I was walking through an unknown foggy forest when I spotted a field of wildflowers. My feet had a mind of their own as they led me to wander through the flowers. I nonchalantly dragged my hands over the flowers. It was a beautiful and serene sight. I deeply inhaled the sweet scent of the flower and gave a little shudder of bliss. I closed my eyes and just absorbed the moment wanting to remember it. Suddenly the sounds of paws hitting the forest floor overwhelmed me. Then the forest was ignited with flames. Everything glowed vibrant oranges and reds as heavy smoke smothered me from above. I threw myself to the ground desperate for any trace of clean air. As I attempted to crawl out of the flowers a new sound harmonized with the thunder paws, screams and howls for help terrorized me. I clawed at the ground desperate to escape the menacing choir. Fire licked my skin and I screamed for help. Sobs escaped my lips as flaming branches fell on me from above. The smell of burning flesh was the only thing that consumed me as everything went dark.

Leave a Message After the Beep: Jojo… I mean, Mom. Oops, my bad. You've probably heard through the grapevine that I made quite a scene last night—and yes, at your favorite new restaurant, no less. Sorry about that. But, honestly, you'd have been on my side. That guy, my ex-boyfriend, totally had it coming. But you don’t have to worry because I've just landed a new job offer that I’m strongly considering. Did I ever tell you about that highly steamy yet ultimately regrettable one-night fling last week? Probably not. I don’t even know why I’m mentioning it now. Just forget I ever brought it up. However, the guy from that debacle is the one offering me the opportunity. I hear you, Mom. You raised me to know better. But here's the twist: he's loaded—like, billionaire-loaded. He owns a sports team, and—get this—he's part of the Grove family! I mean, he can singlehandedly change the course of my career path! And, Mom, you don’t have to worry about me mixing business with pleasure this time because Lynx Grove has made it clear that he’s the King of commitment-phobes and a real frog who will never turn into my Prince Charming. I will hereby resist his come hither energy. I will not fall into the trap of his charisma. Okay, I know what you’re thinking. “Thou protests too much.” But no, I mean it. I really do. Because even though his gorgeous eyes make my head spin and his scent drives me crazy, I will not give him a second chance to make a fool of me. You’ll see. Just wait, you’ll see. ' 'Once Upon A One-Night Stand' is an emotional, unpredictable standalone romantic comedy that guarantees a heartwarming Happily Ever After. Perfect for those who love a good laugh, a good cry, and a good love story.
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of the “lush, evocative Gothic” (The New York Times Book Review) The Doll Factory comes an atmospheric and spectacular novel about a woman transformed by the arrival of a Victorian circus of wonders—“as moving as it is deeply entertaining” (Daniel Mason, New York Times bestselling author). Step up, step up! In 1860s England, circus mania is sweeping the nation. Crowds jostle for a glimpse of the lion-tamers, the dazzling trapeze artists and, most thrilling of all, the so-called “human wonders.” When Jasper Jupiter’s Circus of Wonders pitches its tent in a poor coastal town, the life of one young girl changes forever. Sold to the ringmaster as a “leopard girl” because of the birthmarks that cover her body, Nell is utterly devastated. But as she grows close to the other performers, she finds herself enchanted by the glittering freedom of the circus, and by her own role as the Queen of the Moon and Stars. Before long, Nell’s fame spreads across the world—and with it, a chance for Jasper Jupiter to grow his own name and fortune. But what happens when her fame begins to eclipse his own, when even Jasper’s loyal brother Toby becomes captivated by Nell? No longer the quiet flower-picker, Nell knows her own place in the world, and she will fight for it. Circus of Wonders is a beautiful story about the “complex dance between exploitation and empowerment, and the question of what it really means to have control over your own life” (Naomi Ishiguro, author of Escape Routes).

A legend awakens... A monster hunts us. After hibernating for a decade, it's ravenous. We long to stop this nightmare, but the end of the road is far. There is no waking up once a legend sets its sights on you. Disappearances every ten or so years make little impact on the small town of New Haven, Virginia. Hikers get lost. Hunters lose the trail. Even when a body is discovered, the inhabitants' memories last about as long as the newspaper articles. No one connects the cases. No one notices the disappearances go back beyond Civil War times. No one believes a legendary monster roams the forests in Southwestern Virginia. I don't either until the truck breaks down on an old mountain trail. Cell phones won't work in this neck of the woods. It's amazing how much a person can see by starlight alone. So what if we can't feel our fingers or toes as we hike toward the main road. How many more miles left to go? Crrraaack! Hear that noise? The collection includes the novellas Once upon a December Nightmare and Nightmare Ever After and the short story "Good Nightmare, Scary Monster."
