A descendant of the Brandt slaves, Desiree sparks emotions in Solomon—the likes of which he’s never known.

More than a year has passed since shaman John Running Deer and his equally gifted granddaughter, Evelyn Sherman, battled Brigindo and Teutates’ other three siblings in Cherokee, North Carolina. At the time, John and Evelyn prayed this would be it for dealing with violent ancient entities that supersede the normal realm of ghosts and other mischievous spirits. They naively equated the Hobbs family’s return to peaceful lives in Colorado as the end of their own misadventures with the supernatural. They couldn’t have been more wrong.

Free of the threat of Viktor Kaslow, William Barrow (a.k.a. Judas Iscariot) is tantalizingly close to finally having the life he has dreamed of with Beatrice and Alistair. But such optimism is short-lived. An ancient menace far worse than Kaslow has successfully tracked William and Roderick to Virginia after hunting the pair for nearly five hundred years. Hailing from the older kingdoms of Europe, this new threat once gained notoriety as the cruelest tyrant in recorded history: Vlad Tepes, better known as Vlad the Impaler.

The world’s last civilized vampire kingdom brings Txema and her infant daughter, Alaia, to the remote Tien Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. Seeking refuge and a lasting deterrent against vampire assassins, Racco and Gustav plan to recreate ancient amulets to protect mother and daughter from attack. Based on the only formula that can effectively kill any vampire, this one-of-a-kind protection currently belongs to just one person: Marissa de Saint Germain, Txema’s beautiful half-mortal/half-immortal cousin, and the offspring of the vampire Chanson and her former beau, Racco.

A birthright. It should be something no one can ever take away. But that’s not how it works in the world of vampires, especially when the birthright involves a unique type of blood necessary for an elitist vampire society to remain young and beautiful. Welcome to the continued misadventure of Txema Ybarra. The earth’s most privileged undead believe they deserve a stake in Txema’s blood, and there is power and prestige for whoever controls her ancient bloodline. However, the vampire demon, Ralu Izcacus, and his burgeoning Chupacabra army crave the same lofty status.

In this third installment of The Judas Chronicles, William Barrow (AKA Judas Iscariot) is faced with recovering the silver coin he dreads above all others. Known as the “Singing Coin” among the ancients, this shekel was initially lost long ago…on the very night of Jesus Christ’s arrest in Jerusalem. Hoping to save it for last, until after the other twenty-nine coins are recovered, Viktor Kaslow’s recent designs for the coin thwart William’s plan.

The man originally known as Judas Iscariot is on a mission to recover 30 silver shekels once paid to him for his ultimate betrayal. Twenty-two coins have been recovered, leaving just eight to go. But when his Russian nemesis, Viktor Kaslow, also becomes immortal, the stakes are immediately raised.

William Barrow carries a dark secret. A very dark secret. An archivist for the Smithsonian Institute and a part-time operative for the CIA, no one would ever suspect the handsome "30-ish" William is the most reviled human being ever to walk the Earth. His infectious warmth and sense of humor make such an assertion especially hard to believe. But long ago, William Barrow had another name…one that is synonymous with shame and betrayal: Judas Iscariot.

Born with an unusual "twin teardrop" birthmark on her neck, Txema (pronounced Chema) is one of only a handful of females in the world who bears this trait. It marks her as a vessel of eternal youth and beauty for an elite vampire society determined to protect her precious blood. But it also is the only thing standing in the way of a rogue "undead" nation determined to destroy humankind and usurp the power their sexier brethren have held uncontested for centuries.

Nick Caine and Ishi Cuyamel return to the United States with heavy hearts following a series of unexpected surprises in Scotland...surprises that have left them without Marie Da Vinci while placing the pair in the coerced employment of a secretive United States government agency. Rather than face the threat of extended jail time, for their role in looting precious artifacts from throughout the world, Nick and Ishi agree to give up their livelihoods as "creative archaeologists". If only working for "Project Golden Eye" was that simple.

David Hobbs, vacationing with his wife Miriam, inadvertently stumbles upon a small cloth keepsake bag and a broken tooth. A human tooth. Miriam begs David to hand the bag and tooth over to park officials, but he ignores his wife’s pleas and secretly keeps the "harmless" items. The action opens a doorway that had been closed for nearly a hundred years and unleashes hell on Earth, or at least hell in the lives of David and Miriam.

The long-awaited third installment of the best-selling Talisman Chronicles finds brothers Jack and Jeremy Kenney, wanted in the US for murders they didn't commit, loitering on Mexico's white sand beaches and inexorably succumbing to their growing wanderlust. Three years into their exile, Jeremy ventures across South America in search of the ancient castle of the Essenes, responsible for saving his and Jack's lives.

After escaping certain death at the hands of a rogue faction of the FBI in Manassas, Virginia, Jack and Jeremy Kenney race home to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Time is quickly running out for them and the rest of the world to prevent seven mysterious, but deadly, objects from reaching the United States.

After briefly eluding Yassir Ali's ruthless assassins in England, Nick, Marie, and Ishi have fled north, where they hope to track down a forgotten cavern in the Highlands of Scotland.

The first three Nick Caine adventures including, Temple of the Jaguar: Nick Caine is a part-time archaeologist and full-time antiquities thief-looter. And a very good one, too.

A city purportedly filled with riches beyond belief. Against his better judgment, Nick agrees to help...and soon finds himself on a trail into the unknown.

Long ago, before the myth of Merlin the Magician took root in the annals of time, a sacred amulet named after King Aurelius Ambrosius was said to bridge the mystical chasm between mankind and a race of gods and goddesses residing in the very heart of Britain....

Legends say the gold belongs to the famed goddess, Sekhmet. But a map belonging to Nick Caine says otherwise...at least to Nick. He has returned to Egypt to claim the treasure, along with Ishi, Marie Da Vinci, and an old friend of her father's, Akiiki Mubarek.
