Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered "dogless sled" in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father's alchemical masterpiece. With her modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn't normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won't assist her--they're too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled. When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she's sure he has ulterior motives, but he's the only one interested in helping her. The question is...why? Flash Gold is the first in a series of steampunk novellas.

An adventure/fantasy/romance told from three perspectives. Jake Hendrix leads a perfect life-- that is, until he is whisked away to a fantastical world full of magic and power-hungry werewolves by the girl of his dreams. Samarie longs for adventure, and the chance to prove that she is more than a pretty face. She and Jake fight imps, sphinxes, dragons, and a number of other creatures in their quest to stop said evil power-hungry werewoYlf from taking over Earth. In the meantime, would-be fiancée Raiquen moans about his failure as a son to the leader of the magical world, and his failure to marry Samarie when he had the chance. Please read and enjoy! This is still in the editing stage, and I would much appreciate any constructive criticism or suggestions you may have. Thanks! *Cover by LoveYourselfLikeIDo. Don't you love it? I do :)
