Melisandra has taken over Oz’s kingdom and redecorated it – in red. A queen should be able to do what she wants, when she wants and to whom she wants, right? If only the magical shoes didn’t extract such a toll for all their teleportation magic.

Tam has become the assassin Lyssa accused him to be. His curse forgotten, his heart lost along with the box, life has no taste anymore. Until a king displays a “newly acquired magical object” to his guests and Lyssa walks back into his life.

Will Tam tame Mellie or will she resist her happily-ever-after? Will Mellie be sane enough to remember him? And how does it feel like to hold the heart of the one you love in your hands? Literally.

Pre-order book #3 in the Cursed Hearts trilogy when it becomes available and find out.

Melisandra is up to her elbow in nappies and milk. All her plans – for her beauty shop, for becoming someone, for love – all gone up in smoke. Thievery or tying down Oz are her only chances at a good life now. If only she could find that philandering beast first!

Tam can’t watch his Lyssa make one mistake after another. His heart would be broken – if he had one. Not even in his wildest dreams could he have predicted that the fortune-teller’s magic box would come in handy.

Obsession always demands a price.

Will Mellie find Oz and have her happily-ever-after? Will Tam be able to forget Mellie? And are shrews meant to be tamed or waited out?

Pre-order book #2 Your Heart to Tame and find out. The Cursed Hearts trilogy is a dark, cross-generational (YA/NA) fantasy of love, betrayal, and the fragile line between survival and villainy, spanning torturous decades while a selfish protagonist is forced to grow up.

Not Roxy. When she spots her younger self in the mirror – again – Roxy knows another suitor is about to arrive. If only he wasn’t a celebrity! As Calypso, better known as the Goddess of Fair Skies, she’s too busy keeping the world’s oceans and the Goddess of Storms at bay. So, to avoid that thrum pulling her towards the A-lister, Roxy runs.

Rob can’t explain why he’s drawn to the sassy freethinker who hitched a ride on his yacht but wants nothing else from him. Unrequited attraction to island girls runs in the family, but he’s never met anyone like her. So, Rob sends his ex packing and braces himself for a slow-burn adventure…when Roxy is taken hostage.

Will Rob manage to woo Roxy, despite all the obstacles? Will Roxy give in to a carbon copy of someone she used to know, given that humans are a frail species?

What would you choose – deify your man OR live out your last life with the person you love?

A novellette about what happens when you try to steal stuff (or people)

What if you were tasked to draw dragon after dragon after dragon – ad nauseam and in captivity – to resurrect an entire realm?

Well, I cursed the lot of them.

Heartbroken over the treachery of the angel who was supposed to guard her, Lottie is trying to keep busy. Drawing one dragon after another and watching them leap off the page and out the window. If only she could leave her tower. But her captor said no without giving any reasons. If to believe all the storybooks, her happily-ever-after should be here soon. In the guise of a charming prince, no doubt.

Except her happy ending has been five hundred years coming and her only visitor is an annoying dragon she drew to life who keeps loitering about her tower. Doubtlessly to steal something.

Why couldn’t her affections be reciprocated centuries ago? Why is Gil so annoying? And where is her HEA?

This novella is a Rapunzel / Snow White mashup retelling and links to the author’s other works, but can be enjoyed as a standalone short story and a soundbite of the author’s writing style.

In case you love dragons, this novelette is also featured in my single-author anthology “Tales of the Dragons”.

Melisandra was never meant for polite society. As the fatherless daughter of a witch, she has learned to beg, borrow, and steal her way toward respectability—because no one hands girls like her a future.

So the prince chose another girl. Fine. Mellie never planned on letting anyone into her frozen heart anyway.

At seventeen, she has a far simpler dream: escape Borough village and save enough coin to open her own beauty shop. How hard can it be to find a decent apothecary who needs an apprentice?

Tamerlin knows better than most how words spoken in anger can become an unbreakable curse. Traveling the neighboring lands incognito, he is searching for the one girl who might help him break his own. When he catches sight of a sharp-eyed vixen in a tavern—sweet as candy, spying on patronsand stealing food —he can’t take his eyes off her. But what if the girl of his dreams isn’t the innocent she pretends to be?

Some choices shape monsters.

Because survival always demands a price.

What would you do to make sure you never went hungry again?

Your Heart to Seek is the first book in the Cursed Hearts trilogy, a dark mixed generation (YA/NA) fantasy tale of curses, betrayal, and the fragile line between villainy and survival.

Tartie, the Goddess of Small Things, is stuck. To help a friend in need, she has to pawn off her Storms ability – the one that shorts out every electronic gadget in range. With no qualified candidates in sight, Tartie resorts to a temporary fix.

It backfires. Badly.

Now there’s a new God of Storms—unhappy, destructive, and definitely not Zeus material—running around London. One of Piccadilly Circus Tube entrances has already tasted his accidental wrath. Tartie’s left holding the thundercloud, wondering if this disaster was exactly what the ever-meddling Ancient Goddess of Fate planned all along.

Storms & Schemes is the penultimate instalment of the Goddesses series—but it can be read as a standalone. (Though if you want the full divine drama, books 1–5 are waiting!)

Other books in the Goddesses series:

Book 1: Charm & Mayhem: Goddess of Fate (where Marina seduces her bodyguard and ex guardian angel Gabriel)

Book 2: Life & Death: Goddess of Light (where Ellie & Vic become Light & Death)

Book 3: Love & Money: Goddess of Luck (about Hans wooing Dita)

Book 4: Fire & Ice: Goddess of Frost (about Ava & Theo saving Iceland)

Book 5: Hopes & Dreams: Goddess of Air (where Della fake-dates Ari to save him from gold diggers).

After transferring her malfunctioning Hearth function to Theo, Della still has too many powers. She loves being Mistress of the Icy Northerlies and so, the only thing to do is to hand over Change to her boyfriend of 13 years. He’s about to propose anyway, so fair is fair. Things do not go as planned.

Amongst his siblings, Ari is the most level-headed. You have to be when your Father is Time and your siblings dabble in truth, procrastination and chaos. When his human mother ropes him into helping Della with her lodgings, he has no idea his life of serendipitous balance is about to be upended by one flighty damsel.

Will Della find someone to trust her powers with or is all hope lost for Grace and her operation? Will Ari get over his curse of the golddiggers? And what Change awaits us all, depending on who gets those powers?

Hopes & Dreams is book #5 in the series, but can be read as a standalone. Meaning: to read book #5 you don’t need to read the love stories of the other goddesses:
Book #1 Charm & Mayhem: The Goddess of Fate; or
Book #2 Life & Death: The Goddess of Light; or
Book #3 Love & Money: The Goddess of Luck; or
Book #4 Fire & Ice: The Goddess of Frost
…but those might be fun options.

Mirrors and shoes are definitely magical artefacts. But who created them? Where? And how? Read this short story and find out.

This is a standalone prequel novella to my Goddesses as well as Magic Mirrors Saga series, which can be read without delving into the why’s and the how’s.
