This is just a compilation of short stories I have written per someone's request or dreamt up and jotted down in less than an hour. I'll keep updating this collection as I write more. At some point, when there are enough of these stories, I'll bundle them into a paperback and publish it. WARNING: THIS IS AN UNEDITED VERSION. PLEASE FORGIVE GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES AND SUCH.

A smile crossed Death's cold, skeleton face. "Looks like you're out of a job," he told her. The angel looked up at him, shocked. "I-it's not as easy as it looks," she insisted. [A compilation of short stories that are sometimes about life, but mostly about Death.]

Shay is kinda shy, Rekness is sort of withdrawn. She'd rather study history than her society's renown Artwork. He's the academy's star Artwork pupil. Normally they'd never talk, but a chance encounter and a certain graduation dance are about to change all that. Meanwhile, a stranger with a blue cloak and pink hair slips into town, trailing blood and sweet lies in her wake. She seeks an ancient lock, and knows that a certain student is the key. The Mountain Dancer is the story of a girl at a crossroads, a boy who doesn't know his own strength, and a lost secret that has slept for far too long. ~ This completed novel contains strong language, sexual themes and scenes of violence.

Blue Sparrow was born on Twitter. It's a compilation of my daily ramblings as a first time novelist encouraging myself and others to bite the bullet and do it despite the fear of the blank paper, the insecurities, and the angst every writer faces when trying to bleed the story out. My Twitter followers asked me to make this book. They said they want to carry it around in their pockets and take it out each time they feel stuck, scared, or simply need to smile. They tell me my tweets are encouraging and funny. You be the judge.

Nightingale is human - or would be, had it not been for the manner of her creation. Genetically engineered and grown to adulthood in a lab, she was created, not born. Why? For the sole purpose of the entertainment of rich men as one of the many Inamoratas in the bordello business . Beautiful, elegant, a superb dancer and an even better singer, she is the perfect lover for any man. Perfect, that is, except for her personality - the one thing you can't engineer.
