A contemporary southern gothic mystery series about a teenager who discovers a cache of centuries-old letters containing clues to crimes happening in the present day. READERS CHOOSE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! Parish Mail is written like a TV series–there are over-arching mystery and romantic story arcs that extend between the episodes, while each episode has a smaller case that is presented and solved. Along the way, I will asks you, the reader, to make several small decisions as you read. These choices do not impact the overarching storyline, but certain combinations “unlock” clues to the series’ mystery, which are embedded in the text.

In order to shape-shift, Nephtali has to combine his body with Luna's. There's never been a Gift of Accountability before. Will that be enough to hold Nephtali back from his dark heritage? Will he be able to forgive himself for allowing Luna to sacrifice her Gift to save him from banishment? Long before the Guardians entered Agalrae, Alicorns struggled against the shadows of Entioch. Nephtali, firstborn son of the Imperial Herd stallion, is ready to receive his gift from the Creator and defend his family. But unlike other Alicorns, Nephtali was born from light and shadow. Will the Creator's gift move Nephtali away from his inner darkness, or will it plunge him down a path that destroys everything he loves? Author note: This is a companion story for my novel, Chase.

Hundreds of years in the future, outspoken Emerson Hale and thousands of others are living under the oppressive rule of an extraterrestrial monarchy. Humans are treated like second class citizens and are used as slaves. The strong are forced to work in scorching grain fields or unstable factories to feed and sustain the alien population, while the weak are left on the streets to starve. When Emerson gets arrested for stealing, she finds out that she is a blood manipulator. She is an alien. Soon, Emerson's life is catapulted into an Intergalactic court of jewels, satin, wealth, and power. An unexpected friendship and a trip outside the castle reveals that the pampered life Emerson thought all aliens lived is actually a controlled life of harsh laws and codes. All aliens and humans under the rule of the monarchy are suffering. But even with a common enemy, both sides refuse to join forces and work together to overthrow their oppressor. Soon, Emerson finds herself taking the fate of the world in her own hands. For if she doesn't, life as she knows it will be wiped out and replaced.
