Zale is a cry baby. He can't help it. He just gets so mad that the tears start flowing, which makes him even madder. It also doesn't help that the world is sinking. Unpredictably, the land shifts and entire cities can disappear under the water. Zale and his family thought they were safe, until the water started to rise. They raced to higher ground and lost everything in the process. With no money, they find themselves in a world congested with flood survivors. They can't find work or even an apartment. Steel, the local underground boss, has an offer for them that will end with Zale's mother and sister in a brothel. It'll mean money and housing, but Zale won't let it happen. He offers himself instead if the group takes care of his family. Steel agrees. Besides, he wanted Zale to begin with. (Sample: full story can be purchased as an ebook or viewed on Tapas and Radish Fiction.)

In elfin society, mates are predetermined but not allowed to meet until they are 18.

A twist of fate thrusts the two of them together when Rourk is forced to step up his protection and make his presence known. An ancient prophecy deeply entwines Keegan’s family in the future of their society. Depending on the outcome of the battle Keegan and Rourk may never have their life together.

Could true love really be restricted between human and human, animal and animal? Agatha “Aggie” Pierce defies the socially acceptable. On an annual camping trip with her boyfriend Blake, brother Neil, and his wife Holly, Aggie is captured and dragged away by a larger-than-life primitive beast with distinctly large feet: a Bigfoot. Never in her life did Aggie think she would come face-to-face with such a creature having lived her life believing they were only myth. While Blake and Neil’s friends and family begin to find a way to recover Aggie from the depths of the woods and remove her from the danger of this unknown primitive animal, Aggie finds herself becoming attached to the sasquatch, and even gives him the name Henry. She sees that, despite all that has been said about Bigfoots, Henry is definitely not the stereotypical Bigfoot. He has life and an almost humanoid personality. Henry’s attraction to Aggie expands to the point where she is questioning his calm disposition… It could turn out that Agatha Pierce’s attempts to go against the socially acceptable come back to haunt her in the end…
