A modern adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jacqueline "Jackie" is just poor old lady living in a dreary nursing home and is known by her granddaughter Lilly for all the silly made up stories she tells whenever Lilly visits. Lilly is just a twelve year old little spitfire that seems to have a never ending imagination, claiming that her grandmother's stories may have some truth to them, and that the so called fictional characters might actually be wandering the halls of the nursing home, somehow undetected by the staff and other nursing home residents. Everyone, including Lilly's parents, seem to think Lilly may be spending a little too much time with her grandmother and her grandmother's stories, and think it may be best that Lilly spends some time away from the nursing home. But this could be a mistake, because Lilly has always been known to be an intelligent girl, and she and her grandmother may hold a secret that could change everyone's perception of how the world works. Can Lilly prove that she isn't going crazy and that her grandmother's stories hold more truth than one might want to believe? Or will her parents stop her in her tracks, unaware of the danger they might all be in if they do so?

Have Faith: Life and Times of a Glorious Asshole
Screw the cliche stories about heroes and villains. Here's a story narrated by someone else. A smartass. The Anti-Hero. Rude, selfish, and arrogant, Ace Johanna Araya isn't your typical hero. Optimistic, wisecracking, and friendly, she isn't your typical villain, either. After loosing herself in a life of crime; Ace makes the mistake of breaking into the wrong house and ends up under the same roof as a bunch of virtuous Do-Gooders who hunt the supernatural. Of course, she thinks she's just using them for a free place to stay. Little does she know, they're about to get her involved in a lot more than she bargained for. Of course, every story needs its villains, so, two seductively sassy vampires and a sadistic, ageless entity of evil who promises to end life as we know it (no surprise there) come into the mix. Ace will find herself struggling to determine where exactly the line between Good and Evil lies, all the while spewing random innuendos, cracking terrible jokes, and making pop culture references. This is going to be a mess. Inspired by things such as: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Supernatural, John Dies at the End, Constantine, Odd Thomas, Mean Girls, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Deadpool WARNING: The Narrator in this book (Ace) is an egotistical, insensitive, and selfish person. Even the more serious parts will have some comedic input from her and she can tend to be a bit abrasive or offensive. This is, after all, an anti-hero's point of view. This book contains characters of different ethnic backgrounds, races, and sexual orientations. A few will have mental and/or social disorders. So, keep an open mind.Complete
