Metaphase, Book 3 of The Starfarers Quartet, is now available in ebook form.
A man of mysterious allure to others, Aidan Dougal is alienated from a family he can never call his own and convinced that he brings literal destruction wherever he goes. For such a man intimacy is impossible and marriage out of the question. Even asking for help is beyond him…until a wily enemy forces him to accept assistance from a gentle young woman whose delicate beauty and strange enchantments turn his cool composure into red-hot passion. Left homeless by the death of her adopted parents, Mora Abbott seethes with a desire to live life fully and embrace the magical talents she’s only beginning to discover in herself. But Aidan Dougal presents a formidable challenge...and unless he is willing to open his heart and explore the potential of their combined magical powers, their attraction can never blossom into the full flower of love.

"Lauded for her research as well as her terrific storytelling skills, Nagle . . . gives life and depth to characters on both sides of the battle lines while telling a host of secondary tales. Pointing up human foibles as well as detailing the hardships and the horrors of war, this is a worthwhile read." —Booklist
"a funny and disturbing satire" -- Ideomancer.
Far in the future, an interplanetary civil conflict has ground to an uneasy halt, leaving its human victims bitter and desperate: Kithri, the daughter of a scientist, abandoned on a desolate mining planet with no hope to use her talents, and Eril, shell-shocked pilot, finding adapting to peace more difficult than he dreamed. A freak accident sends them back to a time when their desert world was lush and green, when an alien civilization stands on the brink of a war of total destruction. And they must choose — to remain outside the conflict or to stand up for what they believe, even at the cost of never getting home again.
Dead of Light When Benedict left home, it was maybe the first time he’d stood up to his family. It was also meant to be the last. No contact, he said, I’m disinvesting. In all honesty, they weren’t sorry to see him go. Ben had never had their talent, never had the family spark. When you run a city — especially the way the Macallans ran theirs—the last thing you need is a reluctant passenger. But suddenly Ben’s learning a lot, far more than his university course could ever teach him. And as his family starts to die one by one — vicious, gruesome, horrible deaths — the chief lesson is that you can’t turn your back on blood. There’s someone in the city with as much talent as the Macallans, and Ben’s connected after all. It’s there in his body, it’s in his veins; and be it thick or thin, be it still pumping or leaking out, blood is very much darker than water... Cover art courtesy C.E. Murphy
From the concrete canyons of the modern city to the halls of ancient kings, from deepest ocean to cosy homes in sprawling suburbs, nowhere and no one is immune to magic. But as many forms as magic takes, there always arrives a hero to accept the challenge, and sometimes, to pay the price. The hearts and imaginations of some of today’s finest writers come together to create this one-of-a-kind collection of fantasy stories.
  French Fried
Animals behaving badly, other people's misfortunes and the most bizarre true crime story ever. French Fried is the unfortunately true account of Chris Dolley’s first eight months in France and has been described as ‘A Year in Provence with Miss Marple and Gerald Durrell.’
Chris Dolley In an uncertain world there is one organisation that stands head and small furry shoulders above the rest. Whenever the planet is in danger – be it from giant balls of wool or bands of renegade squirrels – only one group is guaranteed to answer the call. The International Kittens of Mystery!
Stories of the Ælven A collection of stories set in the magical world of the immortal ælven: tales of courage, devotion, invention, and love that illuminate and enrich the ælven world introduced in The Betrayal.
This is a true story. Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted to learn all that there was to know. But knowledge has a price, and the greater the knowledge, the higher the price. The knowledge that the boy yearned after was very great indeed...
...is a collection of stories set on alternative earth, a place powered by steam and magic. This world of dreamers, experimenters and engineers, soulless humans and ensouled machines was born of most unlikely parents: four poets who gathered one cold summer on the shores of Lake Geneva in 1816. All-new and never-before-seen, these stories explore the unfolding consequences of that gathering — and how it changed everything we thought we knew about science and ourselves.
