Parker was just a dime a dozen in the city that never sleeps. He works hard, strolls about the park, and is about the only one in New York city who would rather eat the pizza crust than the toppings. But life for him is about to change when a little bit of inspiration falls from the sky... [Dedicated to the Cerulean Warbler, a threatened bird]

Sirens don’t fall in love with humans. For centuries it has been so… But Sirena is different. She lost her first love to sharks and a storm, cursing the islands that stole him from her. Times have changed and she must swim ashore once more, to the islands she once cursed. Gone are the boats powered by sail and steam – jet boats with GPS are now the order of the day. Enter Joe, the deckhand on the Dolphin. A handy man to have around when the lights go out. He’ll fix your generator and have the lights back on in no time, no worries. But can he seduce a siren? Or will she swim away before he can uncover her secret? A book about lobsters, beer and boobs, on some cursed islands off the coast of Western Australia. At least, that's how Joe tells it. For Sirena, it's a very different story. You'll never look at mermaids the same way again. ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> Author's Note: Ocean's Gift is a complete novel, which was published as an ebook in December 2012.

This is the story of a boy named Jesse who wishes he was a bird. Well, on a very glorious night he got his wish only to find out being a bird is not cool then he thought it would be. He had to escape sorts of trouble like from the bird catchers to hungry predators. Worst of all he has no way of communicating with his family or friends. Is Mark going to find a way out of his wish or is he going to be stuck as a bird. All stories have a happy ending right.

A poem for participation in the Birdlife Campaign.

Have you ever wondered if you are crazy? What if everyone else in the entire town thought you were? What if there was only one way to prove your sanity, but it meant your guaranteed death? Would you still spill your secrets? In 1727 Bermuda there was a fine line between the crazies, the drunks, the zealots, the pirates, the witches and... everyone else. Susannah and Benjamin Bowen have always lived quiet lives as outcasts on the other side of the island from the townsfolk, but they are about to be thrown into the spotlight, caught in a whirlwind of jealousy, revenge, and magic.

It's a story of a struggling bird with ambitious
