His newest book Fey West is on Amazon:
​
Fey do not forgive, and they do not forget.
Neither do gunslingers.
A half-breed born under a death sentence in the New World and saved from execution in the Old, Rafael West—half-elven druid turned gunslinger—returns to his homeland, wary and beholden to the high fairy who negotiated his release.
To repay his debt, West is forced to protect and champion a dwarven railroad laying poisonous, cold iron across the wild lands of the fey continent, which means he’ll have to face the very elven tribesmen that want him dead for the crime of “stealing” their magic.
If Big Iron stops its march across fey land, anyone he calls friend will die. The woman he’s trying very hard not to love will die. One wrong move will plunge the entire continent into full scale war.
West will need more than six-guns and luck to survive. He’ll have to lie, cheat, and steal, but even that may not be enough once the secrets start to unravel. The fey aren’t the only ones with secrets to hide.
Leslie Conzatti
Princess of Undersea is a fantasy re-telling of The Little Mermaid.
Mermaid princess Ylaine believes that the key to improving relations between the Merfolk and the humans (while also dissuading her father from his obsession with declaring war) lies in paying the price to be human temporarily, to walk among them, and find out what they're actually like. In the process, she meets a prince who is lackluster about leading the kingdom, and a deep-seated plot involving members of the neighboring kingdom.
Ylaine must choose: does she go back to Undersea and use what information she's gained to try and win her father over, or does she stay and do what she must to thwart the enemies of the human kingdom, lest their actions spell disaster for the Merfolk as well?

Shadows and Secrets
(Queens of Secrets Book 1):
Teenage spymaster Saiya’s only task is protecting the Queen from everyone. Even if it means protecting her from her King.
With the ability to control shadows, Saiya uses her powers to gather secrets to protect the Queen from the Queen's own foul machinations. But when a false prince brings news of a possible plot that even Saiya didn't know about, her blessing starts to look more like a curse.

Meg Lynch
As Meg Lynch's debut volume of poetry, The Taste of Words: This is Only the Beginning serves as a reminder that anyone can write a book. The poems in this volume are simple yet beautiful, and they show the maturity of a girl falling in love with words for the very first time.
​
From writing only in couplets, realizing just how much fun sonnets and villanelles can be, and embracing the freedom of free verse poetry, Meg had fun playing around with words. She mulled over them in her mind to create poems of value. Not afraid to sit with a piece until it becomes something bigger than she originally believed it could be, Meg uses patience as a tool in her writing to make sure that what she publishes is good work.
​
From fourth grade through high school and even college, this book shows Meg's journey of discovering her writing voice and maturing in her style. Perhaps it might help you along your own writing journey. Meg sure hopes it will.

Divinity's Twilight: Rebirth
Epic Fantasy
__________________
A world consumed by war…
An ancient evil resurrected…
A millennia old bargain comes due…
When two blades clash, the third will fall, and the fate of all will be jeopardized. To save Lozaria, the failures of the past must be atoned for by a new generation of heroes. The time has come for mortals to cast off sight and, in doing so, truly come to see…
​
Victory is never absolute.
Seven centuries ago, the forces of order won the Illyriite War on the plains of Har'muth. Darmatus and Rabban Aurelian slew their elder brother, Sarcon, the despotic architect of the conflict, then sacrificed themselves to banish the cataclysmic vortex opened with his dying breath. The first advent of the Oblivion Well was thwarted. Even without their vanished gods, the seven races of Lozaria proved themselves capable of safeguarding their world.
Or so the story goes.
The year is now 697 A.B.H. (After the Battle of Har'muth). Though war itself remains much the same, the weapons with which it is waged have evolved. Airships bearing powerful cannons ply the skies, reducing the influence of mages and their spells. Long range communication has brought far flung regions of Lozaria closer than ever before. At the center of this technological revolution are the three Terran states of Darmatia, Rabban, and Sarconia, who have fought a near ceaseless campaign of 700 years in an attempt to best each other. The roots of their enmity lie buried beneath the wasteland of Har'muth, a place all three nations consider best forgotten.
However, an ancient power sealed within Har'muth has not forgotten them, and the descendants of those who fought on that field must now take a stand to rectify the mistakes of the past.

A Light Amongst Shadows
(Dark is the Night, Book 1)
​
James Spencer is hardly the typical troubled youth who ends up at Whisperwood School for Boys. Instead of hating the strict schedules and tight oversight by staff, James blossoms, quickly making friends, indulging in his love of writing, and contemplating the merits of sneaking love poems to the elusive and aloof William Esher.
​
The rumours about William’s sexuality and opium reliance are prime gossip material amongst the third years… rumours that only further pique James' curiosity to uncover what William is really like beneath all that emotional armor. And, when the normally collected William stumbles in one night, shaken and ranting of ghosts, James is the only one who believes him.
James himself has heard the nails dragging down his bedroom door and the sobs echoing in the halls at night. He knows others have, too, even if no one will admit it. The staff refuses to entertain such ridiculous tales, and punishment awaits anyone who brings it up.
Their fervent denial and the disappearance of students only furthers James’ determination to find out what secrets Whisperwood is hiding... especially if it prevents William and himself from becoming the next victims.
