NEW RELEASES
A Perfectly Normal Paranormal Valentine anthology featuring Leisl Leighton and Samantha Marshall was released 18 October.
Who will get their happy ever after the night the veil to the Otherworld thins?
When Demi-Gods and Demons, Witches and Fae, Dracons and Shifters come out to play on All Hallow’s Eve, it’s a night for mischief, for revelry, for power plays. It’s not a night for love … or is it?
Anything could happen this Halloween ... and probably will.
A Perfectly Paranormal Halloween is the second offering in the A Perfectly Paranormal Anthology series by new and award-winning Australian authors, and features continuing and standalone stories that will give you goosebumps of the romantic kind. With sweet or spicy romance, action, revenge, secrets and curses, delicious chills and emotional thrills, you are sure to fill all your Halloween desires with this exciting collection of paranormal novellas.
Headless by Samantha Marshall
Cursed and headless ex-knight Devlin didn’t think his un-life could get any worse. With his honour in tatters, all he wants is a chance to break his curse… except the demon who can break said curse has better things to do with her time – like running from the Demon Hunters who followed him to town, destroying the life she’d eked out for herself. Forced to work together to survive, Devlin gets another chance to change her mind; all he has to do is turn up the charm, appeal to the sense of honour his sinfully delicious demonic companion doesn’t have, and hope she doesn’t mount his head on her wall as a trophy – or worse, his heart.
Soul Cursed by Leisl Leighton
A soul cursed, a love discovered, an evil unbound …
Immortal witch, Korinna Soteira, has spent 2000 years uselessly trying to save the souls lost when she didn’t stop Mt Vesuvius from erupting. Then the betraying cupid she once loved arrives with the very items she needs to complete her quest. The catch: she can have them only if she helps him wrest his mother’s stolen powers from an evil witch. All they have to do is travel through the Underworld on Halloween, vanquish the witch and get out before all hell, quite literally, breaks loose. No problems … if only the Fates didn’t have other plans.

Broken Bonds by Keri Arthur (Book 8, Lizzie Grace) was released 26 October.
The winds of change are finally whispering through the Faelan Werewolf Reservation…
Lizzie Grace is doing her utmost to ignore the portents of doom, wanting nothing more than enjoy her life and her time with Aiden O’Connor while she still can. But the song of the once unprotected and very powerful wellspring still washes across the distant shores of darkness, and it continues to draw evil to the reservation.
The one that arrives this time is different from the others. Not only is it skilled in magic, but its kills are very specific. Very targeted. As the brutal deaths mount up and she, Monty, and Aiden struggle to find answers and stop the killings, Lizzie begins to suspect there’s more to this particular evil than meets the eye.
Especially when it helps save the life of a child.
But the biggest threat to Lizzie comes not in the form of evil, but rather the changes whispered on the wind.
Because the werewolf Aiden once asked to be his wife has finally arrived back in the reservation.
And she’s determined to get her man.

Commander Oren Ka’Ress is having a bad day. An unexpected solar storm sends the Taurean intelligence officer’s ship off course to crash land on Earth. Not only is he injured and captured by Earth's Space Force, but so is his dangerous prisoner—one of the evil insectoid Xakul soldiers. Oren quickly realises he needs backup, but with no way to contact his fellow Taureans, he's stuck.
Dr. Amelia O’Malley is done with Space Force and their empty promises. She wanted to make a difference, not end up stuck on a dying planet. Disillusioned, she has only a few weeks left in the military when a mysterious patient arrives on her ward. Bigger than any man she's ever seen, and with inhumanly bright eyes, Amelia finds herself full of questions. But there’s one problem—Amelia can’t understand anything he says.
As the Xakul threat looms, can Oren find a way for Amelia to understand him? Will he get backup before the humans inadvertently unleash the Xakul? As the clock counts down there is more at stake than either of them could dream.
Freeing Her Alien Warrior is a prequel to the Taurean Warriors series. Amelia and Oren’s story continues throughout the series.
Sorcery and Stardust by Samantha Marshall (Book 1, Weaver's Way) is currently free.
A sorceress. A warrior. A space deer.
The sorceress Arcana and her soulmerged deerken companion have spent fifty years traversing the galaxy, following the song that haunts Caelum's dreams in an attempt to solve the mystery of their creation. When they stumble upon an injured knight in a frozen ruin, Caelum insists on rescuing him - for why else would a knight be in such a mysterious place, if he wasn't somehow connected to the singing inside Caelum's mind?
When he wakes, the knight reveals himself as Fenris, stalwart Guardian of the Weaver and her Timeless Kingdom. Recognising Caelum as a deerken, the tall, brooding Guardian offers to unravel the mystery of Arcana and Caelum's past in return for their assistance in returning home, so that he might liberate his queen from the clutches of a madman.
Whilst Caelum throws himself wholeheartedly behind Fenris' seemingly noble cause, Arcana can't shake the feeling that their handsome guest is keeping secrets. Despite her efforts otherwise, her attraction to Fenris continues to grow... along with the suspicion that if she and the Guardian can't find common ground, his secrets might be the end of them all.
