Wat als je ontzettend rijk bent, maar je mag het aan niemand vertellen? Dit overkomt Fay als haar ouders na jaren terugkomen uit Amerika, waar ze experimenten hebben gedaan die strikt geheim zijn. Experimenten die het daglicht niet kunnen verdragen.. In ruil voor hun zwijgplicht hebben zij miljoenen euro's gekregen, die ze vrij mogen besteden. Fay moet na jaren bij haar tante te hebben gewoond weer intrekken bij haar ouders, veranderen van school en nieuwe vrienden proberen te maken. Dat laatste gaat echter nogal moeilijk als niemand mag weten dat je in een enorm landhuis woont en over een zwembad, inloopkast en eigen badkamer beschikt. Zal het Fay lukken zich aan te passen aan haar nieuwe levensstijl? Kan ze nieuwe vrienden maken zonder te verklappen wie ze écht is en bovenal, zal ze het geheim achter het geld van hun ouders kunnen ontrafelen?

Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation around—and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in . . . for six months out of the year. On alternating months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron prison system. Once their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their "civilian" homes. At first, this doesn't seem like too much of a sacrifice to make in order to have a roof over one's head and food to eat. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who lives in their house during the months when she and Stan are in the prison, a series of troubling events unfolds, putting Stan's life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled. Keep reading and be sure to enter The Heart Goes Last Fiction contest!

Jules is a young man barely a century old. He's lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies...and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World. Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long-ago twentieth century. Now in the keeping of a network of "ad-hocs" who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest high-tech touches. Now, though, the "ad hocs" are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of the Presidents, and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive direct-to-brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself. Worse: it appears this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (It's only his fourth death and revival, after all.) Now it's war...
