One busy royal.

One busy almost-royal.

A whole lack of spare time.

We're officially engaged according to every rule and tradition of Gallyr. Everything seems like it should be perfect. But we've still got a way to go.

All we want is to be able to go on our first proper, real date as a couple. But Mitya's got work piling up and Tati has a whole new slew of obligations now she's engaged to the Gallyrian heir.

We were told to follow our hearts, but the reality is somewhat lacking compared to the fantasy. Somehow, we have to make our new joint lifestyle work without sacrificing why we wanted to do this.

Will we ever get a moment alone?

Sometimes, you’ve got to let go of all you’ve held on to.

Special edition Accidentally Perfect original cover tie-in. Only available in print from my webstore.

I feel like I’ve been given a place in life – expectations of me – that it’s useless fighting. So I don’t bother. I’m the guy they all think I am; fighting, smoking, drinking. Because what else is Roman Lombardi but a troubled teen?

No one’s convinced I’ve got anything going for me. I take what – and who – I want when I want it, and never think about anything more than a couple of hours in the future.

One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident Miss Popular, and she surprises me. With Piper, I can be whatever me I am. I can be the surly, troubled teen and…it’s enough. I’m enough. Feeling shit together makes things just a little less shit. Until it becomes more.

But, I don’t do more. Do I?

What do you do when you find perfection by accident, in the least likely of places?
Maybe you can’t believe you’re finally worth it.

Reprint of the original cover in celebration of the publication of Roman's POV. Only available in print from my webstore.

I feel like I should have the perfect life, that I should never feel down or alone in the world. But, so sue me, I do. I keep it hidden, pretend everything’s okay. Because who would believe Piper Barlow could have issues?

Everyone’s convinced the hottest guy in school’s going to ask me out - that Mason and I would be the perfect couple, that he’s my John Cusack. Except, he hasn’t.

One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident underachiever, and he surprises me. With Roman, I don’t have to pretend that little Piper Barlow is perfect; even if we’re both in a foul mood, just sitting in silence together is perfectly enough. Until it becomes more.

But, Roman doesn’t do more. Does he...?

What do you do when you accidentally find perfection with the wrong guy?
You fight for it.

A special edition hard cover, full colour collection and chronicle of my writing journey. It’s by no means exhaustive, there are plenty more fragments floating about. But maybe I’ll save that for 50 Years of Writing?

You’ll find short stories, poetry, song lyrics, the beginnings of novels I’ve always intended to finish, and even some random school/uni assignments, plus bonus behind the scenes info on all my published books, as well as a sneak peak into some of my forthcoming releases.

The prequel/teaser story to new fae paranormal romance series the Danu Cycle.

It’s one thing to command a fiann...
Eamon mac Aeveen is the youngest child of the king of the fey. With twenty-nine older siblings, Eamon’s always allowed himself to indulge to excess even by fey standards. His father feels taking command of a fiann will be the cure to his youngest child’s restlessness.

...it’s another to belong to one.
But it takes more than Eamon’s easy charm and royal birth to win over his fighters. Only by letting them in can he hope to have them let him in. Little by little, he must earn his place as their leader.

In faery, nothing comes for free.
Complications arise when his father gives the fiann to a post in the Borderlands. His price? The fae are going to try a schooling method of soldier training, and Gryffynhall will be their practice run.

He's wrong in all the right ways.

Wade Phillips shattered Lisa McGinty’s heart in Year 10 for no known reason. By Year 12, he’d made it through most of the girls in our year and was on to the year below. My best friend put on a brave face in front of him, but she still felt the sting. I knew she still loved him.

No one knew what happened to Wade and no one got close to him anymore. Not until a life-altering incident throws me unavoidably into his path. Wade Phillips might be the guy to teach me the art of breaking up, but will my heart – and Lisa’s – break in the process?

No one falls in love because of a roommate mistake.

When I find a half-naked guy standing in my dormitory at my new boarding school, I assume he’s my roommate’s boyfriend.

He introduces himself as Alex and I introduce myself as Lottie.

When he tells me he’s Sasha and was expecting Elliott, I see what happened.

Someone knew I was a girl or he was a guy, and made some glaringly incorrect assumptions about the other one, meaning we were assigned as roommates. Now, we're stuck together for the forseeable future.

Get a little taste of what my YA books have to offer with a Pithy Pooka: a series of complete, standalone shorts.

Girl + guy + three days = greatest love story ever.
Yeah, right.

When love cynic Jess and un-reformed bad boy Ryan come together for a Year 12 English camp with the express purpose of testing the legend of Romeo and Juliet falling in love in three days, nothing could possibly go wrong. After all, it was impossible to fall in love with someone in three days. Wasn’t it?

