"Buckle up for a full-throttle thriller drawn with full-bodied characters." –Best Thrillers

An hour after Randolph Spiers quits his job as a mechanical engineer, he finally approaches the woman he's eyed at the supermarket, only to watch it explode minutes later with her trapped inside. The old Randolph would have gone home to his adulterous wife and forgot about it.

That Was Before.

The new Randolph tracks down the woman and drives her cross-country without a plan or Midwestern destination in mind. Even with his old life in shambles, that may be the least of his problems. The enigmatic woman next to him is running from her past too, and as trouble closes in and the truth behind the explosion is revealed, he's forced to question everything he thought he ever knew and felt-and everyone.

Now he must decide whose side he's on. And he doesn't know who to trust.

Surviving the apocalypse – one secret at a time.

Inheriting their grandparents' property after their parents' death, Penelope Geller and her brothers find an unlikely sanctuary - a bomb shelter. This heart-pounding EMP thriller charts their struggle for survival, brewing tensions, and startling revelations in a world that has lost its power.

The Coldest Night

During the coldest winter on record, an EMP sends American back into the Stone Age. Jack and his family find sanctuary in their cabin in a small, remote town, hidden deep in the forest. Little does Jack know the Blizzard will be the least of his problems.

She was born a princess. They made her an assassin.

Myrina of Stormskeep should be dead. The seven self-crowned, murderous kings of the Storm Queen's Realm thought she was killed in their massacre. But Myrina lives, and while she draws breath, she plots their end:

One will seem an accident.
Two a coincidence.
By three, they will know.

But vengeance rarely goes according to plan. The worst of the kings holds her sister--rightful queen and heir to the kingdom--captive. If Lettie isn’t freed before she comes into her magic, the kings will hold her power as well.

Myrina can let nothing stop her. With the help of her loyal bloodsworn Cassius, the shadow princess will have her revenge.

Vowed to enact retribution and rescue her sister with no more than her wits and a sword--and the last of her queensguard--this sweet and slightly stabby YA fantasy is perfect for fans of Shielded and The Princess Will Save You.

Stolen from his home, Corthie Holdfast has arrived in the City of the Eternal Siege as a new Champion.

Her new role, if she takes it, will bring her face to face with her deepest fears, for beneath the walls, in a secret and hidden lair, lies a dragon, imprisoned and waiting…

Now a 2020 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Winner in the Fiction - Dystopia genre

Some superheroes want to save the world. Damian is just hoping to save himself.

In the post-Break world of superpowers, necromancy is the one gift nobody wants. Everyone knows what happens to Crows; they go mad and they go bad. That's the story of infamous mass murderers like Crimson Death, Gravedigger, and Sally Cemetery. It's also the story of David Jameson, an otherwise unremarkable man who came home one day and killed his wife, orphaning their five-year-old son, Damian.

Thirteen years later, Damian has inherited more than just grey eyes and a beak of a nose from his father. He too is a Crow, doomed to become a killer unless he can find a way to avoid the violent madness endemic to his powers. When a Finder offers enrollment at Los Angeles' Academy of Superheroes, he jumps at the chance, believing training could be the key to changing his fate. His classmates despise him, the majority of his teachers want him expelled, and his mom's ghost hasn't said a word since reappearing when he was nine, but Damian isn't the kind to give up. He's going to take control of his destiny or die in the process.

It's that or end up like his father.

See These Bones is a post-apocalyptic, superhero, coming-of-age ghost story... with expletives.

Magic is the key...but will it save them, or consume them?

Everyone's got their own demons...

When Valora Keri was six years old, she was tired of being bullied. So she did what any kid in her shoes would do: She freed a cat-demon in exchange for the power to fight back.

She might have accidentally killed her mother in the process.

Since then, she’s tried to balance the scales by living a good life in post-collapse San Francisco, tending bar in a seedy club and acting as protector for the girls who work there.

But when someone brutally murders one of her girls, all bets are off. Val will stop at nothing to avenge her death and bring the guilty to justice.

Her search for the killer takes her deep into San Francisco’s underground, uncovering vampires, shifters, mobsters, monsters, and ancient cabals — and something she never expected — a race to recover a magical artifact of terrifying power.

Now, Val must fight to avenge her friend and also save the city she calls home from the forces that want to tear it apart. All while trying to keep her own demon in check.

If you love flawed heroes who never stop fighting, snarky sidekicks, and found family, you’ll love this thrilling new Urban Fantasy Supernatural Mystery series.

Because everyone’s got their own demons.

The Greek gods are real, and they've come back with a vengeance.

Andy and Zoey are two normal teenagers living in the year 2018—that is, until they're knocked unconscious in a freak storm sweeping the United States.

When they wake up, the world they know has been tossed away. Their city is in ruins, strange creatures walk the earth, and worst of all, everyone is gone.

They stumble across Diana and Spencer, two kids around their age who possess incredible magical abilities, and who claim to be the demigod children of Greek gods. Not only that, they also claim the year is 500 AS, five hundred years after the gods conjured a massive storm that destroyed most of humanity and helped them take the world as their own once again.

Andy and Zoey are soon handed an impossible task: To save humanity. To lead a war on the gods.

They'll have to battle monsters, death, and their own inner demons to survive and to protect the people they love.

Gods. Monsters. Magic. The War on the Gods series is perfect for fans of Greek mythology who want a new twist on the old tales.

Praise for The Helm of Darkness:

"Fabulous reading! Incredible world-building! Characters that come to life! Tons of twists, lots of action!" - Dianne at Tome Tender, ★★★★★

"Even the smallest of characters has a backstory, invoking such a love and engagement in me that it was difficult to drag myself away. I loved all of our protagonists deeply, despite their flaws and behaviours." - JK at Book Odyssey, ★★★★★

"This is the kind of book where you wonder why everyone isn't raving about it because it's the best thing since sliced bread . . . Mobley did a great job writing believable characters that grew over the course of the book but never strayed from their original identity. The characters in this, even minor ones, were given so much detail and show how well-thought-out the story is." - Alexia at BookishEnds, ★★★★★

"I enjoyed seeing a darker side to the Gods. Mostly in books and in real life, we picture Gods as being heavenly light and pure with good intentions. I liked how the readers for once see the greedy, hateful, controlling side as well. I highly recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next book in the series, Poseidon's Trident!" - Julia at Pages for Thoughts, ★★★★★

"For fans of Greek mythology, this story is like a treasure trove of references that is bound to satisfy your appetite." - Alessandro Reale, award winning author of Only One Samantha, ★★★★★

"This was a fast paced, dystopian adventure that I think fans of Percy Jackson would enjoy. There are some darker elements, some instances of gore, and some twists I never saw coming, so this may be better for those fans who age out of Percy." - C.E. Clayton, author of The Monster of Selkirk series, ★★★★★

"After Percy Jackson's adventures this series will be a hit of YA fantasy." - Eszter Szika at Goodreads, ★★★★★

"Author A.P Mobley has written such a unique plot that I'm actually shocked that not a lot of people know about this story. If writing about Greek mythology wasn't enough for A.P Mobley, she also placed the story in the future after the Greek Gods had taken over Earth. Isn't that interesting enough or what? Like I said before but I'll say it again, WHY ISN'T THIS BOOK WELL KNOWN BY OTHER READERS???" - P. G. Guacamole at Goodreads, ★★★★★

What are you waiting for, dear reader? Dive into The Helm of Darkness and team up with Andy and Zoey as they embark on a mythological quest of Homeric proportions!
