Berlin!  Art Capital of the World.  At least, that's what Tilly thinks.  Young, ambitious, and determined to stake her claim in the city's gritty streets, Tilly is flying high until she gets evicted and finds her work smashed on the sidewalk. Desperate for a place, she ends up at Berlin Discount Storage, a crumbling Soviet-era apartment block that hides thrilling but dangerous secrets.  

If Tilly wanted to find out what makes this city tick, she got more than she bargained for.    

Berliner is an urban-fantasy short-story that features a plucky new-adult heroine.  It is also an experiment in serialized storytelling told on the fly.  Readers, hope you enjoy the ride.

The boy who could paint the world in vibrant hues now sees only grey.

When their worlds collide-quite literally-in a twist of fate, neither is prepared for the impact. Liam, hardened by his struggles, is drawn to Clara's passion and untainted view of art. Her fresh perspective breathes life into the creative fire he thought had burned out forever. And Clara, in awe of Liam's talent, finds herself both inspired by and inexplicably connected to him.
