~ The Dreaming: Old Shalon's Story ~ It's the year 2067, and I am living in the shattered remains of Old Vancouver -- after the Cascadia quake, after WW3, after it all ended. I've been surviving all these years through the help of a young boy named Michael, a wildling, an orphan, one of the Forgotten. He's been with me since he was a little one, but now he's all grown up. This morning he told me he's going to leave Old Vancouver. He wants me to come with him... But that's ridiculous! How can I do that? I'm too old for those kinds of shenanigans.... ------ The Dreaming is a novel series spanning over 200 years and designed to be read in ANY order YOU choose.

She's never seen the sky or breathed fresh air and The Family is the only thing she's ever known. One day Imorah's Grandmother disappears. They say it was a suicide, but Imorah knows better. The only clue Imorah has is the book that her Grandmother left behind -- a book that Imorah can't even read. - 2257: Liran's Story follows a young man who struggles to survive in the deserts of what is left of North America. One day he finds an old technological relic -- a robot head that still functions -- and Liran is thrust into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. - 2063: Old Shalon's Story --> this is Old Shalon's Story, please read story blurb above. COMING SOON. Starting sometime late in 2015, I will post the last installment of The Dreaming, where these five narratives will collide.

**Wattys 2016 Winner!** Fifteen-year-old Emmeline Jefferson doesn't have time away from the Demons. Not a minute to say goodbye to her family, not a moment to wonder "Why me?" Every second she's not possessed is spent begging stranger after stranger for help. But no one believes a sporadic girl who claims Demons have spent more time in her body than she has. No one until she finds Dumaine. Dumaine Chartres's whole life fits in his accordion case, his friends are nonexistent, and this fascinating girl is telling him Demons exist. These things all make perfect sense. What he doesn't understand is why humans have such outrageous issues with murder. Death is natural. If he wasn't supposed to kill anyone, they wouldn't have died. Nobody even noticed the bodies anyway. In return for a break from his internal demons, Dumaine offers Emmeline help, and she's willing to receive it from anyone. Maybe this boy can finally be the keeper she needs. Maybe chasing these Demons can explain why he's so different from everyone else. Maybe this friendship can work. With a wise but demented old man, and enough determination to perturb the Demons, Emmeline and Dumaine concoct a plan to unriddle their lives. The first step is to confront the Demon's creator. But something else seems to have found the creator first. And it only looks like an Angel. Human Spines is part one of a YA dark Urban Fantasy written in a style similar to Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me and Elana Johnson's Possession. It's the first of a series and told from the viewpoints of Emmeline, Dumaine, and their rambling but wise navigator, Hans. Through a diverse cast, it explores themes of learned distrust, fear of the unknown, and the battle against the evil inside us all, in a way similar to a Studio Ghibli film. Cover by ecclesia-
