Portland has a dragon problem.

Now genuinely a Spirit Knight, sixteen-year-old Claire wants to know everything about the job. Fate dumps a dragon on her and she only has more questions. She knows how much she needs training and wishes she could snap her fingers to learn everything at once.

Justin can answer Claire’s questions, but between his demanding young daughters, his sarcastic horse, and the recent loss of his own mentor, he’d rather just be a Knight. No one told him adopting an apprentice would devour all his free time and dredge up the past.

In this sequel to Girls Can’t Be Knights, Claire and Justin face dragons, ghosts, witches, echoes, and memories. Their survival and the fate of Portland may depend on Justin’s intellect. They’re doomed.

Portland has a witch problem.

Claire expects Christmas vacation to deliver an earned respite from thinking, doing, and obeying. She gets to sleep in and play with dragons. Right? Of course not. Ghosts don’t care about vacation.

Drew wishes magic could finish high school for him. Who cares about calculus or dangling participles when he can crush mutant bugs with his mind? It can’t do much more, though, until he gets off his butt and learns how to use it properly.

In this fifth and final installment of the Spirit Knights series, Claire and Drew find out what happens when they spend three weeks ignoring the obligations of the power at their command and live a normal life.

Spoiler alert: nothing good.

Uncertain. Eighteen-year-old Emma Harper knows she has a problem. Now she has to learn to live with it.

Learning to eat like a normal person, though, is the least of her worries. When hostile aliens interrupt her attempt to get herself and her Marines home to Earth, she’ll have to evade capture and figure out what really matters to her.

Who is she? How can she help? What can she even do a zillion light years from everything she’s ever known?

Five lives hang on the answers, and she doesn’t even know where to start.

Decency, humanity, and humility don’t live on the Darkside. Seattle’s underbelly in a darker, grimmer future plays host to a collection of novellas, each exploring how people wind up in that forsaken hellhole–and what they’re willing to do to prove they belong.

Street Doc

On the run for a crime he committed, Hideo has only the shirt on his back and memories of a beautiful wife, a great job, and an exclusive view from his bedroom. The once-respected surgeon has to learn to live on the streets of Darkside Seattle–a place no one sane wants to go and no one stuck there can leave.

Hideo’s skills can keep others alive, but he’s never dodged bullets before. The future looks grim.

Fixer

Victoria Godhand, the unflinching chief negotiator for her father’s megacorp, wants a lot of things. Respect tops the list.

Ross Lynch, her father’s handpicked successor and the company’s COO, also wants a lot of things. Victoria tops the list.

If she can’t have what she wants, neither can he. Victoria would rather rot in jail–and it may come to that.

Mechanic

Isabella Acosta has lived in the barrio half of the Darkside her entire life–no cops, no laws, no way out.

Respected for surviving so long, Isabella keeps her head down and doesn’t make waves–until someone puts a gun to her nephew’s head, that is. Now, she’ll do anything to protect the boy she helped her brother raise–anything.

Aliens. Space pirates. Dragons.

Madison Wayward, niece to the most notorious captain among the outlaw Stardrifters, has a plan. She’ll stop at nothing to give humanity a flicker of hope in its darkest hour. If she would consider pausing, her plans might not blow up in her face quite so much.

Kirehe Mahono, a skilled warrior with an uncommon gift, has a dragon. She’ll stop at nothing to protect her people from the enemy machines infesting her planet. If she had something better than a knife to bring to a laser fight, she might have better luck.

Taken prisoner by tyrannical aliens and dumped into a slave pit, both women will have to harness their strengths to survive. And escape.

Everyone got comfortable. It was understandable, really: soft beds, good food, contentment. Not for Bobby; together with Stephen, he’s shaking off the torpor and getting into bed with Privek–nothing is out of the question to find the lost eleven. Will the Vampire-Dragon Inquisition turn out to be something no one expected? Is the mysterious agent still fifteen steps ahead of them all?

A warlord, a cruise ship, a splashdown–oh my! Dragons in Chains continues the story begun in Dragons in Pieces, taking Bobby to new places, new depths, and new buffets.

It all comes down to this: Bobby has to find the girl, save the woman, wake the team, stop the disaster, open the door, and eat the partridge in a pear tree. Not even Head Cowboy can do it all alone. Like it or not, he needs help, and the only places he has left to look for it are the unlikely ones.

