Spicy Urban Succubus Fantasy with elements of supernatural harem and light character progression.
University life can be a real grind, and for twenty-two-year-old Dane Staley that means long hours in the library and not a lot of time for a social life. Not that he’s complaining. As a self-confessed bookworm, the library is a place of comfort for him. That is until he goes in search of research materials in a little used section of the lower level and his life changes forever.
Most people’s eyes aren’t ever opened to the reality that humans aren’t the only inhabitants of this world. How will Dane cope when he’s confronted with the truth and everything that comes along with inadvertently binding himself to a supernatural being? Will he succumb to the pressure or rise to the occasion?
Find out in this spicy urban-fantasy romance, with lots of paranormal intrigue and self-discovery.
Warning: Accidentally Summoned Succubus is a pure spicy urban fantasy adventure written with adult men in mind, but I hope women will find it entertaining as well. It is obviously pure fantasy, so expect unrealistic over-the-top situations, some wish fulfillment, a little sophomoric humor, strong language, and a heavy helping of naughty bits. Oh, and a bunch of supernatural creatures, too. Enjoy at your own risk.
In need of extra income, Dane Caravelle applies for a new program that allows other people to “rent” her and lets them essentially live her life. This groundbreaking scientific technology is meant to allow those who may be disadvantaged or disabled to experience a normal life. Although it requires rigorous testing to become a rental, Dane is ecstatic when she’s approved.
She’s nervous in the beginning and is assured she won’t even know when her renter is observing her unless she checks the app, but that hasn't been her experience. Nudges here and there. Feeling as if someone is watching her. And was that a man she saw reflected in her eyes when she looked in the mirror? The program promised only females would be paired with females. Who is he? Or rather, what is he?
The nudges turn into phone calls, then voicemails, and she quickly learns that we’re definitely not alone in this universe. There are others other there, other species from other worlds, and they’re just looking to survive…or so she’s told. Despite warnings from her friends, she agrees to help the stranger. But is this “alien” real, or is she being led on? Either way, she discovers she’s grown to care for him.
And that’s just the beginning of her problems.
Destiny has a hold on them. But when their entire bloodline is threatened, will the bold actions of two fearless women trigger catastrophic consequences?
Death haunts Belinda Michaelson. After surviving an apocalypse in another dimension, the otherworldly barkeep is determined to keep her new timeline safe from the universe’s wrath. But she can’t resist tempting fate by staying close to those she called family in her past life.
Tracy Silver has finally found happiness. But after she accidentally frees a bitter foe from purgatory, she watches in horror as the resurrected woman murders her groom to settle old scores. Using a magical potion to bring him back from the dead—only to lose him again a few months later—the grieving bride ignites a dangerous race to win a century-long feud.
With Belinda stuck between a rock and a hard place when her time-traveling tavern disappears, she taps into her personal gifts to save her family and stop the world from ending once again. But with Tracy sailing through eras to “fix” the past, desperate to return her beloved to her arms no matter the cost, can Belinda convince Tracy to stop denying destiny before it’s too late?
Can they repair what’s been broken before Armageddon reappears with a vengeance?
The Dance of Dreams is the triumphant conclusion to The Stains of Time family saga series. If you like ricocheting anomalies, sly humor, and ordinary lives flipped on their heads, then you'll adore E. Christopher Clark's contemporary fantasy.

Grab a pen and hone your writing skills under the guidance one of the greatest teachers of the craft.
Edith Wharton made her claim in the literary world as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature. She is famous for her works of fiction, which include The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, and Ethan Frome. Breaking from this tradition, The Writing of Fiction sets itself apart as a distinctive work of nonfiction, in which Wharton pulls back the curtain to reveal the theories behind a great story.
The Writing of Fiction delves into the timeless questions of all aspiring writers:
1. How do I find inspiration?
2. How do I turn thoughts and ideas into words?
3. How do I make my characters seem real?
4. How do I write something original when so much has already been written?
5. How do I tell a compelling story?
Wharton offers advice specific to writing short stories and writing novels. She pulls insights from other great writers along the way and concludes with an in-depth analysis of French novelist Marcel Proust.
The Writing of Fiction is a chance to mingle with renowned writers and find your own voice. Consider it Wharton’s personal invitation to discover your own potential and jump-start your creative process.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – The most well-known of the Oz stories, this book follows Dorothy Gale as she is swept up in a tornado and transported to the Land of Oz, a world of danger and magic that she is unable to leave. She seeks out the Wizard of Oz for his assistance in getting home, and he agrees to help – if she will kill the Wicked Witch of the West.

