When, one day, the world just suddenly ends, Em stumbles into the nothing, an empty void that lies beneath the surface of reality, the sole occupants of which are malevolent shadow beings called glowdarks. Only a select number of individuals possess the ability to peel their way into new worlds; they are the rippers. Em is one of them. He can sense the "rips" scattered throughout each dimension and use them to peel through to the next world. Em and his group of survivors peel through world after world, battling glowdarks, zombies, and even gods in their quest to find a safe haven in a post-apocalyptic multiverse.

It's early summer, and in a small community on the central Jersey Shore, a black car screeches to a halt outside the Wright Bros grocery. Danny looks up from where he's working at the carwash to see the driver rifle out of the car and chase a girl rushing into the store. For some reason-fate perhaps or intuition-he decides to cross the lot and investigate. When he meets Mary, there is a great deal Danny doesn't know, but he certainly knows that he's been struck. For it's like the keys to an old car had been dropped into his hands and is about to start the engine that will forever alter the outcome of their lives. Some Place Better Than Here is a gritty, unflinching look at how we define family and come to grips with loss. It's about growing up in a small town, following your dreams, and mapping out the uneven ground that often lays between love, friendship, and sexual awakening.

In a world beset by toxic miasma and wandering monsters, humanity fights for survival by harnessing the protective power of myrrh, a healing liquid produced by five myrrh trees scattered throughout the land. Curt, a young man newly turned 21 and eager for adventure, sets out with the other members of his village's crystal caravan to collect the myrrh necessary to protect his hometown for the coming year. What begins as a routine journey quickly becomes a novel-sized quest as Curt and his friends find themselves caught in the middle of political intrigue and a dark new menace. Cry of the Lost is a fanfiction novel that takes place in a world loosely based on the original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles video game, with additional elements added from the Final Fantasy video game series in general. The book cover art was created by me as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my novel! I hope you enjoy it!

"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.
