Tales from the Edge

Iphigenia Holt is a good little witch who grew up under the thumb of a wicked mother and two powerful sisters. Pegged as a caretaker, Iphi hides a secret that would change the way everyone around her views her: she's an empath. And yet she doesn't let that stand in her way. A soaring circus performer with a fierce love for animals and the downtrodden, Iphi tumbles her way through life, hiding the hurt just being around others can inflict . . . until she meets an enigmatic vampire and his three hot shapeshifting cousins. Drawn to the brightness she shines into their lives, each man promises to transport Iphi from the monotony of her life into a world truly filled with magic. They offer her love, protection-and an unconventional arrangement that will make her the scandal of Distant Edge. But when a rogue vampire attacks Iphi, it's time for the men to step up and for Iphi to fight back the only way she knows how: with love, compassion, and her inner radiance. If love can't conquer evil, her four protectors are more than willing to bare tooth and claw at her side-whether she'll have them or not. Contains mature themes.

This is more than a bunch of crazy stories, it's a responsibility. How strong is denial? How much can a person justify? There is no limit to the number of lies one person will believe, even perpetuate to advance their program. When that agenda falls under the influence of something else, something dark and insidious, a thing that has been waiting patiently to feed on what is left of his withered spirit? While it waits, he is being prepared so this creature can absorb whatever remains of what he was. What remains fades and it will be like he never existed. You would think that Don had enough, that his brush with oblivion would have had at least some effect on his perspective. It would have been how most would have reacted. Most weren't so misplaced, without purpose; they were not always afraid and forever trying to escape. Life had become just about reacting to what had just happened, there never seemed to be any plan and there never had been. He couldn't see past his next opportunity to silence the voices in his head, all the white noise caused by the lack of any kind of connection, he was blinded by it. He would sometimes flash back to that little boy who would refuse to sit down in church, why he refused remained a mystery, just more white noise. No, there would be no lessons learned from his dance with demise. Lessons gone unlearned tend to linger, until they can be absorbed. He was doomed to keep repeating his awkward education, he was blinded by all the white noise in his head. There was no way he could control it, the creature inside him; his dark passenger, was there even any hope? How many chances would he get? Why so many?

This wicked witch is sweet as sin. Iphigenia Holt, witch, acrobat, and bleeding heart, continues tumbling down the circus silks and into a harem of lofty admirers in this sequel to Distant Light. Finally out from under her mother's shadow, Iphi has found joy in an unconventional place: in the arms of two men. There's Rhys, half vampire, half shifter, all deadly. And Caspian, the sensitive shifter who paints life in brilliant colors. Together the trio soars to sensual new heights, but Iphi has no time to revel in her newfound happiness before their love is put to the test. Iphi's mother isn't happy with her daughter's recent independence, and she's holding Caspian's brother Thorn hostage to get Iphi back under control. Worse, their brother Dominic watches Iphi from the shadows-and she'd be lying if she didn't admit she comes alive under his gaze. Meanwhile, a mysterious puppet master is abducting humans and vampires off Distant Edge's streets to build a ghoul army. Iphi may be the only one who can stop evil from invading the Edge, but if her men can't find a way to see past the mistrust tearing them apart, their deadly foe will steal what they love most right out from under them. Contains mature themes.

They could not listen they're not listening still, perhaps they never will…Don Maclean There is treasure inside all of us, but we must be willing to dig for it. When that cache is located, if we share what is found with a loving, open heart, we will witness it increase in value. This value perpetuates itself as the message is accepted by others. Watching my truth spill out onto the white like so much blood, I am in rapture, consumed by what is being accepted. Acceptance gives us the ability to feel our truth that is grace, when we use that endowment to help others it increases our capacity to accept even more of what is freely given. This is expansion; it's about how much of that God given gift we are able to allow. One caveat, there is this compulsion to travel to places within myself others fear to tread, it is going to make many feel uncomfortable. It's hard to shake this feeling that there is a requirement to share that place with everyone, it's a gut reaction, announcing that we all have a need to become closer in spirit.

Acrobat, witch, and beloved of four men, Iphigenia Holt finds an unconventional happily ever after in her third and final book. Iphi has always lived for others: her mother, the world's most powerful and temperamental witch; the town of Distant Edge, plagued with a rash of ghoul attacks only she can stop; and all the creatures, human and otherwise, who have strayed across her path since childhood. But when she's sucked into a desolate land far from home, a land filled with angry pixies, endless darkness, and an evil that has stalked her family for years, she'll have to put her needs first for once. And what she needs is her men. But first, she'll have to save them. With Thorn still stuck in his dragon form and now the plaything of pixies, she won't stop until he's free, even if it means burning an alien world to the ground. Stuck on Earth, Rhys, Caspian, and Dominic won't stop until they hold their woman in their arms again. Though she'll have some explaining to do when they discover they'll have to open their hearts to yet another male, even if he is their pack mate and brother. But Iphi's done hiding her light-and her love-from the world. Why should she have to choose when she deserves them all? Contains mature themes.
