Sometimes the most challenging situations bring the most happiness . . . I’m Cora Fletcher, a twenty-something book-loving public relations executive, living with my overly Zen best friend and my attention-loving cat. I’m newly single and focusing on my exciting career, so I feel like I’m in a good place. I’ve even been invited on an all-expenses-paid Hawaiian vacation! The only catch? It’s a family reunion . . . and my family can be a lot to handle. But I’m determined not to let that get in the way. However, the ohana drama starts even before we board the plane. As usual, there’s my sister-in-law, who’s bent on causing friction, the self-centered cousins, and my aunt who loves to party a bit too much. My mom has filled the itinerary with endless activities, and she’s even invited my ex-boyfriend in a misguided attempt to get us back together. I feel overwhelmed, but then I get a blast from my past that could change my life forever. This is one reunion I did not see coming . . . Will I make it through a week of family togetherness? And will I be able to say aloha to someone I thought was out of my life forever? Love and Ohana Drama is a romantic comedy that explores the challenges of family dynamics and reminds readers that there is always hope for a second chance.

When life goes sideways, embracing the adventure is the fastest way to set things right. One day I was just a widow facing the prospect of an empty nest, living a life that was anything but enchanted. The next, I had discovered my magical roots, and my rightful place as the Guardian of the portal between the Faery and Earth. There was shock. And there was fear. After all, no one plans to start over at forty-five. I intended to grow old with my husband. I thought we’d live an ordinary life. So I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste this opportunity to live in a world I always thought was imaginary. I’m half-witch, half-faery, and facing dangers as real as the ache in my bad knee. Ibuprofen and caffeine keep me going, and I could do this for the rest of my life. Whoever thinks my family home is an easy mark better take notice: the new Guardian in town isn’t going down without a fight. After all, she’s already learned to let go of her simple existence and believe in the extraordinary power inside of her. What could possibly stop her now?

Southern Australia, 1983. While Middle-aged stalwart Miriam rolls into town in her broken down car, Frankie – a deer hunter – is up in the forested hinterland with her gun. Meanwhile, fisherwoman Old Pearl sits on her front deck with her dog, a glass of whiskey in her hand, and Emily, the English backpacker, scrubs out the pie-encrusted kitchen at the roadhouse. But all is not well. Gran Parks is stirring. Four troubled women. One restless spirit. Who will survive? Blackthorn has created a wonderfully chilling revenge tale that is utterly addictive. Written in brilliant prose, The Legacy of Old Gran Parks carries the dark comedic flavour of a Tarantino movie into the sinister backwaters of the Australian bush.

Any youth may apply to Eshtem University and gain the chance to join an elite Order of dragon-riding, magic-wielding peacekeepers. Jadon, a privileged and reckless prince, looks forward only to the brief escape from his father’s political machinations that his studies offer. Christina, a princess from a rival House, believes the Order is the greatest force for good the world knows and can imagine no higher honor. Jenne hates nobles and relishes the opportunity to compete as their equal. Diar, who is smitten with Jenne, roommates with Jadon, and sworn to Christina’s House, finds himself increasingly torn between the other three as they train, study, and jockey for position among their peers. But as evidence of the Order’s corruption begins to emerge, the students will have to re-examine their assumptions about themselves, each other, and the role they hope to play in the Order’s future – if they aren’t expelled first.