Wilderness + teenagers + camping = true love?
Over our dead bodies.

Charley and Zane had been best friends since he’d found the broken board in the fence between their houses at the age of four. Sleep overs in the backyard had turned into sleepovers in his treehouse into sleepovers in one of their rooms when they both decided sleeping closer to a toilet was actually great.

Zane and Charley were just friends until his girlfriend dumps him and there’s the beginnings of a spark. But they’ve grown a little apart in recent years and neither of them think the other would possibly ever be interested in anything more. So Charley fakes a crush and it’s Zane to the rescue in helping her follow her heart.

After all, there’s safety in the friendzone.

If they're not careful,

they'll find themselves popped.

Paige is known around Mitcham High as the Silver Spoon; she’s pretty, she’s wealthy, she’s popular, she’s wanted by all. After one too many heartbreaks, her friends dare her to make a guy fall for her then dump his arse. Enter Bash Baker. He’s the most egotistical, stereotypical jerk in the whole school. Never one to shy away from a bet, Paige agrees to the wager. Either Bash’s fragile male ego is popped by the formal, or she has to give Mia’s nerdy cousin his first French kiss.

Bash is known around Mitcham High as the Cherry Popper; he’s popped more cherries in that school than Casanova in all of Venice*. But, there’s one cherry his mates bet he’ll never get; Paige Nicholls. She’s the popular ‘it’ girl with a million sycophants. If there was a cherry he wanted to pop, it’d be hers. Never one to shy away from a bet, Bash agrees to his mate’s wager. Either Paige is his by the formal, or he gives up his title to the nerdy band geek in the year below them.

It’s War of the Romance as Paige and Bash try desperately to seduce the other one without falling for the ruse themselves. Usual tactics don’t seem to be working, so the two of them might need to switch things up. Otherwise they might find themselves popped.

*possible exaggeration.

He's a semi-famous rockstar.

I'm Nerdy McNerdleton.

Born for the express purpose of being the understudy for my older sister, I’ve learnt that life goes faster if I just go along with the madness.

Until the madness involves me, the School Formal, my sister’s hair-brained scheme to win over the hottest boy in school, and a misunderstanding that I’m the one interested in him.

Suddenly, my quiet existence isn’t so quiet anymore and the bright neon light that heralds my eighteenth birthday and freedom is overshadowed by one that follows a boy who’s going to be the next big thing.

But, I am so not interested… Am I?

One divided heart.

Only one real choice.

A prince unprepared for the fallout.

It’s time for me to announce my engagement to the people of Gallyr, to bow to tradition and the expectation of an entire country as their future King Dmitri Bertold Brevich.

As they have been my whole life, all eyes are on me and they wait with baited breath to hear my decision. No matter who I choose, I’ll disappoint someone.

I was told to follow my heart, so I did and there are plenty of people ready to give me their opinion of my choice. Even more than I expected.

Not even Heaven can help me now.

as opposed to being bad

With a heroine who won’t let a stupid little thing like being too good get in the way of showing her stupid ex what’s what and a hero who wants no part of being the male lead in a romance novel, these two opposites find themselves in an unconventional partnership.

When peppy-go-lucky Avery eventually wears down bad-to-the-bone Davin’s defences, he agrees to help her trash her reputation. And, if Davin can help her pass math while he’s at it, all the better. So, it’s goodbye to Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes, and hello to a whole new Avery as Davin reluctantly teaches her date-by-date how to be not good (as opposed to bad, because it’s a very serious distinction).

Davin was only supposed to be Avery’s mistake - the boyfriend to see her through her rebellious phase. But, the more they’re together, the less either of them feel it’s a mistake.

Now, if only one of them could mention that to the other and ease all that angst-ridden tension…

A laugh-out-loud modern-day fairy-tale in dual POV for those who know life never quite goes according to plan.

One reluctant heart.

Three royal brothers.

A whole country waiting to see who she’ll pick.

It’s time for me to join my dad and older  sister in Gallyr, to dust off the cobwebs of a normal person’s life and don the mantle of Lady Tatiana Penrose.

The whole of Gallyr waits eagerly for the announcement my sister’s being courted by the Crown Prince. Until I come along and, for the first time in my life, all eyes are on me.

Lia’s desperate to be royalty, but none of the princes seem to want her. Me, though?

I’m no princess.

One reluctant heart.

Three weeks to decide.

A whole country waiting to see who he’ll pick.

The man I love is a man I can’t have. He needs someone who can stand confidently by his side. Someone who belongs. Not someone who can still barely walk in heels.

He’s going to announce his engagement in mere weeks and I’m far too young for that sort of thing. It’s far too soon.

But, could I be a princess if it meant seeing his smile everyday. Could I be confident? Could I belong? Could I be the right choice?

