Zaida Garnet is a child prodigy. She's been playing violin since she was a child, she spends more time practicing then she does sleeping, has been first chair at all state four years in a row, and has a most impressive track record on top of that. Her dream is to go to Julliard, and some day become a famous classical musician, a household name, like Bach, and Beethoven, however she can't do that from the grave, so her only option to make that dream come true-and to save her life- is to beat death at his own game.

Prodigy
Everyone knew Locke de Davies - the music genius. Not everyone knew Zane Roberts and he was fine with that. He certainly never expected to know Locke or meet him one cold October night. Nor did he imagine that Locke could become so solidly embedded in his life within a matter of months, disrupting it in ways Zane could never have foreseen - for both better, and for worse. Zane, after all, had a plan. He had his future laid out and nothing was going to stop it happening the way he saw it. But when Locke begins to push and pull him with an ever shifting flow of barely-stable emotions under a playful guise, Zane is forced to confront himself and decide. What does he really want? The future he planned? Or a prodigy? ~~~~~~~~ Posted in one go so there's no waiting around~ Short novella dedicated to my followers thus-far ~ WARNING: contains some strong language and mature themes.

A teen from a racing family must choose between family obligations and the singing career he longs for. *** Mason's parents had a dream. They wanted their sons to race, and as car mechanics, they had spared no expense to ensure their sons were trained to the best of their ability. It was a family dream, and on the side, Mason would sing. After his brother, Haneul passed away, and the future became bleak, Mason had accepted that the only way to seek the light would be to make his parent's dream come true.

He'll have wasted so much time and effort if he changes his mind now. But when does Mason get to choose his own happiness?Complete
