Dollar Finch is one of the Fae, another sly, money-hungry no-gooder. When he is offered the chance to rob the Lady North and steal all her good fortune for himself, he doesn't think twice but to accept the offer. After all, what humility is left in a cast-away such as himself, abandoned by his clan and left on the sidewalk for the hawks?
A good amount apparently. For some reason, there is now a bounty on his head and a trail of golden eggs in his wake. They just can't seem to stop popping out of him..

Golden Arrow
Robin is just like any other teenage girl. She loves to run, hang with her friends, and is obsessed with her cell phone. Oh, and she's known by her city as The Hood, the mysterious figure that takes down those that are corrupt and wealthy with the help of her merry men - her three computer genius friends that are expert hackers. Her current target? Richard Sherwood, CEO of Sherwood Innovations. He has a net worth of multiple billions (exact amount unknown) and has been grooming his son to be the heir to his empire. Oh, and he happens to be involved in the death of Robin's parents and the disappearance of countless other innocents in the city. So, what's a girl to do? Stand back and watch a selfish, malevolent man take down the city with his bare hands? No. She's going to steal from the rich and give back to the poor, of course. But even though she has her secret weapon, Golden Arrow, and her tech savvy best friends, stealing from the most powerful man in the city from his Sherwood Tower office building is much easier said than done. *** This is my entry for the Once Upon Now, Target//Wattpad Contest.

Dragonfire: A Gulliver Swift Adventure
Gulliver Swift is-was-an archeologist-adventurer who traveled the world in search of lost tombs, temples, and treasure. But his last expedition was attacked by a tribe of feathered fire-breathing monsters out of the Cretaceous. His financial backer was killed. The legendary artifact they'd come to find was left behind along with the evidence of its discovery. His story debunked, Swift became a pariah reduced to teaching Archeology 101 to freshmen. It is now 22 years later. And the serial killer suddenly terrorizing New York City may be one of those monsters. The Police Commissioner wants Gulliver's help. And he wants no part of it. What he saw on the island was the figment of a fevered imagination cracking under pressure-but does a figment leave a trail of charred bodies torn apart by what could only be non-human hands? It is only when the beast strikes too close to home that Swift is forced to wonder whether he could have been right in the first place. If he was-is-how did it get here? Or, rather, who could have brought it?Complete

But a year later and they're still running from the shadow of Sasha's father and from the memories that plague Rannok's dreams at night. A year later and they are still wandering. Rannok didn't know that when he stole money from the local innkeeper, that this time it would set the local mercenaries after him. When he searches for help, he finds the people of the mountains are just as intolerant as the ones back home, just in different ways.

Girl in Gold
[The rewritten version of Two Gangs and a Golden Girl] DO NOT ATTRACT ATTENTION UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE CONSEQUENCES. Such is the law in Tygerwel, a town torn apart by a long history of bad blood. 19-year-old Amber Marigold can barely face the consequences of skipping breakfast, let alone attracting the interest of criminal organisations. Moving in with her cousin after the unanswered death of her parents, all she wants is a fresh start in a new town. And yet, the girl manages to waltz her way right into the middle of a dangerous rivalry between two young cyngs, leaders of their respective crime bloodlines. But when a bet on who could win her heart not only risks the safety of her family but raises questions about what truly happened to her parents, Amber must make a choice. Stay an ignorant pawn, keeping safe what she still has, or become a player and gamble it all for a glimmer of truth. . . . EXPLORE A WORLD OF CRIME YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. WHERE CRIMINALS ACT AS ROYALTY IN A DANGEROUS GAME OF BLOOD. "So, this is how the game is actually played, he realised. He finally understood now. It had never been a contest of strength or numbers. It was a contest of who had more to lose... and who had everything to gain." . . . [This is the rewritten and published version of Two Gangs and a Golden Girl. Ebook and paperback are available on Amazon. The hardcover is available on IngramSpark. I have decided to publish the book on Wattpad as well for those that cannot aford to buy it.]Complete
