Book your ticket to Magic Island, where the potions are brewed fresh daily, the beaches are perfect for creature-watching, and the fangs and fur are on full display. Following another successful murder investigation, and hopeful that the problem of her rogue magic will soon be a thing of the past, Wren Winters’s life is finally starting to look a little rosier. With a life-saving potion in the works, an exciting new relationship to throw herself into, and not a single murder victim in sight, the newbie witch can finally sit back, relax, and watch the dragons fly overhead. Maybe she shouldn’t have let herself get too comfortable. When a grieving mother approaches Wren for help solving the murder of her son, she can’t bring herself to refuse, and so, once again, she must set out in search of a killer. As usual, the island promises plenty of adventure—this time, her investigation leads her to a home for displaced magical creatures, the lonely rocks at sea where the sirens await their prey, and a dense forest that a powerful werewolf pack calls home. But with that adventure comes plenty of danger. And as Wren soon finds out, sometimes the most beautiful things on the island can hide the deadliest secrets.
An acorn falls far from the tree Former Chicago lawyer Ben Holiday was very proud and quite happy. And why shouldn’t he be? The Magic Kingdom which he ruled as High Lord was finally at peace. He was free to lie back and watch as his new daughter grew. And grow she did—by leaps and bournds, shooting through infancy in a matter of months. She took her first steps and learned to swim in the same week. An amalgam of magic and heredity, Mistaya was born a seedling, nourished by soils from Landover, Earth, and the fairy mists, come into being in the dank, misty deadness of the Deep Fell. She was as lovely as her mother, the sylph Willow, with dazzling green eyes that cut to the soul. Ben wished he could enjoy his daughter's childhood and his happy kingdom forever. Alas, those idyllic days were not to last. For Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mist, rode up to the gates of Sterling Silver and shattered peace of Landover. His armies were poised on the border, ready to invade unless Ben accepted a challenge: Rydall would send seven champions to face Ben, each in a different form. If Ben triumphed over all seven, Rydall would then abandon his claims to the kingdom. Some counseled the High Lord to refuse Rydall's challenge, but Holiday could not, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic. And Rydall held the key to her fate. . . .

This is perhaps one of the most interesting books in the history of writing on human behavior, of how people think and feel and not hold back. For those who do not understand what gonzo writing is, you are now about to enter a world of reality in a comical way. There are many subjects that I talk about. A lot of my stories are very controversial. I speak on issues in such a unique way that you wont be able to help but continue to read page after page to see whats next. Ninety percent of this book is true stories. Ten percent is imagination at work. All my stories are poetic. When it comes to grammar, we have good and bad. When it comes to sarcasm and humor, bad grammar is definitely where its at. This book is loaded with humor. I give in-depth detail on what I think of the bad guy, technology, common sense, bedroom activities, relationships in general. This book will enlighten everyone who reads it as to the way it is. This is very educational and comical at the same time. When it comes to unique and different, this is like no other. I do tend to put my personality into what Im writing about. I like to call it artistic writing with raw emotion. If I am not mistaken, I am the only poet in history to give insight on the back of each one as to what compelled the writer to write what he did. This is always interesting to know. I also think this book is going to sell so well it will be printed in other languages and sold around the world.
