This morning, I’m worried I might lose my business and my flat. This afternoon? I’m worried I might be losing my mind...

I’ve been struggling to keep my little bookshop afloat for years, and closure seems inevitable—until a mysterious letter arrives on my doorstep. Apparently, I’ve inherited a crumbling hotel from a grandmother I never even knew, complete with long-term residents who redefine “quirky.” Especially Silas—the brooding, infuriatingly hot recluse who always wears black and never opens the curtains.

In a moment of frustration, I slip on my grandmother’s old mood ring. Pro tip? Maybe don’t try on emotionally reactive magical jewellery while having a meltdown—unless you want your kitchen to catch fire.

That’s when things get properly weird.

Turns out, the hotel is a magical portal. Not just to one world… but many. And someone—or something—is willing to do anything to take it.

Now I’m fighting for my new home, my found family, and a future I never asked for… armed with zero training and a flair for chaos.

A Hidden Witch’s Spell For Making a Tiny Giant Mighty is book one in a series that’s custom-made for lovers of strong heroines, quirky magical characters and found family all woven together with heart, humour and action-packed adventure. And that’s to say nothing of the slow-burn romance that will span the series…

A quiet village. A brutal murder. And a man haunted by his past.

Seven months are missing from Rowan Whitecross’s life. A psychological trauma cost him his memory, his job, and his future in the police. Forced into early retirement, he retreats from London to the sleepy village of Wadhurst after inheriting his late aunt’s manor, hoping for peace and a chance to rebuild.

But when a local businessman is found murdered, Whitecross is drawn into the investigation. The victim’s past is as tangled as his own, and the deeper he digs, the more disturbing the links become—between the murder, his missing months, and the people connected to both.

As old allies grow distant and new threats close in, Whitecross must uncover the truth—about the case, about himself, and about what really happened during the time he lost.

Because someone in Wadhurst remembers.

And they’re counting on him never finding out.

A body in the snow. A child’s footprints vanishing into the woods. A killer still out there.

FBI Agent Dom Walker has seen her share of violent scenes, but this one’s different. A teenage girl lies half-buried in Central Park, snow thick as silence. Nearby, a second set of footprints, small, fast, and heading deeper into the storm. A child is missing. A predator is loose. The NYPD doesn’t want the Bureau involved, but Dom isn’t here to score points. She’s here to bring someone home.

With sharp-tongued analyst Lea Peck, brilliant researcher Mila Pascale, and forensic accountant Owen Whyte at her side, Dom follows the trail from New York’s frozen skyline to the political shadows of Juneau, Alaska.

What begins with a murdered girl, unravels into something far stranger: an abduction, a cover-up, and a powerful financial machine built to erase problems before they make noise.

But Dom doesn’t answer to power. She serves the voiceless and the missing. And this time, her grit may be the only thing that brings a child home.

When the storm clears, only one truth will remain.

A chilling, propulsive FBI thriller for fans of Karin Slaughter, Sharon Bolton, and readers who know some wrongs don’t go quietly.

Incarcerated for a crime he gladly committed, paranormal detective, Tempest Michaels, has been enjoying the peace and quiet. But all that is about to change …

… there’s a monster roaming the prison’s passageways at night and it’s just taken a life.

The legend of the jailhouse golem is more than two hundred years old and though it has been investigated in the past, no one has ever come close to solving the mystery. He won’t get paid for this one, but there’s something more valuable at stake … his life.

Surrounded by inmates who want to kill him, facing a creature that cannot be killed because it isn’t alive, and worried the very guards employed to protect him might be the ones behind it all, Tempest Michaels faces his toughest challenge yet. Worse yet, he’s all alone.

The paranormal? It’s all nonsense, but proving it might get him killed.

Good thing chaos is kind of my specialty.

The more I uncover, the clearer it gets—no one’s ready for the truth I carry in my veins. So I’ll do what I do best: fight.

To bleed.

Body-jacking a legendary assassin when I’m running on fumes? What could possibly go wrong?

After my recent misadventures, I’m not so much broken as ruined—a hollowed-out shell with too much rage and not enough time. But the trail of those who betrayed me is growing cold, and if I want answers, I need to move. Now.