When Dorothy left, her friends The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were given rulership over the Emerald City and the Winkie Kingdom.

Ozma of Oz – Dorothy Gale is whisked away to a land called Ev, after being blown into the sea during a storm. After being captured and kept imprisoned by an evil princess, she is rescued by Princess Ozma and her familiar friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, among others. The band must make their way through obstacles and dangers to make it back to the Emerald City one again.'
Laughter, happiness, romance, and just a bit of deception and intrigue – these are what make up Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. Though Shakespeare is probably most well known for the dramatic tragedies that have defined the genre for centuries, his comedies are just as well beloved and performed in theaters across the globe.
Shakespearean comedies are defined by their humorous writing, their satire, the often-tangled romances, disguises and deceptions, and a thoughtful “fool” who is often the bearer of the smartest lines in the plays. Most of the time, there is also at least one (or two, or three, or four) weddings that tie the entire plot together in a neat package just in the nick of time. These conventions are iconic in the genre, and are what gave Shakespeare’s comedies their place in the literary canon.
This collection of the best of Shakespeare’s comedies includes:
- A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream
- The Merchant of Venice
- Much Ado About Nothing
- As You Like It
- Twelfth Night
- The Tempest
New adventures lie ahead as the plucky and young Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to her memories in rural Avonlea and heads for Redmond College in Nova Scotia. Anne of the Island follows Anne, her friends and potential suitors through all four years of college, and tells the story of how a young woman’s idealized notions of romance are replaced by a mature sensibility of what love really is.
'I'd like to add some beauty to life,'' said Anne dreamily. ''I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more... though I know that IS the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.”
Re-enter the idyllic life of Anne Shirly in Anne’s House of Dreams, the fifth book in L.M. Montgomery’s beloved Anne of Green Gables series.
Anne’s House of Dreams begins after the events of Anne of Windy Poplars, and gives readers a look at the early days of Anne’s married life with her childhood love Gilbert Blythe. After buying “The House of Dreams together on the seashore of Four Winds Point, they become friends with their new neighbors, each of whom have their own interesting quirks. They befriend a kind lighthouse keeper, a beautiful woman in a sad marriage, and a writer on the search for inspiration for the next great Canadian novel. These relationships build and inspire growth for Anne, as she transitions from a young woman to a wife and mother, while still keeping an eye for the extraordinary pieces of the ordinary world around her.
This book follows Anne and Gilbert as they experience the highs and lows of early marriage, through both painful losses and indescribable joys as they begin to build their family. In their quiet life, they find deep meaning through their connections with the people and world around them. This, as well as the rest of the Anne of Green Gables series, is a timeless classic that readers of all ages will enjoy.
The adventures in the marvelous land of Oz continue in Ozma of Oz, the third in L. Frank Baum’s whimsical and imaginative series. This title sees the return of many beloved characters and settings from the original book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
In this fantastical tale, Dorothy Gale is whisked away to a land called Ev, after being blown into the sea during a storm. After being captured and kept imprisoned by an evil princess, she is rescued by Princess Ozma and her familiar friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, among others. After the daring rescue, the band must make their way through obstacles and dangers to make it back to the Emerald City one again.
L. Frank Baum’s adventures in Oz are beloved tales that continue to amuse and delight listeners over a century after publication. This entry in the series demonstrates timeless themes of seeking home, finding friends in unexpected circumstances, and outsmarting evil with kindness and cleverness.
“For although I feel that I know a tremendous lot, I am not yet aware how much there is in the world to find out about. It will take me a little time to discover whether I am very wise or very foolish.'

When Dorothy left, her friends The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were given rulership over the Emerald City and the Winkie Kingdom.
