The Guardian Heir
(Camp NaNo attempt August 2012)
Dragon's blood means nothing.
Aurora Alkiri is the youngest in the imperial family. With her elder brothers off ruling parts of the empire, she is left to fend for herself with the court intrigue. That is, until she is assassinated by her personal maid. Resurrected days later by unknown means, she ventures with her ancestor, Alkir, on a mission only she can uphold: she must stop her mother and bring an end to the Alkiri reign.
Wilhelm Alkiri has a secret. As the youngest Prince Regent, his likelihood of ascending the throne is minimal after his two elder brothers, Markal and Julius. Sent to be Regent of the southern kingdoms of Assyria and Xarezk, he meets the one person who challenges the throne and his beliefs at every step: Alaria El-Amin.
For the better part of twenty years, Jorev Cyran has lead the Cyran family to prominence and has faithfully followed the Alkiri family as the Right Hand of the Empire. Yet, after the mysterious death of his elder brother and former High Emperor, Jorev has begun to doubt the righteousness of the Dominion. Change has to come and, according to the ancient texts, the world must be free.

Promise
(book one in the Van Helsing Trilogy)
There are promises that must be broken.
The Supernatural walk the streets of the world hidden behind shadows and masks. Hidden from the known world for over two centuries, the Illuminati thrive in the shadows. But, instead of plotting ways to make the world bleed, they protect it from things that go bump in the night.
Alexandra Katona never really worried about the monthly meetings while in the walls of the ultra-exclusive Van Helsing Academy. Rigorous days in the gym and hour long strategy sessions prepare the next generation of Illuminati hunters for their future duties to the world. There are too many things inside the walls to worry about anything going on outside.
That was all before her status as 'Novice Hunter' came to an end and the Master Hunter, Stanton, disappeared. With Stanton missing, various hunters have moved in to claim his position. One has surpassed all the rest: Craven Abandonatto. With this new Master Hunter, some unsettling propositions have arisen to limit the hunting of rogue Followers of Jormungandr and her family has turned on the one person she ever looked up to: her sister. Now, seeing the darker side of the world she grew up knowing, Alex has to decide which is more important: blood or her God given duty?

Black Cat Curse
(Book one in the Black Trilogy)
There must always be a fourth.
As laid down by the ancient Followers of Hel, every coven must have four members, one to represent each of the four elements--air, earth, fire and water--and the four directions--East, North, South and West. To create an unbalanced coven would result in chaos.
When Willa Ford is accepted into Ashwood Prepatory, she is introduced to a world she never knew existed. Appeareing to be a prestigious school in the back woods of Wisconsin, Ashwood is far from the boring boarding school she has attended since her mother's death three years ago. Witches and warlocks walk the halls, protective spells line the walls and late night rituals in the school's massive courtyard are all common place.
Last in the line of the world's greatest witches, Willa is coaxed into joining the school's most prestigious coven, the Daughters of Darkenss, and they are everything their name brings. With the help of her coven, Willa explores her own family history and their ties to black magic but the deeper they delve into the dark arts, the harder it is to leave.

Blood Moon
(Book one in the Moon Saga)
The blood moon calls.
There are several known werebeast-vampire enclaves scattered throughout the world. Legions of werebeasts rose to know nothing of a world free from their blood sucking masters. On the eve of a werebeast's sixteenth Samhain, they are placed into one of four separate callings. They must follow their specific livelihood or else face the consequence of death: Protectors shield the pack and their masters from danger, Gatherers bring the masters nourishment and Mothers conceive new werebeasts to start the cycle anew. The fourth is considered a punishment among the pack than a way of life: spend the rest of one's life with their masters in human form.
Selena Castor is an initiate who is bound to become a Protector. She is fierce, fast and untamable: everything needed to be a Protector. After a new family, the Vincent family, is brought to the compound, Selena's world slowly spirals out of control. Her eldest brother mysteriously dies and her position of Protector is slipping away from her. Selena is determined to right the wrongs that have fallen on her but that may mean leaving her family and friends behind.
