Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an Edwardian twist on The Tempest, and surprising, earthy, and magical qualities, this irresistible novel is set on the remote, divided Scottish island of Kissack and Skilling, one half of which looks historically and geographically towards Catholic Ireland, the other toward the Protestant north and Scandinavia. In the spring of 1903 a ship explodes as it docks on the island, drowning many of the passengers and crew in the icy waters of Stolnsay harbor. Young, strawberry-blonde-haired Billie Paxton is among the only survivors. Clumsy, illiterate, and suddenly alone, Billie will not say why, before the explosion, she jumped from ship to shore, and so falls under the immediate suspicion of her fellow passenger, Murdo Hesketh, and his cousin and employer, Lord Hallowhulme, who owns the island—and has controversial plans for improving the lives of its inhabitants. Gloriously inventive and vividly atmospheric, Billie’s Kiss conjures up a way of life hurtling toward a brave new world in an enchanting novel that brings together murder and eugenics, progress, prejudice, and the loss of innocence.

Book excerpt: In 1929, Betty Trainer, a beautiful, twenty-year-old woman immigrated to Australia from Scotland. Brave and ready for the unknown, she embarked on a new life, including getting married and having two children. But challenges developed, and soon she dealt with an abusive husband and postnatal depression, a tragic mix that led her to kill one of her sons and attempt to kill the other. In Kiss Billie for Me xxx, author Jeanette Gray, Bettys granddaughter, tells her story and that of Billie, the surviving boy who grew up to be Grays father. She shares Bettys tragedy as she migrated to Australia with no family to help her birth, parent, or recover from the unknown effects of postnatal depression. Gray narrates how Bettys situation and her actions had dramatic consequences for her and her surviving son and changed the course of this familys history. Kiss Billie for Me xxx offers insight into postnatal depression and restores dignity not only to Betty, but also to other women who suffer from the same affliction. While Kiss Billie for Me xxx is a story of tragedy and pain, it is also a story of great love and compassion, and serves as a lesson for treating mental illness with the love and care it deserves.

Book excerpt: Extraordinary jewellery heists in upper-class stores across Melbourne have been baffling the Melbourne police force. Each store targeted was fitted with the most sophisticated security system available, and yet, not a single alarm was activated in each attack. The only clue as to the perpetrator is a small token left behind at each location. The tokens are all identical, found on the forehead of a brutally murdered guard and inscribed with two words: “The Banca”. When a jewellery store in Sydney is targeted next, Detective Billie McCoy’s interest is piqued, but her mind is focused on more pressing personal matters closer to home. Jill Kuzac, cousin to Billie’s best friend, was lucky enough to receive community work instead of a jail term, only due to Billie’s support in the courtroom. Jill has barely finished her first month of service and is already lacking interest, particularly after meeting Harmony Conner. Billie’s instincts make it hard to trust the newcomer, but before she can investigate further, her life is suddenly turned upside down. Incriminating evidence emerges that places Billie as the number one suspect in the latest jewellery heist. To make matters worse, the evidence links her to the murder of a former police officer at the scene. Billie has no choice but to go on the run. With the full force hunting her down, she will need all her skill to prove her innocence. If she’s not careful who she trusts, she might just find she’s the next person found with a token on her forehead…

Book excerpt: Durf isn't dead. Brianna's Call is back.It's all happening again, but nothing is the same. The world is populated by minotaurs and it's all happening at the World Series. Finding Durf alive, Billy is transported to an alternate world where he finds Durf inhabiting a female baseball player named Billie. Trying to get to Brianna's call, and thinking that he went back in time, Durf didn't realize that Billie wasn't Billy and that the World Series wasn't the Super Bowl or even that Billie was a girl and not a guy. Making matters worse, Brianna's Call is being chased by a fleet of ships trying to figure out a way to use the magic. Unfortunately, they accidentally transformed it solid and now it's about to crash into the Earth. While trying to transform it back, Billy and the others are forced to confront Durfs from this planet, weapons left behind by the Norse Gods, and alien wizards all while pretending to be female baseball players.
