Book Description
He's a supreme dragon lord at the height of his power, but there's a conspiracy brewing. Old Dark is a viperous dragon lord who rules the world with brute force. For two hundred years, he and his dragons have terrorized humanity, forcing it to pay tribute or die. Dark's palace of blood and bone sits on caverns of treasure. He's stockpiled all the world's magic for his own personal use, making him akin to a god. There is another dragon in Dark's inner circle who wants Dark's power and fortune for himself. And if Dark doesn't stop his own overthrow, he'll suffer a fate far worse than death. But Dark won't fall easily. There's a reason the ancients called him Dark the Wicked… Old Dark is a different kind of dark fantasy, told through the eyes of a blood-thirsty dragon. Readers who like antiheroes, the Age of Fire series, and Smaug from Lord of the Rings will love this heart-pounding story of power, revenge, and true evil. V1.0

Book Description
The Krampus, a folkloric devil associated with St. Nicholas in Alpine Austria and Germany, has been embraced by the American counterculture and is lately skewing mainstream. The new Christmas he seems to embody is ironically closer to an ancient understanding of the holiday as a perilous, haunted season. In the Krampus' world, witches rule Christmas, and saints can sometimes kill.

Book Description
All he wants is to be left alone. All they want is a leader to hold them together. For decades, a pack of wild wolves has stood between the small village of Millhall and outside threats. What the villagers don’t know is that the howling entities protecting them are actually their next-door neighbors. Well, except for Fang, who would rather spend his time in wolf form than human. After all, why mingle with people when you can run alone, four paws solidly on the ground? It really is a shame the other Changers chose him as their leader, foiling his plan to spend the rest of his years in happy isolation. But when a village youth is injured and Fang stumbles into the heart of one of the Shaqui tribes living in the surrounding woods, he realizes his plan to live alone may need to be put on hold…at least long enough to stop an impending war. As the Changers try to untangle what, exactly, is behind the rising tension between Millhall’s villagers and the Shaqui tribes, Fang’s past explodes in his face in a way he’d never in his wildest dreams anticipated. Should he run—again? Or should he trust the team he’s worked so hard to keep at bay—a team that doesn’t care much for him, either… Check out the other books in the Shapestepper Series!: (#1) Dark Wolf (#2) Gray Blizzard (#3) Lost Pup
