Blaze (Blaze 1)
London, 1904 - All Artemis wants for her 16th birthday is a fancy new dress and maybe a few stolen sips of champagne. What she gets is a fiery sword and an inescapable destiny. She’s the Blaze—fated to protect the city from Darkness.
With all of two days training, she must strike back against a rising evil. But her new powers come at a cost, and the truth behind them is more terrifying than any monster.
Cinch your corset and strap in for a wild ride through turn-of-the-century London
Mirror (Blaze 2)
Magic mirrors, rampaging Hellspawn, and it’s only Tuesday.
Whether it’s called Halloween, All Hallows’ Eve, or Samhain, for Artemis Schäfer, it’s spelled trouble. It’s a time when the Veil between worlds is at its thinnest, when sometimes things break through from the Otherworld. And sometimes they have a helping hand.
When enchanted mirrors let a legion of creatures through the Veil, Artemis has three challenges. First, find out who sold the mirrors to unsuspecting customers around London. Second, deal with the demons that break through. Third, try not to make a fool of herself when she catches Liam with another girl.
Saving the world? Easy. Figuring out boys? Give her a city full of demons any day. Even Halloween.

Legacy (Blaze 3)
Artemis has hit her stride as the Blaze. By day her friendship with Liam blossoms, and by night she's the Champion of Light, protecting London from the darkness. Everything's going her way--when a dark stranger from her past appears.
Her biological father, Jack the Ripper, is back, returning through a tear in the Veil between worlds. He claims he's left his evil ways behind, but leopards and murderous psychopaths don't change their spots, and his nefarious plans go far beyond seeing his daughter again. If he gets his way, Hell will literally be unleashed upon the earth.
And you think you have family problems?

The Frame (Hollywood Heroes, Book 1)
Julie Evans is a woman in search of a sequel.
After escaping from The Firm and pulling a Runaway Bride, she expected to find--if not herself--at least adventure. So far though, all she's found is the bottom of a macaroon box and her uncle Leo's old 1980s action movie trilogy: Try Hard, Try Harder and Again with the Trying.
All that changes when the handsome star of Pulpier Fiction and The French Canadian Connection, Ian Hunter, helps save her uncle from a couple of back-alley thugs. But it wasn't just a garden-variety mugging and Ian Hunter wasn't there by chance. The truth behind a twenty-year old murder is about to be exposed and the thugs aren't the only ones who think Leo is the key. Ian believes Leo has proof that will exonerate his grandfather for a murder he didn't commit—film of the crime itself. But all Leo has are some embarrassing home movies and a little sciatica.
Sparks fly as Julie and Ian search for the proof that will save her uncle and his grandfather. If they don't find it in time, their Hollywood ending won't be a happy one.
