Alena and Emile were college sweethearts. After graduation, they started their career, made their success and got married. Is this the "happily ever after" ending then? There wouldn't be a story if that was how it went. As they grew into parenthood, ran into career challenges and other stressful events in lives, could they deal with them as a couple? Or did those storm-like problems pull them apart? This is a story about faith, hope and love.

Genevieve can't tell if her soulmate is a transcendentalist author who died one hundred and fifty years ago, or the person who is leaving his books for her to find.

Can a natural killer learn to be human again? Regan's unique talent for murder makes her a perfect assassin. After a lethal encounter leaves her broken body washed up on a beach, she finds herself adopted by a group of teenage bodyguards. She doesn't intend to stay for long, but soon Regan finds herself faced with a choice: become a hero or stay a villain? *** The boy played with the flat brim of the cap in his hands and looked around the room. He sat back in his chair, trying to look casual, but the heel of his hi-top sneaker drummed rapidly on the concrete floor. Regan sat opposite him with her legs crossed and her hands folded on her tartan skirt. She watched him without a word and brushed a strand of blue-dyed hair behind her ear. Somehow this seemed to unsettle him more. 'Calm down,' she said. 'It's just murder.' *** Author's Note: Darkness Girl: Trickster God is represented by Louise Fury from The Bent Agency. P.S. The epic cover was made by Paul Kopetko (you can stalk him at paulkopetko.com). Enjoy!

"I'm sorry Jo. The cancer has spread. You're not going to make it past seventeen." That was the news that Jo Kelly had been waiting to hear since she turned twelve. But still, that didn't stop her from crying. She didn't want to die, who would? There's too many things that need to be done. So many things that need to be said. So many things that the seventeen year old needs. She hadn't even a friend to her name because she was always the 'outcast' and the 'girl with no hair'. That was, until, a certain cheery faced girl popped her head around her hospital door with two books and a plan. A plan on how to cheat and not let death think that she hadn't lived yet. She had to be strong and open. And it involved Jo. Abi tells Jo she has two choices in life, and that she has to pick. She can choose to sit at home in bed, crying and asking god why her until she dies, or she can do so many things she would have wanted to do, but fit them into the 50 days she has left. But the thing is, Abi only has half of them days to do what she wants. Will they live to the fullest or die a 'could have'? So, let the Bucket List begin! ~ Chloe Lumb <3

A collection of shorts: one-pagers, vignettes, rants, poems, micro-shorts, etc. Pretty much anything that I don't think is long enough to be worth being its own book. I'm always interested to see how people interpret what I've written, so if you can, I'd deeply appreciate it if you'd leave a comment on any piece in this collection telling me: 1. If you understand it (so if it's not too abstract/vague), 2. What you think it means, 3. If it actually made you think, 4. How you think I could improve, and 5. Any other comments you have about it.

"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"
