Title: A Tended Garden

Blurb:

Alyssa is a natural witch whose thoughts have a way of coming true. Her coven is the only one around – well, the only one she’ll practice her beliefs with – but her high priestess, Rachel, is particularly difficult to please.

But Rachel has a secret she hasn’t told anyone in her coven – one that her ancestral witches before her kept from their covens too.  If Rachel’s to hold on to her traditions and the immortality she’s been promised, she’ll have to keep the women in her coven returning to the sacred grove, and that includes Alyssa.

But secrets have a way of being revealed, and when Alyssa stumbles across Rachel’s violent and horrifying history with the trees of the grove, the pact between the sacred grove and Rachel’s family may have a price too steep to pay.

Immortality or humanity – which one will win out in the end?

Title: Hood’s Ride is Red

Blurb:

Harkin Ross, otherwise known as Hood, hasn’t exactly had a happy childhood. His mother died in childbirth and his older brother perished in an unusual accident on the family farm. Hood’s father hasn’t coped well over the years and he’s spiraled into a black hole of anger, alcoholism and abuse.

But when Kenneth Lowell is hired as the family farm hand, Hood’s life vastly improves. Kenneth earns Hood’s trust, and friendship while teaching Hood some basic mechanics skills, helping Hood get his red Dodge Dart up and running.

Kenneth however is hiding a violent and primal secret of his own.  When Hood’s father discovers the Hired Hand is doing more than just yard work, the weekly trip to Grandpa’s house goes all to hell.

A red car, a werewolf, and a trip to grandpa’s house – this ain’t your usual Little Red Riding Hood.

Title: Dragged to Hell

Blurb:

Nathan has a special gift that has been with him for as long as he can recall.

He can see the dead, and they whisper secrets to him. But his unique talent isn’t appreciated by everyone, nor is his flamboyant style. Growing up without a mother, raised by a single father, dressing fabulously, and being a seer of the invisible leads to all kinds of schoolyard problems. Despite his father’s never-ending support, Nathan finds comfort in his darker side.

When Nathan discovers his love of fashion, femininity, and fierceness, it was only time before he evolved into Necrophilia Hex – the newest drag queen on the scene.

With dedication and study, and some spirits of the long-departed helping her along the way, Necrophilia soon becomes a local sensation. A big dark bear of man becomes a huge fan, and on their very first date, Necrophilia is introduced into the world of magicals, where she finally finds home.

High heels and black lipstick, a little attitude, and secrets from the dead. Don’t piss off this queen. She’ll slay you, and you’ll be living for it.
