Energy infrastructure around the world is under attack and cybersecurity super-sleuth Frank Adversego must solve a riddle with no apparent answer: when the only attackers capable of staging the assaults are also the targets, who can the attacker be?

Part of the answer becomes clear as power plants, coal mines, refineries and tankers continue to be destroyed: someone – or something – has decided to single-handedly save the world from climate change by whatever means it takes. As Adversego closes in on the attacker, his opponent closes in on him in a race to the finish that only one of them can survive.

On the run from their past, swordsmen Raedrick Baletier and Julian Hinderbrook search for a place of refuge where they can start over.

That search sends them through a remote mountain valley called Glimmer Vale, where unbeknownst to them, dark forces threaten the population’s lives and fortunes.

With their hopes of quiet passage through the Vale dashed, and facing a deadly conflict against overwhelming odds, Raedrick and Julian will need all of their wit, courage, and skill just to survive, let alone prevail.

Fans of sword and sorcery will enjoy this fast-paced tale of redemption set in a world of valor and magic.

They call them Starseeds…

…beings from different galaxies and star systems.

Seventeen-year-old Skylar is just one of them, and when the Academy of Lost Souls comes to claim her, she’s left with no choice–no choice but to train to become one of the select-few mages with mystical powers who can save the world from utter darkness.

But, the world could go to complete chaos for all Skylar cares, because those who dragged her to the academy kicking and screaming are the same ones who killed her parents, and a Starseed like her never forgets.

Not even when the wickedly-handsome half-blood prince is revealed, and chooses her as his soulmate.
And, definitely not when a secret clan of sorcerers threaten to take him from her.
Things just got a little more complicated here on this planet called earth.

Wodehouse steampunk version of The Hound of the Baskervilles!

An escaped cannibal, a family curse … and Reginald Worcester turning up on the doorstep. Could things get any worse for the Baskerville-Smythe family?

As the bodies pile up, only a detective with a rare brain – and Reggie’s is so rare it’s positively endangered – can even hope to solve the case.

But… there is the small matter that most of the guests aren’t who they say they are, the main suspect has cloven feet, and a strange mist hangs over great Grimdark Mire.

Luckily the young master has Reeves, his automaton valet, and Emmeline, his suffragette fiancée, on hand to assist.

This stand alone novel is the fifth Reeves & Worcester Steampunk mystery.