Problem is, the path leads to Faerie. And no one gets through unless they’re Fae.

Which leaves me with one bad option: go toe-to-toe with the mercenary assassin whose name is spoken in terrified whispers across centuries. The Jack of Plate. Half-Marred Jack himself. The one who wiped the floor with me last time.

He may be more than a monster. But I’m less than whole.

Survival? Let’s just say it’s... not looking great.

The city of Rochester is in the grip of fear, a terrifying wizard killing at random just for the fun of it.

But is he? Or do the victims have something very specific in common? They each received a business card before they met their ends and Tempest Michaels soon discovers the dead are not the only ones to have been contacted. He has clients lining up, all of them convinced they could be next.

Are they connected? Is there a reason why the wizard chose these people?

From the author of A LONE WOLF, the #1 Best Selling Amazon Audiobook, featuring Ex-Marine Sniper and retired CIA operator Michael Wolfe, comes a new international thriller.

He is a ghost. A man who travels the globe selling his bomb-making skills to the highest bidder and one of the last holdouts from the Irish Troubles of the 1990's. Danny McCaffrey offers his talents to Iran who has developed a new bio-weapon. Their long-term goal: To disrupt the governments of Western Europe, Israel and the United States.

When the NSA intercepts an international call hinting at a meeting for this new endeavor, ex-Marine Sniper and clandestine CIA operative Michael Wolfe is sent to intercept him. When he fails to stop the ex-IRA terrorist in Mexico, he and his equally deadly ex-Mossad wife, Nadia are tasked with finding McCaffrey.

The result is a lethal international cat-and-mouse game ranging from the mountains of northern Iran to the streets of Washington, DC. Wolfe and Nadia must stop McCaffrey before he can orchestrate an attack aimed at the President of The United States.

Filled with well-crafted characters and the trademark twists and turns of a J.C. Fields novel, The Last Insurgent will keep you glued to the pages way past your bedtime.

Another stormy night, another body found in another dark NYC alley!

Gregory wonders if she is insane or if she is the killer.

When Agent Gregory’s wife is kidnapped, he must embrace the supernatural or risk losing her forever.

Part thriller, part supernatural horror, Wrath Child keeps you guessing and turning pages long into the night.

Perfect for fans of Dean Koontz, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, Jeremy Bates, Anthony M. Strong, Lee Mountford, Michaelbrent Collings, and Abe Moss.

Reviews of Wrath Child

"Vick is a seasoned writer who doesn’t hold back. His opening line ('The alley stank of garbage and human waste and blood and imminent death') demonstrates his ability to evoke the senses and paint a visceral scene -- and alerts readers that the story to come contains a fair amount of gore and disturbing images. The well-crafted plot, memorable characters, and decidedly wicked villain will linger long after the last page is turned. Those looking for an engrossing supernatural thriller containing high stakes will find much to enjoy. Great for fans of John Connolly's A Book of Bones and Vaughn C. Hardacker's Wendigo."--Publishers Weekly

Praise for the Primal series:

★★★★★ Superb…I was blown away.

★★★★★ First of a fascinating series. . .

★★★★★ Next book please!

★★★★★ Wow…

★★★★★ This is a book that's not for the faint hearted.

★★★★★ Hooked with the first book…

You ever wake up and realize your whole life was a lie? No? Just me?

One minute, I was living my perfectly normal, hunter-style life. The next, I found out I’m not human—I’m half angel, half demon. And apparently, that makes me everyone’s favorite supernatural pawn. The archangels want me dead, the demons want me to pick a side, and then there’s Eric, the Prince of Hell, who insists I belong to him.

Oh, and did I mention I got kidnapped? Because I totally got kidnapped. By Michael—yes, that Michael—who thinks I’m the key to bringing down Lucifer. But he forgot one little thing…

I don’t play nice.

Now, I’m heading straight to Hell—literally—with a stolen blade, some unpredictable powers, and a serious grudge. Because if Michael thinks he can use me, drain me, or break me, he’s got another thing coming.

