Book 1
The Girl from Ithaca
By Cherry Gregory
Book 2
The Walls of Troy
By Cherry Gregory
“I have nothing but praise for this vast, sweeping, yet enjoyably accessible interpretation of the Trojan legends. Ms Gregory has done her Hom-er work well, and the result is a fascinating and finely woven tapestry worthy of Penelope herself.”
“The pace and excitement of Cherry Gregory’s first book, The Girl from Ithaca, is well matched here and the revisiting of the Greek myths imaginatively worked. The climatic tension between Achilles and Agamemnon keeps the pages turning, the reader becoming totally involved in Neomene’s survival.”
Angel of Iron
By TK Shideler
Game of Thrones meets Battlestar Galactica
With the World-Eater fast approaching and the Inferi on the rise, will Azrael, Gabrielle and the other Descendants of the Saints be able to save IronHelm?
It has been 1200 years since the World-Eater was vanquished, and still mankind and the inferi are at war. Now, the only thing standing between humanity and utter annihilation are the Descendants: the last meager remains of epic champions called the Saints. But with the sub-human inferi pressing upon them, time is running out. And all the while, a galactic menace lurks in the shadow, waiting to take its revenge: Witch the World-Eater.
TK Shideler has created a work of epic vision, detail, and imagination. Angel of Iron transports us to a galaxy of ancient evils and futuristic technology, where genetic mutation and millenium-old hatreds threaten to destroy the last remaining bastion of humanity. Join the Descendants of the Saints in a journey that reaches into the heart of the Ironhelm series. Angel of Iron is the first book in the Chronicles of Ironhelm.
“Angel of Iron is one of the most gripping books I have read in quite some time…This is a book you won’t be able to put down, and once you finish you’ll want to re-read.”
“Shideler’s Angel of Iron throws the reader into an intense futuristic world, immersing them in an entirely new culture. This is certainly no run of the mill post-apocalyptic story…a thrilling, fascinating start to what will be an excellent series.”

It’s all fun and games until someone goes missing, the Cuerpo Nacional de Policia show up, and Abi loses everything she really cares about.
When Abigail takes a week-long vacation to Ibiza with her best girls for a hen party, she expects sun, sand and a little bit of drinking. Okay, a lot of drinking. But she doesn’t expect her mother to show up and start romancing an elderly tourist, especially when Dad is holding down the fort at home. Or to find herself swept away (literally) by a multimillionaire on his yacht. Or that one of her besties would betray her deepest secret and her fiancé would call off the wedding.
Join Abi and the girls for rollicking fun in the sun and a little back-stabbing and nail-biting thrown in for good measure. A must for your summer reading list!
“This book is a real page turner…I’m very much looking forward to reading more from Jones.”
