Ray Taylor – an average school boy from a small town who, to his great disappointment and regret, happens to be below average in height – is growing up with his pediatric nurse mother, and without a father, whom he misses very much. Pestered by the bully Murray and his pals, he is saved from the daily grind of school routine by his love of drawing, something that his sketch-filled notebook and the constant complaints of his teachers attest to. But there is a special secret that he can only entrust to his best friend, retriever Buddy. Yet there is something that beckons him even more than his artwork, and his first, timid infatuation with his classmate Jane – that is the search for infinite treasures. By a stroke fate, having been detained in the home of a strange elderly neighbor, Ray finds himself in the company of 17th century cutthroats and takes his place as the seventh and, as it so happens, missing member of a crew of pirates. On board of the schooner Celestine, Ray sets off on dangerous and captivating adventures across the seven, in no way resembling each other, distant worlds, in search of the seven glowing magical stones hidden there. It is these magical stones that, instead of seven keys, open the seven chests that lie undisturbed in a grotto on a mysterious, paradise-like island of Tuki-Tuki, on the bottom of which repose the seven parts of the torn and tattered map of the buried treasures. The legends promise the daredevils, who have reached the grotto, treasures fit not just for a single king, but enough to satisfy the desires of an entire hundred kings. Their way is guided by the dead Bloodthirsty Cook himself, through the pages of his Secret Book. Battling the devils in hell, at cards, bad-mouthing and cursing Captian Archie and his crew, Cook reveals to Archie each new step, but only after Archie undergoes ordeals, on dry land and on the high seas. Crowning all of these is the puzzle of Cook himself. Where should they sail to and where should they search? All the hidden answers would be revealed in The Secret Book, if only all of its pages weren't left entirely blank... "Ray Taylor's adventure completely sucked me in! As a mom of two boys who never sit still, I could totally relate to Ray's teacher complaints about his constant drawing. Poor kid, dealing with bullies and being shorter than everyone while missing his dad broke my heart. The whole idea of traveling through seven different worlds searching for treasure was so creative. Definitely recommending this to my book club next month!" - Amazon.com Ready to join Ray on a journey across seven worlds, through danger, magic, and mystery?

Be careful what you wish for . . . Barely seventeen and I'm already suffocating. Since my mother's death, my father has basically checked out, leaving us kids to fend for ourselves out in the New Mexico scrub. All I want is a little distraction from my boring life. When two mysterious guys show up at the diner where I work, I think my wish has come true. Until they start giving me a hard time. I've learned that pretty and poor is a bad combination; it just seems to bring out the bully in some people—like those two alpha jerks. Something about them twitches my internal antennae--they're gorgeous, elite, and positively ooze danger. And for some reason they want me. But not to worry, they're just passing through. I mean, I'm never going to see them again. Right? Then they appear in an alley one night, to either rescue or kidnap me (I'm still not sure which), before disappearing. I put the bizarre encounters out of my mind because I have bigger problems to worry about, like money. And that secret military academy that's been pursuing my gifted little brother. When one of their cadets shows up in my small town, he's an instant sensation. And just happens to be one of those mysterious guys from the diner. Coincidence? Mama said there's no such thing, and to always trust my instinct. But that might be kind of hard, because every time I'm around Cadet Davenport, my gut starts flip-flopping on me . . . and my heart. Can Kate Connelly keep it together long enough to stop Cadet Davenport's mission? She's about to find out. And—once again—how suddenly life can be split into the before and after. Publisher's note: The Academy Saga is meant for mature readers who crave suspense and slow-burning chemistry that builds into a steamy sweet and dark romance. It's packed with secrets and thrills that will give you all the small-town romance feels! A five-time Readers' Favorite Five-star book series. Customer reviews: "It was really hard to put this book down. I don’t really like books that progress slowly, and when this one ended I had to find out what happens next." - Amazon.com "I highly recommend this fast-paced, suspense-filled romance with a whole lot of secrets, an untidy love story, and a shocking and frustrating cliffhanger." - Amazon.com "If you are a YA fan, love romance, mystery, and paranormal, this book (and series) is totally for you. I guarantee you will devour this one. Highly recommend, 5 stars. CJ Daly is brilliant." - Amazon.com

Jesus really loves his Father, God. He loves him despite the fact that his Father has become a dejected, isolated, rude, lazy noodle that despises humanity, his supposed perfect creation. So, he does what any good son would do, and hosts an intervention for his Father in a rec center. The plan is this: send the Almighty Father back to Earth, stripped of his power, in hopes that he rekindles his love for humanity (and becomes less of a dick in the process). A decent plan, except for the fact that the man who architected the plan and convinced Jesus that it was a good idea, the Archangel Gabriel, is a sociopath, albeit a handsome one, that wants God dead and to rule Heaven for his own. The Archangel even hires Satan, a known entity in the world of evil, to kill God once he enters the Earthly domain. It's Revelation, baby. The end times. Just a little different than how the Bible thought it would unravel, though. Customer reviews: "A funny, exciting story. "A Perfect Creation," from start to finish, delivers laughs. This book, while often funny and light, also has depth in its discussion of what being human is. "A Perfect Creation" delivers on all fronts." Amazon.com "Humorous Read, Leaves You Thinking. An easy read that is full of humor! The characters are charming and get ready for a twist. the dialogue often leaves you questioning your relationship with your own version of faith, so despite being light hearted, I left the book with some philosophical musings."
