Their main works are on the Beyond the Veil universe's Viper Clan series, the Day Clan series, her Dragondera series, Sons of the Order series and the Benaga Sisters series.

Also, as there is confusion with some of my pen names linking to each account so some books will be attached by series but not by author page... these names are Clare SM Keating and C.S.M. Keating (Amazon author page muddled this up)Read more about this authorRead less about this author
