Thresholds of the Grand Dream
Every night, when the kids at Sonia Obata's new school go to sleep, they go to the Grand Dream. In this mysterious place, they can do whatever they want—play a game, write a song, or paint a masterpiece—without a single adult to bother them. It seems like a paradise. But when Sonia discovers something has tampered with her memories, she realizes there's a dark secret lurking deep within the Dream. She escapes the Dream's clutches and sets out to shut it down before it causes a psychic disaster.
By day Sonia goes to school like any ordinary kid. By night she crosses the thresholds of dreams, looking for a way to save her friends and classmates. She must not only fight through bizarre visions and terrifying nightmares, but also confront the bully she once was, along with the trauma of her mother's death.
Feast of the Sisters (Published by Park End Books)
An ancient evil has set the table in sisters Jo and Vicki’s small Tennessee town. Moths and butterflies stalk the vampires’ would-be victims, while an unseen tempter lures Vicki further toward a feast where she is on the menu. When Vicki disappears, gentle and sensitive Jo vows to do whatever it takes to save her-even tracking Vicki through the haunted lair and secret tunnels of a notorious, immortal killer. Will Jo and her friends stop the feast before it happens, or will they become its guests of honor?

In fact, it is magic.
That's why a young man named Owen and a witch named Wanda are setting sail to the perilous Silius Island, searching for the source of this enchanted honey.
But will the bee people that inhabit that island consider them friends, or foes?
