Special Agent Lucy Reynolds is searching for her missing sister in Atlanta. She'll do whatever it takes to find her, even if that means compromising the investigation of the sexy detective already on the case. Detective Kurt Milton doesn't play by rules when lives are at stake. He'll take the enigmatic agent with the conflict-of-interest along for the ride if it'll get him closer to the enemy... and to her. Will this untamed officer be Lucy's shield from the flames as they attempt to burn a sex-trafficking ring to the ground? Or will they both die, trying? **This novel was a Top Ten finalist in Harlequin's 2014 So You Think You Can Write competition.

When the sun goes down, the gravestone statues in Willow Hills Cemetery come to life--including Gretta. As a granite guardian of the dead, it's her job to make sure her charge--the snarky, hot-headed, lesbian spirit Quinn Rivera--crosses over and finds spiritual peace. But that's a little hard to do when Quinn's twin brother Jason blames himself for her premature death. And for Quinn to agree to cross over, he must learn the truth of her accidental passing and the bipolar episodes that led her to shut him out beforehand. But reaching out to the living is against the rules, and to break them would mean facing the most power-hungry and terrifying spirit of all: Death. *** Inspired by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘰 (but not a retelling), Willow Hills is a southern gothic story with paranormal/horror elements. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 (𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥) C/W: Gore, some violence, and light to moderate swearing. Neurodiverse and LGBT #ownvoice rep.

Matthias is a struggling writer finally able to move into his first solo apartment. He's thrilled to have a place free of roommates and siblings, even though the building is decrepit and is inhabited by an odd assortment of people including an intrusive neighbor, a little girl who wanders freely, and an overweight orange cat named Cheese. As Matthias settles in things begin getting stranger. Something vile is growing in the dark and it's coming from somewhere on the second floor... where Matthias happens to live. Author's note: this is me trying to get back to my roots: a character driven novella with horror elements. The story of people struggling against an inscrutable enemy, as well as the day to day trials of being poor in America. I have no idea how often I'll update or even exactly how this will all go down because y'girl is a panster. So strap in because this is the first draft and you all get to see it being born! Feel free to comment whatever comes to mind, and helpful critiques are always welcome.

For the past few weeks, Dipper has gotten little to no sleep. Ever since returning to the Mystery Shack, his dreams have been tormented by a certain dream demon... One day, a stranger arrives at the door of the Mystery Shack. Yellow and brown hair, a triangular eyepatch over one eye, a grin on his smug face, the stranger lets out a laugh. "Long time no see, Pine Tree!" Having somehow been trapped in human form, Bill Cipher makes a deal with Dipper... Bill drives Dipper to the brink of insanity with his violent humor and overall aggravating personality, but there's something there making it impossible for Dipper to deny him help, and it isn't just the deal they made... A/N: The style of Human Bill in this story is Life-Writer's style! So...yeah! Just so you know, and so I don't have to try and describe him!
