CW: depression, suicide
Akiko never breaks a promise. With no friends, her life destroyed by a past she can't even mention, and with spiraling depression and alcoholism, it's all she can hold on to. And when a classmate comes to her door asking her to join him in the blossoming robotics show business of 2034 Japan, it's the last thing she'll accept: she's promised her mother she'll become an accountant.
But when a whirlwind romance with a robotics agent makes her feel things she hasn't in years, she'll put everything on the line for one more chance to have her--and when she ends up with two conflicting promises, the only thing she lives for is at stake.

A Series of Embarrassing Monsters
Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline grows up near a disused theme park where ballet is taught from the ballroom of a crumbling castle. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Early experiences quash her dreams of becoming a writer, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from her smart-ass competitor, Miskomin. On her rise from mediocrity, Evangeline is thrilled when Magda, the artistic director of a contemporary dance company in need of a sixth dancer, lays claim to the park. But things go awry as Magda attempts to rewrite Evangeline's entire world. To further complicate things, Evangeline's sporadic forays into story writing bring her inner demons to life. Literally. While contending with her monstrous off-spring; navigating an ever-shifting relationship with her frenemy, Miskomin; and adjusting to life under the power of a vampiric task-master, Evangeline gains the self-knowledge and confidence she needs to face the final boss: Herself. She must learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is. *A Series of Embarrassing Monsters is a solid first draft which will eventually be replaced by a stronger, more concise manuscript.*Complete

A Place That Holds Us
Quinn's job is to observe dying simulations. Digital worlds on the brink of collapse. She's not supposed to get involved. Not supposed to feel anything. But then she meets Ksenia. Smart, grounded, and entirely unforgettable, Ksenia is unlike anyone Quinn's ever encountered. She's also not real. At least, that's what Quinn keeps telling herself. But as deletion looms, Quinn finds herself pulled back to Ksenia's quiet village again and again-drawn in by their conversations, their laughter, and the connection she swore she'd never let happen. With time running out and lines blurring between virtual and reality, Quinn is faced with an impossible question: What do you do when the person who makes you feel most alive, technically doesn't exist?Complete
They Say Opposites Attract
"They say opposites attract," but this is ridiculous! Sumiko Areko is a girl with a past. And not just any past. After having transferred to every school in the city at least once, she arrives at the school without a voice. And not in the way most people would think. In Sumiko's case, she has no voice. This was due to a surgical removing of her vocal cords after they were almost fatally damaged. After being bullied constantly for being mute, she meets some people. People who change the course of her life. For better. Or worse.

Resurrection of the Fallout - WLW
Short Preview: Her breath hitched as she looked up, her gaze finding Remi's face in the candlelight. The soft glow brushed against her cheekbones and lines of her scars. Nova's heart clenched, her throat tight as realization washed over her. Nova didn't see Remi as something small or distant. No, Remi felt infinite. Endless. She wasn't the moon in the sky. Or the stars. Remi was the whole damn galaxy. . . . In 2074, a catastrophic A.I. failure shattered the world. Cities crumbled, nations vanished, and what remained of the United States retreated beneath a single fortified Dome-humanity's last sanctuary. By 2242, life inside the Dome is rigid, monitored, and suffocating. Beyond its walls lies a mutated wasteland where nothing survives for long. Each year, twenty-five citizens are chosen and sent outside. None have ever returned. But this year, the Dome's perfect lies begin to crack. The Chosen are about to uncover a world far more dangerous-and far more alive-than they were ever allowed to believe. Out there, truth is poison, loyalty breaks easily, and love can become the most lethal weapon of all. Because once you step beyond the Dome, survival isn't guaranteed. And neither is who you become. . . . (This story contains a wlw/gxg/lesbian love story. It is a slow burn, but I promise that it's epic!) #1 under #wasteland 10/17/25Complete
