Mercenary Work Book #2
"In this world, there are specific kinds of men: normal men, and broken men. Broken men have seen how fucked this world can be, and have been fucked by it. My father, is not even close to being broken. He's destroyed... Time. Time, is the biggest factor in this equation, and time will be the answer, to this fucked world. This world where men are powerful magic users. This world where I am one of them. This world where time is the only absolute."
I absolutely love my characters in this story so I'm writing a second book. If you don't like it deal with it. If you do, then fantastic. Get reading this world I've created.

Conjurers Bridge: Origin
Rules. Osred Wailes hates them. They keep him from getting what he deserves. Even after years of study Osred is not allowed to call himself a conjurer. He cannot work, he cannot marry, he cannot live anywhere other than his small room on the bridge. All because of rules. Conjurers built the bridge so they make the rules. But Osred is determined to find away around the rules - to find a way off the bridge. And his magic is powerful enough to force them. This is the backstory to a 2 book fantasy series I'm working on. After finishing the draft of book one I was a little stuck trying to plot out book two. I thought delving into the history of my world might help "unstick" me - Conjurer's Bridge is the result. I hope you enjoy it. All comments and constructive criticisms are welcome. Jane GlattComplete

A story. But all legends are based off of truth. "Don't go out after dark," My father said. "Don't go anywhere alone," My father said "Don't go deep into the woods, for that is where he waits," My father said. I never broke a rule. I was a good girl. But my question always was, what do I do when the monster comes out to play? *** I was blind, so I slowly walk forward, not knowing where he is exactly. But I use my senses. I let this connection pull into a direction. As I slowly walk ,I reach my hand out, "Where are you?" I asked quietly. A big and calloused hand touches my own. From that one touch, electric shocks courses through my body, a strange and warming sensation. I flinched and gasped in fright. The big and strong hand gently grabs mine and softly pulls me forward. A breath hits my face slightly. I was right in front of him. He leans down toward my ear, his lips almost touching it. His breath makes chills run over my neck as he whispers very quietly with a deep and rough voice, "Here I am." *** If you want this book to make sense to you, I would suggest you read Book 2 of my Blood Moon Pack series, it completed and ready to read. You can still read this as stand alone, however there is more information held in Book 2.Complete

Not Your Luna (Formerly His Rogue Luna)
He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain. "I'm sorry," I whispered before running as far away from him as possible. ***** She didn't want a mate, she just wanted to survive long enough to avenge her family. So when she finds out that Aiden Douglas, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, is her mate, and he cheats on her. She rejects him and runs. He is trying to fight for her while she fights her demons. What is she supposed to do when her demons become real? ***** Disclaimer: This is not a book with a happy ending or a love story. If you want a happy ending, this book isn't for you.

My Silver-Haired Demon
A man with a seriously messed up life and a load of mental problems made a lot of mistakes in his life but one stands above the rest. The story is about one man with a broken mind doing everything he can to try and make up for the wrong he did and find the woman he loves. This story is very intense and isn't for light reading. I think of the story like this: This isn't the story of a hero slaying a dragon and rescuing the princess. Nor is this a story about a hero who triumphs over evil and rescues the maiden in peril. This is the story of a man, who fights as much with himself, as he does the world around him. He is no hero, he is simply a man, trying to make the best he can of himself, and fix what he broke. He is both the protagonist, and antagonist of this story, because he does as much harm to himself as he does good.Complete
Make Your Bid
*Book 2 of the Lockstar Series* As we are told when we are children life is never easy. You don't get the toys you want, or the high paying job, you get screwed. Take my life for example, the only people that actually cared for me kidnapped me and is now selling me off like a high paid prostitute. As a child when we learn that truth we cry and moan until we get what we want, for my case that won't work so I'm taking matters into my own hands. Becoming a criminal isn't what my parents wanted me to be but who really cares, hacking is my life, I can't give it up. So this time we are taking on Lockstar yet again in order to take down it's human trafficking business and let the world live in semi peace again. Of course life is never to easy as the bidders want to claim their prizes, us. Do I have your attention now?Complete
