Life as a monster is a sh*t pile with a cherry on top…
It’s hard to be a monster in a world full of goddesses and humans. Especially when, on a rare occasion, you happen to accidentally kill a person here or there. And people, for some reason, seem to think you’re the bad guy. Crazy, right?
But if there’s one thing a monster knows, it’s that life can always get worse.
Like when your enemies, the gargoyles, finally manage to get their hands on you. And as hot as that sounds, they’re not exactly putting their hands where you want them, if you know what I mean.
Because while the rest of the world sees gargoyles as the sexy white knights charged with protecting humanity, they’re kind of protecting them from us… by taking our heads.
So that’s what we’re dealing with now. Being hated by the world, kidnapped by hot gargoyles, and preparing for whatever the next disaster might be.
It’s strange though. Sometimes the Fates have plans and maybe this time we monsters might get our happily-ever-afters too.
MONSTERS AND GARGOYLES is a box set of the first three full-length books in the Monsters and Gargoyles series: Medusa’s Destiny, Keto’s Tale, and Celaeno’s Fate. These are steamy reverse harem stories set in modern-day, with sassy heroines, and hot-as-sin gargoyles. So, be ready for three standalones about Medusa, a mermaid, and a harpy, in a shared universe that will leave you begging for more.

Power is never granted… it can only be seized.
BLOOD AND EMPIRE begins best-selling author James Maxwell’s long-awaited new epic fantasy series, THE GATEWAY SAGA—a gripping tale of ambition, sacrifice, and defiance in the face of destiny.
Young seamstress Bethany dreams of becoming a diviner, one of the select few able to navigate the mysterious gateways that unite the empire. But without wealth or education, and only her mother to raise her, she is on a path to disappointment.
Then Bethany meets Charlton, a cleric, who offers her books and guidance, and she glimpses a life she had thought unreachable. Her problems grow, however, when her ambitions draw attention and her father re-enters her life, confronting her with a past she still needs to come to terms with.
As invasion threatens the empire, and intrigue and betrayal create fault lines amongst the highest circles, Bethany must learn to master both powerful forces and herself, in order to confront the darkness within her own bloodline—and save the empire from itself.
What readers are saying…
“This is ambition, magic, and political knife-twisting that’d make Game of Thrones look like a polite debate club.”
“My one complaint? It ends.”

The 25th century. Humanity has discovered a new form of energy, the Source, derived from the very basis of life itself. Using this power to travel instantaneously through space, humans have spread through their corner of the galaxy and coalesced into two groups: the Coalition and the Inner Cluster. They are held in an uneasy economic and cultural relationship by their reliance on each other, the Coalition with the technology of the Source and the Inner Cluster with the materials to make it a usable form of energy. When rumors of conquest, political undergrounds, and alien contact threaten this balance of powers, it falls to three individuals to find the truth of the conspiracies swirling through their governments and to stave off a disastrous war. What they find in the process will change the course of humanity forever.
