Wild Princes

0ctavia Girl

Fall in love with the voice inside your head.

Octavia Girl Vol. I

Jenna Fairchild has a secret she has been keeping since she was a baby. Under her headband, under her grandfather's fedora, under her headphone strap, and under her messy bun, she has been hiding a black crown. That is, she had to keep it hidden until she was abducted by aliens, given riches beyond her wildest dreams, a palace to herself on an alien world, and been tasted head-to-foot by an enormous alien octopus. Then she was ready to take her place on the political stage of the universe. Jenna is not a princess, she's a diplomat. Armed with arms that are less plentiful than an octopus's, with fewer suction cups, and only one person who can help her... Sardius, who is only a voice speaking to her through an earpiece, Jenna has to crown seven more diplomats or blue and red blood will spill.

Octavia Girl Vol. II

Jenna Fairchild should be enjoying her new position as the chair of the Octavian/Adamis Alliance, but she isn't. With the last sound of Sardius' clenched teeth ringing in her ear and the AAMC officers trashing her palace, Jenna flees through midnight waters to Favel's underwater mansion to take refuge. If only her own military wasn't against her! If only she knew if Sardius was alive! If only she knew what she was doing!

Join Jenna as she crowns new diplomats, taunts the AAMC, gets new staff, and fights to protect peace in the universe, the only way she knows how... By being fabulous!

Octavia Girl Vol. III

In the third book of the Octavia Girl series, Jenna Fairchild would finally be in a good mood if she didn't suddenly have three AAMC diplomats to crown. Between eye rolls and skirt sweeps, she could really do with five minutes alone with Sardius.

Octavia Girl Vol. IV

The Octavians are fed up with attempts on Jenna's life, so they've taken matters into their own tentacles with a jewel installed in Jenna's crown that provides a force field no one can penetrate. If no one can touch her, can Sardius?

His 16th Face

The price of love is unimaginable.

His 16th Face

Beth Coldwell should have died. At fourteen years old, she was dying in a hospital bed, when her guardian, Christian Henderson, swept in and turned everything upside down. Years later, she’s alive and well, but she doesn’t know why. Christian did something unthinkable, possibly criminal, to save her life, but what? Beth must pick apart the mystery of why he’s being chased, kidnapped, spied upon, and drugged at every turn. How can she pull down the wall between them so he will welcome her to his world?

If Diamonds Could Talk

In the sequel to 'His 16th Face', Beth Coldwell could not be more in love with Christian Henderson. If only all the terrible things he warned her about hadn't come true. Now that she is part of his world, she is chained up in a castle on Tombstone Mountain with a steel ring through her ankle. She's alone, except for the visitors that plague her with questions and demands. Where's Christian in all of this? Beth's kidnappers want him as far away from her as possible.

How can she escape? The answers lie in the Red Forest... a place that needs a serious makeover.

The Spell Books

Behind His Mask

Evander lives down the street. He doesn't talk much, but when Sarah is given a book he authored, she starts to wonder who he really is. Is he the crown prince of a war-torn nation, fending off the invaders from across the sea? Is he a disgraced jester pulling pranks that end in blood? Is he the demon who haunts the mansion or the hunter hired to defeat it? Who is Evander behind his mask?

Hidden Library

Welcome back to the world of spell books. This time, we meet the teenage witches of Emi's old coven: Veda - Deceptively beautiful and deeply complex, she only looks like a porcelain doll. Fair Isle - A steampunk pixie with a dozen holes in her head. Intarsia - Looks like an elf strayed from the greenwood, who just had a meal of moss. Clementine - Would look like a Barbie doll if Barbie had been brutally beaten the night before. Pearl - Straggly and stringing like a rag doll, she looks like she'll never grow up. And... Salinger - who has come from his coven in the Yukon to find the girl of his dreams from among Veda and her cousins. It would be easy to choose if their cousin, Antony, didn't keep getting in the way.

Solo Novels

Whenever You Want

Christina Witten didn’t want to be an escort! She wanted to be an administrative assistant, not a make-believe trophy on a man's arm. If she could only make a bit of money, she could finish her course at the college and have the career of her dreams. Fate, however, threw her nothing but curveballs. The men she dated as an escort were supposed to be boring, and she was certainly not tempted to fall in love with one of them. It had been a breeze until Mark Lewis entered the scene.

Kiss of Tragedy

Juliet is a mystery to herself. Finally, away from her controlling parents, she's away at university. Of all the men she could be interested in, she is drawn to a man she thinks is a vampire. Of all the student groups she could join, she wants to join the one where everyone thinks they're magical. Innocent and normal, Juliet welcomes the strange and the dangerous. It seems like the magic surrounding her is just in her imagination until she has vivid visions that only present when the blood drinker kisses her. Is everything around her far more than it seems?

If I Tie U Down

When a particularly cute prank goes sideways, Shannon finds herself handcuffed to Fletch in an abandoned camp kitchen. He has every reason to be furious with her, and it's her job to diffuse him, not to fall suddenly in love with him. Likewise, Fletch shouldn't be interested in her or in finding out what Shannon paints on walls when no one is looking.

The Blood That Flows

Would you rather die for love or kill for love?

My sister lives her life looking through rose-colored glasses. It comes from looking at the world through blood... a vampire's gaze. It's a world where everyone wants to drink her blood like she's wine. How much can she give before she flows over? And how many people do I have to kill to make it stop?

Leander is in a disgusting situation. Yes, he's a knight. His armor used to be shiny, but now it is coated in green guck as he steps through Spiknit Woods. He's on a mission. What kind of mission? He doesn't exactly know. His quest is to go to a castle on the edge of the domain and do whatever the loyal taxpayers require. Lucky for him, it's to kidnap the Maiden in the red dress. With one eyebrow cocked, there is absolutely nothing Leander cannot do.

The House With Two Halves

For once, a prince must be sacrificed for the kingdom instead of a princess. Prince Torsten has been raised to be a toothless lion. He's a man untrained in battle and unaccustomed to warfare. Instead, he was taught to paint beautifully, speak beautifully, and write beautifully. Was it just so he wouldn't put up a fight?

Dream of the Wolf

Teardrop Edition Books

Hi Ink Drinkers!

Let me tell you about my Teardrop Edition books. They're free. Well... as free as I can make them. Their covers are generated with AI, and so they're less expensive than the covers with price tags. I didn't have to pay an artist. They're also old. I wrote Kiss of Tragedy 18 years ago, so it's old. Because of various costs attached to being an author, I have to charge a little bit for the new books to cover my expenses. Once those bills are paid, I can make more of my books free with Teardrop Editions. That means, I hope you'll buy the books with the artist-rendered covers. A few of the first edition Sleeping Beauty Inc. books have covers that were generated with AI, but it was a more expensive AI than the Teardrop Editions. Finding sci-fi cover artists is a giant pain in the solarship, if you know what I'm talking about. Either way, I hope you find a way to enjoy my books! Cheers!
