Of course, ignorance and pretending can only get you so far. With her only true friend, a German shepherd named Bear, Blaise has to try to find herself. Either way, she's in deeper water than she could ever imagine.

"Why isn't there an electric shock when we touch?" I ask Quinton. He takes his eyes off the road momentarily, looking at me as if I'm going to disappear at any moment, like the little girl in the orchard or the one in oil paints with the crushed bouquet. "Do you ever think that our lives have been planned ahead of our existence?" I don't attempt to answer. If my life has been planned, I wonder what direction it's meant to take. -- Lina Towley is one of the ordained: brought back from the dead by government scientists who believe she has a purpose to fulfill on Earth. Living a half-existence until she discovers the purpose planned for her she has no recollection of her past life. Along comes Quinton who tells her she isn’t like the others and may be able to help reveal her past. Not only that but he offers her another, more dangerous purpose that puts at risk everything and everyone she holds dear. Forced with a choice between two purposes, one chosen by scientists and the other by a man she barely knows, which will she choose and does she have the power to make decisions for herself? One thing is for certain, the society she lives in isn’t everything it is made out to be, and the government is determined that no one should know that Lina and her fellow ordainees ever even existed.

Never fall in love with a mortal. Rhys is a cursed man. He broke the one rule he had sworn to follow and now he is paying the price. Exiled from the fey realms and on the run, who can he turn to for help? When his brother comes looking for him things might not be as easy as simply running away... Frosted lashes, silent lips, Winter grasps cold fingertips. Through the night and through the day, Winter's song begins to play. thank you to @matt-murdock for the beautiful cover :) ****WARNING**** This story is extremely unedited and will barely make sense. I begun writing this over three years ago and haven't looked at it in over 8 months. Suffice to say, the plot is disjointed and confusing, and there are so many plot holes that there are more holes than there is actual plot at this point. However, I won't be taking this down because at some point in the future I may return to it and edit and rewrite. So, read on at your own peril. There will be many errors ahead. Thank you.

Super powered humans started appearing 30 years ago. Now, they are everywhere. Bob Moore, Private Eye, dares to investigate those who could incinerate him with a thought. When he is called to help a super from his past, however, he'll be pushed to his limit. When supers and the police think there is no crime, can he get to the truth? Will he want to for the man that destroyed his marriage? What People are saying about Bob Moore "The most delicious "superhero" themed book I've read. The world is incredibly deep, believable, and realistic with its own rules and terminology. The characters come alive and make you feel." -Vitaly Alexius, Creator Romantically Apocalyptic "This was quite an enjoyable read. When you cross a gritty gumshoe with spandex superheros, their two worlds collide in spectacular fashion." -Jeffrey Hendricks, Author Seeking the Heavens "The book is fast and keeps your interest. This was the first book that as I approached the end, I started getting a feeling of dread that the end was coming up and at the same time I had to find out the finale. What an enjoyable sensation."

Meet Joe Nobody . . . and pray he never meets you. He's average height, with an average build, and average looks - an instantly forgettable face in the crowd. Joe also happens to be a hit man, quite possibly one of the best in the world. He's so good, in fact, that most of his work life has settled into a comfortable routine, where everything goes according to plan, and nothing at all is surprising anymore. He's been just about everywhere, and he's seen it all. But Joe hasn't seen everything. Not yet . . . **WARNING** - This work contains several curse words and some extremely violent themes and situations throughout. I mean, the main character is a hit man . . . there's your first sign. You've been warned. **ADDITIONAL WARNING** - This is soooooooo first-draft-ish, so any problems you see logistically, thematically, or grammatically are all the fault of a combination of absinthe and overzealous fingers. And please, for god's sake, if you see something glaringly wrong, tell me about it! :)
