Now, she's in a new town, she's met a gorgeous guy she'd like to trust, and she's having strange visions.The pressure is on to choose a side. Both sides need her if they want to win. The futures of humanity, the fae, and the entire planet all depend on Siri. Which side will she choose? Can one girl really save the world alone?Ellis Logan’s new YA Fantasy series, Inner Origins, is action-packed with magic and romance. The books combine fairies, Celtic/Norse mythology, and hollow earth theory to create an adventure you’ll never forget.Rave Reviews for Shades:"Ellis Logan has come onto the YA novel scene with a strong funny, teen-age protagonist by the name of Siri Alvarsson. Siri is a likable character who, despite her normal adolescent insecurities, can still hold her own, which is refreshing to see. More than a coming of age story, it felt like a coming into one's own story. And yes, it has the requisite love triangle, of course, because she’s a teenager discovering herself as a woman. Siri finds herself coming into some abilities (coming into her power as a woman?) which get progressively stronger. She ends up on a quest and must make choices and decisions along the way. On one level, her choice could simply determine the next turn in the quest to save those she’s trying to save. However, on another level, her choice is all about her. Does she choose to honor and support her own strength and power, and independence, or does she give her power away? The action is amazing, as is the folklore background. Logan's descriptive wordplay is impressive, painting the scene for us like a canvas. There were literally spots I wanted to stop and enter the book, they sounded so lovely." ~ L.Shab"Ms. Logan has written a strong, fast paced story. Her world building was vivid and descriptive. Between that and the well developed characters, I was immediately pulled into the story. Every chapter added something new and exciting to the story. The author did an excellent job of getting seventeen-year old mannerisms, attitudes, vocabulary and humor down to almost perfect.The plot and writing are strong and this is more than a story between good and evil or light and dark. For a seventeen year old girl, Siri has a lot on her plate and hard decisions to make on her. On the up side, there are two handsome young men who want her attention, and an adorable pet squirrel named Miko, so it's not all bad. The end tied up the existing story nicely but left enough questions and situations open for the next book. For a first time fantasy author - well done!" ~ D. Christiana"Ellis Logan bursts on to the fantasy scene with a fast pace, suspenseful story about Siri Alvarsson, who discovers that her life is not what it seemed. As she discovers the truth, she is taken to worlds that she never knew existed. As the story progresses, so does the suspense, leaving you wondering what will happen next and wanting more. Ellis Logan takes you on a wonderful and magical journey. The question that begs for answers? How much of this is truth vs. fiction? Imagination vs. reality. Ellis Logan will challenge any and all preconceived notions about what we believe is real and supports her theories with scientific data. It will make you question so many things that happen in real life. I honestly loved it and cannot wait for the next book in the series." ~ E. Wolff

The Fairytale Keeper Part One

A fever claimed Adelaide’s mother just like a thousand others in Cologne where the dead are dumped in a pit outside the city walls. In an effort to save her mother’s soul, Adelaide’s father obtains a funeral for his wife by bribing a priest, Father Soren. An atrocity at the funeral drives Adelaide toward vengeance, but avenging the mother she lost may cost Adelaide everything she has left.“A…resonant tale set late in the 13th century… with unexpected plot twists. An engaging story of revenge and redemption… An opener to a future series.” - Publisher’s Weekly “Really great story. The author’s style reminds me of many great historical fiction pieces that I’ve read. Strong emotion injected into almost every page.” -The Vine Review “…a unique twist on the Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Part fairy tale retelling, part historical fiction…. The Fairy Tale Keeper is a story of corruption, devotion, and tough decisions.” -Copperfield Review Adelaide’s mother, Katrina, was the finest storyteller in all of Airsbach, a borough in the great city of Cologne, but she left one story untold, that of her daughter, that of Snow White. Snow White was a pet name Adelaide’s mother had given her. It was a name Adelaide hated, until now. Now, she would give anything to hear her mother say it once more. A rampant fever claimed Adelaide’s mother just like a thousand others in Cologne where the people die without last rites and the dead are dumped in a vast pit outside the city walls. In an effort to save Katrina’s soul, Adelaide’s father obtains a secret funeral for his wife by bribing the parish priest, Father Soren. Soren commits an unforgivable atrocity, pushing Adelaide toward vengeance. When Adelaide realizes that the corruption in Cologne reaches far beyond Soren, the cost of settling scores quickly escalates. Avenging the mother she lost may cost Adelaide everything she has left: her father, her friends, her first love, and maybe even her life. Seamlessly weaving historical events and Grimm’s fairytales into a tale of corruption and devotion, The Fairytale Keeper, leaves the reader wondering where fact ends and fiction begins. The novel paints Medieval Cologne accurately and vividly. The story develops a set of dynamic characters, casting the famous villains, heroes, and damsels of Grimm’s fairy tales into believable medieval lives. Though historically set, The Fairytale Keeper brims with timeless themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for justice. The Fairytale Keeper was a Quarter-Finalist in Amazon's 2013 Breakthrough Novel Contest. It has also won Indie Book of the Day and was a finalist in writing.com's "Hook Us" contest.

Cordyceps Trilogy (Book 2): Cordyceps Resurgentis

CORDYCEPS IS BACK.

Two hours outside Washington D.C., neighbors report a strange odor coming from the house next door. It smells like something dead. Police knock on the front door to no response, but an unmarked van is parked in the driveway. A van with Florida plates. Something has survived. Adapted. Learned.

From the author of CORDYCEPS comes the story of the second, even deadlier outbreak of the real-life fungus that turned humans into vicious, brainwashed zombies and devastated Florida—but the Resurgentis strain will not be so easily contained. This time, Cordyceps has an unstoppable strategy for spreading across America. And this time the government’s effort to stop it will prove more drastic—and more controversial—than ever before.

Mason Hartsock left the war behind him in Iraq—or so he thinks. He’s hiking the Appalachian Trail through the Shenandoah National Forest when he hears the sound of automatic gunfire coming from a town in the valley below. He could keep going, but he’s never run from a fight.

Khava Sultygov is studying at James Madison University on a student visa. So far, the quaint college town of Harrisonburg, Virginia has been nothing like the war-torn nation she escaped. But the America she knows is about to change forever, and her boyfriend will find out that the only thing sexier than a woman with a foreign accent is one that knows what to do with an AK-47.

The first outbreak was only the beginning. Cordyceps stalks are rising all over America. “Coughers” are massing into a horde. “Managers” are leading them straight for the last remaining knot of survivors, fighting wildly at each other’s backs. When the ammunition runs out, an empty rifle is still a weapon. A crowbar is a weapon. A baseball bat is a weapon.

Fight for your life.

Making Faces

Alternative cover of 9781301673872 Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have...until he wasn't beautiful anymore. Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of * Beauty and the Beast where we discover that there is little beauty and a little beast in all of us.
