Sorceress for Hire: Tales from Ondiran, Book Two

Freelance Sorcery at Reasonable Rates
Launching a magical career can be a challenge, even for a talented sorceress like Sinta, who—despite a naturally timid disposition—finds herself faced with spoiled rich clients, rampaging robbers, marauding pirates, and savage trolls (well, only the one, though it does have two heads).
Alas, in the course of her adventures, Sinta unwittingly makes a dangerous enemy, a high-born magician with the power and cunning to disgrace and destroy her. How will this humble apothecary’s daughter escape his nefarious trap and bring the schemer to justice?
Sorceress for Hire is Book Two in the diverting fantasy series Tales from Ondiran, but it is a free-standing novella. Reading Book One first will add depth but is in no way necessary!

The Eye of Ksera: Tales from Ondiran, Book One

It’s hard to hide from a sorceress—as Colmar, a reluctant soldier of fortune, discovers after crossing the distinctly dangerous Valdira over a powerful magical artifact, the Eye of Ksera. To add to his troubles, a sinister necromancer, a grasping abbess, and an undead sorceress-queen all have this tantalizing treasure in their sights, as well!
Indeed, the Eye is an ill-fated gem that has cost the lives of many who have sought to possess it over the centuries. Who will survive this briskly paced adventure in a quirky world with two moons and five different systems of magic? Who will emerge from it with the Eye?
And, nearly as important, who will end up with custody of Angvar, the necromancer’s crested green lizard?

Dragon Slayers’ Guild: Hand of Fate, Book One

A dark elf ninja badass, silver-tongued human thief, and reluctant gnome mage take on the establishment… And a dragon.
Selene is a Sun Shadow, a dark elf of the desert tribes, exiled from her home to seek enlightenment. Her first step down that path: impart her own brand of justice on those deserving with swift fists and silent blades.
Solomon cares only for the money in his pocket and the girl on his arm. And he’d happily steal both from you when you’re not looking. A man with no friends, however, has no one to watch his back for plunging daggers.
Abbey is the new gnome in town with a clockwork familiar on one shoulder and a big chip on the other. She’s an intuitive sorcerer, talented artificer, and meticulous detective. But why should she save a city that looks down on her?
The city guard are under siege by a mysterious force they call a dragon. Meanwhile, the underworld is dangerously united to find a lost relic by any means necessary. And trapped in the middle? Three strangers who want nothing to do with any of them, or each other.
But when their entangled fates threaten to strangle them all, these outsiders have but two options: band together or die alone.
High fantasy goes slumming on an epic quest for good, evil, and everything in between. Don’t miss this exciting new series of dark progression fantasy!

Defying Gravity

This isn’t a book with lots of violence, war or death in it. There’s enough of that in real life, and if you’re into that kind of thing, then there’s plenty of other books out there for you.

This is a story about the stuff that we don’t have enough of in real life. Love, tolerance, bravery and leadership. And its a story about humanity’s first attempt to live in space, and how two young women save us all from our own stupidity.

Oh, it also features zero gravity, inter-racial, lesbian lovemaking.
(Because there isn’t enough of that in real life either)
