Status: Available thru Liquid Silver Books

Excerpts: Check back soon

Summary: Dragon Shifter Kryssa Drake works twenty hour days, seven days a week racing toward a sabbatical and hiding from the dating world after a devastating break-up that left her questioning her sense of self. The highlight of her day is the two hour lunch spent listening to Near Human Xander Luciano, co-owner of Luciano's Deli across the street, and living vicariously through his on-again/off-again relationship with Avian Caleb James. Over the years and countless intimacies of their friendship, Kryssa has grown to love Xander and the idea of Xander and Caleb, but ideas and potential are not enough to brave the pain of the past so soon.

Pasty Chef and Near Human Xander Luciano has spent the last two years trying to charm Kryssa out of her vow of a five year isolation following her break-up. He's spent that same two years sorting out his feelings for his college sweetheart Caleb and trying to figure out a way to pin the restless Avian down or to finally make peace with a few months of happiess at a time. When Caleb opens the pastry cafe they always dreamed about and invites him to become a partner, Xander sees the flicker of hope that maybe half of is dream is about to come true. When he's volunteered by Kryssa's brother and boss to assist her in her current projects as well as help her relax in his cabin up north, Xander thinks his persistance and culinary skills just might help him have it all.

Sometimes the only way to get a good man to settle down is to have a good woman help. And oft times the most direct way to a Dragon's heart is through her stomach.

BLOODSPRITE~ The first volume of the Dante Books in the Therian World Series

Status: Completed

Excerpts: Available

Summary: Travel through the Faerie Lands is a dangerous proposition. At least, if getting back home is important to you. Living blood-drinker Dante Dyani is expelled from Faerie and trapped in a world where Fae are commonly known, Therain Shifters are the dominant preternatural force and Vampires stalk the night openly, as global citizens.

Mistaken for one of the elusive Fae BloodSprites, Dante carves out a niche as a government assassin and enforcer agent. The solitary life provided by her cover helps to hide her particular blend of Vampiric and Fae-based abilities. Her caution is thwarted when Julius, the Canid leader of the Great Lakes Region, calls in Dante's help to put a stop to the dealings of Unyanka, the largest crime boss in his territories.

While looking for legitimate charges, Dante finds out that submissive shifters are being physically and mentally abused in the course of being used by Unyanka as drug mules and property trades to settle debts. Furthermore they are denied the right to even Challenge or defend themselves. They are voiceless and without a dominant willing to speak up for them and bring charges, there’s no proof and no place to run.

Despite the fact that it endangers the truth about her identity, Dante begins taking the mistreated shifters home with her and becomes more than a little involved. Through them she learns a way to make all of the submissive shifters in the territory safe, while bringing down Unyanka in the process.

It means coming up from under the radar and jumping into the Trifecta’s politics with both feet. It also means changing the lives of countless submissive shifters and opening herself up to detection. There’s no doubt that their lives are more important than her secret and the abilities it hides from her allied government, and her enemies alike. But can she protect them if her secret gets out?
