That’s the strange part. Hunter has been magically morphed into… Sherlock Holmes? Yep, that’s how it looks. And, no, Sylver’s not happy about it. He wants only to break the spell and return them home. However, the hexed Hunter refuses to cooperate. His new persona demands a mystery to solve. Unfortunately, he and ...

Sylver Starr is a werewolf by birth, a cross-dresser by desire, and a secret agent for Earth Guardians, Inc. – although that last is beginning to wear a bit thin. Take tonight, for instance. Posing as participants, Sylver and his partner infiltrate the criminal blood-sport of dog fighting. Their mission is to rescue a kidnapping victim. Unfortunately, the victim is a giant mastiff who shows no sign of cooperating. Abused by his captors and trained to kill, he seems more interested in ripping Sylver to shreds. Understandable, but painful nonetheless. To Sylver, who knows the dog’s ...

One man, one woman, and a ravenous band of lust-wraiths – Let the games begin!… Eric is such a dreamer. On the outside he looks like a superman.

All she wishes is that Eric wasn’t several years her junior. If it weren’t for the age factor, she’d jump his luscious bod and live out a few fantasies of her own. Impossible, of course. Or is it? When a wacky fairy godmother slam-dunks Lena and Eric into the dark and dangerous game ...

Magic has often been described as “supernatural” – but only by those who don’t understand how intrinsically natural real magic is. Throughout human history all cultures of all places and times have practiced some form of magic, ranging from the most elaborate of rituals to the simplest homespun spells. Magic is a way of communing with the Divine and taking an active part in our own destiny by recognizing that we are part of the Divine, created by and comprised of the same cosmic energy that drives the whole Universe. As such, we have the power to tap into that energy and use it to ...

Fortunately for them both they’re surrounded by Star, Texas, a tiny twinkle of a town where trouble means laughter, and all roads lead to a happy ending.

A fantasy fable for all ages... In the mythical land of Lor, King Markus calls for a great race. Whosoever wins will be declared his successor, the heir to the throne. Quite a prize. The sly Nilana knows she'll triumph (especially with Hugo's help). The lame shepherdess, Dani, is doubly sure to finish last. Does Dani care about this? No. Well, not much. She isn't racing for fame, you see, but only so those caroling cabbages will shut up and let her rest. (Don't ask.) Besides, there's more than one way to run a race. And sometimes, in order to win, one first needs to lose. The entire kingdom...

Sprinkle with magic, toss in a kiss or three, and let love happen (just watch out for the elf hole)…

Hardly more than a girl really, but she had the courage of an Amazon and a heart as big as her intellect. To save another girl, named Gabrina, from an arranged marriage to this presumably wicked prince (well, a laird, anyway) called Alan MacAllister, Tabitha switches places with her. Expecting, naturally enough, that the...
