The Child of Fire and Earth"I loved this book! A wonderful and engaging page turner aimed at children/young teens that is full of great characters and imagery but also contains lots of important and positive messages!" - Owen Hollifield
Hew had always dreamt of being a knight. Take that, villain! Yes, princess, of course I'll rescue you. Thank you, your Majesty, yes I am great with a sword. Unfortunately, being a farmer's son made that dream impossible. Real life was more about cleaning animal mess and checking for weeds.
Until he met the dragon.It opened up a hidden world of magic around him. Faeries. Hobgoblins. Monsters, shape changers, brownies; you name them, he met them.
But there was a problem.
A blight to the north was making magic fade from the Earth. If it disappeared completely, then everyone would freeze to death.
Yes, that included Hew's annoying little sister, but even she didn’t deserve to be frozen. He would have to be brave and defeat this blight. The question was…
What could a nearly eleven-year-old do?

David And Bath Sheba
The Terms and Conditions Trilogy
In a future where the human race has split into three species, the mentally-evolved Illuminatos have conquered the other two in a brutal Evolutionary War. Now, the seven most powerful Illuminatos, the Council, control the Earth, ruling over the other two human species through violent oppression.

Tristan is an Illuminatos who has turned his back on his own kind to follow his principles. An idealist hoping to restore peace and equality for all species, he cannot escape his past, and it may force him to make a terrible choice.
Their meeting will change the world, but will it be for the better?

Aida Bode's David and Bath-Sheba, is a wonderfully written adaptation of the Biblical story of David, the shepherd boy who rose to be King of Israel.

An accidental spell changed Ellyria's life forever. Now irrevocably bound to a demon, she must learn to live with the consequences of her actions and come to terms with the fact that she has a one way ticket to Hell imprinted on her soul, but she has bigger problems to deal with when her new companion reveals that she is being hunted for her powerful magic.
Zangrunath hates being the servant to a mere teenager, but, due to the conditions of the spell she cast, he does his duty, defending the witch with his life. He helps protect her from enemies in high places, and makes sure that all of her desires become attainable. What he didn’t expect was to become romantically involved with the woman and for her to broker a deal in order to have him at her side for eternity.
Keeping the secrets of magic becomes the least of their concerns as they navigate through a lifetime of sin, treachery, and pain that could rival that of the Devil himself.
When she cast the first spell, Ellyria should have read the Terms and Conditions.

Waiting for the darkness to return.The spirit of the season is far more than Harold Trapp bargained for.

Miranda is being sent away for school. Not to learn, but to steal magic from her supposed peers. That summer, her family went to the Demon Caves, and she and several family members contacted a deadly disease. They poured that disease into her twin brother, and now, for the first time, Miranda has taken off her mask and entered the world by herself.
She tries to create a personality unobtrusive but unlikable enough for her to go through school unnoticed and unbothered, but instead she became the campus bad girl. Complete with minions.
Soon, demons start to appear in her new school, and any hope of normalcy is lost with them. Why couldn't she have pretended to be a normal person for once? And why are these pretend minions starting to feel more like friends and family than anyone actually related to her?

Riley Madison is a Shifter, one of the human population born with the ability to transform into the animal they most closely resemble: their spirit animal. Knowing your spirit animal means knowing what kind of person you are. Most Shifters identify their spirit animal by their teens. Riley is approaching seventeen and still doesn’t know hers; a fact that’s beginning to worry her. She befriends Tristan Dawes, another Shifter in the same situation, and quickly finds their fates are connected when she sees an outline of a star in his eyes. A man named Christopher has a master plan for the three Shifters marked by the stars in their eyes. He needs them to identify their spirit animals in order to bring about his life’s work, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make them. At first he tries subtlety. When that fails, he targets Riley’s family. As Riley grows closer to identifying her spirit animal, her mother receives a cryptic phone call and disappears to find her father. The Shifters draw closer to war with Elementalists (humans with the ability to control one of the elements) and Riley finds herself fighting for the first time in her life – against Elementalists, Shifters, and even her own family.

Club Medusa
After a tragic end to their military careers, Gerry and Paul have rebuilt their lives as civilians. Two years later, it now seems the spectres of their past are finally beginning to fade.
