A horror romance set during the volatile middle ages with witches and ghosts roaming the dark manor halls and forbidden woods; as our maidens, servants, knights, and nobles try to survive in a gothic landscape that punishes differences, especially those who wield the power of magic for good… or for evil.  The rural English county of Dunhamshire reels from paranormal consequences after the stoning of an accused witch. Silence Smith, a scullery maid for a noble family, finds herself haunted by spirits of the dead, both benign and malignant. Martin Foster, a servant boy, lives in fear that his magic powers will be discovered and he’ll lose his only friend, the viscount Sir Henry Stanley, who will inherit the Walforth estate and the surrounding lands. When an innocent maid is murdered and left in the courtyard of Walforth, occurrences of the supernatural increase. Martin and Silence’s secrets become inevitably entangled, and they must put their trust in each other to seek justice. Silence struggles with passionate feelings for a handsome knight called Sir Gilbert Manchester, unsure if she can trust him with her true self. Martin realizes a vengeful witch will have revenge upon them all, and if he doesn’t warn the others, he’ll have blood on his hands... again. A long buried mystery will rise like the undead and threaten to expose their magical gifts. The answers they seek may lie in the woods, a forbidden place where only wicked witches dare to go. 

A comedic retelling of Jane Austen's beloved battle of wits and hearts, WINE AND PREJUDICE takes the classic story of Pride and Prejudice with a twist (or a taste) unlike any other. Set amongst the consumers of the Willamette Valley wine industry, lovers of the quirky unknown towns in the Pacific Northwest where hundreds of vineyards line the low hills will appreciate the in-jokes of the region. There is a harmonious juxtaposition of a fancy industry with a population that just doesn't want to do fancy. Wine moguls like Netherfield Vineyards would never purchase land in Oregon to expand their business from the Napa Valley in California - would they? Yes, they would. Charles Bingley comes to town and begins to woo Jane Bennet. His friend, Darcy Fitzwilliam, is an unpleasant, proud, arrogant asshole and Lizzy Bennet is determined to hate him forever. The rest is history. Maybe you know the story, but maybe you’ve never seen it like this; fresh, crisp, maybe on the smoky side, with a robust finish. Best tried with a Brie cheese and water crackers. Curl up with your own glass and blanket to read in delight, and laugh-out-loud-funny, as Lizzy Bennet and Darcy begin their age-old rivalry once again in a new century. Take a turn about the room with us and have a sip. It delights, it satisfies. You're welcome.

When young Marie Stahlbaum's older sister Clara is kidnapped and dragged through a magic portal to a land of ice and snow, with nothing but the untrustworthy words of her godfather Drosselmeyer who has angered a magical queen and her army of mice, Marie and an enchanted Nutcracker set off to rescue her. Clara and Marie's aunt, the famous wicked witch Prolipita, may have something to do with the snow queen's revenge, an age-old rivalry between kingdoms, a prophecy about a dragon, and the wicked mice and their rat king. 

A tale of bravery, sisterhood, witchcraft and love, the retelling of E.T.A. Hoffman's Nutcracker tale with influences of the ballet, Grimm's Fairy Tales, and the Chronicles of Narnia will delight readers young and old. 

Young Peter Jones runs away from a hateful father and steals a cyberfairy from a circus. Turns out, she's not a cyber after all, she's a cyborg; a living creature with cybernetic additions. She was once a Fen, an alien from another planet, second star to the right and through the eye of a space hurricane. She was kidnapped and forced to work in the circus, and together they embark on a journey to take her home. Peter and Tinkerbell go on board The Star Maiden, a flying ship from the British Royal Navy, aiming to colonize the planets beyond our world. With Tinkerbell a stowaway, and Peter trying to keep his head down as a cabin boy, it's hard to make friends with his fellow ship workers and the enigmatic Joss Talen, an officer in a red coat who has taken a shine to him as if he was his own son. Fans of Peter Pan, Treasure Planet, Robert Louis Stevenson, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Star Wars will treasure the familiar tale told in new, refreshing ways.
