This is an adventure of the most grand design; everything included. ©OctaviaLocke 2016 Cover made by @brookemcx.

When Julia Bent imagined her play on the stage, Julie Abbey was not what she had in mind as the leading role. Sweet, smart and eggs served sunny-side-up kind of cheery: Julie is a far cry from Julia's bitter take on the world. So, no one could really blame her for despising the very ground her leading lady walks on. And no one could really blame Julie for threatening to quit instead of facing the wrath of her sour-faced director. But, with a theater scholarship on the line and the clock ticking towards opening night, this pair of opposites is stuck together for the long haul. That doesn't mean they have to like it. Two girls, one unconventional play, and A LOT of name mix up's: what could go wrong? Cover by: @Torch_

Agnes Allore's passions are simple: music, first and foremost, rules her heart. Second comes her best friend Daniel, a servant boy. As a girl, Agnes can do as she wishes; her beloved father indulges her willful spirit, and her troubled mother hardly pays her any mind at all. But as Agnes leaves her girlhood behind and becomes a young woman, she learns that dark secrets lurk beneath the surface of her influential family, and none of what she loves can go with her into the dark. --- Daniel Serran is a waif and a wanderer. When he and his disabled father come upon the Allore mansion, they expect to be turned away, but magnanimous Master Allore takes a chance on them. It's there that Daniel meets Agnes, the young lady of the house. Compared to her dazzling mother, Agnes is plain; compared to other women, she's rude and she's wild. But there is something about her that draws Daniel in, and he will never be the same. --- Plunge into a dark retelling of "The Little Mermaid," embellished with mermaid lore. In a world where men's greed knows no bounds, there are few happy endings.

Now, seven months after the fact, Thea has graduated and done everything in her power to forget about that day in October. As a former straight-A student with college ambitions, it came as a shock to her parents when she decided that she wanted to take a year off before going to college. For the first time in her life, she has no plans, no idea what she's supposed to do next, and as the summer looms ahead of her unceremoniously, there is one thing she's sure of: She's fine.

Calandra the mermaid gets caught up in a web of treasure-seeking pirates. This was supposed to be a vacation! Warning: non-graphic violence abounds and there are definitely feels here. Takes place in the setting of my fantasy world for "Bastian's Song", but it stands alone and you certainly don't need to have read one to understand the other. This was written for publication in the One Million Project: Fantasy Anthology of 2017 and will be available for purchase (I believe) in September/October of 2017 via Amazon. All proceeds from any purchases go towards charity and do not benefit the authors. [ Cover Artist: Hilary Simonson ]

Sixty orbits have passed since the faeries lost the Great War against the mortals and were pushed to the brink of extinction. Those that remain inhabit the Holókaustos, trapped by a curse, rotting away between this world and the next. That is, until a bastard halfling with something to prove concocts an escape plan involving a girl born of mortal blood and magic. ☆☆☆ A girl with a peculiar pedigree is dumped on a stranger's doorstep during the worst snowstorm the hamlet Myst has ever known. Selectively mute, she refuses to tell her hosts from whence she came and her name. For lack of knowing what else to do, the crotchety old woman and her grandson Mat grant her sanctuary and take to calling her Snow. But her very existence disrupts their daily lives. The mystery comes to a head when a dead man is discovered in the front yard after the first serious thaw. Strangers turned ragtag confidants, they dispose of the body. Orbits pass without incident, slackening their resolve to keep the girl their best-kept secret. When Mat introduces her to an old friend with his own dangerous secret, he threatens all they hold dear. The world's suddenly at their door, and it quickly becomes clear that Snow's meant for greater things. A story of loss, friendship and all the grit in between. #15 in fantasy | December 2018 #10 in adventure | December 2018 #4 in world building | December 2018 #1 in speculative fiction | December 2018 #2 in quest | September 2018 #3 in fairies | September 2018 #7 in scifi-fantasy | September 2018 #123 in new adult | August 2018 #183 in fairytale | August 2018 #2 in human experimentation | July 2018 First installment of an intended series.
