When Angels Fall
Iris never believed in angels. Or demons. Or anything beyond the ordinary hum of life. School, homework, and late-night drives with her best friend-that was real. Then a new student arrives. Cassiel. Beautiful, silent, wrong. There's something about him that doesn't fit, something that makes the air too thick when he's near. She tries to ignore him. Pretend she doesn't notice how his shadow bends the wrong way, how his reflection sometimes isn't his. But then the world starts to change. People disappear. The sky bleeds. And something is hunting Cassiel-something that knows Iris' name, though she's never spoken to it. She should run. She should forget him. But it's too late for that. Because when angels fall, they don't fall alone.

Illogies Un
A few seasons ago, I participated in NaNoWriMo with the goal of writing a story a day for the entire month of November. I was able to do this and ended up with well over 50,000 words for the month. This book ended up with around 43K words, but it is missing a few stories. I didn't want to put anything that goes with "Pearls of the Mother" in the "Illogies." Each day I sat down to write, I had a different mood or something else I was thinking about, and I let that guide my writing process. I think a couple of these may end up with follow-on stories or maybe even books of their own. I hope you enjoy these; I know I do.Complete
