Mirāju

Keeping it real and sharing bad jokes. These are two methods of survival that kitsune shifter Ren Suzuki lives by. That, and staying close to his gryphon friend, Oberon Rex.

But life has a way of whirl-winding. Ren’s engagement to his selkie fiancé, Lita MacLugh, has dissolved, and he’s been offered a job to teach at a different shifter school far away in Japan. Of course, the sensible thing would be turn it down and keep on keeping it real at the Dome and sharing bad jokes while staying close to Oberon Rex. And then he hears who is really requesting him — Keiko Higashi — his first real love from almost thirty years before.

​At the very least, he agrees to tour the Japanese shifter school, nicknamed the Mirāju. His traveling companion is a former friend from his high school years — Ben Taguchi. But their journey isn’t what it seems, and Ren finds himself far from home, and even farther away from help. Which is too bad, because he can’t even trust himself to decipher truth from mirage…

The 9 Tails of Ren Suzuki

Electrifying. Jaw-dropping. Hilarious.
​
These are just a few of the words that describe my tails. And who am I? Grow me a tenth tail, I am Ren Suzuki! Kitsune shifter, Prince of Puns, Jovial Jokester, and Master Storyteller.

Within the confines of this book are all nine of my tails, each one teaching valuable life lessons (and a few puns) that the whole world would benefit from hearing. Plus, you'll get an exclusive glimpse into my life, which we all know you've been dying to hear.

Be prepared, though, for within these pages you’ll read about bravery, sadness, love, horror, and creativity — all sprinkled with a dose of funny-bone tickling narrative by yours truly.

Outcast

​Lost and forgotten. An eternal, menial existence.

Leif Villers has been a vampire for nearly a century, and he hates what he is. Unwilling to live in the present, he falls into surfacing memories and re-experiences them — memories of Camilla and the Frost Boarding House, and of course, his beloved Gemma MacLugh who was murdered by a dragon shifter.

But the hermit vampire doesn’t know he’s being hunted, and after being rescued by the most unlikely person, he joins a school of vampires directed by a visionary leader known as Draven Denholm. Leif is motivated by Draven’s promise of discovering the way to resurrect his betrothed. But such promises come with a cost.

In an effort to bring Gemma back, will Leif forsake his past and become the very thing he abhors most? Find out in this prequel of the USA Today Bestselling Siren Prophecy Trilogy.

That all comes to an end when he finds out his wife is pregnant.

But leaving the fight doesn't ensure that the fight leaves him. When word comes of increased vampire activity in the nearby city, Oberon feels it's his job to investigate. His wife doesn't agree.
