Following the tragic death of his mother in a terrible car accident, a loner, 17 year old boy, Darius, must go about his life living with his mother's twin in a different state. Darius must balance the loss of his mother, the emotional and mental trauma of being with her at the very moment of her death, and his emotionally unstable father who left Darius and his siblings to recover from the loss of his wife. The young teen falls into a deep depression after the loss of his mother and becomes lost in the weeks following her death. His only rays of happiness are his baby sister, Leyva and music, both of which still don't manage to make him any more happy than he has been since his loss. Soon after these tragic events, Darius meets a girl at the oddest of times named Bryn. Bryn soon becomes his largest shimmer of hope and happiness and pulls him out of his dark depression. She helps Darius over come his mother's death and find helpful ways to avoid falling back into the depression, which in turn opens up new career paths for him. Two months after the two meet and become friends, they then become a couple. Darius' life then takes a horrible turn yet again as Bryn falls severely ill. Darius stays with her for the months that follow the sickness that traps her. Darius soon must face the choice of moving on from yet another loss, or falling back into the depression he had found after his mother's death.

A Gift in the Dark is a compilation of short works, many based around old myths and legends, and starts with a tale of a miner's descent into madness, history and legend, drifts through darkness, past a retelling of Red Riding Hood, up a crane, and along to the end of the world.

Stalked by a handsome fairy who claims she is like him, demonkind, she thinks maybe it was a mistake breaking the rules by going over the Wall into demon territory. Plunged into a world of dark magics, fierce creatures, and ritual sacrifice, she is charged with a guarding a magical amulet. The changes to her mind and body are startling, but rather than accept her purpose she struggles against who she is destined to be. Throw in a big lust for a vampire who can't keep his hands off her, and life starts to get complicated. Rae is forced to make the ultimate choice: to live and die human, or embrace her birth-right and wield magics that could turn her into something wicked, a force of nature nothing can control. (Previously titled Demon Girl).
