“This fantastic debut novel sets the scene of a wonderful new world for readers to explore and gives you characters you can’t stop thinking about even when the book has come to a close.” – Amazon Reviewer
“This new author has done a nice job of blending mystery, action, and romance. She has created characters you can identify with, a landscape of setting that is vibrant, and a storyline that has you turning pages to see what happens next.” – Amazon Reviewer
“This series features a unique world of magical healers, a very unique magic system and world which is refreshing in a very crowded YA sub-genre.” – Amazon Reviewer
“Grab a copy, a cup of your favourite beverage, curl up in your favourite reading spot and become lost in this wonderfully written series. Highly recommend.” – Amazon Reviewer
“What a rollercoaster of a series and what an amazing last book in the series. I devoured it in an afternoon. It was mesmerising, all the things that happened to Natalie, her struggles to come to terms with her new self, were oh so real. The villain was truly demented, causing all sorts of problems for your main characters. Through it all the sense of comradeship shone though despite all the issues. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and am sad it has finished.” – Amazon Reviewer

TwitterAbout the author:
KATE KENNELLY started writing creatively when she was ten years old. She let a bad grade on a creative writing project in seventh grade get her down and stopped writing altogether. Many years later, now suffering from chronic pain, someone asked her “When are you not in pain?” The answer was “When I do creative things.” Kate challenged herself to sit down and write something – anything – for the therapeutic value. Thirteen chapters later, not only was she writing, but she was reading books on writing, watching YouTube videos, learning all she could to try and craft a good story.
In her free time, Kate loves to Irish dance, play fiddle, do yoga, meditate and play World of Warcraft with her book club friends. She lives in Maryland with her husband, two daughters, and two rescue dogs.
What inspired you to write your book?
So I had a scene in my mind of a woman working with herbs to make medicine. She looks up and a dashing young man appears. I knew he'd been away for some time and that he used to be her teacher.
I sat down to write this super romantic scene—and they started fighting.
Then I had to figure out why they were fighting, where he had been, and before I knew it, a book grew under my finger tips.
Here is a short sample from the book:
The next morning, Natalie drifted awake, eyes still closed, and relished how comfortable she was. Odd, considering she’d slept on the ground in a bedroll in a tent. She knew a room full of dying people awaited her, but for the moment, she mentally shoved that to the side. Just a bit of breeze shifted through the tent, bringing with it the salt scent of the sea. The early morning sunlight filtered by the canvas of the tent rested on her eyelids. Lying on her right side, snuggled under her bedroll with her head nestled against Jules’s shoulder, she was cozy and warm. Wait—
Her eyes flew open. Jules slept on his side, facing her. Natalie delicately maneuvered her body back little by little so they no longer touched. The early morning sun on his face made him seem younger, although the occasional scar and dark circles under his eyes were proof of his time in the army and the stress he’d been under. This close to his dark hair, she could see tiny copper highlights glint in the sun. He kept his hair cut short, but given its waviness, she thought it might be curly if he ever grew it out. Her fingers ached to thread through his hair and—
“Am I very fascinating?” His deep voice startled her.
Natalie found his emerald eyes looking at hers, crinkled at the edges, and a smile on his face.
Blood rushed to her cheeks. “I … well, I …”
He laughed. “Goddess, woman, you should see your face.”
She punched him in the arm and flopped onto her back on her bedroll, only to have Jules’s face appear above hers.
“What?” she demanded.
“Well, it seems only fair,” he whispered, “since you had time to study my face, I should have time to study yours.”

Crude: A Stepbrother Romance by Aubrey Irons
Knox Shepherd is a total d*ck. A really, really big one.
He’s a swaggering, cocky prick who blows through women the same way he roars around town on that motorcycle of his – fast.
Sure, I wasn’t supposed to be sneaking out to bars or singing at open mics, but that didn’t give him a right to talk to me like that. No one’s ever said those things to me before – filthy, raunchy, crude suggestions that made me literally run for the door. Suggestions I wish didn’t make me feel so funny inside.
But hey, no big deal, right? It’s not like I’d ever have to see that smug, foul-mouthed jerk ever again.
If only he weren’t standing with that cocky smirk on my front porch right now, right next to my father’s new fiancé. His mom.
Yeah, that unbearable prick is going to be my new stepbrother.
OK, he’s gorgeous, and every time he looks at me I can practically hear him whisper deliciously dirty things in my ear. And maybe something about his cocky swagger makes me think I should break some rules for once.
…Maybe something about him makes me not so sure I want to go to college still holding on to my V-card.
But I definitely don’t want to lose it to my stepbrother. Ew.
So why can’t I stop thinking about it?
