Calling all kid collectors! Julia Mills, the acclaimed creator of I Am Stuck, spins a funny new adventure about Robinson the raccoon, who loves to collect things. But when he meets a new friend, he discovers that memories and experiences make for the best collection of all. Perfect for fans of Memory Jars and In a Jar. Robinson the raccoon loves to collect things-big and small. His collection is amazing. One day he collects a shell that turns out to be . . . Rosie the snail! Rosie is not impressed by Robinson's stuff, and she takes him to see what she collects: breezes on the hilltop, the bubbles in the stream, and the magnificent northern lights. Robinson soon realizes that the best things to hold on to aren't always things-instead, experiences with friends will last a lifetime.

Haunted and hunted and holding tight to their happy ending, the Universe's got Her work cut out for Her, but then again...Fate Will Not Be Denied, right? Saved from a deadly explosion by six-foot-two-inches of walkin' muscle in ripped jeans and well-worn cowboy boots, Sam's had to rethink the whole idea of happily ever after and decided it sounds like a damned good plan. For the Guardsman who's hot-dogged his way through a hundred-and-twelve years, one brown-eyed, curly-headed doctor has made him rethink everything he thought he knew. Happily ever after's damned sure not just in fairy tales anymore, and Lance wants his. Of course, nothing this good could come easy, right? The traitor is closing in. Everything they hold dear is hanging in the balance. There is no flight, only fight and absolutely no one better get in the way. The stakes have never been higher - this couple's fighting for forever.

He is powerful. He is unstoppable.His is The King.There is nothing he can't do...Except convince his Mate they were made for each other. She is a force of nature. She is the daughter of a god. She is an Empress Eagle Shifter unlike any other.She is his Queen.There is nothing she can't do...Except ask her Mate for help.

Bubble, bubble, who the hell asked for a bubble?We're off to the Swamp, a nasty hex to tromp.Wanda the wand is rarin' to scoot, and the crazy Wolf is a root-a-toot-toot. (Sorry, rhyming's not my thing. Talk to Daisy. She's the danged poet.)Grab your boots, your magic, and a big can of bug spray, I'mma need all the help I can get to keep this evil at bay.The Dragonettes are out like a light with no little Prince Charmings in sight.Yes, there'll be Gators, but no worries, they've all been fed. Even that nasty little redhead,Nannette and her crazy brother, Ted.P.S. If you see Dash, tell him to get his Slothy butt to the Swamp!

Sharp...Successful...Deadly... Catering to every dark, erotic desire of his wealthy patrons has made Alaric a very rich man. His ability to tap into the very soul of each person, to see what they yearn to possess...intimately...sensually... has made CRAVE the most sought-after establishment of its kind in the world. A force to be reckoned with and Scottish to the bone, he carries the tattoo of a fire-breathing dragon wrapped around the left side of his body. This shield, along with his bond to the Universe's chosen warriors, the Dragon Guard, serves as a constant reminder of what was taken from him. Driven to excel...to always remain in control...he's never been defeated.But the Past is a cruel mistress who demands her due, no matter the cost.Fate refuses to be denied... Some demons simply refuse to be slain...And Life, no matter how long, rarely plays out as planned... Running from a past he can't escape, lost to the insanity of the Thirst - the scent of home, of buttercups and poppies, invades his senses, momentarily clears his mind, and demands that he find the one woman...the only woman, who can deliver him from certain death...his Bloodmate. This is a Vampire's Thirst... Dark...Dangerous...Undeniable...One taste will never be enough...

But...There have been an inordinate number of spiders lurking about my little cottage in the woods.I have been a little more klutzy than usual.And my daily phone call with my cousin, Molly, was hijacked by the Dragon of my dreams.
