[WATTYS WINNER 2022] What's it like to have everything you ever wanted? To be utterly, ridiculously, completely HAPPY? Pretty worrying, actually. *** In this Watty Winning (!!) standalone sequel to "All Good Things", we visit Alice, her family and friends at the All Good Things cafe. A lot has changed in 5 years. Her marriage is back on track and steamier than ever... at least when there isn't a kid within earshot. Fortunately, the youngest is in the smelly grip of puberty himself and just wants to be alone. Their daughter, the entrepreneurial prodigy, went off to university only to return disillusioned by life, love and Kierkegaard. Good thing the cafe is still afloat... just about. It's hard to make ends meet when you're trying to change the world, one plant-based latte at a time! Just as things are starting to look a little dire, Alice becomes an unwitting TikTok sensation and kids all over the city start copying her moves. Now, a corporate chain wants a piece of the action and Alice will have to decide whether she can stomach a return to the soul-suck of corporate life in order to keep her dream alive. [[70,000 words]]

Nothing good comes knocking in the early hours of the morning. Mara Swift knows this, so why she bothered to answer the door only the Depths could tell. But she did, and now her husband is dead, her home is a pile of ash, her life is in danger, and the only way to safety is a long, treacherous route that she couldn't even point to on a map. Her guide on this treacherous route is her husband's friend and fellow rebel, Eli. All Mara knows of Eli is that her husband trusted him--hardly a ringing endorsement considering Davy's abrupt and violent departure from the mortal plane. But the wife of a dead, uncovered undercover rebel can't be picky about allies. Mara is grieving, Eli is keeping secrets, and neither makes for particularly good company. But shared suffering leads to mutual understanding, mutual understanding blossoms into reluctant friendship, and reluctant friendship? Only time can tell what comes of that.

Unable to control the elements or shift into birds of prey, Sana Lightbourne is a scab on her noble family's legacy. They cast her out to marry Lord Rhyel, the cold, fearsome ruler of House Darcanos. If the northern tyrant doesn't kill her for being useless, whatever lurks within his northern shadows will. While the Alpha wolf of Darcanos craves a true mate, he doesn't need another meaningless betrothal, especially not to a daughter from the overzealous House Lightbourne. Meeting Sana in the clutches of a golem, Rhyel's plagued with an unusual yearning to protect the scrawny, malnourished woman. When Sana becomes the chosen soul of a powerful ancient moth, she may not be as ungifted as she or her family believes. As Sana and Rhyel's relationship blooms and her gifts awaken, they attract the attention of House Darcanos' rival, House Issian-igniting a centuries-old feud between the wolves, the chimera, and the wraiths living in the beyond eager to consume her soul. ******* Highest Ranking #3 in Shifter #3 in Romantasy #4 in Interracial
