PUBLISHED ON AMAZON/KU *** 4 CHAPTER SAMPLE HERE ***  Donny Thompson lands in the Florida Keys mere days after escaping a catastrophe predicted by the Mothman. But it is not all fun and sun in the Caribbean. Donny's arrival is met with a fresh set of murders in the waters around the island.

Some Key West residents blame the deaths to drunkenness and riptides. Others credit a man-eating sharks or a giant octopus, while a few claim the killer is a hundred-year-old specter trading souls with the merkingdom to regain a lost love. Donny isn't buying those explanations. Donny suspects a different culprit - a sea monster.

With help from new friends and new enemies, Donny is quickly set on a collision course with the truth. Can he decipher fact from fiction before the killer adds him to its seafood platter?

21 parts Complete
Combine a mountain filled with rugged orcs with a mysteriously arrived shop serving delicate cups of tea. Could this be the start of a revolution? **** On Orc Mountain, there is nothing but dirt, smoke, and backbreaking labor in the mines. There are no colors, no sun, no breaks for rest. There is definitely no tea. That is, until a mysterious tea shop appears in the orcs' domain. Glimmering in blue and pink, it stands out against the rugged backdrop. At first, the hardened inhabitants of the mountain are understandably leery about the malpositioned shop, wondering how it got there and why. Lava, a dedicated supervisor at the mines, takes it upon herself to investigate the suddenly-arrived business. Stepping inside, she meets Jasper, the bubbly fairy shopkeeper, who offers her a fragrant brew. Once Lava takes a sip, the sweet yet bitter taste pulls her in, making her clamor for more. Soon, all orcs are hooked on tea, but something sinister is brewing under the surface. When Lava catches Jasper conducting a secret meeting in a backroom, the true purpose of the tea shop is revealed. Soon she is forced to choose between her newfound passion for tea (and Jasper) and her dedication to the mountain's mining operations. *** Legends & Lattes x Shrek *** An ONC novella using prompt #15: A mysterious tea shop suddenly appears and you can't help but wonder: what's its true purpose, and why does it seem so important?

A soulmate is a person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity. They aren't literally supposed to be a soul... Right? • • • • • "Listen, dude." I rubbed my hands over my face. "I don't get a single thing you just said and I'm not interested either. So I politely ask you to leave." I plastered a smile on my face. "Naw." My jaw clenched. "Excuse me?" "You are the only one who can see me. So naw, I'm not going anywhere." I blinked my eyes and tried to process his words, but remained blank. "I'm the only one who can see you?" He bobbed his head. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself because this guy wasn't making any sense. "Leave my apartment or else I'll throw you myself." "Fortunately, that's something you can't do." He grinned. "Why?" "Because you can't touch me." I rolled my sleeves up to my elbows and cracked my knuckles. "This is your last warning, Finlay." I glowered and narrowed my eyes, trying to intimate him. "Leave." His lips stretched into a full grin, showing off his swoon-worthy dimples. "You're going to hurt yourself." "We'll see about that!" I yelled and launched myself at him. Instead of tackling him on the ground, as I imagined in my mind, I flew through him into the living room. "OPH!" I groaned as I landed on my face on the floor. I rolled on my back and rubbed my chest. F**k! "Are you ok?" Finlay came and crouch down next to me. "What the..." I sat on the ground and frowned as I stared at him. "I told you..." I ignored him and hesitantly held my hand in front of him and pressed it against his chest. My eyes bugged out of my sockets when I saw my hand go past him and came out of his back. "That tickles." He chuckled, and that was the last thing I remember before I faint. • • • • • FEATURED ON: @NA (It's Always the Butler) @mystery (Partners in Crime) @mystery (Cozy) @Badassreads (The Dauntless) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Paranormal, Soulmate, mysteryromance #2 Secrets #5 Slowbu
