Title: A Peculiar Dusk
Genre: YA Contemporary fantasy
When the specter form of his imaginary childhood friend appears in his bedroom, seventeen-year-old Avery Slater learns that it's harder to get rid of the dead than he thought.
Ever since his childhood, Avery has been forced to listen to the whining of the dead. Crazy dead cat ladies and angry hit-and-run victims just love to tell him about their undead problems. After moving to the dinky town of Gravenhague, he thought he'd finally be able to leave all of that ghostly nonsense behind. Sebastian was never one for following plans.
Fifty years old with the temper of a raging third grader, Sebastian has a task only Avery can complete: Find his killer and set his soul free. Not an easy thing when the only clues are a broken violin, a feather, and the faint smell of lilac before death.
All Avery wants is to get this mystery over with, but with a seedy cult called Blacklight working to cover up the strange happenings of Gravenhague, it's more than a headache. As he descends deeper into the mystery, he discovers this isn't your average sleuthing case. Blacklight's spies are watching, and the town's occupants are less than hospitable. With disappearances and death shadowing him, Avery has to wonder if getting rid of Sebastian is worth the hassle.
If being haunted by ghosts has taught him anything, it’s that he never wants to be one.
Title: Nevermore
Genre: YA contemporary fantasy, Action/Adventure, humor
After losing the Aethernum Bellum--a watch rumored to have the ability to break time itself--in the middle of a heist, Elliot's lifespan has been cut in half and smashed into a million tiny pieces.
The Big Evils want his head on a platter, his boss is pissed and an annoying Warlock keeps hitting on him.
With his only option to retrieve it or die, he sets off into the chaotic magical underworld for any clues that will lead him to sanctuary.
When he discovers it's in the hands of a preteen with a snotty disposition and a permanent chip on his shoulder, he's more than a little peeved.
Said snotty teenager is also displeased. Fifteen year old Minkah Madlen's life is put on hold when the watch appears in his bedroom. A wild thief shows up out of nowhere to antagonize him, his best friend isn't completely human and his older brother is a part of a not-so-secret organization dedicated to ridding the world of supernatural creatures.
While Minkah attempts to protect the watch, he is hurtled through time with Elliot, to places only read about in history. From Victorian London to Ancient Greece, Minkah and Elliot will have to travel the ends of the Earth to keep the watch out of the hands of the...unsavory.
