Imagine that your existence, your reality, even your entire being is nothing like you thought it was. Here is Solstice's reality - an entire entry into unreality! Check it out!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Convergence (Winter Solstice #1) by Matthew S. Cox and J.R. Rain is such a wonderful and awesome book! I fell in love with this book right away and was glued to it to the end! The world goes nuts after the "Convergence". People are thinking it is caused by the Hadren particle collider opening a portal to another realm. It is increasing the magic that is already in the world. Solstice is a gal that works at a magazine for the supernatural. She is good at it too. She also has a bit of magic and helps the FBI. After the night of the Convergence, she wakes up VERY different....VERY different...LOL, what a hoot this book it! So fun! I loved it, I laughed, I giggled, I can't wait for the next book!!! This is going in my favorite file!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I was just blown away by this story. It is highly LGBT friendly, featuring a married lesbian couple and a main character who might be bisexual. The depth of the character is classic J.R. Rain and this collaboration with Matthew Cox has piqued my interest in his other works. The action is intense. The background characters are deep. The story was engaging and I'm looking forward to the sequel." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "What a ride. I still don't know if I'm smitten with the brand new magic elf and magic in spares or terrified at the evil that men, human or not will do - all from the desire for power and fame." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Solstice Winters is a photographer for a newspaper that everyone thinks is bogus news. They cover the unusual. The magical. When an odd event happens, things change. People change. Solstice finds herself in the middle of a fight between humans and the magical world. Loved this book! Can't wait for the next!" ―Amazon reviewer

Wil Johnson's life seems relatively normal. High school graduation is a month away, his mom is getting married again, and then he and his best friend, Scott, will be heading off to college. For the past few weeks, however, Wil has been plagued by nightmares that he can't shake. Even more puzzling, his friend Andrew is having the same visions. The puzzle pieces begin to come together with the appearance of Cassia, a mystical being from the realm of clouds. She enables Wil to remember who and what he is, yet Cassia comes bearing dark news: Meslo, the enemy of her people, has released his children on the Earth, and Secret Keepers like Wil are the key to his plan. Despite her warnings, Wil finds himself falling prey to the black magic even as his feelings for Cassia begin to change. Unless Wil and Andrew can find a way to fight Meslo's evil influence, they'll lose their souls forever
