Synopsis: There’s a small clearing up in the mountains, in the cold, dark woods of Alaska, where a warm, bright light shines. Anyone that comes upon this light is pulled into it, by its exquisite beauty and wonder. Once you pass through this light, you are taken into another world, the world of Majestica. Lacey Grayson had no idea other worlds like this existed until she met Jace, and her world was changed forever.
Lacey was the typical teenage girl. Her life revolved around school, friends, and boys. She was in love with the concept of love. All she wanted was to find her prince charming, her knight in shining armor, the one boy that would love her unconditionally. No one ever knows exactly how and when they’ll find their true love, and for Lacey, well, she found her true love in the most unusual of places, in a situation she never expected to find herself in, and fell in love with him right then and there. And he was perfect. Jace was the definition of perfect; from his gorgeous looks to his endearing demeanor. He was the man she had been longing for.
She was ready to live a happy, fairytale life with him by her side. However, it didn’t quite work out that easily. Lacey finds herself dealing with the sneers from her classmates about dating the “dangerous” guy that lives up on the mountain, and dealing with threats from the boy at school that had tried to attack her. Fate had brought Lacey and Jace together. Jace had saved her life, and had protected her time and time again. He was the one true love she had been waiting for. When Jace reveals that he has to leave her to go to Majestica to avenge his father’s death, Lacey must try and find a way to stop him before he, himself, is killed. He saved her before, now will she be able to save him? How far would you go to save the person you love?
Majestica; First Glimpse is the story of love, courage, determination, and hope. Through all the joy, torment, and wonder, watch as the love between Lacey and Jace is challenged and threatened time and time again, and yet somehow continues to thrive.
This is the first book in the Majestica trilogy. Majestica; First Glimpse is a passionate and suspenseful love story, with an interesting fantasy twist, not just for the young adult crowd, but for romance fans of every age.

Synopsis: "What do you think it's like for them... as in... death?"
"Death?" The word slithered off the end of her tongue as if it was a filthy sock she held out with the tips of her fingernails. "They're mortals, Morg. [. . .] Once you sing a soul to the Otherworld, you'll see that keening is an important task, but not one with which we should become emotionally involved."
Bound by duty, sixteen-year-old Morgan must begin forewarning human deaths. After all, that's her job as a newly-appointed Ban Sidhe (banshee), a death caller. Conflicted when the Inner Ring--the elite group of ruling Sidhe--assigns a fifteen-year-old boy, Aidan Tanner, as her first death to keen on her road to adulthood, Morgan must make a critical decision. Will she help end such a young life or follow her instincts and refuse to make the call? And if that isn't difficult enough, Morgan's help is needed as the Sidhe and human worlds are about to face a crisis foretold in the Thousand-Year Sidhe Prophecy. With the lingering pain of her mother's absence and the mystery of her father's recent disappearance, the young Ban Sidhe feels lost. Aided only by her overly-critical twin sisters and an eccentric seer, Morgan must confront her weaknesses and make the hardest decision of her life. Alone.

Synopsis: Surviving Primary School! - How to succeed in everything that you want and could wish for…
It happened in the middle of a math class.
The teacher asked a question which I knew the answer to...it was as clear as day so I decided to pluck up the courage to raise my hand.
Up to this day I’m not sure who was more excited, me for having raised my hand, or my teacher who was seeing me ready to answer a question (and open my mouth to talk) for the first time since I’d landed in her class…
“Yes, what’s the answer?” asked the teacher…
I’m sure you know the feeling of those moments when everything goes blank, a “black out” when your answer suddenly gets stuck somewhere and you’re sure that you don’t know anything and you can’t remember anything…
That’s exactly what happened to me. At that moment, when I realized that I was going to speak, I went silent; I forgot what I wanted to say.

Synopsis: Surviving Primary School! – The essential self esteem and confidence book for kids…
"...I was always an outstanding athlete. I was the class champion at sprinting; my room was bursting with trophies…
This happened in grade 5. All of us still looked and sounded like young kids when I, and only I, started to develop a ‘phenomenon’:
I suddenly started to grow hairs on my arms and on my legs. This was thick black hair that you couldn’t help noticing.
I had become hairy!
It was hot outside, and the regional sports competition was coming soon. It sounded like great fun, but for me it was a nightmare.
Just the thought of our team sports kit (the shortest possible running short and a skimpy vest) made me feel sick.
I didn’t know what to do. How could I let everyone see my hairy body in those shorts, and in a sleeveless vest???"

