Torn between two words, Tory trains with the Musimagium and with Diego, a "e;Mad Bard"e;. Diego is pushing her to learn how to create magic without her clarinet, almost as if he knows something is going to happen. And maybe he does. Alamar is acting strange, regressing into an almost child-like state. And none of her Musimagium mentors will allow her to do anything about the prison complex where she'd found Alamar. Any action is all tied up in red tape.With the help of Pito, her magical bearded dragon, Tory works to get to the bottom of it. But when Alamar disappears and Tory has had enough of being told no, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Will her rash actions cost her everything, including her life?

Tory McRains thinks learning how to be a good Musimagia and following their rules would keep her out of trouble. She agrees to teach Alamar how to play the saxophone as a way to atone for her sin of accidentally wiping his mind, and his ability to play music. A local homeless man, Diego, reveals that he's a Mad Bard, which leaves Tory wondering if she has yet one more group of musical magic wielders to worry about, and when the giant anaconda guardian of her rainforest, whom local folklore calls Mother, reveals herself, well Tory realizes she's in deeper than she ever imagined.Add in increasing magical attacks, the fact that Alamar isn't living in a hostel like she thought, and the fact that the danger stalking the rain forest is now coming from within the Musimagia organization.Tory knows one thing. She's sick and tired of getting cryptic messages from those who wish to use her power as her own. It's time for her to take a stand, not just for her own life also but for the future of her rainforest home and those closest to her.

Nadia and her cat, Orains, pilot the Lilly Princess around the world in search of sunken magical treasure. She's got a lead on the sunken wreck of the Astrea and her magical cargo. A magical storm conjured by the Samurai, a group of mages with designs of their own on the treasure, pushes them off course. What could have scuttled the entire mission turns fortuitous when they discover the mystical treasure of Neptune's Cat. And once Orains puts on one of the collars, things may never be the same again. Note: This book was previously released under another pen name and has been lightly edited.

In the academies of the Musimagium there is a self-taught woman with a secret identity…Henrietta Smythe kept a low profile as an eccentric magical inventor who only used her first initial, shortening her given name to Henry when necessary. After all, women weren't admitted into the Musimagium's colleges, let alone allowed to dabble in the sciences. From her small home not far from the St. Louis railyards, she worked with trying to pass messages using magic and the telegraph, wanting to send the signals faster and farther than they'd ever gone before, even to England where she had a friend, Edward, who indulged her scientific curiosity.With knowledge of Henry's work, Edward sends his friend Leo, a professor in London, to America to meet his friend Henry. They had a mutual interest in using magic to send messages, if different techniques. But during their visit "e;Henry"e; becomes sick and Leo tends to the young scientist until he must return to England, and in doing so discovers Hattie's secret.Hattie recovers only to find Leo had to return to England and that he undoubtedly discovered her truth. She must know how Leo feels about working with a woman, because now that there's a chance he knows, she must acknowledge her feelings for him had grown rather fond. But Leo isn't the only one interested in her work and a chance offer from the Musimagium may take her away from all she's ever known and change the course of her life, including taking her away from any future with Leo.Hattie has to make a choice and choose between everything she's always wanted and the man she's grown to love.Author's note: This low/no spice romantasy story was previously released under a different pen name.
