When Pascale Auber is forced out of the airship of the evil Dr. Simpelstur, she finds herself rescued by a handsome Ruritanian diplomat, Theo von Hentzau. Pascale soon realizes that Theo is hiding something - something to do with the evil doctor, the equally perfidious Archduke of Ruritania, and a string of anarchist bombings that have rocked the capital on the eve of the royal wedding. Adventure, romance, mystery, airships, fraternal twins, troublesome schoolchildren, an opera diva, an absent-minded professor, and a number of suspicious explosions await!

In this story from the (as yet unpublished) collection Lost in the Tale, Janet spends a promised Season in London, with her English father. Will she meet the English tourist who wed her than left her? Not if she can avoid it, though she may need to find him if only to finalise a divorce. The Earl of Medford thinks the Scots girl with whom he had a brief affair in the Highlands must have bewitched him, for he cannot forget her. But his agents say no one of that name exists. And his sister insists he must put the interlude behind him and choose a bride. Can they resolve their differences? And will a child, a cat, a meddling sister and a jealous stepmother help or hinder?

The zombie apocalypse has arrived, the virus has been dubbed as AM13, and the human race is struggling to survive. Here are some short stories to accompany Lockdown, Forgotten, and Extinct (but they can be read as standalone)...delve in and enjoy life among the undead! Outbreak: No one has it worse than Rachael! First her parents make her move to a crappy new town, then Zac starts ignoring her, and just to top everything off...the rumours of a zombie apocalypse seem to have more truth to them than anyone could have imagined! Quarantine: Katie did not sign up for this when she went to medical school. She's now working as a nurse at one of the specialist medical facilities set up for the AM13 virus. She doesn't want the humdrum of dealing with sick, dying patients every day, she wants to be the hero who finds a cure! As the Lockdown starts, and more people with the virus are bought in, can she keep control of the situation? Crackdown: Oliver might have a slightly shady past, but he joined the police force to make the world a better place, how was he supposed to know the whole world was going to go to hell? Now, with zombies roaming the earth, he has to try and follow orders, whilst sticking to his (okay maybe newly found) morals and stop his old self from coming back. One Year On: It's a year into the apocalypse, how are our favourite characters surviving?
