    Cooper is a 25-year-old sailor who lives on and isolated island with his great Dane, Levi, and his old but loyal companion, Bennett. The past three years of Cooper's life have been calming, filled with sailing around the island and telling stories around the campfire, but Cooper can't help but feel like his life is wasting away-he's not living his life to the fullest. But Cooper thinks he should be grateful for the life he has; not everyone can afford to live a life like his. And he is grateful, but...is there something he's missing? On a regular summer morning in 2003, he goes outside his cottage to greet Bennett and admire the sunrise, and he spots a yellow speed boat in the distance speeding towards their island. It crashes into their dock, sending wood and dust everywhere. That's when Cooper meets Harper, a free-spirited, 23 year old woman who wants to explore the world. Join Cooper and Harper's journey as they navigate their relationship and explore the island! Theme songs: ORANGE and YELLOW by Violin Guy

    It's the year 2342. Technology has greatly advanced. Artificial Intelligence is no longer limited to mere computers, or cellphones, or programs. Artificial Intelligence now walks among humans, in the form of androids, robots, self-driving cars, this and that, and the like. Technology is almost at its peak. Hospitals equipped with these technologies can bring people from the verge of death. Schools equipped with these technologies can make physics seem like basic arithmetic. Even the law itself now has access to these technologies, and ever since, the crime rates have dropped significantly. The lives of Kara, Kazimir and K80 are unexpectedly changed when they discover a glitch in the system - and the potential impending cataclysm that could wipe out the entire human race.

    Johnny and Kimi are two young lovers who are the only witnesses to a gangland hit. One early summer afternoon, they ride their motorcycles to the lake to be alone together. Later that evening; before they know it, they are witnesses to a brutal double murder. They watch the killers weigh the bodies down and dump them in the lake. Two nights later, Johnny and Kimi are running from the burning wreckage of the Safe House the FBI had put them in. To stay alive, they will have to go Off the Grid and find a way to take down the killers. All they have are their wits and the clothes on their backs. They can't trust anyone! Kimi is 19 and taking computer science classes and is already an expert; more so than most of her instructors. Her best friend and lover; Johnny is 22 and a talented motorcycle mechanic. He is taking automotive engineering and business classes so he can eventually take over his father's motorcycle shop. They were High School sweethearts and have been inseparable for over five years. ...He immediately notices the smell of gas. He dashes to Kimi's room and shouts. "We gotta' get out of here!" He takes her hand and they dash out the back door and into the woods. They get about 100 yards and then stop; just then the house explodes a huge fireball and burns fiercely. They both look at each other in shock. "What do we do now?" asks a terrified Kimi. "I'm not sure, but I know that we can't trust anyone right now! He points deeper the woods and says. "We'll talk later and get a plan, but for now we put some distance between us and the killers..."

    (This is an attempt at maybe doing the 30 day challenge. I haven't pledged yet, so I guess it'll be 'off the grid.') Sierramon and Sage, newly weds, take a trip to an abandoned cabin where the is no immediate access to electricity, phones, or other spices (people). Even though no one should be around, there is still the eerie feeling of something--or someone--creeping about the cabin. Is it just their imagination, or is there something afoot that neither of them anticipates?

But when your car died at a dusty diner in the middle of nowhere-and a girl with stitches for a smile offered you a job-you figured you had nothing to lose. Now you're working the graveyard shift at the Dead-End Diner. A 24/7 roadside stop for the strange, the cursed, and the downright homicidal. They come from all over: Slasher legends, vengeful ghosts, masked maniacs, and demons with a thing for waffles. They're hungry, bloody, and weirdly polite-as long as you keep the coffee hot and the fries crispy. You're underpaid, overstressed, and definitely underqualified. But they think you're one of them. So you smile. You serve. You survive. Because the moment they realize you're just human? You're next on the menu.

    Serenity Death was never meant to be normal. Raised in a pristine suburb with conservative parents and four perfectly programmed siblings, she always felt like a glitch in the system. Paranoid, erratic, and fiercely idealistic, Serenity quits college, donates her life savings to an ocean charity, and disappears to a deserted island in Sulani. No power. No plumbing. No plan. Just a mailbox, a mission, and a mind full of static. The Death of Normal is a comedy survival saga about one woman's quest to live off the grid, escape the simulation, and maybe, just maybe, find peace in the chaos. * Mature themes maybe. Coconut drama. Frog feasts. Volcano therapy. *

    This is a story that I randomly had an inspiration for.. it will start off all cute and cuddly and then somewhere in the plot it's going to take a very dark turn.. mwahaaa. __________________________ This story take place in North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, when a young widowed woman decides to pursue an off grid way of life, with her infant daughter and small dog. Grieving the loss of her dead husband, she decides to live out his dreams and dive head first into the life they so desperately wanted to live together. However.. An older gentleman who happens to be the young widowed woman's neighbor, takes a sudden interest in the young woman who apparently has casted away the world, much like himself in various ways. Intrigued, and dealing with a similar grief.. the man soon decides to try and become friends with her. No matter how hard she fights him or declines his help.. he will inevitably become suffocatingly close until there is no escape from his presence and there needs. Take a chance, or take a hike.. either way I'll still be writing for our enjoyment.πŸ’š

    The Accordance has put into place a new society. A new way of life and with that new life comes many rules; rules that are to be abided by, or else. Rowan and Asher are only two of the Strays (those who choose not to conform). As the leader, Rowan- with the help of Asher and a strange man-must keep the camp safe from the Peacekeepers. Constant running and hiding are the new normal as Strays are given the choice (once captured) to conform or be put to death as an example. Ledger Cross. He will stop at nothing to get rid of every last Stray until all people give in to his new order. Why he has hatred in his heart for the Strays.. your guess is as good as anyones. Will Rowan and Asher be able to keep the camp safe? Who can stop Ledger Cross, or better yet, can anyone convince the people of his motives? Will stress and tragedy weaken the bond of these three? Or, perhaps, will they be their own downfall?

    When Jamie Keller's father is killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb, her mother decides to combat the financial and emotional stress by moving the family from Hamilton, Ohio to the rural town of Promise, Oregon. Fourteen-year-old Jamie narrates the tale of the journey, intermingling descriptions of family dynamics with her own personal philosophy of life. The victims of Jamie's scrutiny include: older sister Jenny, who listens to praise music and wears a WWJD bracelet; younger brother Jake, contained and brainy, with know-it-all tendencies; and little sister Jana, lover of animals and sometimes the comic relief. In Reno, Nevada, the mystery begins when Jamie's mother fails to pick the kids up at the mall as had been previously arranged. After waiting for hours in the blazing heat, brother Jake finally goes in search of his mom only to return with an amazing story. He has located the car, and everything in it is intact (including the family's pet cats), but Mrs. Keller is nowhere to be found. Intensive searching proves futile. Their mother has vanished! Nervous about becoming wards of the state of Nevada, and fearful of being put in separate foster homes, the Keller kids decide to avoid authority, choosing instead to take the gamble, and continue on to Promise, Oregon. On the way into town, a giant JESUS banner is the first sign that Promise is in a bible belt. Jenny is thrilled, Jamie, not so. Upon arriving at the ranch, the Kellers are met with further disappointment when they discover that the 'ranch' is nothing more than an old trailer, situated off the grid. Readers relate to the characters in Off the Grid, Over the Edge and In the Groove. The Jamie Keller Mystery Series can be read out of order but it’s much better to start at the beginning. http://www.amazon.com/Jamie-Keller-Mystery-Series-ebook/dp/B00D30AVHG
