Synopsis: Jennifer Jones: Dark Turnings
Some doors should not be opened.
Some roads should not be crossed.
Some mistakes cannot be undone ...
And sometimes, there is no turning back.
Jennifer Jones is an ordinary young woman. But sometimes, extraordinary things happen to ordinary people.
When Jennifer and her friends are flung into a world they do not understand, they accidentally release an ancient demon, a monster of vast cunning, malice and power. Imprisoned for 1,000 years, it is now free to wreak a terrifying vengeance.
Determined to undo the harm they have caused, Jennifer and her friends follow it into corridors connecting countless worlds and times, and from there, into a gentle world of trees and mountains, sunlight and springs. They are all that stands between a peaceful people and a destroyer of worlds.
Jennifer and her friends are courageous, creative and loyal. But can courage and loyalty be enough against a power so dark, and so full of hate?
Evil is real. So are innocence and courage. Light stands against darkness in a battle for life.
Jennifer Jones: Dark Turnings is a young adults’ fantasy adventure in the tradition of the Hobbit and the Chronicles of Narnia

Synopsis: Cephas Paulson was born to solve puzzles that nobody else can solve, a talent the U.S. government has exploited with deadly results. Living in 2202 A.D., his is a world dominated by apathy and hedonism where religion is banned and the few remaining Christians hide in the shadows. Known worldwide as “The Cult Hunter”, Cephas is largely responsible for putting them there. Now living a quiet life as a Religious History professor, Cephas is reluctantly called out of retirement when the government sends him on a high stakes mission designed to crush Christianity once and for all.
As the puzzles begin to unravel, Cephas struggles to find the one answer that has always eluded him, the solution to his own desire to explore faith rather than destroy it. To do so, he finds himself walking a dangerous line between two worlds and two beautiful women. One represents the temptations of the outwardly utopian world of man while the other the Godly world that he’s secretly trying to understand. Unfortunately, neither these worlds nor these women are truly what they appear to be, leaving Cephas to wonder if “The Cult Hunter” has become the hunted. Luckily, like the Apostle Paul, Cephas’ learns that God often chooses His champions from the least likely among us and even “The Cult Hunter” has a place in His plan.

Synopsis: Can you believe in someone who can’t believe in himself? Maybe…
Maybe I just wanted to get through Year 12, coaching, and soccer with no distractions. Maybe life had other plans.
Maybe I shouldn’t be drawn to Cole; the new guy who gets into fights and smokes. Maybe I should want to date Jaime; the nice, steady guy who’s always been there.
Maybe you can’t help who you fall for, whether they’re good for you or not. Maybe it shouldn’t matter as long as you’re happy.
Maybe each new bruise on Cole’s face is a reason to walk away. Maybe there’s more to the secrets he hides and that’s a reason to be there for him.
Maybe a lifetime of pain can’t be washed away by anyone else but you. Maybe finally proving that someone else isn’t going to walk away is enough.
Or, maybe it’s time I got out of my own head and stopped wondering. Maybe it’s time I just live by my own rules and find out the answers to all those maybes.
It’s time for no more maybes.
A sweet YA romance about first love and learning to understand different experiences, this is Cole’s story from Aurora’s point of view.
The companion novel, Gray’s Blade, is from Cole’s point of view; much like the characters themselves, Cole’s version is darker, dirtier, and rougher. Read through to the end of No More Maybes for a sneak peek at chapter one of Cole’s side. Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.

Synopsis: "It is a truth universally assumed that a stupidly rich boy must be in want of a girlfriend. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a girl who has just travelled half a world must be in want of a bed."
From her first day at pompous boarding school Netherfield, fiery Australian Lily Brewer comes up against the arrogance of Austin Cooper. Austin and his twin Jax are the hottest guys in school. And the richest. It’s quick wits and sass versus suave intelligence and abs, and they refuse to fall for each other. The rest of the school ignores Austin’s behaviour for his pretty face and fat wallet. But, Lily can’t get past his cold character even while her insults are enough to bring a smile to Austin’s usually dour face. As Lily’s roommate Anne is getting closer to Jax, Austin and Lily are always at each other’s throats despite the sizzling chemistry that both of them deny simmering below the surface.
Between an ardent proposal from her step-mother’s simpering nephew, a dashing young fellow-Aussie from the Military College, the twins’ scheming bitch of a cousin, Lily’s embarrassing family, Austin’s intended fiancée, the antics of the twins’ best friend, the overbearing Lady Celia, and a whole lot of stubbornness, love seems off the dance card for everyone.
Will pride and prejudice ruin them all? Or will love win the day?
Get ready to spot all your favourite characters in this Young Adult modern reimagining of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, told in dual POV.
