Cameron Adele wasn't born deaf, but Elois Limboe was. After months of being apart, the two are brought back together, only this time, the tables have turned. Elois has gotten cochlear implants, and Cameron lost her mother and her hearing in an accident, while her younger sister remains in a comatose state. Cameron has lost Elois once before, and she's lost so much more along the way. This time, she is unwilling to give up. This story follows Cameron's journey as she comes to terms with herself and what it really means to be deaf. In a world where labels such as "Disabled" are stuck onto her, Cameron begins to believe it herself. It takes Elois, Family, Friends, and a little bit of light to show Cameron that her disability gives her abilities that "Normal" people could never dream to have. "A Different World" is a story of acceptance and recovery and the struggles of adapting to new worlds.

10 Year Reunion
In a lot of ways, this story is a romantic love story about platonic love and relational reconciliation. This is an LGBTQ center-ed love story about a woman named Audrey's conflicted thoughts and feelings towards her high school best friend Anika who she had fallen in love a decade ago. As a result of her immaturity at the time, the two's friendship fell apart and left both women deeply traumatized. Now, 10 years later with a picture perfect life and an amazing pre-fiancée: Dunni, Audrey still finds herself longing not for the relationship that she once had with her high school best friend, but a new relationship all together. The only problem is that she has no idea how to go about it without hurting everyone she loves and losing everything that she has gained.Complete

After an accident in eighth grade, Louisa Kelley was blind. Every day was a struggle for her as she tried to adjust to life both at school and at home, but life got easier with practice. As soon as Louisa entered high school, things had changed for the worse. The students around her bullied her because she was different, harassing her, stealing her things, and talking about her behind her back, making an already difficult life so much harder. Now in her junior year of high school, Louisa is broken and without anyone to call a friend. She eventually decides to remove herself from the bullies that surround her daily and be home schooled. That is, until she met Alex. Alex Mirren was born deaf, but when he was six years old, he received a cochlea implant that allowed him to hear. Even after the ten years of speech therapy where he had to teach himself how to hear, Alex prefers to stay in the silence and only communicates with the world when necessary. Life seemed dull to him as he was stuck in between two worlds of silence and noise, not knowing his purpose or place in society. That is, until he saw a girl with a walking stick in the hallways. Louisa and Alex weren't made for each other. Although the very presence of each other gives them new hope and strength, things are difficult as Louisa thrives by using her hearing, while Alex shies away from sound and uses sight. Without being able to communicate easily, they must learn to overcome the barrier of the silence between them, which is easier said than done.

[FULL KELS SERIES] When Ande wakes up on the bottom of the ocean with a fish's tail, she's not sure what she did wrong. Getting sacrificed by her island is a likely bet, but why---and why her---is a mystery. Out of her depth in an unfamiliar world, she soon finds herself wrapped up in the society of the Kels, the people who live under the sea. Desperate to get back to her island, she strikes an agreement with a squid-tailed boy whose sunny smile and knowledge of her language are a welcome assistance at first. Soon, though, she begins to sense that he's hiding something. Things take a turn for the worse when her way home gets complicated by the Kels' wars and several eerie myths about her people that may not be myths at all. The history of the Kels goes back farther than her own culture, and the harder she struggles to get back to land, the more the question arises: Does she belong in the water after all? ❖❖❖ Marked mature for darker themes and scenes, not spicy content.

Why Her?
There is one day in every person's mind that will forever be engraved into their memory. For some it's good, for others it's bad. For Cameron, it was bad. Convinced her voice was the reason her mother had died, she refused to ever talk again, resulting in her classmates ostracizing her as a mute freak. After years of silence, Cameron and her father move towns in hopes of her making new friends and better memories. On her first day in her new home, she meets her new neighbor Venus, and it's love at first sight. With mixed signals thrown all over the place, Cameron ponders thoughts she never imagined she'd need to think over. Like why is Venus trying to get to know her better? Why does Venus treat her like she's the most important person in the world? And why is it that no matter how many times she tries to convince herself she can't be with Venus, she only ever thinks about her? #1 in LGBT 1/5/20Complete
Two Heartbeats on One Page
Jordan's in love with two people (who are in love with each other), he hasn't spoken to his parents in five years, and despite working almost sixty hours a week, he's still ages away from having enough to pay for the three surgeries he needs to complete his gender confirmation. This would be a problem anywhere, but particularly so in small-town, homophobic Arizona. He needs a vacation. Darcey's been discharged from the Army after knowing nothing else for eight years, he's unemployed, and, at twenty-seven years old, he has no choice but to move back in with his parents. Since his discharge was dishonorable, he doesn't even have health insurance to treat his PTSD. He just needs some time to get back on his feet and reconnect with his family. Instead, they find each other. When Jordan takes Darcey home from a party, they mean it to be a one-night stand, but they turn out to be too compatible to want to give each other up. Neither wants a relationship, but a straightforward, no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits setup will keep things nice and neat, right? Nope. Instead, everything gets messier.
