A love story with zombies. Set during the Civil War.

A Union Army chaplain. A Southern belle. A forbidden correspondence across Civil War battle lines. And a mysterious affliction spreading through Confederate hospitals that turns the living into something neither dead nor alive. Beautifully Dead is a Gothic epistolary paranormal romance told through letters, journals, and the research notes of a modern-day historian who discovers her ancestor’s impossible love story—and realizes the affliction from the 1860s isn’t just history. It’s happening again. In the present day.

Who knew the end of the world could be this much fun?

Can three kids outsmart an alien commander disguised as an irresistibly cute cat?

When Emma finds a stray cat wandering around after a meteor shower, she does what any kid would do—she brings it home. She names him Prince. He purrs. He snuggles. He is, by all appearances, the perfect pet. He is also an alien commander plotting world domination, using advanced mind-control capabilities disguised as adorable purring. My Cat Came from Outer Space is a sci-fi comedy for readers of all ages about the thin line between “pet” and “planetary threat.” Because cats have always been planning something. Now we have proof.
