The Wolf of Grimm Street – Aiden Murray
What if Fairy Tales Are Real?
Corruption and Greed have destroyed the city and Sabre’s life. When a job goes wrong, a mark turned client will present Sabre with a way to rid the city of the source that fuels the corruption. But if Sabre is to believe this woman, it means that Fairy Tales are not just stories. Magic is REAL!
Fable Falls was an ordinary city until the artifacts started to appear. Magic changed everything, causing the city that Sabre once loved to fall victim to crime and greed.
Private Investigator Sabre Richards had no interest in the artifacts or the magic they offered. They just wanted their city back to the way it was before the magic appeared.
Scarlet Veil had no love for the city. She just wanted to go home, but to do that she would need some magic and she would need Sabre Richards.
When a beautiful woman with a mysterious past asks Sabre for help, they learn that the items are not the only things that have left the pages of fairy tale books.

Sword in the Tome – Aiden Murray
What if there is more to the story?
“For there will come a time that the stories of Avanstoria will cease to be told, and the world outside of ours will need the magic more than we do. In its absence, evil will flourish, and good will seem to be lost forever. But fear not, as Avanstoria begins to lose its way, the heir will be found, and the stories will once again return.”
A fluke magical event sent Sabre and Scarlet to Avanstoria, leaving Ryleigh to turn to Gran for help. As she fights to find a way to get her friend back, Ryleigh learns that not all characters should be judged by their descriptions, as a book’s cover is only surface deep. When Ryleigh really allows herself to open up and embrace the people she is working with, two worlds will come crashing together and she will find herself deep within the story.
Navigating a foreign world, Sabre finds themselves thrust into a realm of magic where nothing is as it seems and magic fuels everything. A prophecy and an unlocked magical gift are just the beginning as Scarlet and Sabre seek out the Storyteller and attempt to learn why the Avanstorians were banished to Fable Falls.
In a world full of fictional characters, the pen is mightier than the sword, unless of course there is a way for the two to work in tandem.

Murder on Milverton Square is the first in a wonderful cosy mystery series set in small-town New Zealand. Investigate for a chaotic cast of local busybodies, delicious baked treats, a demanding and disdainful ginger cat, a very slow-burn romance with handsome policeman, and of course… murder!
