"Amy was in tears now, shaking and distraught. Anne's adorable little head had popped over the side of the pit in dismay, doing its best impression of one of those baroque cherubs except with the weight of an equally baroque fate upon it. Kent's brows were in the ionosphere and me, well. For a minute, for longer, I thought I had completely lost it, for the body we had just uncovered bore utterly no resemblance to my perfectly lovely late sister, no resemblance at all." (from Her Ownmost Lives, QH2)With the narrative taken over by Gwynne's bereaved younger sister - the acerbic Melissa, who is also, unbeknownst to herself, Guinevere's legendary half-sister Gwendolyn - the four remaining young women must at once discover the meaning of their leader's testament, and avoid being discovered by the police while continuing their own life-and-death battle against those who, with Gwynne's apparent death, are now in the ascendant. With both family and school at critical risk, as well as their own sanity, they turn to not only the arts of war and magic, but also, and most importantly, to art itself, to measure their worthiness against the coming void."Book 2 of the dark urban fantasy trilogy Queen of Hearts is nothing less than heart-stopping in its action and heartfelt in its emotion. With a guttural intonation and journeys far beneath your usual adventure-tale gutters, the heroines seek to avenge their leader's demise while at the same time stop history from folding in on itself. Absolutely current in its themes, Her Ownmost Lives leaves us hanging off a cosmic-scale precipice by which only the intense gravity of the concluding volume could save us." - Avinash Pillay, COO, Insightful Ethics Communications, Ltd.

The Rex is the story of a modern day prophet who seemingly has been given unlimited power by God. His purpose is to point men and women heavenward before the end comes. Although no one is ever hurt by his prayers and his power, he becomes the most hated man in the world in a matter of a few months.

In the search for who and what this man is, they are confronted with far more than just what they suspected was simply a 'fanatic' preacher who was stalking them.

The Dandridges watch as the forces of darkness gather to destroy the one they have come to call The Rex, and they find out all to personally what it means to defend the man in the face of a society which hates him despite his love, his goodness, and his dedication to Jesus. The time is now, and yet Rex is moved by his God to make known that what heaven could do, it eventually will do whenever the end of the world finally arrives.
