Magical ambitions of a Ferrari, but the skill of a Go-cart.That would be me. If profanities were magic, I would be Merlin, yet here I am wasting my "French" on the ungrateful. Story of my life! When a spell goes wrong, there is no turning back, nor can you trade designer clothing to make things right. You gotta be kidding me. That's ludicrous! I'd trade my firstborn for a pair of Louboutin's, but not everyone has class. Everyone wants to jump to my rescue, but I'm having none of that. How about while I'm drowning in a proverbial creek, throw me an "f-ing" paddle or get out of my way. I've got this. Actually... I don't. But I'll find a way out of this mess. My grandmother again conveniently forgot to share many secrets. With every new lie I discover a truth and in every truth I uncover more lies. That's fine. With demons ready to devour me whole, Danika can wait in line. She will learn her lesson as soon as I claw my way out of this Hell. Literally. Payback is a witch! Grab your copy now.

Just when I thought things were looking up, Fate had to kick me in the kidneys. The worst thing that could happen after getting close and personal with Death was being stuck with a womanizer as a babysitter. If River would've kept his pants up, none of us would be in this mess now. They told me power corrupted irrevocably, but I knew unlimited magic twisted a mind absolutely. Just look at my grandmother. Not even the shifters could fix this shit. Now, I must find an Archdemon on the loose and prevent a master vampire from gnawing on my neck. Let's not forget dodging a murderous scorned lover-and I wasn't even the one getting laid. Everyone trying to protect me thought I was about to go down. Hard. The nerve on some people. I had one thing to say to all of them. Especially to the woman that raised me. Witch, please. Grab your copy!

Being hunted was the perfect excuse for a shopping spree. Just because I was going to die didn't mean I couldn't go down in style. My grandmother said it was idiotic. I didn't agree ... until I came face to face with a demon and the bastard ate my Prada shirt. Like, who does that? You'd think he'd be into souls, not silk, right? But it could have something to do with my spastic magic. My rogue powers were what got me into this mess. And now I was shackled with River Blackman. In just a few hours, the arrogant male made me regret everything--including the day I was born. Unfortunately, my little fiasco with the fashion-munching demon came with a price, so I had to play nice with the high priest. The problem? River had secrets of his own. And if the skeletons in his closet were ever unleashed, we'd both wish we were dead. As if I needed more help in the kick-bucket department. I was just about ready to pitch a witch...

She's facing a magical trial she cannot pass. But when her attempt to prove herself explosively backfires, will she survive the fiery consequences? Hazel Byrne can't catch a break.

US Army Garrison Patch Barracks, near Stuttgart, Germany, 2 a.m., January 11Sentries at the Main Gate of Patch Barracks had turned away the last of the local Fasching revelers an hour or so before, laughingly joking with them that the Barracks were too quiet for their parties. A few soldiers, somewhat worse for wear after joining the locals for the opening night of Germany's "Fifth Season", straggled in around midnight. They were cheerfully waved through the gate by the envious guards, who had pulled duty that night and didn't get to celebrate. Since then, the night had been still, only the night sounds typical of the region breaking the silence. The cell and radio tower behind the thick trees was lit by an eerie glow from the remains of the Fasching bonfire a few miles away. It would be six long hours until sunrise and their relief. The peace of the night lulled them to silence. Behind them, an eerie blue-white blinding flash bloomed. No sooner had it lit the night sky than the first sentry opened his mouth to ask, "What was that?"But the words never left his lips-before he'd even formed them, his lips, along with the rest of him, vanished. Had his mate not been meeting the same fate at the same time, he would have been shocked to see his comrade in arms evaporate into nihility. Every living being, structure, and object within an 800-yard radius of the epicenter disappeared as if he, she, or it had never been there. No one in the circumference of the blast zone survived to describe the beauty of the majestic, but fatal, blue-white flash. A few souls, lucky enough to be farther away, saw glimpses of it through the surrounding trees. No one knew what it was. The next person to arrive at the Main Gate of Patch Barracks found, much to his drunken confusion, nothing. No gate, no trees, no cell tower. No barracks. No buildings. No guards. Only emptiness. Not finding the Main Gate where he was sure it must be, the soldier sat down on the ground. Alcohol and rationality have never been good stablemates. His inebriated brain could not handle the duel, and mercifully, he passed out. He never heard the screams of pain and horror from the injured survivors far enough from the epicentre and fortunate enough to escape obliteration. Later, first responders approached with caution, finding the drunk soldier passed out where the gate should have been and the void beyond, which had always been occupied by buildings. They moved into the base to search for survivors. They found few, most of them critically injured and out of their minds with shock and confusion. Everyone capable of speaking asked the rescuers the question the rescuers had wanted to ask the survivors: What happened?THE NABATEAN SECRET, is a full-length novel, a nail-biting suspense-thriller about an ancient conspiracy set on total world domination, in every sense of the word - political, financial, energy, information technology... The Nabatean Secret is the fourth book in the Carter Devereux series, the sequel to the best-seller Alboran Codex.

