Lura Syllana

Even so, I’d sacrifice everything to see them free. Even my own freedom. Even my own soul. Which I will soon find out is the very price I must pay.

Broken Souls is a Dark Fantasy with a bit of romance. It’s inspired by Viking culture, but it is no way an accurate portrayal of historical Viking culture. It takes place within a fantasy world that’s heavily influenced by ancient mythology and lore of many different cultures among other things. That being said, this book contains some pretty graphic and controversial topics such as slavery, sexual assault, death, war, violence, blood, mental health, drug addiction, and many other controversial topics. This novel includes The Bound Soul and The Damaged Soul which makes up the first third of the book.

Santa’s Christmas Wish

About Santa’s Christmas Wish:

Who says Santa can’t have a Christmas wish of his own?
Santa’s love life is a mess – and he has one last chance to get it right.

A girl asks Santa for a man for Christmas. When prompted, he admit’s that he also has a Christmas wish – a baby.
Coincidence? Not a chance!

Audra doesn’t know she has a history with this particular Santa of the Sleigh. His name is Ross Shepard and Santa is his job title. Their association comes from way back, from a time when mists and snow covers most of the world. Winter, when the snow is deeper and food is scarce, is a miserable time of the year for everyone.

In a snowy valley, Ross and his brother devise a magickal contraption they call a sleigh. Santa’s job will be to deliver a little Yuletide cheer to everyone on the night before the Yule log cracks. But before Ross can take the job as Santa, he has to find the right woman to support his new venture and share eternity with him. That year, before the maiden voyage in the sleigh and before the Yule log cracks, Ross’ wife has to be in the family way.

Audra agrees to marry him and to become part of the Santa project, but she absolutely refuses to become immortal. She is in charge of the exact form the cheer will take. In the midst of the excitement to get Project Santa off the snow, Audra and Ross know they are having a baby.

Tragedy strikes when Audra dies in childbirth, her baby with her. Ross searches for her through the ages, always with the same result – they fall in love, marry, and Audra dies giving birth.

Now, in the present, Ross has one last chance to convince Audra to be with him forever, immune to death.

Shadows and Relics by L.L. Gray

A dark ritual. Werewolves on my trail. A single chance to uncover the truth…

Cameron Blaze is my name, living on the edge is my game. Acquiring an ancient artifact? Sure, I like old stuff. Procuring a precious? I’ve got some sticky fingers right here. I will do pretty much anything to make rent and will enjoy the hell out of the ride as I go.

When werewolves turn up in New Orleans for the first time in living memory, I was curious. When they start to disrupt my business, I was annoyed. But when they come at me? I’m ready to open a can of whoop-the-wolf, no matter the consequences.

Adding to my canine conundrum, ghosts are disappearing from the New Orleans cemeteries and rumors of dark rituals are floating around the seedy underbelly of my city. To top it off, a powerful and mysterious relic has gone missing. A relic that, by all accounts, has the power to tear the veil that separates this world from the next to shreds.

With time running out and lives on the line, will I be able to find this ancient relic before all hell is set loose on my city?

The Secrets of the Clock by C.S. Kjar

Three feuding sisters, two adversaries, and a grandfather clock stirred together make a magical time on the beach.

Essie Bunny, Sharon Claus, and Hannah Horseman are ordinary sisters with extraordinary families. They have not spoken to each other since a big blow-up at a family event fifteen years ago. When their mother dies, she leaves them a cryptic message, telling them to search for her last wishes on a videotape in their childhood home. She also tells them to set the old grandfather clock to five o’clock and wait for the magic to happen.

Barely restraining their dislike of each other, the sisters return to their mother’s home on a Florida beach to find a closet stuff full of unlabeled videos. The grandfather clock sits quietly against the wall showing nine-fifteen, just like it always has. Resentment grows as they search for the right videotape and try to understand what magic will come when they set the non-working clock to five o’clock.

Boogie Beach: The Record, Book 1 by Winnie Winkle

About Boogie Beach: The Record, Book 1 by Winnie Winkle:

Two bars, one magical and one human, lie in the exact same space. That should work. It’d better; I run those joints and we’re under attack.

I live a pretty weird life—as in gods in speedos, powerful witches with little patience for mere humans, and shifters whose vibrations make my guts quake. Plus, an oceanside bar and a magical book run my existence.

Beach life and eccentric are besties. The record picked me, Cleopatra O’Keefe, to be the next Keeper. I took over the book and started chronicling the intersection and occasional asininity of the human and magical worlds. That’s when eccentric plunked its butt on the deck next to mine and we careened into the world of funky oddities seasoned with occasional mayhem.

I’ve juggled the two worlds for almost twenty years, but my pier is under attack from the one entity feared by gods and magicals alike. Between slinging drinks, writing the history, and trying to keep the worlds in balance, I’m discovering that the Keeper’s job has way more depth than the magicals told me. Who’s lying? Which bits are truth?

I’m at a crossroads and it’s time to make a choice. Toe the line and live, or save the world and die?

Typical Tuesday.
