A citizen girl someone’s trying to kill.
A hot military slave with a mysterious past.
A dangerous game that changes everything.

In futuristic America, everyone wears a number. Treena’s as ready for Rating Day as anyone can be–she’s a top contender in Level Three school and has a highly-rated boyfriend. But when her number is announced, it shocks everyone.

To get her life and boyfriend back, Treena must go undercover and expose a military spy. Doesn’t sound too hard, except that someone wants her dead. And then there’s Vance, the mysterious soldier with a haunted past and gorgeous brown eyes. Together, they discover a dark numbers conspiracy, one that shatters the nation’s future. Treena must join up with Vance if she is to survive the dangerous game of numbers–and the terrible war that rages within her heart.

Fans who love futuristic thrillers and dystopian sci-fi adventure stories will enjoy this action-packed mystery with a dash of romance. This is book one of the bestselling Numbers Game Saga. From a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

“Gripping, from beginning to end . . . a tale as action-packed as Divergent yet as introspective as The Giver. . . . Sure to be an instant classic in the genre.”
-R.J. Craddock, author of The Children of Cain series

“Best dystopian fiction I have read since Red Queen!”
-Sheri, Reader

“WOW! I loved this story. From start to finish it was fast-paced with interesting characters.”
-Tina, Amazon Reviewer

“This book was amazing! It captivated me from page one and kept me wanting more, even at the end! It’s got the deepness of The Giver, with the excitement of the Uglies series, or the Hunger Games. It has romance, but it’s not just another love story, it really digs deep . . . I would recommend this to anyone, literally anyone.”
-Kat, Amazon Reviewer

“Better than Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies.”
-Karen Pellett, Reviewer

In’Dtale Magazine: “Built on a brilliant, if grim idea, the author reveals twists and turns gradually: building interests and enthusiasm with it! The idea of a number defining your worth, and then it being exposed to everyone’s eyes is horrifying, and the breakdown readers see Treena going through illuminates that perfectly. She has been stripped of respect and Numbers Game deals equally with her inner world battlefield of discovering herself again and the outer world one of surviving. It’s balanced wonderfully. . . . Offers new things to the world of YA and there is much to look forward to in the next books.”

Harry Potter Meets Star Wars?

Jack Finnegan only has to worry about dealing with school bullies, suffering through detention with his homeroom teacher, and getting noticed by the girl of his dreams… at least until an army of evil aliens invade Earth. Suddenly, this teenage slacker finds himself at the center of a galaxy-spanning conflict – where the lives of everyone on the planet are in jeopardy, soldiers use Quantum Physics to become superheroes, and the enemy uses some mysterious form of magic to make themselves practically unstoppable.

The secret to ending the conflict and saving the universe may lie in a powerful ancient spaceship, which it seems can only be flown by Earthmen. Now, Jack and a rag-tag group of allies must overcome impossible odds, defeat an unkillable enemy, rescue the princess of the galaxy, and save the universe from a threat more terrifying than any it has ever faced.

Can this underachiever rise to the occasion and become the hero Earth needs? The fate of all life in the galaxy may rest in his hands.

From the authors:

Epic adventure, arcane magic, monsters, heroes, talking cats, and we’re just getting started.

My best friend Carol and I have roamed the OF CATS AND DRAGONS world for over three decades, creating our stories in the telling — from our high school Dungeons & Dragons games to a database where we gathered over three hundred stories and story fragments. But now we are ready to share what we’ve conjured up.

It wasn’t easy, sorting through generations of characters, plots long and short, episodes half-forgotten and threads of tales never completed. From the moment Carol and I decided to write that first OF CATS AND DRAGONS novel, it took nearly a year of combing through storylines, weighing character arcs, before we arrived at a starting point.

Other decisions had to be made as well. While our stories range from grimdark to slapstick, we had to pick one path. Ultimately we had to go with what the core really was — heroic fantasy with a touch of whimsy. GOT without the naughty bits
And while we had literally dozens of possible protagonists to choose from, we agreed that Omen and Tormy were at the center of our fantastical universe.

And from where should we launch the tale of their beautiful friendship? After a couple of false starts and at least another year of trying to figure it out, we decided to begin — at the beginning.

NIGHT’S GIFT is the pilot to our new series, one we hope to renew book after book for as long as we can still put word to page.

We hope you enjoy our tale.

Can summer last forever?

Joy Wright has only two rules. Don’t ask questions and don’t get attached. So when Hayden Anderson comes into her life with a tempting proposition, she has a decision to make.

The plastic key card with the familiar hotel logo glared back at Joy. The only other item in the envelope was a tiny square of folded yellow paper. She reached for it, unfolding Hayden’s unmistakable handwriting. Room 108.

One word.
Three numbers.
Two choices.
Stay or go?
So much hangs in the balance.
The decision could change Joy’s entire future.

Surviving this summer romance won’t be a walk on the beach.
