I wrote this to help me get through the aftermath of an abusive relationship as well as to find my own strength and voice as a writer and person again. I needed a hero and Spine was mine because he in so many ways saved my life.
In the first part Spine helps a young woman face her pain and fear of an abuser by being the one who climbs a tree to stop her from ending her life. She in turn gives him his first true taste of Humanity.
In the second part, while performing in a remote area, the members of Steam Powered Giraffe reunite with an old friend, make some new ones and go head to head with an evil scientist.

Human
Katie is no one special. To her, she was a shy insecure girl that didn't have a clue of what to do with her life. To her friends, she was a silly girl that almost always never made sense. And to the world, she was nothing. But that all changed quickly. He grins, "Come with me." He says, now standing only feet away from her. They now stand in the middle of their people, and everyone's eyes go to the Empress. "Come with me, and I'll make you my queen." Another step, "Come with me, and save your friends from my own" And another step, "Come with me, and be mine." He's so close, their toes touch, the only thing blocking them from fully touching. He whispers for only her to hear, "Come with me and marry me. We'll rule the world together hand in hand. Please, come and be my queen." He says, and when she looks down, she sees his hand, and she knows how much he wants her to take it. Knows how much she should take it.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
