Goldie by K.C. Shaw
Musa Publishing (ISBN 978-1-61937-103-3

When coal is all you've got, any change is for the better.

Goldie is a foreman at the Colburn Supreme Steamworks plant, but she dreams of a better life for herself, out of the coal dust.  When a stranger named Ben turns up in her shift, Goldie wonders if he’s her ticket out of the coal.

Ben is obviously more than he’s trying to appear, and he’s just as obviously interested in her.  But when a venomous ghost rat attacks her friend and would-be fiance Ginger, it sets off a chain of events that sends Goldie out of the Colburn Supreme Steamworks plant and into a much stranger life.

Now she just has to decide what, and who, she really wants.

Blood and Ashes (sequel to The Taste of Magic) by K.C. Shaw
Etopia Press (ISBN 978-1-936751-85-3)

The Gryphons have a secret. And someone thinks Ana knows it.

Back in May, things were heating up between healer Ana Miradwen and the King's Enforcer, Vincent Ondarr. Then Vincent stopped seeing Ana abruptly, only to resurface in July--with a fiancee. Ana's hurt, but she's angry too. When Vincent summons her to his office, she plans to tell him off.

But Vincent has a proposition for her, and not one she expects. A half-breed rights group called the Gryphons is fighting for change--but it may be a front for something darker. Vincent needs Ana to join the Gryphons and investigate.

Ana's happy to help, especially since it means spending time with a couple of gorgeous elf men. Never mind that Vincent thinks they're smugglers. But when someone tries to kill Ana, she realizes that she's in way over her head. Only it's too late to back out.

The Taste of Magic by K.C. Shaw
Etopia Press (ISBN 978-1-936751-49-5)

Analefa Miradwen has spent the last ten years avoiding vampires. She knows her blood is a delicacy, but she doesn’t want to share. Not after the last time, which nearly left her dead.

When the vampire mage Magnus begins stalking her, Ana turns to the King’s Enforcer for help. Vincent Ondarr has the manpower and the magic-power to keep her safe. According to him, Ana’s blood doesn’t just taste good, it enhances a mage’s magic.

The trouble is, Vincent’s a vampire mage too. If Ana wants to keep her blood to herself, she’ll have to figure out which one of them she can trust. And what exactly Magnus wants from her...

Jack of All Trades by K.C. Shaw (illustrated by Richard Svensson)
Ancient Tomes Press (ISBN 978-0982135280)

When odd-jobs man Jack Bywater arrives in Tolchester with his pet dragon Pepper, he expects the usual requests for his handiwork: carpentry, animal husbandry, simple spellcasting. But Tolchester's odd jobs are decidedly odd. Oddest of all are rumors that a long-lost artifact, the Crown of Britain, is hidden in the town--rumors that at least one person seems to believe. Jack and Pepper must deal with fairies and ghosts, magical storms and cross neighbors, and the legendary bee-man while they search out the truth.

It's all a bit more than Jack expected. Particularly whe
n he he falls in love.
