The Mayans were right.....almost. On the 23rd of December 2012, the Earth witnessed beautiful harmless meteor showers all round the planet. Beginning on the 25th of December, the world did end for the humans. The earth did not implode, the stars did not come crashing down, no giant tsunamis hit the coastlines nor did the seas and oceans have raging fires. But one prediction for the Apocalypse did come true. The dead had risen. Not for judgment by the Lord, that may not have been as scary. Very hungry and with uncommon pack intelligence they were a different breed of the undead from those seen in Hollywood. Initially only the recently dead awoke, then everyone who died on or after that day came back alive. The problem: majority of the world had died; the line for the recently resurrected was endless. But as always, humanity endures. Survival has always been something the human race has been good at. This time it will be the survival of the fittest. (Cover : Cataclysm)

A Gift in the Dark is a compilation of short works, many based around old myths and legends, and starts with a tale of a miner's descent into madness, history and legend, drifts through darkness, past a retelling of Red Riding Hood, up a crane, and along to the end of the world.

Roxanne Taylor was the most powerful Speaker of Fate ever known, inheriting two Speakers' powers on the day of their simultaneous demise. One of the Speakers was her mother, who had silenced her with a promise. Thirteen years of life in the Palace of Elrtiv, immersed in its pageantry and luxuriance had not turned Roxanne into a spoiled princess; instead she had grown up to be a silenced Speaker, a powerful mage, a skillful swordsman, and a determined avenger. [ Credits go to dear Garcia ( @ga_garcia ) for the intriguing title. ;) And thank you Darcy ( @likeadreamdrop) for the amazing cover~ ]

Going on with her "normal" teenage life of dating, school and dances proves difficult when Liam tends to show up during the worst of times - her date with the school's Quarterback, history class or at her friend Stacy's homecoming party. But it's not long before Liam's mysterious, charming, and somewhat cocky personality draws Rileigh in.

March 19 2015 -> Amaranthine is currently being edited, the changes will be uploaded when ALL completed chapters have been edited and the book is complete.

Andriana Crystal had lived with the Lucas family since a young age, playing the role of a quiet adopted daughter. On the outside she is cold and laconic - she hears and sees more than most. Surely it wasn't normal to overhear all the bickering in the neighbourhood, or being able to listen in for all ten classes running in the building at the same time? A sort of curse seemed to have fallen on her since the age of fourteen. To hide it, Andriana found herself re-dyeing her hair every fortnight and wearing sunglasses day and night, indoors and outdoors. She'd thought it was a secret she had to carry to the grave - Until someone came along and took those glasses away. " It's not a curse," Julyan told her, "It's a gift. You're an Elemental - a Rare Elite. You don't remember how many people in the Otherworld would kill for that status?" [ Negligible reference because I've totally forgotten about this part of the plot: All while an evil plot was on a run. To break free of the curse, shall ice melt in midwinter, snow falls in midsummer. ]

"Once the mirror is reunited with the tear, The Devil will ascend once again." In a mirror, the spirit of a dead King lies trapped. And in a pure twelve-year old, the Devil's spirit lies in wait. Rosy Rains, a sweet girl from a poor family, discovers the curse upon her. Because of the purity of her heart, the Devil chose her tiny body as his vessel. Artemis Delara, a bright but secretive young woman, is notorious for her past cruelty. In an attempt at atonement, she accompanies Rosy in her escape from the clutches of those who desire the Devil's tear, and encounter many allies, as well as enemies. All of Rosy's allies must make a decision; a decision that will save or destroy their land, their force, and the innocent Rosy. Meanwhile, the Devil watches in amusement as the pawns on his chessboard hold on to dear life.
