You are about to embark on a fascinating adventure through the world of the Maker Movement with protagonists that are rarely, if ever, written about nowadays: a married couple. That like each other. We love the classic Dashiell Hammet series The Thin Man and wanted to bring that kind of fun and spirit into the contemporary world (without quite so much drinking). We're also inspired by the Maker Movement - an umbrella term for independent inventors, designers, tinkerers, computer hackers and traditional artisans - which seems to harness the best of what humanity has to offer. Combine the two and you have Design for Life which introduces the characters of Charlotte Sharp and David Velasquez, two people with complimentary skills who work together to solve problems. These humble geniuses are about to unwittingly mess with the progenitors of a dark and vast-reaching conspiracy.

Marcus was likely dead, killed by the Inquisition, or so it was believed. Then the vampire was found, broken beyond words, in an isolated prison fortress. Marcus had never expected to see daylight again, let alone be rescued by his mate. Now he worries he'll drag Caleb into his darkness. Caleb was the one who pulled Marcus out of his prison cell, and he's determined to drag him from the nightmares of his mind as well. After all, that's what mates are for, and Caleb had lost hope at finding his. And if he can help destroy the entire Inquisition? Well, all the better. Dealing with Marcus's physical and mental healing from his trauma is difficult enough, but Inquisition holdouts are causing chaos everywhere, and sinister plots are rampant. Marcus and Caleb have no choice but to fight back. It's a good thing they are not alone.

Built on the bones of an ancient city, modern-day Everstrand is where master mage, Rowan, has set up his enchantment shop. When not hanging out with his werewolf best friend, Caleb, or studying, he dabbles in herbology and the controversial practice of blood magic. A prodigy who has already earned two masters, Rowan's bound and determined to reach the distinction of grandmaster, a mage who obtains a masters in all five Schools of Magic. Shaw works for the Inquisition, the organization charged with policing the magical races collectively known as magicae. Recently, it has come under scrutiny as magicae begin to disappear and reports of violence increase. With secrets of his own on the line, Shaw is willing to risk everything to find out just what is going on behind all the locked doors. When Rowan and Shaw are entangled in each other's worlds, it becomes evident that their hearts are as much at risk as their lives. They must find the truth and stop a conspiracy before it's too late.

One spits marbles. One rips up anything it can get its hands on. One shuts any door it sees, one shocks you with static electricity, and yet another echoes anything you say. What are they? Why are they here? Well, they're called Animalcules, Fiona knows that, she doesn't know why or how she knows that, she just does. But why they're here is another matter entirely - she has no idea. Nor does she know how to get rid of them as they follow her wherever she goes. But if she doesn't figure things out quick, it's going to get real bad, particularly for the people in Mexico CIty who are now dealing with a building-size Animalcule destroying everything
