British diplomat Lucas Avery is already nursing a drink in the smoking car, resenting his assignment to the distant Ottoman Empire. Neither man expects anything more from the next three days and three thousand miles than rich food, expensive champagne and fine cigars.But something dangerous is lurking aboard the train, hiding in plain sight among French aristocrats and German businessmen. Through fire and darkness, through blood and ice, the Orient Express is bearing an ancient evil across the continent – and not all its passengers will live to see Constantinople…2. WEREWOLF ON THE WESTERN FRONTFrance, 1916. Europe is riven by two years of mechanised slaughter in the Great War. Hundreds of miles of muddy trenches and chemically-polluted wasteland run from the North Sea to Switzerland. Here at the southern border, so-called Kilometre Zero is quiet. The enlisted men are too cold and tired to pursue valour, the officers too wary of upsetting their neutral Swiss neighbours. Both French and German forces are content to huddle by their fires and let their comrades fight it out further up the line.But something is upsetting the silent, snowy peace of Kilometre Zero. Livestock are found mutilated, a night patrol suffers a grisly encounter, and a captured German deserter carries a dire warning. As the full moon rises above the Jura Mountains, American legionnaire Sam Carter and British officer Lucas Avery once again find themselves drawn into battle with a supernatural evil…3. THE HEART OF THE MUMMYEgypt, 1919. Cairo smoulders in the aftermath of a failed revolt against British rule, and Lucas Avery arrives in the city intent on escorting his sister back to the safety of England. But Emily, a promising young archaeologist at the Museum of Antiquities, has no interest in being rescued. She and her fellow scholars are on the eve of a desert expedition in search of Nekharis, the ancient City of the Damned – a venture which also happens to be employing Avery’s old friend, the American gunslinger Sam Carter.Recruited against his better judgement, Avery joins Emily, Carter and the rest of the Museum’s retinue as they sail up the Nile and strike out into the Sahara. But rumours of ancient Egyptian curses are no mere superstitions. A rival French expedition has vanished; a colleague of Carter’s is found murdered in his Cairo hotel; and an uncanny presence shadows them across the desert sands. Avery and Carter have battled the supernatural before, but nothing will prepare them for what lurks in the tombs beneath the City of the Damned…

Vampire Slayer wasn’t an option on Career Day…Surf, sand, neon lights, and vampire jokes have been Jenna’s life ever since her former best friend, Georgie, spilled her darkest secret to the whole school. A secret that’s haunted her since she was little-she was attacked by something inhuman. When she stumbles across blood-drained bodies on the boardwalk and is attacked by a vampire-looking monster, old nightmares come back to haunt her. Now in the crosshairs of an undead serial killer, Jenna’s convinced the killer is also Georgie’s new boyfriend. Dodging a murderer is easier than talking to her enemy, but when Georgie starts changing in even more monstrous ways, Jenna has to suck it up and work with the person she hates most if she wants any hope of stopping a killer before they both end up dead.Inspired by The Lost Boys and 90s teen horror novels, Blood on the Boardwalk is a modern day horror comedy perfect for teens (and anyone) looking to dip their toe into the horror genre, and adults looking for the dopamine hit of nostalgic horror easter eggs!What readers are saying:”A teen girl with a tortured past, a run down beach town and bloody bodies all around. Creatures of the night lurk around every shadowy corner in Donna Taylor’s BLOOD ON THE BOARDWALK, a spooky YA horror that hits all the chilling notes horror readers crave.”- Wendy Dalrymple, author of BIRTHDAY PARTY DEMON and CREDENZA“Donna Taylor kicks off her new series, San Nico Slayers, with a bang! Blood on the Boardwalk is a fun, fast-paced romp, with wonderful characters and a storyline packed with action, heart, and humor. Fans of Buffy and Supernatural will want to sink their teeth into this one.”- V.S. Lawrence, author of 80s Ghosts and With Friends Like These“Jenna’s life as a teenaged outcast is no carnival, especially when a monster begins leaving dead bodies in her bike’s path. Buffy meets The Lost Boys in Blood on the Boardwalk, a gleefully gory homage to 90s horror adventure that will leave you craving cotton candy with a side of garlic.”- Angela Sylvaine, Bram Stoke-nominated author of Chopping Spree

Get the first three books in the Warden Series – regularly priced at $11.97 – for only $8.99!__________WARDEN (BOOK 1: WENDIGO FEVER)Part lawman, part tracker and part magician, the Wardens are monster-hunters – tasked with protecting the people from the various, nightmarish creatures that have invaded the world of men. However, despite being descended from a long line of Wardens, 16-year-old Errol Magnus believes it to be the absolute worst job on the planet: How could a single occupation simultaneously be the most boring, abominably stupid and extraordinarily dangerous profession imaginable?But when his older brother Tom – the current Warden for their region – goes missing, Errol has no choice but to enter the Badlands, where monsters abide in mind-boggling numbers, to find him. During his search, Errol crosses paths with – and finds himself stalked by – the legendary Wendigo, a monster with preternatural strength and speed, as well as enhanced senses of sight, smell and hearing…and an insatiable hunger for human flesh.Now Errol must do the impossible and not only escape from the monster (something no one has ever done before), but also avoid the unearthly legacy it leaves on all its victims – a terrifying curse known as Wendigo Fever.__________WARDEN (BOOK 2: LURE OF THE LAMIA)Despite his personal dislike for the job, Errol Magnus has faithfully carried out the daunting (and singularly dangerous) duties of Warden for their region in place of his missing brother Tom. Truth be told, despite his reluctance in accepting the role, there is no one better suited for it in terms of knowledge, training and skill.Arriving home after an extended sojourn in the Badlands, where monsters are as common as blades of grass, Errol longs for just a single day to pass that doesn’t require him to put his life in danger. His desire for a respite, however, is complicated by two things: the arrival of a mysterious troupe of performers – and the appearance of a bloodthirsty creature that kills its victims in a horribly gruesome fashion.Now Errol must determine what connection – if any – exists between the troupe and the killings, as well as find a way to stop the monster before the body count goes any higher.__________WARDEN (BOOK 3: ATTACK OF THE ASWANG)For most of his life, 16-year-old Errol Magnus categorically rejected the idea of being a Warden. Growing up right next to the Badlands, he encountered enough bloodthirsty monsters in the ordinary course of events; he’d never seen much sense in assuming a post that required you to actively seek them out.Recently, however, while competently and capably serving as Warden on behalf of his missing brother Tom, Errol’s had a change of heart. Now, for reasons of his own, he desperately wants the position. Unfortunately, being officially appointed Warden not only requires that Errol’s skills be tested by his peers, but that he also make a perilous journey to the city of Apolos in order to be examined by the High Warden himself.Traveling with a group of colleagues, Errol thinks all danger is behind them once they reach the safety of the city. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Something has followed them out of the Badlands, and – one by one – his traveling companions are being viciously slain by something…inhuman. It’s up to Errol to find the creature and bring its killing spree to a halt, before he himself winds up the next victim.
