What good is saving everyone if you lose yourself in the process?

College senior (and undercover witch) Cate Corey might be the world’s only hope when a casual book club discovers a real grimoire.

The book's power is addictive, and it's attracting dangerous attention.

When the leader of the club is possessed by the book's demonic author, meetings take a dark turn. With the help of a vegan vampire, Cate must find a way to return the book to the library's restricted section...

Before it's too late.

Unbelievable is Book 3 in the Cate Corey's Unmagical Life trilogy, featuring a relatable female protagonist, elemental magic, found friendship, and strong family ties.

Welcome to a world just waking up to magic, where a vampire might embrace a vegan lifestyle, and a librarian can crowdsource the translation of an ancient grimoire. Witches can be just as happy in a garden apartment as a cottage in the woods. Found family can come by both blood and bond.

New Release: (UN)MASKED by Anyta Sunday and Andy Gallo

Congratulations to Anyta Sunday and Andy Gallo on the re-release of their paranormal mm romance (UN)MASKED
(UN)MASKED
by Anyta Sunday and Andy Gallo
October 30, 2017
Genre: MM gay paranormal romance, magical realism, new adult

Jay Walker has two wishes: to perform the play of his dreams alongside his best friend at Wellington’s Tory Street Theatre, and to meet that special someone. Someone he’d go to the ends of the earth for. Someone who might only exist in fairy tales.

When Jay meets accordion busker Lethe Cross, it’s like living a dream come true. Lethe’s music captivates Jay, and he resolves to meet the man who plays so beautifully. But then he discovers Lethe’s life is more like a nightmare. The phrase “down on his luck” can’t begin to cover it. Determined to help, Jay does some snooping for answers—and winds up on the wrong end of a centuries-old curse. The good news is there’s a way to break it. The bad news is it might cost Jay his life.

This book was previously published by Dreamspinner Press. This updated 2nd edition has some rewritten parts and has been line edited again.

Andy Gallo’s stories capture how he wished he’d spent his formative years, instead of how it really happened. Unfortunately for his characters, they find themselves infused with some of Andy’s less noble qualities.

A hopeless romantic, Andy writes seated next to a hundred-year-old Smith Brothers typewriter he inherited from his grandfather. He also dreams of superheroes and wizards and sees no reason why two men with superpowers can’t fall in love just like everyone else. Although not all of his stories have a paranormal bent, a touch of the supernatural never derailed a good read in his mind.

Married and living his happy ever after, Andy helps others find their happy endings in the pages of his stories. He and his husband of more than twenty years spend their days rubbing elbows with other parents as they raise their daughter. Embracing his status as the gay dad, Andy sometimes has to remind others that one does want a hint of color even when chasing after their child.