I’ll have to if I don’t want to watch the man I love marry someone else.

Valiant Valerie with crimson brown hair

Would not be a ladies maid. She would get much too bored.

Valerie doesn’t want to be a lady’s maid, she doesn’t want to be a Lady, and she doesn’t want to be a princess. She just wants to be the first successful woman in Mor’s army. And, a country coming back from war and sorrow should be pleased with any decent solider they can get.

But, the High Council won’t have it. According to them, Valerie must be a proper princess; no graduating to the Senior Corp with the rest of the trainees. And, with the future of the country uncertain, her father accedes. Valerie knows there’s only one thing that will change their minds.

The wizard is known to bestow a quest upon any knight in order that he may prove his worth. So, Valerie is going to find the wizard and get him to give her a quest. Then, she’ll finally show the High Council she can be a knight AND a princess.

But, even all of Valerie’s tutoring could not have prepared her for the real world and the dangers it holds. Thankfully, her best friend finds her and helps her on her way. And, for a minstrel, Jonathan sure has some handy hidden talents.

The road to the wizard is long and arduous, and there are many lessons to be learnt along the way. But, will he grant her wish? Or, will she have to go home and be just a princess after all?

One inadvisable kiss.

Three supposed suitors.

A whole bunch of totally untrue rumours.

My sister was always the pretty one. She was supposed to marry a prince. Until I came home, the media went into a ridiculous frenzy, and Lia’s no longer good enough for the job.

Marriage Watch is in full effect for the Crown Prince. And, rumours are swirling that I’m on the verge of marrying one of the princes. But, which one?

There’s only one I’d want. But, we fight more than we love and are totally incompatible. Plus, he’s meant to marry a future queen.

And, I’m barely a lady, let alone a princess.

One incompetent lady.
Three holiday parties.
A whole lot of mistakes ready to be made.

Christmas and New Year’s is a busy time for Gallyrian Royalty and I have to play my part. According to the media, that part is now Prince Playboy Nico’s girlfriend. Uh, no thanks.

Thank God Kostin steps in to save me. Until the media decide I was brought home to marry him instead. Or, was it Nico after all?

How am I mean to survive a romantic wintery holiday season while everyone’s talking about my impending engagement to two different guys?

Especially when I can’t even keep my footing on a flat surface.

One tattooed girl.
Three frustrated tutors.
A whole lot of accidents waiting to happen.

It’s time for me to join my dad and older sister in Gallyr, to dust off the cobwebs and leather jackets of a normal person’s life and don the mantle of Lady Tatiana Bethany Penrose.

For the first time, all eyes are on me and I have to be presented to society at a ball in my honour. So begin the lessons; dancing, dress, dinner etiquette.

Now, all I need to do is not spill my beer on or set fire to my date; the youngest son of my dad’s best friend, the Gallyrian King.

Not even Heaven can help me now.

​

Across the school, battlelines are drawn and sides are taken between the new ’it’ couple of my former best friends and the excitingly scandalous pairing of me and King Douche.

He calls it ‘keeping up appearances’, I call it ‘take one more pass at my arse and I’ll break your nose’.

They say all’s fair in love and war, but what’s so fair about falling for the wrong guy when your two best friends are on the other side of the battlelines?

Sometimes you say everything

when you say nothing at all.

Everyone’s convinced the hottest guy in school’s going to ask me out - that Mason and I would be the perfect couple, that he’s my John Cusack. Except, he hasn’t.

One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident underachiever, and he surprises me. With Roman, I don’t have to pretend that little Piper Barlow is perfect; even if we’re both in a foul mood, just sitting in silence together is perfectly enough. Until it becomes more.

But, Roman doesn’t do more. Does he...?

What do you do when you accidentally find perfection with the wrong guy?

You fight for it.

…it’s easier.
…it’s safer.
…it’s often not hate at all.

Leilani Granger can’t stand the person Casper Drake has become, and Casper doesn’t even recognise his best mate’s little sister anymore. Loving each other is second-nature, but they don’t know how not to hate each other either.

As they face losing Leilani’s only remaining brother and Casper’s best mate to his inner demons, old habits lead them back to each other for comfort.

Leilani wasn’t the kind to lose herself in meaningless sex.
Casper’s been doing it for years.

It’s the only time hate doesn’t get in the way.

But, the trouble with hate is…it’s often not hate at all.

Would you accept yourself

to find your humanity?

Ellie just wants to be a normal human girl, not having to worry she'll accidentally kill someone with her magic.

Lee is a werewolf who is still fighting the change, unsure of the wolf he'll be when he finally regulates.

​

Despite differences and their own uncertainties, can our three heroes come together to save Ellie's life?
