A cloak-and-dagger war rages in an invisible, marble world (superimposed on our own)--between H.O.B.O.E. and Harpy agents.
But the war is a bit of a charade, to make the earth look dangerous to would-be intruders. The Scarecrow-to-the-Aliens pulls puppet strings behind the scenes.
When intruders do come, they are not from outer space--but the past. The Harpies ally with these Scavengers. They blame the Scarecrow for losing their war. Try to kidnap her daughter, Cameo, and install her in her mother's place.
So Cameo is placed in "The Home for Magical H.O.B.O.E. Orphans," for safe-keeping... until she escapes. Tries to save the world single-handedly--with help from her Hoboe friends.

Through the Pines
Carthage soars at its zenith; Boston crawls at its nadir. Both cities are caught by the inertia of fate, or else the inexorable chaos of a random universe. A predator from the void stalks them, and it falls (somehow) to Abigail Wolfe to hold it at bay. If Abigail weren't a scholar, she'd be a delinquent, or so her parents joke. She loves them to death, but they've gotten in bed (not literally, gross) with an information broker, of all people. Don't they watch the news? An info broker across the continent just orchestrated a nightclub massacre, and he would have gotten away with it if his lover hadn't narc'ed. Not that Abby's one to talk - she's got a crush on an info broker's daughter. It seems like these brokers have their grubby fingers in every pie, and sooner or later, someone's bound to get killed. It could be worse: she could be living on Earth. Earth, where gangs vie over what's left of the cities, and cannibals pepper the wilderness. Earth, where they worship the heterochromatic Prophetess, and where a three-legged dog with yellow eyes stands vigil over the night. It's a shit-show over there, what with radiation from the fallout (to say nothing of the demons). Info brokers and shadow games or not, Abby's much better off on the colony world of Angel Falls - but when all is said and done, she might not have any say in the matter.Complete

Michael's Ghost Girl
This story is not getting the attention it deserves, so I am attempting to "re-brand" it. Maybe no one "gets" it. If you want to read about "Normal" teenagers, maybe this isn't for you, it's more complicated than that. It's about a teenager who doesn't fit it, but doesn't want to, who has the best two friends that anyone could have. Who watched his father lose his job in the Recession and then loses his home, and how he copes, especially when he learns that their new house is haunted and the ghost is in his room. Michael was an average kid, although he's always stood out. He was a school jock but also a skater whose long blond hair almost reaches his waist. When his parents lived in a house in a home owners association like all his other friends, life seemed normal. Then his father lost his job and suddenly those "friends" weren't there anymore--except for his two best friends, Short Round and Dewey. The three are skaters, good ones, who live for girls and their skateboards. They're also basically good kids who take pride in being different without paying attention to it. When Michael loses his home and his family has to move they have his back. And they are there for him when the ghost girl starts following him around. Mariah was murdered when she was just 15, her remains were never found, although no one but her and her ghost friend, Crazy Girl, know where their bodies are buried. The house Michael now lives in is the one where she lived with her family, and her old room is now his. She appears to him one night, trying to taunt him, but against her will she is falling in love with the boy who lives in her old room. Slowly the two begin to fall in love and Mariah tells him her story, and of the hidden danger that lies up the street from him. A dangerous strangers loves to kill little girls, and his sister KitComplete
