TIME WEAVER: HEART OF COGS
Book #1 from the Time Collector Series.


******I have a clock for a heart…And the man who put it there tried to take it out.


Time Collectors are modern day genies capable of exchanging wishes for time. Elizabeth Wicker lives within a steampunk world riddled with the supernatural. Among the stories of witches, Bacts and other monsters, Time Collectors remain as the greatest hushed secret among the noble families.
They are temptation's greatest tools. A contract with a Time Collector is a guaranteed death sentence, and for some the price isn't worth the prize.
But when Elizabeth is struck down by a fatal heart attack, she finds herself trapped beneath a Time Collector's blade. With no time left to offer, she makes a desperate sacrifice at a second chance of life.
If there's only one truth, it is a Time Collector will always come back to collect.

   My breath caught as he ran a finger beneath my chin, titling my head up. “Would you like that? Or would that make you mad at me?”    He slid his hand down and curved his fingers gently around my throat but in a manner that if he decided, he could easily clench and crush my windpipe. His thumb stroked over the hickey he had left on my neck, perhaps imagining his chance to make it bigger. I swallowed hard, resisting the urge to lick my lips. His smile widened as he dropped his hand.  “I’m just teasing you.”    “I don’t like being teased.”“Neither do I.”

MADISON KEEYS is a YA urban fantasy / romance that will be free to read on Wattpad. It is currently a WIP so I will be updating every week.
Just imagine a world where the wonder of Harry Potter and the scandal of Gossip Girl collided into a magic filled - high society academy for the super rich, famous and dangerously powerful. Yeah. Fun right?
Here's the first chapter:
https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/52436924-madison-keeysAnd here is where I got the cover: http://www.creativeparamita.com/
MADISON KEEYS - YA URBAN FANTASY.
In a world built on modern technology and magic, where fire breathers, tricksters and acid spitters are the norm among the general population, to be gifted with the ability to heal was one of the greatest powers to be blessed with. Madison belonged to a family of esteemed Shamans, a term more commonly known as healers, where she, her father and sister lived happily in Australia. Everything was perfect at the Keeys household, except for one little detail. Madison wasn't a Shaman. In fact, she wasn't born with any powers.

Believed to be among the un-gifted, Madison attempts to follow in her father's footsteps of medicine by using her brain instead of the family gifts and gets accepted into the most prestigious academy's of the world. Oxford Specialist Academy in London. Except there's one problem. Only the greatest and most powerful magic benders were ever accepted into Oxford, most coming from nobility and wealthy families.


For a girl born without any powers, her acceptance not only out casts her, but makes her question everything she knew about herself.

Title: Soulless: The Immortal Gene, Book 1Author: Jacinta MareeGenre: Dystopian / Supernatural New AdultHosted by: Lady Amber's Tours Blurb:Welcome to Soulless. We are the generation that laughs at death. Reincarnation; what was once considered a gift of immortality has become an eternity of nightmares. Nadia Richards lives in a world plagued by reincarnation, a system of recycling souls where all past memories, personalities and traumatic events are relived daily in disjointed sequences. Trapped within their own warped realities, not even the richest and most powerful are saved from their own minds unraveling. Madness is the new human nature, and civilizations are crumpling beneath themselves trying to outrun it. Within a society that ignores death, Nadia appears to be the one exception to the reincarnation trap. Born without any reincarnated memories and with printless eyes, the hot tempered 19 year old quickly becomes the ultimate prize to all those wishing to end the vicious cycle, or for some, to ensure they could evade death forever.

There had been plenty of stories about how the human race would end. Unlike the movies from Hollywood, there was no big bang like a sun exploding; there was no catastrophic moment where our world was flipped upside down like in a nuclear war or zombie virus outbreak. It was gradual, like a seeping virus that withered everything within its path until it ground us down into brittle, hollowed cores. It wasn’t out to destroy our bodies; it destroyed everything we once treasured. Hope, love, compassion, joy… even our mortality. It was all gone. And now it mocked us with a peace we could never achieve, death.
