Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.

They say in life there are no second chances. But what if you had blown it with the girl of your dreams? What would you do knowing that she was out there, in other realities, realities you hadn't screwed up? That kind of thing could really mess you up... and it could make you do "some crazy." Down-on-his-luck David Blunt is as loser as a loser you can get; recently kicked out of school and fired from his dead end job, David's been squatting in his flop-house apartment, avoiding his landlord and subsisting on stale fortune cookies and cheap street meat for weeks. But when David reads a fortune that predicts an epic future for him, he starts to think that his luck is about to change. Emma Gossett is a spirited world traveler full of wanderlust, and never stays put in one place long enough to form any attachments. Her lovable and eccentric Gran insists this is because she was hidden from the Norns as a babe to keep them from naming Emma's fate, a fable Emma puts little faith in. But when Emma meets David, her faith in reality is shaken to the core. Does this rambling cynical romantic hold the answer to the prevailing sense of déjà vu she's been feeling lately? Or is it just something else, as her new and mysterious and magnetic acquaintance Gabriel insists? Perhaps he holds the key to the mysterious sensations she has felt of living another life alongside her own. All Your Fates is a multiverse mindwarp with supernatural elements that one reader commented: "This story is twisting into ways a pretzel couldn't even try!!"

"I want you to guard me, be my bodyguard," he smiled slyly. Annabelle Cheval is 18 years old with a job as a security guard at EDwardian Industries, a company that works for a higher power. Although she doesn't know much about the laboratory, she loves working there, despite the frugal efforts of the other guards that want to take her down. But she has Dan, the only guard that doesn't underestimate her, and Cecilia, a child she picked up off the streets and took under her wing. She was happy with her life, that was, until she met Jake. Jake Edwards is the CEO of EDwardian Industries and when he suddenly decides to work on a project late at night, which so happened to be when Annabelle was working, he took interest in her. Annabelle slowly notices weird things about Jake, how he always sleeps during the day and can sense something from far away. Annabelle is determined to figure out what Jake's big secret is, with the help of her dead father's journal. "Honey, there are just some secrets that are meant to never be spoken of again."
