan to help him deal with his own wildly unstable emotions.
On the plus side, he has new allies. Fourteen year old Kellen is firmly in Tarriq's corner and shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with. Annika Surazi, the Chairman of the sub-city, is definitely on board. And Larqissa, the grandmother Tarriq thought deceased, is supporting him fully.
The problem is that none of these positives are helping Tarriq find the stability he desperately craves when all of them are trying to pull him in different directions. All of which are also pulling him firmly out of his comfort zone. And he's about to find out just how bad it can get.

Only Human

Vampire - Castle of Blood
Vampires:
These people feed on blood. From the blood of animals, but also the blood of humans. Humans live freely in the kingdom, but they have to give their blood as part of their taxes. Well, this is not a story about humans living among vampires. No.
The two sisters Franka and Coletta are 'suddenly princesses' after their mother remarries. How will the lives of the young vampire girls change?
Jasmin lives in a small town on the border with the werewolves. Her family looks down on humans. What happens if the vampire girl befriends a human?
(This is a short spin-off novel to my 'WITCH' novels. The story takes place many years before Julia's adventure begins. The short novel can be read as a stand-alone book.)

The Ravening
I had no idea why the panicked witches marked me at first.
But it didn't take me long to realize I'd been sacrificed to assuage the hunger of an insatiable incubus. A man sentenced to haunt the world as a demon with a ravening hunger for human women.
He won't leave me alone.
How can I escape someone whom I can't even see, until he's inside me? I can't touch, until he's already feeling me. No one can see him but me.
I can't make him stop. And the longer this goes on the less sure I am that I want it to.
