Never swallow your gum. Jerry, an avid partier and good time haver, suddenly has his actions come back to haunt him as he wakes up to find something unnervingly wrong with his body. Throughout his life, Jerry had convinced himself that he was invincible, rarely getting sick, never breaking a bone, yet when things suddenly changed, the hardest call he ever made was requesting an ambulance. Thinking he could just sleep the pain off, he didn't expect to be nearly paralyzed when he woke up. Embarrassed, being found the way he was, little could he ever imagine the discoveries that'd soon be made. As questions surface about Jerry's condition, the discoveries that follow and dark secrets from the past resurface from unlikely places. No one could've imagined something pink, gelatinous, and referred to as Gary Gumball could ever exist, let alone be alive, as the seven-year rumours about gum stop seeming so far-fetched.

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.
