Origins

Jamis Bachman never stays in one place for too long. Retired from the reality TV show Ghastly Incidents, she’s now a social media sensation, chasing ghosts, demons, and inter-dimensional aliens—in an effort to avoid her own.

When a desperate young couple sends Jamis a video of a poltergeist disturbance, she jumps on a plane to Sage Creek, Utah, not knowing her world is about to change forever. Ghost stories she can handle, but a violent poltergeist, a brutal unsolved twenty-five-year-old murder, and meeting the love of her life? She’s in way over her head.

Jamis thought she was the one chasing ghosts, but it seems as though something is chasing her…

Is it possible to love across the political divide?

Shelley Whitmore is a successful attorney, working on behalf of her Evangelical parents’ faith-based organization, championing conservative values of individual liberty and limited government. Everything’s totally fine, except that it really isn’t. Shelley manages depression and crippling anxiety because of the secret she can never reveal: she’s gay.

Rand Thomas is a psychotherapist, transgender rights activist, and political liberal. Widowed and struggling with her wife's toxic parents, Rand isn’t going to allow herself to love again.

When Shelley and Rand meet in Manhattan, neither one expects to find that the other is exactly who they need.

In 2763, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction after centuries of war with the alien Sh’keth. Val Koroleva, special forces operative, sacrifices her universe to leap across space and time to avert the disastrous war before it begins.

Eight centuries earlier, the world has yet to tumble into chaos. Bush pilot Nicole Baker, blissfully unaware of the alien threat lurking near her home, lives in peaceful solitude flying her airplane between far-flung corners of remote Alaska until a charming, mysterious stranger turns her world upside down.

Val won’t set her mission aside, but neither woman can ignore their unlikely connection. Can Val risk the future? Will love find a foothold despite a world on the brink of war?

No one would ever accuse Special Agent Ryan O’Connor of taking the easy way out of anything. At least not successfully. Her attempts to distract herself from her crushing feelings of failing, fear, and fury have inadvertently landed her in hot water that is way over her head. And she forgot to pack her arm floaties.

As much as Ryan hates to admit it, her girlfriend, Allison, is right. She isn’t trained to bring down a domestic terrorist group. None of them are. But the clock is ticking, and lives are on the line. And if she doesn’t figure out a way to remain focused and keep her head in the game, hers will undoubtedly be one of them.

Only the enchanted border separates the oppressive and tyrannous land of Alba from Gaea, a haven where citizens are free to love who they please and choose their gender.

Everything changes for butch warrior Skylar when she follows the cries of a magical fox across the forbidden border and is forced on the most perilous journey of her life. As a telepath, empath, and swordsman, Skylar must hide who and what she is. Skylar aligns with proud femme Calida and her feminine son Florian to battle bandits, zealots, and the King’s guards. It’s the worst time for Skylar to fall in love, let alone to bond with Calida’s tender gender-rebel child. Skylar may be tough, but can she survive Alba in her quest to recross the border? And if she does, can Skylar leave behind the two people her heart yearns for most? 

In Alba, where hopes are crushed as easily as the dispossessed, Calida knows better than to dream of a better life. Deadly in combat, Calida will do whatever it takes to protect her child. She’s not about to trust Skylar or her little witch fox. If only her unruly heart would heed her better judgment. Even if there was somewhere she and Florian could be free, is Gaea truly a land Calida can call home?

When Tina Marks suffers a messy breakup with her longtime girlfriend, she vows to shove love aside and laser-focus on her studies. After all, the dwindling number of witches of the Willow Bark Coven need all the help they can get. And if the snooty, arrogant (gorgeous…sexy…) Nikolette is unwilling to reconsider her borderline radical ideals, the least Tina can do is strive to prove her wrong. 

Nikolette Dixon wants power. No, she <i>deserves</i> power, and nothing will stop her finding it. Not even the funny, kind (and incredible in bed) Tina, who suffers from a severe lack of ambition and drive. Recent rumblings within the Elm Stem Coven make plain that change is coming, and Nikolette intends to be right at the forefront of it.

The Elm Stem and Willow Bark witches are butting heads. There’s talk of the two covens joining, of the Coven Mothers fighting dirty political wars and in the middle of it all, the venerable and deeply powerful High Crone Hyacinth has vanished.

Women linked only by their roots in witchcraft are thrown together in a cauldron of mystery, power, hunger, and magic. The runes are cast, the words are spoken, but who truly has control of the spell?
