Frost and Fire
It’s hard when opposites attract. Harder still when they can’t decide if they hate each other or love each other or just want the other one dead. Harder still when all those feelings get wrapped up in PTSD, politics, and elemental magic that will just not stay where it’s supposed to. Meet Phoenix and Moon. Stubborn, yes. Powerful, yes. Emotionally immature, mostly yes. Possessed with a will to make the other one suffer for infinity? Definitely yes. Sequel to Iron and Lightning. Book Four in Urban Mythologies series.
Bad Company
When good people do bad things and bad people do things that feel really, really good.
Kas Burke never wanted to be special. Never thought about anything but research and getting the job done. But when that research gets out of hand, leading to genocide and a personal crisis, there’s no avoiding the call to make it right. Especially not when that call is sounded by the attractive, mysterious Hoshi who is all kinds of convincing. And annoying. And, evidently, bent on a path of revenge and rescue for his probably-dead-sister, but we try not to talk about that too loudly. After all, what Hoshi doesn’t know, won’t hurt him, right?
Iron and Lightning
Why everyone loves a bad boy is a complete mystery. It’s one of those laws of the universe that we just have to deal with. Phaistos is a good boy. A good person. And he just cannot get over his immortal, no-good, jackass of a cosmic crush. Sequel to Wind and Rain.

Freelance—The AntiRomance
Erica Kayne is a doctoral physicist who can’t keep a job and so writes for a living. She’s bad at making deadlines and gets so obsessed with making her science fiction stories technically accurate that she drives her previous editor to quit. Marcus DeSantos draws the short straw as her new editor. He finds an unstable genius incapable of caring for herself on a daily basis, with a tendency to blow things up accidentally and grow toxins in the fridge (without remembering to label them).
Wind and Rain
Chloe Zukas gets hit by a train and wakes up in Hell, being ministered to by a cold woman with no name. Her subsequent discovery of her immortal identity and the identity of her benefactor results in the freeing of terrible elemental forces that escape from the Earth and begin to consume reality. In the process, her benefactor goes insane and joins the terrors, wanting to watch the world burn, and it’s up to Chloe to soothe the powers of nature and bring her friends back from the edge. These friends include a goddess named Hurricane, a Hell Hound (formerly a pirate hanged for betrayal against the Emperor), and the King of the Damned himself (or herself…there’s some gender fluidity here). The end of the battle results in a world forever changed and Chloe taking up a new role in Hell as the Spring Queen.
