Yi Jung is living it up in Sweden, Gu Jun Pyo has Shinhwa Group and Geum Jan-di, and even Ji-Hoo has embraced his destiny as a physician. Everyone is moving up and moving on, except for Woo Bin. His place has always been in Seoul- in the darkness, in the filth, on the streets. He's been content to sit back and accept what has been coming his way until a chance meeting with the delightful Chu Ga-Eul shakes him awake. He'll take control of the business, his life, and forge a new family all on his own.

#1 romance fantasy #1Dragonlove, #2 Paranormal Romance highest rankings. Awards: Short list of Writers Recognition Awards Dark humor, justice, and love in the streets of New Orleans. Alex trawls the streets and alleys of New Orleans for pushers, pimps, and johns to beat senseless and leave naked in alleys. It's her revenge against the rapist stalking her. Morgan told her that he rescued her from the government agency that experimented on her and that she belongs to him. He had proven painfully to her that her new powers don't work against him. She escaped and her rage now falls on the others of his kind. Her goal is simple: take down the bad guys with her fun neuro-electric powers and snarky humor until one of them finally kills her. When she interrupts a mugging, she realizes that she's rescued a humanoid dragon from his hunters. But are his hunters the same one chasing her? The ones racing against Morgan to find her? Can this dragon and his brothers save her from her course of self-destruction? Or will they be dragged down her spiral of revenge and dark humor ? Note to reader : This book is not set in modern day New Orleans. This is a mixture of the New Orleans of my childhood, the New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina, and part fantasy. After Katrina, I needed some fantasy about New Orleans as well. Insert here the usual legal warnings about copyright and that this work belongs to me, and I will prosecute for any unauthorized reproduction, theft, etc. I have a law firm on retainer: truth. Also any resemblance to actual people or characters is unintended. Thanks to @cocosghost for my new cover!

Book 1 of the series Tales of Strangeness and Charm Three mismatched adventurers set out on a journey that will prove to be far longer and stranger than any of them could possibly anticipate. Driven by a shared interest in an enigmatic device from beyond their world, their quest will forge and test friendships; encounter terrible foes and likely lead to rather a lot of whinging. Do not make the mistake of thinking that this is merely a children's book. It might appear to hold a simple, facile tale of foolish phantasmagoria, but appearances can be deceptive. Follow this story: To Witness Feats of Daring Do, and Quite a Few of Daring Don't The quest is important, except when it isn't, which is often. Despite frequent digressions into philosophical quandaries, unplanned doilies, and fights with fowl, there's sometimes still a faint glimmer of something important happening. This blend of action and absurdity offers readers a mix of excitement and humor. To Read Tales Layered Like a Palimpsest of Madness Each story is written over another, creating layers of hidden meanings that beg to be uncovered. This aspect appeals to readers who enjoy complex narratives that reveal new details upon rereading, adding depth to the experience. Because Grimmbros Is the Hero You Never Knew You Needed Follow Grimmbros as his finely tailored yellow tweed suit with an orange twill running through it gradually falls apart along with his patience with halflings. This characterization provides a relatable hero who embodies charm and frustration, engaging readers with his journey and growth.

"Your name is irrelevant, you are purely the daughter of a Zicoto...". In a world torn by sorcery and myths, four kingdoms sit with a deep hatred for the other. Male dominance and pride rules most lands and although women- like the men, serve their Emperor's in battle, they are seen as inadequate. Raven haired Nukula Zicoto is the daughter of recently deceased Server Yula and stricken Talabashi, who sets out to serve in her Mother's place to finish her commitments, before stumbling upon some hard truths. The Emperor of the land is as feared. He has no remorse for her loss or love for her people. Nukula knows she must lead her fellow Zicotos in the right direction and rid the Emperor of his throne, if they are to live in freedom and peace. Nukula knows the promised land the Emperor has proposed is far from near with the ill-fated ideologies that exist. She knows being a daughter in the land of men she has no power but enemy tribe Uta have already killed thousands of Zicotos through the years; of recent her beloved Mother, who she sets out to avenge. But her enemies are all not what she hoped to be and the land of Zicoto are not the only ones who seek justice and change. How Nukula Zicoto prospers is a journey no soul should miss.
