In Celtic myth, honeybees were regarded as having great wisdom and acted as messengers between worlds, able to travel to the Otherworld, bringing back messages from the gods. "Telling the bees" may be a throwback to the idea of keeping the gods informed of human affairs. "You must treat them as you would a member of your own family," Isaac's mother, an apiarist, would often say. Although, she preferred the term "beekeeper." She'd been ridiculously serious about her beekeeping duties, claiming she must keep the family bee-usiness alive. Yeah, Isaac thought the pun was overdone aswell. But when his mother dies an unexpected death, 13 year old Isaac is plagued with the guilt that somehow he's the one to blame. However, he'd like to think the blame is equally divided between himself and the bees. cover by @katherinewitherspoon

A girl who has always wanted to be a mermaid. Until one day she drank her fathers potion and became one. What happens when her sister thinks she's dead and follows her footsteps into the depths of the ocean?

It's 2075 and Earth is quickly disintegrating. There are less than three years of inhabitable air left for both humans and Sciusians, refugee aliens. Officials are quickly unveiling their evacuation process called the "dyeing process". Because the dyeing process can't evacuate everyone, earning a dyeing spot becomes like winning a lottery. Sciusians and humans are allowed to have relationships, though, hybrid offspring were thought to be impossible....until now. A handful of these hybrids are relocated to a Sciusian owned island, where they are told they can earn a dyeing spot by performing, although it's unclear what that really means. Aya Thrasher is a seventeen-year-old from a broken home in a poverty-ridden suburb of what used to be Boston. She's creative but very self-conscious. After being relocated, she must deal with the pressure the performance brings. To top it off, she's caught between two potential love interests, brave but slightly geeky, Brennan, and wealthy and gorgeous, Trevor. Aya must also come to terms with her newly endowed gift - her dreams. Rayne Marovic is almost eighteen and comes from a small town, which she absolutely loathes. After a botched robbery, she serves a stint in prison, until she also ends up relocating to the island. Rayne is a hothead who must learn to deal with her temper, especially when she starts to discover her telekinetic abilities. Aya, Rayne, and the other hybrids must band together to defeat an insidious threat and learn the true meaning of the performance. - - - - - - EDITING - - - - - -