In the year 106 AD, when the Roman legions marched on their capital at Petra, the Nabateans surrendered their empire to the Romans, without a fight, and according to historians ceased to exist. But very few knew that the Nabateans didn't cease to exist, they just stayed out of sight for more than 1,900 years, and now they are on the verge of implementing their final plan. Carter Devereux, with his knowledge of the City of the Giants and their library in the Egyptian desert is the only obstacle in the way to achieve their goals. Therefore, the order of the Council of the Covenant of Nabatea is clear; "We MUST have that information. All of it. Move in on Carter Devereux... and get it at all costs, up to and including the killing of everyone...."~~~THE ALBORAN CODEX, is the third book in the Carter Devereux series, the sequel to the best-seller Wolves of Freydis. A nail-biting suspense-thriller about an ancient conspiracy set on total world domination, in every sense of the word - political, financial, energy, and information technology...

Carter Devereux's idyllic world had been shattered and catapulted into chaos, and with it, the fate of humanity itself. With a traitor in their midst who seems to stay one step ahead of them, it is a race against time for Carter Devereux and a team of Special Forces operators who must fight evils never before encountered. Can they uncover the traitor, free the captives from an unknown location, and stop the evil from sweeping in and changing the world as we know it?~~~THE WOLVES OF FREYDIS is a full-length novel, a fast paced suspense-thriller about human history and an international political conspiracy with tentacles reaching across the globe into the highest halls of power. It is the second book in J C Ryan's Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series, the sequel to Nothing New Under The Sun.

The more Carter Devereux, a professor of archeology, researches and studies the history of the human species, the more he becomes convinced that Solomon was onto something when he said: "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after." Ecclesiastes 1:9 -11 (Circa 940 BC). Carter's research and exploration into this history takes him to South America, India, and the Middle East, where he makes mind-boggling discoveries which challenge our entire view of human history. And before long, Carter finds himself with not only a large number of critics from across the world, but also a number of ardent followers. Through the ages kings, rulers, power seekers and governments, have been trying secretly, and sometimes not so secretly, to get their hands on artifacts believed to have immense power. Examples include the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, Bachal Isu - the staff of Moses, carried by David, and the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, the Spear of Destiny, the time machine "the glock" created by the Germans during WWII, and ancient lost cities with hidden fortunes of gold and artifacts with unimaginable powers. There is a no shortage of unscrupulous, power hungry people who will do anything, including kill, to possess these relics- if they exist. Most frightening of them all are the ancient texts that speak of earth's destruction by nuclear weapons thousands of years ago. Do those nuclear weapons still exist? If so where are they? Can Carter Devereux discover them before anyone else can? ~~~ Nothing New Under The Sun is the first book in J C Ryan's Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series: a full-length novel and a thought-provoking mystery about the discovery of antediluvian human civilizations and the terrifying consequences of digging up the past.
