"You are a lucky girl, Kate," Mom said, stroking Kate's hair off her forehead. "I can't believe it. This is the second time you have cheated death. You must be more than lucky. You must be very special. You must have something very important to do in this life." Mom's words poured over Kate like a warm blanket. She was special. She did have something important to do. The words rang true and soothed her like the warming rays of the sun after a cold rain. Join Kate Walker, an impetuous ten-year-old tomboy; her friend, Jake; and her incredible dog, Sniffers, through an adventurous summer of love and laughter, friendship and family, honesty, sorrow, change, and even death. Learn as Kate did from her beloved grandfather--there are great wonders in this world; you just need to know where to look.

We have all either read or heard about some faraway fantasy land where there are dragons, Elves, and dwarves. But they are just stories, right? But what if they werent? The Deeks family, just like you or I or anyone else for that matter, also thought that those stories were just that: stories. That is until one night, while on a family holiday in England, they get lost in the worst fog they have ever seen. And, when they finally get through the fog, they find that they have somehow passed through a portal into another world. The Deeks find themselves in the land of Angron and it is a land where Elves, dwarves, dragons and a whole lot more besides are very real. They also find themselves in a time when the whole of Angron is on the cusp of a war between good and evil and, if they only but knew it, their presence may well be the trigger that begins the bloody conflict. The only question is, do they try and get home before the dark forces of chaos engulf the whole of Angron or do they stay and face the storm?

Book Description
After five years spent maneuvering for Mr. Right, beautiful, feisty Faye Parker has finally snared a sensitive cutie named Mark. So when he pops the question, Faye is fully prepared to step out of the dating rat-race, call the caterer, and don the veil. Just as soon as she has one last teensy-weensy little fling. Then comes the dicey issue of the guest list. First there’s Nat, Faye’s ex—a narcissistic fashion model hell-bent on flaunting his substantial charms in Faye’s face, his latest Playboy bunny in tow. Next there’s Kate, Mark’s ex—a woman so indignant she’s not the bride that she’s liable to slit Faye’s zipper. And, of course, there’s Adam, Faye’s flamboyant sidekick, milking the chaos for all it’s worth while shamelessly ogling Nat’s abs. As the rehearsal dinner lurches toward the brink of a spin-the-bottle-fueled imbroglio, Faye must face the fact that marriage means more than a flawlessly executed reception. She’s got a serious decision to make—about Mark, about love, and about her own deepest desires. Wickedly funny, The Ex Files is a sexy, sophisticated caper that offers a brazenly edgy take on the complexities of the modern bride.
