No one outside the mage families are allowed to have magic, and anyone born with it must agree to have it stripped from them to avoid execution. Sunaya Baine, a shifter-mage hybrid, has managed to keep her unruly magic under wraps for the last 24 years. But while chasing down a shifter-hunting serial killer, she loses control of her magic in front of witnesses, drawing the attention of the dangerous and enigmatic Chief Mage. Locked up in the Chief Mage's castle and reduced to little more than a lab rat, Sunaya resists his attempts to analyze and control her at every turn. But she soon realizes that to regain her freedom and catch the killer, she must overcome her hatred of mages and win the most powerful mage in the city to her side.

THE SURF STING: travels with Miki Dora, Da Cat, and Don Wilson, The Pirate Captain. Foreword by Drew Kampion. Told in a lightly confounding third-person voice, this autobiography of the single person most deeply imbedded with Miki Dora during his international years is catnip to those fascinated with his story. Linda Cuy, a core, lifelong surfer by anybody's reconking, displays an enviable- if occasionally unbelievable-recollection for dialogue. The introduction of Don Wilson, a lovable sneak-thief with expensive tastes, lends emotional complexity and the third leg of this global menage a trois. Cuy portrays herself as an understandably naive young adventuress, but the reader soon watches her develop into a street-sharp boarder jumper who holding her own with some very sophisticated, exceedingly manipulative hombres. This tale is insider, surf-smart, and with broad appeal, from the YA reader in your house to your S.O.,to you. -S.H. book review, SURFER'S JOURNAL 25.6

The year is 1834, and men of the establishment have total control over their kin. Escaping is out of the question. Estranged from his abused mother, Thornton lives in isolation.That changes when Thornton's father buys three slaves, William, Ronan, and Henry. Thornton loathes slavery and realizes that for the first time in fifteen years, his father--and his father's rifle--are outnumbered.
