In Media, magic is a death sentence. Can love help their escape?
In the city of Media, magic is outlawed and enforced with deadly precision. The walls are high, the rules are absolute, and freedom is just a distant dream whispered in back alleys. But not everyone is willing to obey.
Single mother Dr. Malin Neldoreth never imagined her daughter, Ellie, possessed the kind of magic that could get her killed. When Will Hawkson, a rogue smuggler haunted by loss, witnesses Ellie’s powers, he knows the danger—his own sister died for less. Determined to protect her, Will devises a plan to gain Malin’s trust and get them both to safety.
Malin must sacrifice everything to save her daughter. Will must face his past to forge a future. As their bond deepens, they race against time, hunted by enforcers who will stop at nothing to destroy what they fear. Together, they must defy the city, survive the odds, and find hope in one another.
With vivid world-building, emotionally rich characters, and a slow-burn romance woven through edge-of-your-seat action, Escape from Media blends the dystopian danger of An Ember in the Ashes with the raw vulnerability of found family and forbidden powers.

Wicked witches. Murder. Mystery.
Being a teacher at an academy for teenage witches is no easy job—especially when students are trying to kill you.
Vega Bloodmire, wicked witch extraordinaire and teacher of defensive magic at Lady of the Lake School for Girls, has secrets she would prefer remain buried. Preferably six feet under. When a student dies in the middle of a lesson, the administration rules it as an accident. Vega has reason to question this. The death resembles an incident from her days as a student at the same magical boarding school—a death she got mixed up in—which is how she knows it is no accident.
When the principal starts digging into the past and fingers start pointing at Vega as the culprit, she knows she’s going to have to solve a murder from eight years before so she can figure out who committed the one in the present.
Can Vega discover who committed both crimes before she is framed for murder?
Enjoy this stand-alone book in this spin-off series of Womby’s School for Wayward Witches.
This book starts with Vega Bloodmire’s life before working at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches when she was a new and inexperienced teacher at Lady of the Lake School for Girls.
Clean, cozy, no sex or swearing, PG 13—perfectly fine for teens or grandmas who like mysteries with magic.

Headless horrors & high jinks! Get a ‘slice’ of comedy with The Headless FloridaMan
Dare to dive into the sidesplitting terror of “The Headless FloridaMan”? In a bizarre tale where the legend of Sleepy Hollow crashes into a Floridian trailer park, this horror-comedy novella delivers a gut-busting twist on a classic story. When five tweakers commit what they think is the perfect crime, they soon find themselves hunted by a headless foe with a penchant for dark humor and vengeance.
Prepare for an uproarious escapade as each page bursts with slapstick wit, foolhardy characters, and the kind of scatological humor that would make even a teenage boy cringe with delight. With a sprinkling of toilet jokes, foul language, and crass humor, “The Headless FloridaMan” is unapologetically bold and shamelessly entertaining.
But beware, this isn’t just a headless man on the warpath; it’s a resurrected menace armed with a plumber’s courage and a dash of supernatural mystery. So, if you’re in for a laugh, a scare, and an all-around wild ride that redefines “Dude-Lit,” then it’s time to meet “The Headless FloridaMan.” Grab your copy today and join in on the chaos that only Florida—and an axe-wielding specter—can conjure up!
