A Supernatural Thriller
A young girl discovers she is manifesting terrifying powers, especially the ability to enter and manipulate the minds of others. Targeted by an ancient family whose own powers are waning, she finds herself ripped from her normal life and imprisoned in a stone catacombs under an abandoned quarry.
There, she must confront the unknowable intentions of a creature whose own powers seem limitless, the deadly battle waged by his children for their father's affections, and the very real danger not only to her but to schoolmate swept into this conflict.
The worst part is, more frightening even than her circumstances, Maggie Stuart no longer feels human herself. What is she becoming, will she ever escape -- and when she can, will she still want to?

The Diva & The Dom
Four a.m. sucks. Fletcher Graves already knows insomnia is hell - but she didn't expect Hell to actually crash her living room. Her divine feline roommate Bast drags home a new "gift": a disturbingly gorgeous drag-clad man channeling Clint Eastwood and Marilyn Monroe. He's bleeding, twitching, and maybe dead. (Which, in this apartment, is not the worst-case scenario.) After CPR skills acquired from a demon-filled Groupon class bring him back, Fletcher's ready to collapse - until someone kicks in her door and all bets are off. Now she's juggling an injured stranger who might not be human, a cat with more secrets than nine lives, and neighbours from Hell who are literally from Hell. Toss in Greek gods, divine plumbing problems, and the world's most inconvenient attraction, and bedtime's officially canceled. A darkly comic fantasy of drag, demons, and divine disasters - because sometimes insomnia is the least of your problems.
