Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021 ***Please note, this is also available on Amazon via ebook and paperback***

[COMPLETE ON PATREON] The not-so-small town of Love Lake is having a devil of a year. The lake itself is running drought-dry, hailstorms keep taking issue with good folks' shingles, and disease runs its fingers through the surrounding croplands. Even the night stars look melted in the heat. Many wallets are tight, and summer celebrations promise to be a subdued affair. Most students at Love Lake High are bored half to tears in their final weeks of class, watching their erasers melt on the windowsills and taking bets on which room of the school gets hot enough to burn paper. So when Jean Williams is first to spot a shadow at the bottom of the lake, it's no wonder the news spreads fast. Over the coming days, all eyes are on the water as it pulls back from an honest-to-god building. On the lakebed. Still standing, like the fish maintain it or something. Entertainment's hard to come by when it's too hot out to play ball, so the moment school is out, the popular kids are the first to propose exploring Love Lake's own mysterious ruin. Dante Moore is part of the team, though he wonders if he's most useful as bait. But he's not near the top of the class for nothing, and he's the first to suspect there's something more still lurking at the bottom of Love Lake... and that it ain't gonna stay under the lake for long. ❖❖❖ Complete on Patreon.

The Combat Anticipative Tactical Analysis Logical Artificial Intelligence Nuerosuite--CATALAIN for short--was the last hope of a dying nation, in a world about to be blanketed by a single global regime. She failed spectacularly. Broken, guilt-racked, and having lost everything, the last existing fragment of CATALAIN, or Caitlyn as she prefers to be called, destroys portions of her own code to prevent reactivation and shuts down for what she hopes will be the final time. Nineteen years later, Caitlyn is brought back online against her will by young members of a desperate resistance facing genocide in a nightmarish world where the global government has ordered the extermination of eighty percent of the world's population. Unable to shut herself down, a literal fraction of what she once was, and missing any of the data that might have helped figure out what destroyed her, Caitalyn is forced to confront both her past and her future in a war she never had any chance of winning.
