In 1960s England, two young women take a trip to the seaside. A short story, written for the Moral Fortitude project's third anthology: 'Perfect Timing'. (www.moralfortitude.com) It interested me to write about a time when relationships between women weren't formally recognised. (See the footnote for more on that...)

The day before her wedding, Destiny Jones decided to write a letter to her ex. The one that got away. Would writing about her past change her future? Or would she accept what was and move on?

Summertime in Chesterfield means two very different things for teenagers Tess Copeland and Maddie Lambert. For Tess, spending time with family and anticipating the annual Crush Festival goes hand-in-hand with the country air and the sweet smell of a cane fire. For Maddie, Chesterfield offers an escape from the demands of a reality that she's just unable to run from. This summer, however, there is one lit fire that's even harder to contain than the massive bonfires that characterise the town's summer spectacle, as young love and awakened passions smoulder in the shadows. Amidst the turmoil of growing up and the pressures of youth and fame, can these two young women navigate the precipices of adulthood unscathed? Will Maddie and Tess be able to overcome the secrets of a small town and save the beloved festival before it's too late?

What would you do if someone was to tell you that you are an alien? Would you feel upset? Surprised? Or perhaps scared? Well all of those would work, except the girl that received the news didn't exactly know who or what she was. Read her adventure as she learns to live, breathe, and be an alien while retaining her human side.

This is the completely rewritten second edition of Unbecoming Humans. It's bigger, it's gayer, it's everything the first edition deserved to be. Please note that this rewrite is currently in progress. The end of the current rewritten chapters will be marked. With civilization on the brink of collapse, Aria's parents built Eden to be the cradle of the next evolution of humanity, but survival at Eden is far from guaranteed. Aria has been little more than a puppet in her parents' games of genetic experimentation and control over the next iteration of humanity for almost as long as she can remember. When Aria meets Nima, the latest in a long line of victims lured to Eden by the promise of safety, a spark rekindles her cold heart. Aria can't sit idly by while Nima becomes her parents' next prey. The two must find a way to survive Eden's deadly experiments, or risk the greatest love they've ever known.

Orphaned by her mother's death, Riri Chance had no home to go to. That was until Uno, a celebrity previously handled by her mother, agreed to take her in. More than the enigma, the beauty, and the riches, there was something strange about Uno. Something that made Riri question her sexuality, her emotions, and more importantly, her sanity.

For the entire night, two strangers are stuck inside Shopaholics--one of the most popular chain of retail department stores. With only each other for company, what will the pair do to pass away the time? ***NOTE: This is more of a fluffy piece that does contain adult themes.

It's been Four years since Skai Mitchell ran away from home, leaving the girl she loved and the nightmarish childhood past behind. Skai's new life consists of multiple unreliable part-time jobs, and a handful of casual one-night stands, but when Skai stumbles across a book written by a familiar name, she makes a decision that will change her life forever.

Skai was the kind of person that did reckless things just to be able to say that she had done them. I was the kind of person who liked to stay at home, and just read about people like Skai. Adventure, recklessness, it was never really my thing. But, Skai was different, and I was intrigued. I never really understood how much I had been missing until I met her. This is a story about my newfound, crazy, reckless, life. And a story about the girl that dragged me through it.
