The Curse of the Black Cat
2019
Alrik has two choices: Spend eternity eating mice, or learn to accept himself for who he is. As his eighteenth birthday draws near, prince Alrik—heir to the throne of Edan—must choose a wife. But when his first kiss with a beautiful princess leaves him feeling cold, he knows that although it is his duty, he cannot love a woman. In a fit of panic, he seeks out the aid of the witch Gwydion. The witch, however, has other plans. After hundreds of years as a cat, Alrik must learn to accept himself and who he loves or face the rest of eternity as a cat. Luckily, New York City's dumpsters are ripe for the picking. With food from around the world to choose from, he finds himself drawn to one restaurant in particular. Crystal Tokyo—a restaurant specializing in Japanese food—is Yuuki's first big job as a chef, and he loves it. So, what happens when Yuuki decides to befriend the black cat hanging out in Crystal Tokyo's back alley? This story is perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell's Simon Snow Series, Ashley Poston's The Princess and the Fangirl, and A.W. Jantha's Hocus Pocus.

The Curse of Ash and Blood
2020
To conquer or to tame—how to break a curse and handle a dragon? To save his village from ruin, a kind young mage named Fable must face off against the dragon. When Blaze—the dragon—can't be reasoned with Fable turns to the local witch, Gwydion, for aid. But no magic can tame a dragon, and where Blaze's temper goes, tragedy follows. Blaze leaves Gwydion with only one choice, the witch curses Blaze and blesses Fable. It's the curse—or perhaps fate—that brings them together over and over again through all of Fable's reincarnations. While Fable remembers nothing of his past lives, Blaze is forced to relive his mistakes repeatedly. Until he comes face to face with Fable Alperen, a sweet, good-hearted, veterinarian who just moved to New York. Could this be the time Blaze finally conquers his own demons? Will Fable finally be able to tame the dragon? No magic can tame a dragon, but perhaps a curse can help. A story for lovers of fine fairy tales such as Rainbow Rowell's Cary On, Ashley Poston's The Princess and the Fangirl, and Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue.
