Holly Thorne has a normal life in Minnesota. Normal friends and family and grades. Her personality may be a little hyper and bubbly, but all in all, she's normal.

He left their family two years ago in Minnesota and ever since then, he's had nothing but success. So, Holly hasn't seen her brother in two years, but now, she's moving in with him for the summer. What she didn't know about her brother, was that he is best friends with Ryder West. Hollywood's golden boy, aka Holly's obsession. She also comes to terms with the fact that not only are they best friends, but Jackson also lives next door to Ryder and his family. This summer just took a very interesting twist for Holly, Jackson, and the whole West family. © 2014 Madeline States.

In a world where security cameras prove what you have done and databases define who you are, the few who know how to manipulate the technology can play God.

Epic, mind-bending, and as sweet as it is vicious, Lani Lenore’s Nevermor is a dark fantasy based on the legend of Peter Pan, geared toward a more mature audience. Recommended for 16+ – In 1873, 15-year-old Wren longs to escape her life in a London orphanage. Prompted by a world she sees in a dream, Wren begins to believe in a world called Nevermor, an island at the edge of the universe, where all dreams go. She discovers the Rifter, a wild and volatile but handsome boy, who guards the realm of dreams from terrifying nightmare creatures. Wren begins to desire her own life there – to escape with her brothers without fearing that anyone will separate them. Wren falls in love with Nevermor – and with the Rifter – and yet the more she learns of a conflict between the Rifter and a wicked, black-hearted man called the Scourge, the more she comes to realize that Nevermor is not a place for children.

In the 1970s, Troy joined the wave of hippies and draft dodgers going back to the land to enjoy the "simple life." When his attempts at homesteading fail as miserably as his attempts at love, Troy devotes his time instead to building life-size dinosaur replicas from the broken farm machinery that litters the Ontario countryside. The simple life indeed, until a young woman claiming to be his daughter knocks on his cabin door, and Troy is finally forced to admit that, far from simplifying his life, he had complicated it more than he ever realized. "Old Bones" won the Canadian Authors Association prize for best short story and was first published in the journal "Existere." Praise for The Wolves of St. Peter's: “This is the third novel by the Canadian team of Buonaguro and Kirk, and it’s the best so far. The setting is Rome, 1508, and Michelangelo is hard at work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The master’s houseboy and dogsbody is Francesco Angeli and it’s Angeli who spots a body floating in the Tiber. It wasn’t such an unusual sight in those days, but when the corpse is dragged in, Angeli is astonished to find that he knows the dead woman. The writers are adept at plotting and they make great use of the grand artists who were in Rome at the time, along with the streets, smells and the brothels they attended. There are also floods on the rise to add to the suspense as Angeli hunts for a killer and attends to genius.” --Globe & Mail

Two cops-- partners. They see it all: the good, the bad, and the stupid. And when they’re on the job, what they see could get them killed. This is one of those days. ***Note:  Rather than a traditional story, this is 'slice-of-life' fiction, comprised of various vignettes in the lives of these characters. This story may not be everyone's cup of tea.*** (This is the second adventure of Officers Earnest and Wry. The first is told in “Arrest Me.”)
