It's said a witch without a familiar is considered lost, but a warlock without a familiar is deemed soulless.

Yordan Squires has a rather lonely existence. As a warlock capable of time travel, he’d resigned himself to a life of solitude long ago. When he finds someone possessing the magicks like himself, she could be the answer to his loneliness. But it’s too dangerous and selfish of him to ask her to accompany him on his travels.  

Ravenelle is a sprite, or so she’s told. She doesn’t know what she is or how she has powers, but when she finds someone who does know, she doesn’t want him to go away. Despite her healing abilities and invisibility, she’s ashamed of the life she has been forced into. Cold and hungry, she’s had no choice but to sell herself, and now she’s in grave danger from the man who owns her.  

Yordan vows to protect his Ravenelle. As perilous as his travels are, she would be safer with him than fending for herself. But sometimes trouble follows, no matter where or when you end up.  

Separately they are special. Together they are unstoppable.

Warning! Contains changeable coins, a tiny hourglass, a horse barn, invisibility, fight or flight, rocky food, differing norms, and a man who learns what it's like to finally discover the other half of his soul.

He fully expected to die, until he met a woman who gave him every reason to live.

Those condemned to death are sent to Doora IV, one of four prison moons in the Doora system. Webb Grace realizes that he has less than a month to roam the moon's tunnels before he's taken above and ejected into the airlessness of space. However, before he's released, he is allowed to spend his last night in pure carnal exploration with a Lady Lay.

Myka Tolbert is a Lady Lay. She is one of the few women on the maximum security prison moon who treats the condemned to their Final Pleasure, a last sexual fling, before they’re executed. In return, her sentence is shortened by one week. She hopes she lives long enough to earn her freedom.

A chance meeting between her and Webb gives the con more than a reason to live, but also the belief that he can escape Doora IV and his execution. But first he has to figure out how, and then he has to find a way to bring along the woman who has managed to touch his heart.

They never foresaw all hell breaking loose before he could act.

Warning!  Contains expired food, exploding moons, land squatters, dirty dealings, fraudulent contracts, transparent walls, revenge, cold showers, a death board, pink jumpsuits, and life measured in ten minute intervals.

Six on Sunday - NIGHTSWEPT, a Sensuous Fantasy/Paranormal/Time Travel Romance

Six paragraphs from NIGHTSWEPT, a sensuous fantasy, paranormal, time travel romance.

1. Slowly, he managed to get onto his side and lever himself up into a sitting position. His vision continued to fade in and out as the ground felt like it was rippling and swaying beneath him. A shudder racked his body, and he knew he needed to cover himself with hardier clothing. Shoving the timepiece in his pocket, he ran his hands down his arms. The linen sleeves thickened and lengthened as his shirt transformed into a full-length cloak. He could feel the difference as the heavier garment protected his bare skin, but he still needed to seek suitable shelter.

2. She almost fainted with relief when he eventually left the pub, but she knew he wouldn’t go far. Some of his henchmen must have seen her in here, or enter in here. They’d be watching for her to leave. She allowed herself to breathe. Let them watch. She could just as easily make herself invisible and walk out of this place. She could practically parade herself in front of their noses and they’d never be aware of it. But for now, she relished the warmth here inside the establishment, and the bit of heat she got with every swallow. She had nowhere else to go. Neither could she remain out of sight for long periods of time while she searched.

3. She crossed her legs in front of her and narrowed her eyes at him. “There hasn’t
been a war in this area for nearly a decade. And there hasn’t been any unrest in any of the neighboring countries that I am aware of. What insurrection, Yordan?” He started to respond, but she quickly shut him up with a wave of her hand. “I can sense you are telling me the truth, but I can also sense ‘tis not the whole truth. Be honest with me. What insurrection? What are you holding back?” Again, she pointed to his back. “That injury was still fresh when I uncovered it. With a wound like that, you wouldn’t have made it half a league without aid. Yet I know for a fact you are travelling alone.”

4. She threw her arms around his neck and hungrily kissed him back as he let himself drown in her nearness and her scent. She was still warm from her time inside the pub. Her lips weren’t cold, but wet and pliant against his mouth. She tasted of scone and raspberry jelly, which told him she’d probably absconded the treat when someone wasn’t looking. Laughter rumbled in his chest, and she paused, breaking away from his kiss to stare up at him.

5. She leaned forward for his kiss. Between the heat in the room coming from the candle, and the combined heat from their bodies, their skin glistened with perspiration. Although they hadn’t made love in the truest sense of the word, what Yordan had done to her had been incredible. There still remained the fear of actual penetration. It would take time before she felt comfortable enough to allow him to make love to her the way it was meant to be. But until that time, she felt sated, content…and in love.

6. They ate in silence for the next few minutes. Yordan closely observed the men and women entering and leaving the ale house, especially their style of clothing. Memorizing small details as much as possible. He would change their attire to match this time period’s style once they left and were safely out of sight. If he got anything wrong, it wouldn’t take but a second for him to adjust and correct the error. But he also knew he had to find some kind of gainful employment to support the two of them, and he had to find it soon. Ravenelle was correct. He couldn’t continue to create money in this town if they planned to live here. Nor was he keen on traveling from town to town. He wanted to set down roots. He wanted to settle into a comfortable and loving relationship with this woman who had become everything to him.

They are the cause of many legends, myths, and fairy tales. And they still live among us.

Someone is slaughtering young women in London, and using the same methods as Jack the Ripper did in the late 1800s. As much as the Metro police try to deny it, all signs point to the fact that the infamous killer could be back - somehow, some way.

Ex-lovers and now partners, Jahar Viento and Fasha Bycote are sent to track down the murderer, whom they believe is actually the work of a Breacher. A Breacher who may have found a way to transcend time. A Breacher known as a garphar. Or, more commonly, a vampire.

Their abilities, their past history together, and their still fiery attraction to each other will be sorely tested as they draw closer and closer to the killer... 

Because it will take a vampire to kill a vampire.

Warning! Contains fried chicken (extra crispy but not spicy), venom, undeniable passion, time traveling, living a nightmare, scrumptious cattle blood, and two people desperately in love, but with secrets that are determined to keep them apart.
