Reduced to scattered colonies, the mer-people can no longer defend humans from the empire-building ambitions of their Atlantean offspring.
To rebuild his kingdom, Kai needs the aether core buried in the sunken ruins of ancient Atlantis, but the way is guarded by Ancients—gargantuan titans, monsters of myth and legend.
Yet the greatest peril lies not in the journey, but in the destination. A creature of immeasurable power is entombed alive within Atlantis.
And the only thing it craves, far more the priceless aether core, is absolute vengeance upon the royal bloodline...
CURSED LEGACY
Family is all he has left...
What—or who—will he pay to save the Earth?
Transformed by dark energy, the mer-king Zamir is a chimera—a seamless tapestry of skills...a mangled mess of memories.
Yet through all the catastrophes he has witnessed—many of his own making—he has learned one thing.
Family matters; especially the last of his bloodline, his grandson, Kai.
A straightforward quest to rebuild his shattered empire and set his grandson upon the throne is thwarted by the soul shards in his chimeric personality.
Zamir has enemies, far more than he imagined.
And their hate is brutally raw.
One of them, Marduk, possesses the power of a god, and in his attempt to right a perceived wrong, he will incinerate the Earth.
To stop Marduk, Zamir must draw upon all facets of his fragmented personalities, even the one he despises and cannot trust.
But nothing prepares Zamir for the devastating realization that sacrificing Kai may be the only way to stop Marduk’s apocalyptic plans...

CONFESSIONS OF THE UNDERWORLD BOATER
Losing my job wasn’t the problem…
Being recalled was.
No one believes in the Greek gods anymore, which leaves me with nothing to do at the banks of the river Styx.
Boredom isn’t an excuse for bad judgment, but I should have known better than to hang out in Fort Lauderdale.
The nightclub owned by my elder brother Thanatos—Death—is the hottest destination on the beach, until mortals inexplicably sicken and die—
—and show up at the Styx.
The displaced mortals are the first pawns in the long-overdue war between the gods of Olympus and the offspring of the Titans—the children of Nyx, my siblings and me.
My name is Charon, and my only power as the ferryman is to travel any path between Point A and Point B.
Unfortunately, that power isn't going to be enough to escape—or avert—the apocalypse headed my way…
ILLUSIONS
Sometimes, the truth begins with a lie…
Desperate to break the suffocating grip of eternal winter, the fae prince Varian summons the most powerful witches and fae to shatter the icy shroud around La Condamine, but no one wants to die for the prince’s cause. When he conscripts by force, they flock to Nithya, begging her to wrap her flawless illusions around their magic bracelets.
Nithya undermines Varian’s tyranny until she realizes there is more to him than the façade of a merciless dictator. Even so, she’s not the biggest traitor in the realm. The conspiracy that murdered Varian's father now turns its malice and hatred against him. Nithya finds herself entangled in treachery, betrayal, and illusions far more entrapping than anything she can conjure.
The prize is the soul of a nation, and the price is everything she cherishes—including Varian’s love.
EARTH-SIM
1st Place, Young Adult, Royal Palm Literary Award 2013
“Earth-Sim starts off awesome and just keeps getting even better…” Cara Drake
A planetary management simulation program…
Two students who failed Communications 101…
What could possibly go wrong…?
Jem Moran has a reputation to prove and a secret to protect. The prestigious world simulation program seems the answer to both her problems, but only if she can succeed in spite of her slacker of a partner, Kir Davos, and the uncooperative human beings who populate her planet.
From the Great Extinction to the Renaissance, from world wars to intergalactic treaties, Jem’s conflict with Kir will shape Earth’s history, and their opposing management styles will either save or doom our planet.
This tongue-in-cheek, award-winning novel blends geography, history, mythology, and popular cultural into a breathtaking panorama of Earth. Read Earth-Sim, and you'll never see our planet the same way again… Either way, you finally have someone to blame for the shape our world is in.
MAGE’S LEGACY
He's desperate.
She’s a fraud.
Together…they’re a disaster.
To save his siren clan from the ravaging sea serpents, Gabriel must seek the help of a mage to recover the Legacy Stone and heal the oceans. That’s how he finds himself at Kerina’s doorstep, begging for her aid, and grateful when she reluctantly agrees.
Now Gabriel and Kerina must survive the perils of the cursed seas and challenge the demonic Tua and his seven monstrous children for control of the Legacy Stone—a difficult enough task for a lone siren warrior and a powerful mage…
Except, Kerina’s not really a mage. The real mage died weeks before and hadn’t even been cold in her grave when Gabriel arrived desperate for her help. Kerina hadn’t exactly been eager to correct his mistake then, and now her lie of omission could leave the world in danger of complete extinction.
Kerina’s not sure how long she can keep up the ruse, and she’s running out of time to confess.
Fans of Kiera Cass, Neil Gaiman, and Faith Hunter will find this dystopian-fantasy siren adventure intensely addicting.