There are no two ways about it – all of us at some time or other try to change what can’t be changed:

The Blackcoat Rebellion
Book 1
Author of The Goddess Test novels
A single test determined her entire future…until she was given a way out
Kitty Doe had one chance to prove she could be worthwhile to society. Instead, she walked out of her ranking test as a complete failure, with a permanent "III" tattooed on the back of her neck. At seventeen, she's facing a lifetime of cleaning sewers…and being separated from Benjy, the boy she's loved for as long as she can remember.
So when Kitty is offered a chance to escape her fate, it seems like an easy choice. If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked—surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family—a VII—she will be famous. And for the first time, she will matter.
There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed…and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only just beginning to understand.
"Carter has created an engaging heroine to root for in Kitty and a page-turner full of twists and turns." —Booklist

Synopsis: Did you know New York Book Review’s, WD La Rue, recommends Four Small Stones, The #2 Kindle Bestseller in Teen and Young Adult Action Adventure Series?***Warning*** Before you purchase this book please be aware that Four Small Stones could make your head fall off. Heads have been seen rolling down suburban streets without their bodies. Please do NOT purchase this book if you do not want people to see you chasing your own head. It will be embarrassing.
However, if you don’t mind being completely grossed out one minute and laughing your head off the next, please read on ...
Praise for Four Small Stones“I would read ANYTHING this man wrote.” That’s what Mr La Rue said. Plus he didn’t just read Four Small Stones, he had a little nap and then read all the way through to book 8, Final Straw! Pretty impressive.
Other 5 out of 5 star reviews for the Urban Hunters series ...“Mad writing skills you’ve got.” Jessica B, Publisher, BooksATrueStory
“From the first page to last, you'll be hooked. This story is probably one of the best new young adult books out there. It's a great start to a great series!”JB Cacdac, Singapore Review of Books
Overview of Four Small Stones ...Billy’s gotta find some girls. The problem is he’s an Aborigine from the Australian bush and all he’s got to wear is a loincloth. Not a good look in the city. And what’s worse, he’s never even seen a girl before. Could life get anymore difficult? Why yes it could. Billy could fall in love ...
But first he has to survive two devious older brothers and a couple of initiations to prove his manhood. Great.
More praise ...“Taaffe's series is a wonderful action series for boys and girls who don't mind a little grit in their stories.” Tammy and Alex Dewhurst, Canada
“I have just finished reading the first three in this series and they were the funniest books I have ever read in my entire life! By the time I had finished Four Small Stones I had tears rolling down my cheeks I was laughing so hard. I couldn't wait to read Tribal Scarring and Walkabout and they were both just as good if not better. Can't wait for number 4.” Wendy and Andres, UK
“While written for a younger age bracket, adult humour has been included. However it has been written in such a way that what seems like a funny incident to a younger audience, holds an underlying meaning for the adults. I highly recommend this series to everybody who is interested in reading a beautifully written story.” Pinky Pollock, Australian Book Review
URBAN HUNTERS is laugh-out-loud, gut-churning, heart-wrenching storytelling at its best. Unlike anything you’ve ever read, in typical Taaffe fashion. Hilarious as usual. Always surprising. Wonderful!

But Caesar has not before encountered the Fomori, a dominion of wicked creatures which wage war against the human inhabitants and dominate much of Britain. Armed with his god-made spear, Guiamo joins with the tribal kings against their Fomori foe when Caesar departs.
Combining legitimate legends with actual historical events, Marshall Best weaves an epic story that portrays the ancient world as it might have been, a world which the ancient historians recorded as fact; a time when gods ruled the earth and strange creatures dominated the land. It is the era of civilized conquerors exploring distant and primitive new lands. Scant recordings left to us today only touch on the fringe of the fantastic and brutal reality that existed in those distant lands of the west. Into this age, young Guiamo enters the world stage as the great game-changer, and by his hand the gods and beasts become destined to disappear into myth and legend.
