New Release: Key Change!

As front man for supergroup Queen Anne’s Revenge, Devon Bailey has a string of hit songs, has traveled the world, and has everything he could possibly want–or so the rest of the world thinks. Behind the scenes, however, Devon’s life is far emptier than anyone could imagine.

With his band scheduled as headliners at Rocktoberfest to kick off their latest world tour, Devon tries to maintain the illusi

Ari McKay liked Jeanette Waters's review of Airs Above the Ground (Carnival of Mysteries): "Airs is Rachel Langella's addition to the multi author series The Carnival of Mysteries. I've really been enjoying this year's Carnival, but the reason I downloaded the book was the title. As a teen, I read Mary Stewart's story of the same name. It w" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Ari McKay (?)

“Gaia isn't some mystical mumbo-jumbo conjured up by a bunch of superstitious idiots. Nor is Gaia simply a name for a power beyond our understanding, one we follow blindly like primitive nature lovers or stoned hippies. Simply put, Gaia is life — all life, from the single-celled organism up to the blue whale. But it's even more. It's also the world that life inhabits, the complex, evolving, self-regulating system that makes existence possible. It is through Gaia the atmosphere and the seas and the forests combine to maintain the ecosystem sustaining life. Everything in this world has a beginning, an end, and a purpose in maintaining the balance in which we exist.”
― Ari McKay, Blood Bathory: Like the Night

Thank you! We had a lot of fun writing it. We're both history geeks and doing the research was a lot of fun. We hope to write more historicals in the future, and we both have an adoration of steampunk, so that's on our list as well. So many things to write!!! Thanks again, we're eagerly looking forward to reading your review!
