***FRIGHT FEST 2016 GOLD WINNER*** "There are two kinds of people who sit around thinking about how to kill other people: psychopaths and mystery writers." -Richard Castle "Don't make promises you can't keep, Mr. Parker." "Yeah, but those are the best kind." -"The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) Heaven and Hell aren't above or below Earth. If you want to find them, you should be looking sideways. Teenage angel Alex Snow has a very weird life - his twin brother Gabe is a demon, he has few friends, he doesn't get out much, his tastes in pop culture are quirky at best...and one of his classmates has just been horribly murdered. Soon, more dead bodies start to pop up in town, and Alex and Gabe discover that the killer is someone to whom they are inextricably connected, despite having never met. (First in the Red Rain Series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "Technically sound, brilliant quality, full of intelligence with a dash of dark humour and a touch of science fiction." -Finn Arlett "It's escapist and I enjoyed every minute of reading it." -Gavin Hetherington "This captivated and intrigued me in many different ways...I personally haven't read anything similar to it." @kirrencee "You're a spinner, Ricky. A kick-butt weaver of tales with twists that only a non-novice could compose. Mad kudos..." -Michelle E. Hayes "I just sat on my bed for 2 hours straight in the night reading Red Rain until I finished it!!...It's so addictive." @Phoenix39736 "Amazing book! Can't wait to read the rest." @SarahJayneBrown

Dark warlock Jason Cross is quite the lonely boy - until the girl he likes takes the time to get to know him. Evan Michaelsen's presence leads to a string of major changes in Jason's life - not the least of which is the development of Ice powers he didn't even know he had. Then, after joining Evan's circle of friends - and learning that his feelings for her aren't unrequited - Jason gets drafted into a ring of counter-spies working to stop a secret team of warlock supremacists. The secrets Jason learns while working with the Magi will be enough to shake him to the core, as he learns of his surprisingly deep connection to the whole mystery. (First in the Dark Ice Chronicles.)

***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "May we meet again." -traditional Skaikru goodbye, The 100 "I haven't told you everything." -Sophia, The Event Red Rain was just the beginning. Alex Snow thought he'd gotten over the death of his first love, Fionna Lee. Gideon Cabrera thought he would never see his abusive mother again after leaving her behind on Earth. Both of them thought wrong. And meanwhile, agents of a totally different entity from the Red Rain team also have their sights set on Alex and his twin brother Gabe, believing them to be the key to saving the afterlife from a malevolent villain who seeks to destroy the Prime Universe. (Second in the Red Rain series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "I can't get enough! I can't even predict what is going to happen next. (WARNING: do not under any circumstances read the end of this while in a room full of people.)" @kirrencee "The thing that I love about these books that they're not a cliche. Oh and Alex's taste in music is really great!" @DarcyStayne "These should be legit novels...it's basically perfection wrapped up in an angelic (and demonic?) box." @Fever09

The Magi have just received a new mission - befriend the youngest son of the Scaler leader, Marten Drake. This should prove easy, because young Harry Morgan already has a previous connection to Evan Michaelsen. What may not be so easy, however, will be the ultimate goal - turn him against the Scalers' anti-Normal cause by sowing seeds of distrust against his older brother, the top Scaler soldier. For Jason Cross, distrust seems to be the word of the day now - every day. His father is a double agent with unclear allegiances. The HUNT leadership's motives are murky and questionable at best. And now that Evan's hidden past is coming out of the shadows, he cannot help but wonder if even the one he loves the most in the world (except his little brother, of course) cannot be trusted. One thing's for sure, though. When this mission gets underway, nothing will ever be the same for The Magi. (Second in the Dark Ice Chronicles.)

***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "Surprise! This is a different kind of superhero story!" -Deadpool Red Rain was just the beginning. Blue Monday made everything worse. Luca Scagliotti used to be on the sidelines as far as the increasingly weird - and lethal - goings-on in the life of his best friend were concerned. Alex Snow no longer wanted to be involved, especially after losing the two people he loved the most in the space of only a few months. Destiny had other plans. The war against Preston Holly and his armies of light scrivs will be fought on two fronts - one for each of the two universes, Prime and Second. As they get dragged into this fight to save the mortal souls of both 'verses, Luca and Alex will reunite with loved ones, race to prevent acts of terror, and confront the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife which have spent so long boggling their minds. (Third in the Red Rain series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "I think my mind may have just been blown." @WhenWeBleed

***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "For every person you save, there is going to have to be somebody you can't." -Joe West, "The Flash" Red Rain was just the beginning. Blue Monday made everything worse. White Shadows started setting things right. Alex Snow goes into his senior year wondering if he'll ever truly move on from the deaths of those he's loved. Fionna Lee isn't going to school, but is searching for a legendary artifact that, if it exists, could give her the power to go back in time and prevent her human counterpart's suicide. They'll reunite sooner than they think. When they do, it'll be because something has gone catastrophically wrong. And even if they find a way to undo their mistakes, the fight - especially the fight against their consciences - could cost them dearly. (Fourth novel in the Red Rain series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.)

As Elena amasses an army of political and religious leaders to further her anti-warlock agenda, the world slowly turns into a ticking time bomb. After four months of being left alone, and being allowed to try and restore their lives to normal, our heroes will have to step up and help the helpless once again. This time, though, they may not stand a chance of success. (Third in the Dark Ice Chronicles.)
