The Irish Within Us

In spring 2016, newly retired Kara leaves her home in Canada to rediscover her grandfather’s ancestral village on the north coast of Ireland. She is quickly captivated by Ballybeg’s rural beauty. David arrives in the village with his eyes fixed on a huge development deal, which would wipe out the area’s charm. Imogen is a conservationist who keeps herself apart from the villagers because of an old family scandal. The three clash over a reputedly enchanted grove on the townland of Lisnasidhe that generations have left untouched out of respect for the fairy inhabitants. In Ballybeg, everyone has their opinion and no trouble in sharing it.

House of Flame and Shadow

Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded in a strange new world, she’s going to need all her wits about her to get home again. Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he’s in the Asteri’s dungeons again, without a clue as to Bryce’s fate. He’s desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri’s leash, his hands are quite literally tied.

Wolves of WInter

1347. Bruised and bloodied by an epic battle at Crécy, six soldiers known as the Essex Dogs pick through the wreckage of the fighting—and their own lives. Now a new siege is beginning, and the Dogs are sent to attack the soaring walls of Calais. King Edward has vowed no Englishman will leave France ’til this city falls. To get home, they must survive a merciless winter in a lawless camp deadlier than any battlefield. The Dogs are being torn apart—but this war is far from over. It won’t be long before they lose more of their own. From a vast siege camp built outside Calais’ walls, to the pirate ships patrolling the harbor this captivating and darkly comic story brings the fourteenth century vividly to life.