Hell hath no fury like a woman who just found out she’s the ultimate celestial loophole.

Speak of the Devil is a fast-paced, snark-filled urban fantasy packed with kickass action, a sharp-tongued heroine, and a dangerously irresistible Prince of Hell. Perfect for fans of gritty supernatural battles and enemies-to-lovers heat. From bestselling author Maya Daniels.

A tragic accident, a missing fiancé… and a buried truth that refuses to stay hidden.



When a high-school band trip ends in tragedy, Sue Jaworski steps in to comfort her friend and fellow garden-club member, Ruth, whose nephew was among the victims. But while visiting Ruth’s home, something unusual catches Sue’s attention: a set of oil paintings identical to ones she recently bought at Trinkets and Treasures. The artist? Ruth’s fiancé, who vanished without a trace forty years ago.



Intrigued, Sue shares the discovery with her granddaughter Jessica, who insists on showing her the actual landscape that inspired the artwork. But the picturesque setting hides a dangerous secret—it rests atop an unstable, long-abandoned coal mine.



As Sue and her husband Alan, Aspen Notch’s police chief, dig into the past, they uncover a decades-old cover-up involving the town’s shady bylaws, a powerful mining company, and a silence bought at great cost. Then Jessica goes missing… and Sue realizes some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

Barely settled, Sue inherits an unruly puppy, receives a chilling death threat, and begins to suspect Aspen Notch isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Between a suspiciously controlling mayor, a grieving family, and elusive townsfolk, everyone’s a suspect—and someone’s willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.

Some houses keep their secrets long after the doors are locked.

Irma Willoughby has always been fiercely independent. But as winter closes in, the silence of her isolated farmhouse grows heavier. A stark reminder of her recent widowhood and years of estrangement from her children. The house she refuses to leave holds more than just memories. It holds secrets.

Then her daughter Hilary returns, unannounced and full of questions. She says she’s worried, but Irma can feel the tension. The way she asks about Irma’s late husband. About the brother who died so long ago. About things better left unspoken.

As the temperature drops, strange disturbances begin to stir. A cellar door left open. Family photographs moved. Her husband’s old pipe reappearing without explanation. The past isn’t just haunting Irma. It’s clawing its way to the surface.

With trust fraying and danger circling, Irma must face the one truth she’s never dared admit: the greatest threat may not come from outside, but from within her own family.

In a home filled with ghosts, the most dangerous thing of all might be the truth.

The dark gods of my people are back, and they’re hunting the shadow-winged — like me.

Being a bush pilot is the third most dangerous job in the world. I’m Piper Tikaani, and I take that in stride. As an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter—flying is second nature, whether in my supernatural form or tackling the skies in my Super Cub.

Strong winds, rugged terrain, and rough clients are all the excitement I need. But when a family friend is found dead on the roof of his wilderness cabin, I find myself caught in a world of hidden treasure and a new, dark reality.

Now the people I love hide things from me and ancient, terrifying beasts stalk the land.

To survive, I must discover the truth about the treasure, my clan, and myself—which means exposing my secret to the very creatures hunting me: ice age were-predators determined to see me dead.

They say evil has many faces. Unfortunately for me, one of them looks exactly like mine.

Surviving Hell was just the beginning. Now, I’m back on Earth, and things are not looking great—my city is burning, my so-called allies are turning on me, and my arch-nemesis is still breathing when he really, really shouldn’t be. Oh, and did I mention I’m apparently Satan’s daughter? Yeah. That one’s new.

With Eric still locked in a healing sleep, it’s up to me to stop an Archdemon with a god complex before he brings both Heaven and Hell to their knees. But between shape-shifting jinn, long-lost secrets, and an Order that’s been lying to me from day one, I don’t know whom to trust.

All I know is this: I’m done being a pawn. The war is coming, and whether Heaven or Hell likes it or not—

I’m playing by my own damn rules now.

The Devil in Disguise is a gripping, action-packed urban fantasy filled with supernatural warfare, jaw-dropping twists, and a heroine who refuses to be controlled. Perfect for fans of dark magic, dangerous alliances, and sizzling tension.