In this final installment of the Maze Beset trilogy, Bobby learns things he doesn’t want to know, does things he doesn’t want to do, and says things he doesn’t want to say. What does a guy have to do to get a beer around here?

Real superheroes wear denim.

All Bobby wanted was a girl to come home to after a hard day of work. Like the last one said before she left, he was going exactly two places–no and where–and he was happy with that. But somebody had other plans for him. A murder. The Terrorist Watch List. For what? Underage drinking? Things couldn’t possibly get worse. Right?

Oh yes, they could.

A lot worse.

He wouldn’t believe superheroes were real if he weren’t one himself.

Tiny robot dragons send him, chasing his humanity and his future, on the trail to discovering his past and a place to call “home.” If he’s lucky, maybe he can get a beer there.

Portland has a Knight problem

Now that the Spirit Knights have accepted sixteen-year-old Claire into their order, she just has to convince all its Knights she belongs. Forced into a test to prove her worth, she discovers more than anyone wants her to.

Meanwhile, Justin runs around playing janitor. He’s made some big messes, but cleaning them up puts him on a new path, one he never imagined his future could hold. All on Thanksgiving.

In this third installment of the Spirit Knights series, Claire thinks she knows what must be done to save herself and the world from the plague of ghosts the Spirit Knights have left behind.

If she’s wrong, there may be nothing left to save.

Portland has a mutant cockroach problem.

Death didn’t solve anything for Claire. Now condemned to an eternity of roaming the Earth as a sixteen-year-old, she has to figure out this whole ghost thing from the other side. Lesson one: memories are power. Lesson two: this sucks.

Drew has no idea how to deal with the loss of his best–and only–friend. With the questionable guidance and help of the ghost possessing him, he’s trying. He’s really trying.

In this fourth installment of the Spirit Knights series, old friends and new threats force both to confront their pasts. While the Knight’s away, though, the bugs will play. Claire and Drew must each find the strength to conquer their fears or Portland won’t survive the giant cockroach apocalypse.

Even the Spirit Knights could not see this coming …

Sixteen-year-old Claire wants her father back. His death left her only memories and an empty locket. After six difficult years in foster care, her vocabulary no longer includes “hope” and “trust.” But everything changes dramatically when she encounters Justin, a Spirit Knight restlessly hunting dangerous ghosts that devour the living, who rides into her path on his magical horse and takes her under his wing. When an evil spirit threatens Claire’s life, she’ll need Justin’s help to survive.

A fun and absorbing adventure tale full of humor and magic!

No one, including Claire, believes she can be a Spirit Knight, even when all signs show she is ready to become one. This is because the Spirit Knights have been a boys’ club for over a thousand years. Worse yet, Claire will have to dive into the hair-raising ghost-hunting job before she gets full access to the Knights’ order. Fortunately for her, she has Justin as her private tutor. With the help of his sarcastic horse and saintly wife, he’ll teach her the finer points of the job. Add in a little luck, and they both might survive long enough for her to learn it all.

Girls Can’t Be Knights is a magical and unique adventure story that will touch your soul and raise your spirits.

Eighteen-year-old Emma Harper misses her brother. Two years ago, the bad news–MIA–killed a piece of her heart. Her father ignoring her dreams of building spaceships and demanding she become an accountant killed another. Lost and rudderless, Emma drifts through a life she doesn’t want with friends who pretend to care.

When a bizarre event sends her sailing across the universe, she’ll have to decide what matters most to her. Life or death, the universe doesn’t care.

But does Emma?

A standalone novel in the Portland of the Spirit Knights series

Portland has a coven problem. Sixteen-year-old Sophie Harris wishes magic could solve all her problems. It created them, after all. It made her a disappointment, a pathetic waste of space in her mom’s coven. Every time they pat her on the head for being a good little girl, they push her down a little more. She can’t protect herself or help with anything that matters, or so they tell her again and again.

Armed with new friends who care more than her family ever has, Sophie plunges into a quest to prove herself worthy to a mother who can’t see her as anything but a weak child. One way or another, she’s going to try to force her mom to give her the respect her friends want her to believe she deserves. If she’s lucky, the dark secrets kept under lock and key by both of Portland’s covens won’t get in the way. If she’s even luckier, they won’t get anyone killed.

This story takes place after the Spirit Knights series.
