Radek Kral knows how to skate.

As a left wing for the Milton Keynes Tempest, ice is the one place he has never had to think twice. Then a knee injury gets him benched and packed off to Calderton-by-the-Sea for six weeks of rehabilitation, healing baths and strict instructions to avoid heroics.

He lasts less than a day before finding the Silver Pavilion.

Beatrice “Trix” Gale has spent most of her life inside Calderton’s century-old ice theatre. She grew up as one of its rink rats, became one of its principal skaters, and has no patience for the injured hockey player who assumes show skating will be easy because he already knows how to move on ice.

Radek only intends to fill a temporary place in the chorus. Trix has no intention of becoming responsible for him. Neither expects an old theatre, a summer production of Return to Wonderland, and a little impossible magic to rearrange their plans.

Because at the Silver Pavilion, the stories performed on the ice have a habit of becoming just a little too real.

Mithradia the Elf needs a break. A break from both being both professional and parental, at least for her birthday!
But life doesn't stop and it's going to take a lot more than adding yoga classes to an already overfilled schedule to remember that a busy life can be a blessing. As she is reminded of the value of both family and friendship, Mithradia rediscovers joy in the chaos and learns that sometimes, the best moments are found right in the middle of the beautiful mess that some refer to as ‘work-life-balance’.

In the bustling, magical city of Mythwood, Gehmorin has planned the perfect birthday surprise for Mythradia, his wife: yoga vouchers designed to whisk her back to the carefree, kid-free days of their past. But when you’re juggling toddlers, life in a new city, and the intrusive nature of modern magical communications from work, time for yoga is as mythical as unicorn tears.

Foreseeably (to anyone but him), his plans unravels, and when Mythradia gets called in to work he’s left home alone on her birthday with their two mischievous daughters, his plans in tatters, and the sinking realization that his thoughtful gesture might have been more about recapturing his lost youth than celebrating hers.

A cozy, heartwarming tale for parents who long for a little magic between the moments of the daily grind, Present Perfect Tense is a cozy, heartwarming short story about love, family, and finding happiness in all of life’s moments. Perfect for busy parents looking for a quick, relatable read in between interruptions – one that might make you wince and grimace, but smile by the end.

When Ezo’s village is lost, he leaves heartbroken but determined to make a difference in the world. Ezo has a rare magical talent but lacks a formal education. His uncle taught him the elements of magic, but not how to deal with people who are suspicious of those with power.

Kammon is one of the War-Sworn, a magic-user who dedicates his gifts to protecting his country. When he comes home from the battle, he leaves the military and his rank behind. Unable to find peace with the people he had once served, Kammon searches Distria for a way to atone for his deeds.

Their paths interconnect in ways that Ezo doesn’t understand and Kammon doesn’t trust. Can they find a way to achieve their goals in a world that fears accepting help? Or will the darker forces in the world succeed in burying their dreams?

The mirror comes up cold, monogrammed T.V., and it isn’t done yet.

By the time Trix McGlone gets home from her first solo estate sale, there’s a trickster spirit riding shotgun in raccoon form. He introduces himself as Pockets and gets straight to the point: the mirror is only the first piece. Trisha Vantree, blamed and run out of Glencross County decades ago for a theft the whole county still believes she committed, left herself behind in silver and cloth and paper, scattered through every estate sale Trix will ever work.

Reuniting them means reopening a case nobody wants solved, least of all the families whose good names depend on Trisha staying guilty and gone. It means going up against Ruben Brasch, the competitive, entirely too charming owner of the county’s only auction house, every single time a piece comes up for bid.

Trix built a business out of finding out what things are actually worth. This time it might cost her the quiet life she just started building and hand her a rival who won’t stay just a rival. Trisha Vantree has waited fifty years for somebody to finally look. Trix isn’t putting the mirror down.

A sweet, kissing-only romance with no explicit content.

From island hush to neon thunder—two cats are about to become each other’s fate.

Bella’s first world was Lānaʻi: salt air, warm stones, plumeria on the wind, and the gentle chaos of a sanctuary where humans move softly and love loudly. She learned the rules of paradise early—share sun patches, guard your dignity, and never admit you’re afraid.

Then a wrong turn in the human world drops her into Las Vegas.

The desert smells of heat, pavement, perfume, and electrical hunger. Everything flashes. Everything moves. And tucked inside the glare is The Gamblers Bookstore—a velvet-quiet refuge where Bella might finally catch her breath.

Except the bookstore already has a king.

Django Whiskerblades is watchful, disciplined, and unimpressed by feline theatrics. Bella is audacity in fur.

They should avoid each other. Naturally, they don’t.

Soon, the two cats are drawn into a Vegas caper involving secrets, risk, and considerably more trouble than either intended.

A cozy feline adventure filled with wit, slow-burn chemistry, Las Vegas mischief, and two cats discovering that fate occasionally has whiskers.

Teaching at a magical academy sounded like the perfect fresh start for Fern Millwood.

She didn’t plan on becoming an amateur detective.

When her grandmother’s irreplaceable Guidebook of Crossings disappears on her first day at Silverstone Academy, Fern suspects someone on the faculty knows more than they are admitting. Then she finds a torn page hidden in the restricted Archives.

The page contains part of a crossing rite, and someone has already tried to use it.

When the academy’s head librarian is found dead after the rite goes terribly wrong, suspicion spreads through Silverstone. Faculty members guard their secrets, evidence points toward an innocent man, and the person responsible is preparing to try again.

With her opinionated familiar, Pickles, providing sarcastic commentary, Fern must trust the unusual sensitivity she has spent years doubting. She may not have the credentials of Silverstone’s experts, but she can recognize what they have overlooked.

Before anyone else is hurt, Fern must identify who stole the guidebook and stop them from attempting the rite again.

Ashleigh never quite belonged in the ordinary world.

Growing up in Birch Lake, her closest friends weren't the other children in town. They were the animals that seemed to understand her, the faeries hidden among the trees, the nymphs nestled in flowers, and the centaurs who listened when no one else would. But eventually, Ashleigh left Birch Lake—and the magic she once believed in—behind.

Now her parents have vanished without a trace.

Returning to her childhood home in search of answers, Ashleigh discovers an even stranger mystery waiting for her. The magical friends who once filled the woods have disappeared too. Yet unexplained shimmers appear in the darkness, something moves just beyond her windows, and impossible little clues suggest that perhaps the magic never left at all.

Then there's Investigator Viktor Wilde, the handsome newcomer assigned to her parents' case. He's asking questions Ashleigh isn't sure she wants to answer—and making it increasingly difficult to remember why getting involved with him would be a terrible idea.

As the mysteries of Birch Lake begin to intertwine, Ashleigh must uncover what happened to her parents, where her childhood friends have gone, and why the animals—and perhaps the magic itself—have always been drawn to her.

Coming home was supposed to give Ashleigh answers. Instead, Birch Lake is about to show her just how much she never knew.
