Vulcanalia
Entre los años 154 y 153 a. C. un suceso cambió para siempre el curso de la historia: la llamada segunda guerra celtíbera. Intrigas, ansias de riqueza y el poder del Senado romano son los ejes vertebradores de esta cruenta guerra. En ella, los celtíberos luchan por su supervivencia como pueblo frente a un enemigo dispuesto a todo por conseguir su objetivo: el saqueo y el control de Hispania. En esta fascinante novela, los personajes de uno y otro bando se ven arrastrados hacia un caos sin sentido, en el que incluso los dioses deberán tomar partido, desembocando finalmente en lo que los romanos denominaron con acierto la «guerra de fuego».
Novendalia
Tras la presentación de Vulcanalia —primera novela de la saga Guerra de fuego—, se estrena Novendalia, una novela de transición, antesala de la tragedia, que posibilitará al lector asumir el dramatismo épico y brutal de la tercera y cuarta entrega de la saga. Debido a esto, Novendalia se distingue por su capacidad reflexiva y filosófica, que fusiona todos los elementos que me agrada hallar en una novela histórica; rigor en los datos, amor, intrigas, misterios, mitología, odio, sexo, venganza y sorpresa. Se trata de una obra literaria de un sabor agridulce, sombría, radiante, épica y trascendente, en la que se aprecia y se percibe a todo lo que debe suceder en la tercera y cuarta entrega de la saga.
El ocaso de Tanit
Los cartagineses, en un intento desesperado por establecer un acuerdo de paz con el Senado de Roma, desencadenan los acontecimientos, iniciando la tercera guerra púnica, que tendrá lugar entre los años 149 y 146 a. C., que consistió en el asedio y la destrucción de la urbe púnica. No obstante, antes de que esto ocurra, los cartagineses idean un plan para salvaguardar la esencia de Cartago de la destrucción que se avecina. Tras la firma de la paz con los celtiberos, los vientos de guerra vuelven a asolar la península Ibérica. En ese instante, surge un héroe homérico que lidera a los lusitanos y pone en jaque a las legiones de Roma. Se trata de una novela histórica de sabor agridulce: sombría y radiante. Donde el lector se verá inmerso en el dramatismo y en la épica de los acontecimientos vividos en ese periodo convulso de la historia.
My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece

To his father, life is impossible to make sense of when he lives in a world that could so cruelly take away a ten-year-old girl. To Rose's surviving fifteen year old twin, Jas, everyday she lives in Rose's ever present shadow, forever feeling the loss like a limb, but unable to be seen for herself alone. Told with warmth and humor, this powerful novel is a sophisticated take on one family's struggle to make sense of the loss that's torn them apart... and their discovery of what it means to stay together.

Silence is Goldfish
SILENCE IS GOLDFISH is a story that demands to be heard. 'I have a voice but it isn't mine. It used to say things so I'd fit in - to please my parents, to please my teachers.

Omnia
All you have to do is imagine--the Omnia superstore has anything you could ever dream of. Where else but Omnia would a boy go looking to replace a one-of-a-kind stuffed bunny that happens to be his baby sister's favorite toy?
