After taking the life of a high ranking member of the Irish Mafia to protect his friend and confidant, Issac Maus, Thomas O'Malley wants out — to live a safe and normal life.
Two months later, Thomas has thrown himself into his new life — school, friends, dating — the picture of a normal life, right? Then why does he keep finding himself entangled in the schemes of the Three Rings, only to be rescued by the kind (and disarmingly handsome) Seong: Hacker Snake of the Italian Mafia? Thomas knows he should keep his distance, but how can he when one of the few places he truly feels safe is in Seong’s presence? If he can't live a normal life, maybe he can settle for honest.
Seong “Snake” Kim is perfectly happy to focus on his work — even if his work is using his unique computer skills for the dark purposes of the Italian Mafia. When the young and handsome Thomas O'Malley, asks him him about honest computer careers, Seong intended on showing Thomas some resources and sending him on his way — determined not to pass on the teachings of his "mentor." But, like a boomerang, Thomas keeps coming back — no matter how hard Seong tries to throw him. More than that, every time, Seong has a harder time letting go. Can Seong find a balance? Not just for the sake of Thomas’s future but for his own sanity? Or will a darkness from his own past drive them into each other’s arms until no force will break them apart?
Camelot is fallen. King Arthur is dead. The world carries on, slouching toward its final breath.
"I do what I have to just to stomach this cesspool I woke up to!"
Seventeen hundred years after the events that shaped him into a villain of legend, Morgan le Fay wakes, little more than flashes of his life past to guide the way. Thus, he dons the mantle the world has fashioned for him, cloaking his true identity beneath the guise of a mercenary—teaching the neon city of Etna that he is not one to be trifled with.
"And me? What about my life helped you stomach this place?"
Aaron Jones will never know a land beyond this one, and while it may not be a place of fairytales, he does everything within his limited power as an officer with the ECPD to make it safe. That is until his efforts lead him to a dark alley in the middle of a city-wide blackout, and a jab to the neck lands him on Etna's missing persons list.
The past and future collide in Etna—one of the final bastions of humanity—as Morgan navigates the schemes of the corporate giant, Esotech, the politics of the Occult Community—and the notion that he could be so much more than the world remembers.
Meet Captain Nymeera Astrea Jones.
Starship captain. Warrior.
After years of intensive training, Nymeera has reached the rank of captain in record time. She is awarded command of a small stealth vessel—the Echo. Around them, war with a hostile alien species is heating up, but rather than being sent to the front lines, her superiors order her to explore the Centauri Nebula. A part of space no human has ever gone... or so the history books had led her to believe.
On the way to the nebula, her ship encounters a five-hundred-year-old vessel adrift in space. And inside? A man who is still alive.
Desperate to find out who he is and what secrets he's hiding, Nymeera decides to keep the man on board, despite the fact that doing so violates direct orders from her superiors.
If she's wrong, she could lose her command and all she's worked for. But the more she learns, the more she wonders if this mysterious stranger could help end the war. And why her superiors might want to stop him.
The Air We Breathe, by Lea Forrester

Second Edition Live Soon!
What would you do, if a piece of a God chose you?
For twelve centuries, the Godshards have dwelt in the mortal realms. They are humans whose souls have merged with fragments of their fallen God. Long have they been the exemplars and heroes of humanity. But times are changing, and the Godshards are being kidnapped by daemons, leaving chaos and turmoil in their wake.
Mercenary Lieutenant Leo finds himself front and center in the conspiracy when the Godshard Maga he is tasked with protecting is in their sights. They are forced to travel to the Island City, an ancient and sacred place to all Godshards, in the vain hope he can find a way to save her. He is reluctantly joined by his best friend, Martin; his bitter old flame, Elizabeth; the Shardling, Annabelle; the powerful Godshard, Etheros; and Petro, one of the Benelim.
They will need to settle their differences and work together if they stand any chance of saving the Godshards before it is too late.
