The Kura
There's something wrong with the Verdun Street Bridge in Granville. People don't like the way it feels. They take the long way around it if they can - and Alyssha Dodson knows why. A dark doorway under that bridge leads to another world. Alyssha spent a summer there when she was a child. She's promised her father she won't go back. But now she has no choice, does she? A hit-and-run victim from that world has brought her a message of trouble there - a message she doesn't understand, but one she has to deliver. Of course, she has other reasons for going back. There's a place for her in Bandor, better than any place in her own world. It's where she belongs. And there's Kardl - the boy she met there when she was twelve. She's daydreamed about him for all these years, and now he'll be there, waiting for her the way she's waited for him... Won't he?
A Glimmer of Guile
Vivia is what people in her world call a witch. She can create illusions, influence thoughts and feelings, move objects and light fires with her mind. But witches frighten people. There are some very bad ones out there - like Orath, "the Red Prince's lady," who has kidnapped the High King's teenaged son, Tedor. A woman almost as scary as Orath has ordered Vivia to find and rescue the boy. She'd love to duck this assignment. But Taso Raym, the strongest male witch in the world, has also been kidnapped - at least it looks that way. It was Raym who taught Vivia how to use her own strengths and warned her that losing her virginity would almost certainly mean losing all her powers too. Their grow...
The Boy-wolf
Vivia was born with a special gift - the psychic ability to read and influence thoughts and feelings, to create illusions, to manipulate the world around her in limited but important ways. Her world calls this gift guile, and speaks of it as witchcraft. When she learns to use and control her gift, she'll be a great healer, much respected - and much feared. Now, though, she's not quite fifteen, and she's fallen in love with a boy who has a terrible problem. When the moon is full, he becomes a wolf. It's an illness, he thinks. A curse. And only Vivia's love can cure him. Vivia knows he's right. But there's another problem. If she makes love with Lashti, she'll lose more than her virginity - she'll lose her guile, too. So she has a hard choice to make. Will it be the right one? There's no way to tell until it's made...
Into a Distant Light
When Lizzie and Robert married, she thought he'd had enough of adventure to last a lifetime. After all, his voyage above the Arctic Circle had been a near-fatal disaster, and he never talked about it at all. He'd never even written about it, except in a long letter to his sister. But someone, somehow, had found out. And now, given another chance, he couldn't resist that call. When he came back, of course, she would share in his fame, glory, and wealth. But what would happen to her if he didn't come back?

underland
Pursued by menacing strangers through her small Midwest city, twelve-year-old Alyssha Dodson takes refuge in a mysterious room under a bridge, a place that turns out to be a doorway into another universe. In the country where she then finds herself, Alyssha learns that the pursuit has not ended. A powerful and sinister man, Lord Raf Var Ne, seeks to gain possession of an object she was given years ago by her older brother a few days before he went missing. Told she can’t return to her own world, she begins a search for that brother, aided by Lord Raf’s charming but impetuous stepson. In the process, the two become involved in a revolutionary conflict. Underland is the story of a girl’s coming of age in the midst of an adventure like no other.
Vivia, Waking
For almost thirteen years, Vivia has been a child. Now, suddenly, she's a woman. That's startling enough, but she's pretty sure she can learn to handle it. She's not so confident, though, about other things. She's begun to know what people are feeling. She can change what they're feeling. She can make things happen—make water boil, make the wind around the campfire slacken—just by willing them to happen. All this is unsettling, but even scarier is the fact that she's been careless with her new-found powers. Her older brother knows what she can do, what she's becoming. Witchery, he calls it, and he also knows what will cure her. Now Vivia has a choice to make, and she'd better make it fast.

Ghosts
Last year, when they were still children, they went trick-or-treating. You followed them, in case there was trouble. Next year, when they're teenagers, there could be problems – spiking the punch, necking in the corners, smoking illegal substances in the bathroom… You remember that sort of thing, don't you? Of course you do. So, this year, on a holiday that gets wilder every year, let's keep the fun under control. We'll have a Halloween party. They'll love it. But what if guests show up who aren't on the guest list?
