Book excerpt: Dreams are but a shadow of reality...Susannah Murphy had lived for over a decade in a fractured dream state that was filled with demons and horrors. She was a faery and had performed a forbidden ritual at seventeen. Instead of dying as a result, she was forced to live in her own nightmare. Yet even in her sleep she's a danger, preying on the innocent while they sleep. All because she wants vengeance on the one person she blames for her torment. Kirsa. When Al Moore and Kirsa Heinrich learn that four teenagers from various states have had bizarre dreams of angels and demons, they fear for the worst. One refuses to leave his home while another finds refuge in a Catholic church and another seeks shelter in a mental institution. Kirsa and Al battle to figure out the connection before they all fall victim to Susannah's nightmare magick. Doing so will force Kirsa to come to terms with the biggest mistake she has ever made. With Susannah loose and out of control, she threatens the friendship between Kirsa, Sabrina and Sara by trying to pit them against each other. Ayden is powerless to help when the battles are being fought on the astral plane. Is Kirsa strong enough to figure it all out before her own reality is destroyed or will Susannah finally have her vengeance on those that she feels betrayed her long ago? Because the only way to win is to face your fears. So welcome to Susannah's nightmare, where anything is possible.

Book excerpt: Previously published; newly revised by author I like my women like I like my whiskey: liable to kill me. The two parts of being a paranormal private investigator I could really do without are being forced to eat bananas by an animated statue with a potassium fixation, and being put on trial for murder by a self-appointed council of vampire oligarchs. To be fair, I did kind of do it (the murder, not the bananas). But I was kind of saving my girlfriend, who is kind of one of them. On top of this, I’ve also wound up with a primordial queen of the damned trying to strangle me in my dreams. And the conspiracy of undead wizards who tried to sacrifice me fifteen years ago has decided that now is the best possible time to give it another go. Throw in the woman who left me for a tech start-up, the old girlfriend who I might sort of owe eternal mystical fealty to and a werewolf “it girl” who can’t decide if she wants to eat me in the good way or the bad way, and I’m beginning to think life would be easier if I made better choices. Then again, it’d be a whole lot less fun. This book is approximately 98,000 words

Book excerpt: A reverse harem, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance. "The relentless clock of fate was groaning over to the next hour, ringing the arrival of a battle as old as time, sounding the final alarm, the final chance to fall to our blades or lift them high. It was repeating infernal hours that grew hungrier with each turn, more vicious than the day, the year, the century before." The end was here. The great war had begun. I had been torn apart and remade, a marionette to dance over the coals of this world, stitched together by my tormentors. The great masters thought they could break me down and own me. They were wrong. I had won my freedom, my place in this world, my golden-eyed protector by my side. Until it happened again; the grim call of fate looking out at me through eyes of darkness, the great masters waiting with the power I needed, curses and promises in their hands.

This is a slow burn with DARK themes, unwilling anti-heroes, and one hell of a kick-ass heroine woven through a rich fantasy setting.

As with all the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of wonder." – The New York Times The haunting new thriller from Alex North, author of the New York Times bestseller The Whisper Man You knew a teenager like Charlie Crabtree. A dark imagination, a sinister smile--always on the outside of the group. Some part of you suspected he might be capable of doing something awful. Twenty-five years ago, Crabtree did just that, committing a murder so shocking that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat. Paul Adams remembers the case all too well: Crabtree--and his victim--were Paul’s friends. Paul has slowly put his life back together. But now his mother, old and suffering from dementia, has taken a turn for the worse. Though every inch of him resists, it is time to come home. It's not long before things start to go wrong. Paul learns that Detective Amanda Beck is investigating another copycat that has struck in the nearby town of Featherbank. His mother is distressed, insistent that there's something in the house. And someone is following him. Which reminds him of the most unsettling thing about that awful day twenty-five years ago. It wasn't just the murder. It was the fact that afterward, Charlie Crabtree was never seen again...
