Hunting A Relic: Succumbing to Alakay’s master vampire power, Ari becomes his unwilling servant. Luckily, she isn’t alone in the lair he’s chosen to lurk in. She makes an unlikely friend who could turn out to be beneficial to her in the long run. All she has to do is pretend she isn’t an evil, soulless monster now. How hard could that be? The Hunter Elite and Jake Everett desperately search for a way to retrieve Ari’s soul. When a solution is presented to them, Jake must make a deal that will be filled with peril. If they wish to succeed, they’ll need Ari’s cooperation to accomplish it. Now that she’s become a full vampire, they all know it won’t be easy to get her to see reason. The team will need to split up as they all tackle their separate tasks. They will face dangerous foes and some will travel to realms they’d never expected, or wanted to visit. They will become allies with creatures they are normally enemies with to serve a common goal, but their alliance will be shaky. Ari finally embarks on the mysterious task to retrieve a relic from somewhere no one has ever returned from before. It will be her most hazardous mission so far and even with her magical abilities, she isn’t sure she’ll succeed. The worst part is that she won’t be going alone. She’ll have company she would rather see dead than to be partnered with. Hunting The Dark: Ari finally gets a chance to contact the pixies. It is her hope that they will give her some of their magical dust so she can cast the spell that will nullify Spencer’s control over the people she loves. Their assistance won’t be free. They require her to perform a difficult and dangerous task before they’ll hand over their dust. Before she can tackle that problem, Von Hades sends the Hunter Elite out on a new mission. This one is stranger than most and their foes are both deadly and elusive. It isn’t going to be easy to hunt the Dark and survive. Jake Everett and his small sidekick, Rudy, will be joining them. Until their war with the demon, the witch and the druids is over, they’ll be sticking together. Morgwen returns from her journey through the portal to another realm. She had brought allies that can kill with one touch with her. The Earth has never seen their like before and even Spencer is fearful that the witch’s army might not be stoppable. Enemies will have to band together to have a chance of defeating their mutual nemesis. Hunting A Dragon: Ari now has everything she needs to break her friends and herself free from Spencer Von Hades’ thralldom. They are all aware that doing so will turn them into the demon’s enemy. With Morgwen and her army of dead, undead and Dread Wraiths to contend with, they have to hope he will focus on her rather than on them. In order to defeat Morgwen, they need the relic Ari retrieved from the Deadworld. Unfortunately, Spencer has it locked away and under guard in one of his enchanted mansions. Stealing it from him won’t be easy. They will have to utilize their various skills in order to achieve their goal. Harrow and his druids now have the mask of a long-dead demi-god in their possession. Once it has been repaired, whoever wears it could become even more dangerous than Morgwen. Faced with three powerful enemies, the Hunter Elite will need the help of an ally that vanished from Earth thousands of years ago. They fear that only a dragon will have the power they need to vanquish their foes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
