Blood Magic
131 pages / 55500 words
Blood Ties' Adrian Debrett is back, and his life is more complicated than ever. Between being protector of several werecats, ghoul to Prince Gabriel and companion of the Mummy Xander, his extra curricular activities take up more time than his night job of guiding ghosts into the beyond.
Things get even more complicated when Ash, the son of a rival vampire, shows up, intent on mixing it up with Gabriel's son Skye, and a work rival tries to frame one of the werecats for murder to get back at Arian. Throw in Gabriel's ex-lover, Ash's vampiric Father, and a pair of Egyptian gods, and it's a wonder that Adrian can get anything done.
Action packed and full of magical intrigue, you won't want to miss a moment of Blood Magic.

The Shape of Things
For countless ages a war has raged on, a war most could not see. Two races have battled for their very existences. In the year 2015 the world is changed. World War III is long passed, but its effects remain. Humans have nearly destroyed the earth; global warming has reached a critical point. The sea is rising and the land is shrinking. Those left of the human race now live side by side with beings long thought to be nonexistent.
Vampires control the cities, ruling regions from one point: Washington DC. The Sanguine Council is in control and answers only to one man: Prince Devon Hart. But rebellion is brewing, and Prince Hart is its most strategic victim.
In the outlying lands there lives another race of creatures: shapeshifters. Their lands are slowly being swallowed by the sea and their only option is to move inward, towards the cities. Led by an ancient being using the name of Vincent Sheridan, the shapeshifters fight for survival against their bloodthirsty neighbors. They need a break, a change in strategy. Their prayers are answered by none other than the usurped Prince of the Vampires himself.
Thrown together in an effort to topple the traitorous Sanguine Council, Vincent and Devon find much more in each other than simply a strong ally. Will their relationship create more trouble than they can handle? Or will Vincent and Devon bring about an end to the war through their love?
