Kin Chronicles

Winner of 17 Awards at Last Count Shelby Pardow never imagined she could kill someone. All she wants to do is hide from her troubled father... when she is teleported to awaiting soldiers on the planet Azimuth. Here she is not a child, but Kin to one of the six Aulic Assembly members whom Malefic Cacoethes has drugged and imprisoned. He seeks to become dictator of this world (and then Earth by proxy). His father, Biskara, is an evil celestial entity, tracked by the Assembly with an armillary device, The Silver Sphere. With the Assembly now deposed, Biskara directs Malefic and the Nightlanders to their strategic targets. Unless....Can Shelby find the other Kin, and develop courage and combat skills? Can the Kin reassemble in time to release or replace the Assembly, overthrowing Malefic and restraining Biskara?

If you had the chance to turn back the clock and do things differently, what would you do? Make a better business deal? Go get the one that got away? Or would fate intervene, preventing you from be able to change things at all? When geeky runaway foster kid Alexander Petersen signs a contract with the sisters Luck and Destiny to change his fate and reverse his fortunes, he doesn't realize that it would doom his best friend and soulmate, Amanda Shields, to marry a philandering, abusive gaslighter. To set things right, Alex is given the opportunity to relive parts of his life as often as he likes, but there's a catch: For every minute he spends in the past, he loses a minute in the future. With the Angel of Death eager to take him, a vengeful narcissist on his tail, and limited time on the clock, will Alex be able to save Amanda from his twisted fate… or will he end up making things worse? Fate & Fortune is a high-stakes journey through time and the fascinating world between life and afterlife, full of twists and feints that don't stop until the very last page has been turned.
