Titania Academy

Faerie Misborn

BOOK ONE: Life on the streets of Manhattan was bleak or an orphan with little education. Holly considered herself "street smart." She had learned to survive, deal with the cold, and ignore the hunger, but at almost 14-years old, she feared life would be one long journey of misery. Then she met him. Would a faerie named Chance change her life?

Faerie Elemental

BOOK TWO: Holly thought her second semester at Titania Academy would be easier. Her father had charged the academy's students to protect his daughter, and his directive seemed ironclad. But Holly and her father may have seriously misjudged the power and tenacity of the Oak King's rival faction.

FAerie Born

BOOK THREE: He had platinum blonde hair, just like me. It was long and was arranged in several braids as well as hanging loose and long down his back. He was dressed in a royal silver outfit, with blue-silver brocade edging. He wore a short traveling cape. His face was slim, his jaw was strong, his eyes piercing, and his smile contagious. He held my gaze as he came forward, bowed, took my hand, and kissed it in greeting. “Mistress Holly, we finally meet,” he murmured in deep, warm voice. I couldn’t speak. I just stared, a silly smile on my face. The emissary from the Elfen court was drop-dead gorgeous..

Faerie War

It's bad enough that they're interrupting my classes at Titania Academy. This semester, classes include Concealment and Heredity, and I'll learn about my true Fae Folk form. And Advanced Glamour, and Herbology. And Flying! I'm supposed to be kissing Chance - yes, he's my boyfriend now! - under the moonlight. But noooooooooooo. Instead, I have to FIGHT because this "Faction" as they now call themselves, has decided to DECLARE WAR? A faerie war? What does that even mean?

by samaire WYNNE

the pirates of moonlit bay

The first in the addictive, action-packed Paladin Princess series, The Pirates of Moonlit Bay features never-see-it-coming twists and razor-sharp dialogue. Charlotte has never been one to play by the rules. When kidnapped by pirates on a ship pulled by giant manta rays, she is fearless in facing her deadly adversaries. She must fight for her life against ruthless enemies and fantastic beasts, while being thrust into a world of supernatural alchemy.

THE PIRATE PRINCESS

According to legend, it holds the lost knowledge of all mankind. Charlotte wants it. Badly. She has her trusty troupe, a treasure map, and a worthy ship. But will that be enough? The map can’t even begin to hint at what awaits them as they descend a rocky staircase into the heart of a volcano. Friendships will be tested. Lives will be on the line. They will face challenges even more deadly than the dreaded kraken. And they will face questions. Questions that go to the heart of their mission – and the core of their souls.

the lost treasure

Decaying corpses of powerful sirens float in the sea, forming a grisly trail toward the horror that killed them. Mermaids whisper about a new threat in the ocean, a menace that imperils all the denizens of the waters, from Swerighe, to Alkebulan, to all the undiscovered seas.
Charlotte and her troupe, searching for clues, hear whispers of a secret treasure that might be connected to the siren deaths. An aged merman who has traveled farther than any other, reveals to them the tale of a strange, strange land full of steep mountains, and dangerous creatures. Inside, ancient catacombs, concealed by a hideous shroud and an ancient poison, lies the lost treasure of El Dorado.

the pirate prince

The land is dying. Great swaths of the northlands are growing warmer at an alarming rate. Wildlife is suffering. Monsters from the realm of fable and legend are being released from the glaciers, attacking villages. And something – SOMETHING has caused this. A great evil has emerged from the ice and lain this curse upon the land. Charlotte’s parents – the queen and prince consort of Swerighe – have been abducted, and the land is in an uproar. Only Charlotte and her troupe can save the day. But this evil is desperate to survive. It will stop at nothing to take what it wants. And it wants her baby.

Mad world Trilogy

EPIDEMIC

The Black Plague is ancient history. It killed 100 million people nearly seven centuries ago, halfway around the world from the technologically advanced research center at Stanford University. Scientists there have recently begun examining samples of bone marrow from plague-infected corpses unearthed in Europe. All the necessary safeguards are in place. What could go wrong? Alyssa and Jake are away with their class on a highly anticipated year-end trip to Broadway with their senior acting class when all hell breaks loose at home. Traveling back, and trying to find their families, they encounter deadly results. Riots are breaking out. People are being evacuated. And they have no idea what's happening to their families. 

SANCTUARY

The year is 2017, and the Black Plague infection has swept across most of the United States, leaving death and chaos in its wake. Martial law is the rule rather than the exception, with outbreaks cropping up when they're least expected. Alyssa and her friends must not only battle outbreaks of the disease, but also find themselves pursued by government agents – men and women determined to track them down at any cost. Fleeing north to the fabled Sanctuary, Alyssa, Jacob, DeAndre, Caitlyn, Risa and Luke face disturbing ordeals and terrible tragedy as they encounter unbelievable situations in their struggle to reach safety. Using their skills and wits in their fight to survive against ever worsening odds, they weather hardship, betrayal, and the ever-present specter of death as they flee north, all the while vowing to protect one another – and most of all their precious 5-year-old Luke, from a world gone mad.

DESPERATION

With Alyssa near death, Luke, Jacob and their companions make a desperate attempt to reach Boston with the final ingredient needed for the plague antidote. They must travel through the Canadian wilderness, some of the roughest country in North America. Along the way they are joined by new friends and old as they fight to reach their destination and save Alyssa. What they don’t know is that something is hunting them. Something evil is lurking, waiting to strike when they least expect it. After years of fighting courageously against the living plague, they’d thought they knew their enemy. They’d believed their wits, bravery and strength would be enough to win this fight against the threat that had overrun so much of the world they once knew. But they were wrong. Now Luke, Risa, Jacob, DeAndre and Jonathan face their most dangerous trials yet as they battle the ever-present zombie threat, along with a new challenge they never saw coming.

CONNECTION with 48 natural contemplations

Charmaine Coimbra

This book offers 48 moments of contemplation and meditation that follows a review of our links to nature. It is meant to help us walk in peace and respect regardless of our faith or belief system. I have borrowed the knowledge of scientists, quoted poets and writers, and share the wisdom of academics, philosophers, mystics, and the ancients to connect what I know about our seas to life, our trees to strength, our deserts to vision, and our homes to compassion, and all four elements to each other. I encourage you to find quiet moments and discover these outer links to personal inner peace, wisdom, and health.
