Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's ironic to find out your whole life has been a lie when you're married to a truth-teller.If only Mary could find some humor in it. She's drowning her sorrow in vodka and song when a surprise visit from her youngest sister jolts her into accepting the magical reality hidden from her for fifty years. Mary's epiphany can't come soon enough because her fresh start may be the only thing that can save her siblings and the world from an utter meltdown.As the two Bant sisters grapple with sirens, faeries and the FBI in America, their brother is trapped in a high-stakes game of mage politics in Australia. Meanwhile, middle-sister Amy's malfunctioning mage-sight forces her to seek help from the very same mages who tricked her once before.Can Mary pull herself together in time to rescue her family from the coming war?Mages Unbound is a 450-page dramatic fantasy, told from the perspective of the Bant family members. This is Book 2 in the Fifth Mage War Series, a magical epic about sirens, faeries, and family ties.What readers are saying about the Fifth Mage War series: - "This is a complex epic fantasy in a contemporary world filled with faeries and magical beings"- "An utterly unique fantasy fiction story"- "I thought I was buying a regular urban fantasy, instead, this was a totally different fantasy ebook - a rich epic fantasy set in the modern day."- "Finally, a fantasy for adults, where the heroines are out of high school"- "I loved the political intrigue and challenges. The end was intense. Can't wait for the next book!"- "This is why I have a kindle unlimited subscription - to find unique urban fantasy ebooks like this one. It was a mashup of a rich epic fantasy with faeries and an urban fantasy where the adult characters were powerful and smart women."- "It's a different kind of urban fantasy book because the characters are grownups in the middle of their lives instead of early twenties."- "I loved the powerful female mages and fae in the story. A lot of urban fantasy novels have sassy or feisty women. But this one has strong women characters. Such a new and unusual spin."- "A complex high fantasy with multiple main characters. Because there are several stories that ultimately intersect, I feel you have to let the book unfold."- "This wasn't a classic urban fantasy with witches or an epic with elves and warriors. In this series, powerful female mages face off against other powerful female mages, with the rest of the world caught in between. I loved the complications of this rich epic. Plus there were high - tech flying carpets, which is cool."- "It's not light-hearted, and the dramatic intensity appealed to me. It makes sense that one of the characters used to sing opera. This story has that kind of vibe."- "it wasn't paranormal or epic or urban. It was a mix of all of them and that made it something different. Honestly it was like high fantasy, but set in the real world."- "The problems the characters face are interesting, difficult and complicated. I wanted to read something different from the more formulaic-books I was reading from established authors and this was new."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of Northymbra is a land in turmoil. King Redwulf is missing, and his son rules as regent in his stead, facing threats from within and without: growing dissention among the knights and nobles of the realm, whispers of revolution from the Freebeasts, Wildbeasts encroaching on the borders, and bandits of all stripes making the most of the chaos. Burrows & Badgers is a tabletop skirmish game set in the ancient realm of Northymbra, a kingdom where mice, badgers, toads and other animals wear armour, wield swords, and cast magic spells. Your tabletop becomes part of the Kingdom of Northymbra, whose ruined villages, haunted forests, and misty marshes play host to brutal ambushes and desperate skirmishes. Lead your warband from battle to battle, and uphold the name of your faction, whether you stand with Reinert's Royalists, the Freebeasts of the Fox Families, or simply for your own glory or survival. Each model in Burrows & Badgers represents an individual character, and can be selected from a wide range of species – from the humble mouse to the mighty badger – and armed and equipped as desired. Scenarios link into ongoing campaigns, where heroes and villains may make their names and the assistance of infamous mercenaries might mean the difference between victory and defeat.
