Peneloper Auttsley was the odd duck of Potter Oaks, until a seventeen year old moved in to the house on Mire Hill. His love of Phil Collins and cow-shaped creamers threw her small town into chaos. But when Peneloper starts to focus more on him than her pirate fantasy and beloved Captain Stormholden, will love bloom for her? And what of Peneloper's best friend, Chantham? Will he allow her love to bloom? Or does he hide a crush as well as a few secrets behind his oceanic blue eyes? This is an adventure of the most grand design; everything included. ©OctaviaLocke 2016 Cover made by @brookemcx.

*Wattys Shortlisted!* A witch. A hunter. And a curse. ~*~ Theiden Guster hadn't intended to abandon his family. But after trying to kill the witch named Lenesa Evergreen, he ends up miles from home as her captive instead. High up in the mountains, the rules of the city no longer apply, and he is forced to face off against the wild and the weird, all the while looking for a chance to strike the witch down in a moment of weakness and make his escape. But the witch needs his help. A dark and vengeful presence is growing in the forest, thirsting for the blood of those in the city, and the witch hunters are preparing to cleanse the mountains in a brutal final attack. Lenesa knows there's not much hope for her ever-worsening condition, but is willing to do whatever it takes to bring peace back to the land and stop the bloodshed. If she's lucky, she'll be able to see the dawn of a new era before succumbing to her affliction. Yet with hardly a plan and very little time, the odds do not appear in her favor, and it seems each step she takes brings about more harm than good. ~*~Cover by TheHeraEra, who has a cover/icon/banner design book/shop if you'd like to inquire for one of your own stories. Thank you Hera!~*~

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.
