Quirky Stories

Ezekiel, summoner-slash-tracker for hire has been given an important job by an important nobleman from the capital. To find spellcasters who can perform an ancient, magical number-one said to only be managed by a spelldancer and a spellsinger with the secret knowledge, skill and magic. Given that this piece is said to have been last performed three centuries ago, Ezekiel expects to find some troubles in his quest. He's used to the usual ones-apparent dead ends, rival spellcasters, harsh terrain, dark magic, to mention but a few. This quest, however, seems different in that regard. A force to reckon with and a threatening addiction, the spell dancer he finally finds proves to be a most unusual trouble. Miria has used her spelldancing magic for minute, day-to-day activities. In her work as a bar dancer and sometimes, in swatting two or more trouble-causing pests. With some of the pests she oh-so-graciously swatted out for her blood, Miria accepts the opportunity to leave her district and use her magic for much more-something meaningful, something sacred, and something that is sure to challenge her. Her choice had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it was a handsome, eccentric, somewhat intimidating summoner that asked her.

CEMENT Ordinary material. Extraordinary problems. People get stuck. In habits. In relationships. In bad decisions. Sometimes quite literally in concrete. Cement is a collection of dry, absurd and comical short stories about ordinary people caught in situations that become increasingly difficult to explain. A funeral goes wrong. A convoy rolls out like the Wild West. A meeting without purpose. A receipt becomes a record of a life. And sometimes, the best thing to do with a perfectly good piece of concrete is absolutely nothing. Standalone stories. Unexpected situations. Very little sense of escape (unless you're a snail). Fantasy tales feature as well, and they too don't escape the lure of cement.

Rule #1 of fake dating campus hockey star Julian Cross: Don't fall in love. Rule #2: Try not to break his rival's nose. Daisy Miller is a walking catastrophe. She routinely forgets her own apartment number, talks to stray alley cats like they're old friends, and once called emergency services because she thought her toaster was watching her. But behind her pastel wardrobe, spacey daydreaming, and late-night baking habit lies a minor detail her classmates usually miss: her dad was an elite military combat instructor. Daisy possesses terrifying, lightning-fast Krav Maga reflexes-she just usually forgets she has lethal hands because she's too busy looking at butterflies. Enter Julian Cross. Broody, ridiculously attractive, and the star captain of the college hockey team. After a bar fight threatens his shot at the NHL draft, his coach gives him a strict ultimatum: clean up his bad-boy image immediately, or kiss his hockey career goodbye. Julian's solution? Pay sweet, innocent-looking Daisy to act as his wholesome fake girlfriend for the season. He thinks he's hiring a fragile fashion major who needs his protection. That is, until Carter Vance-Julian's arrogant, gorgeous arch-rival from the opposing team-tries to intimidate Daisy at a crowded bar. Before Julian can even step in, 5'2" Daisy casually flips 220-pound Carter over her shoulder, pins him to a beer-soaked rug, and sweetly asks if anyone wants a homemade cookie. Now, Carter isn't mad-he's utterly fascinated. Driven insane by jealousy, Julian finds himself in a full-blown war for Daisy's attention, unable to admit his feelings are real without breaking their contract. But as Carter gets dragged into Daisy's delightfully chaotic world, an unexpected love triangle forms that none of them saw coming-and an ending that changes the game entirely. Filled with fast-paced banter, high-heat tension, absurd roomie chaos, and a heroine who can dismantle a man with a smile

Winter is coming and someone's stealing everyone's socks. © 2021 by Jules.

She was supposed to be on vacation. Instead, she found herself watching a stranger through binoculars, waving at him from across the resort, and somehow becoming the subject of his curiosity. Raffaele De Rossi came to Greece for business. Taking over a resort was part of the plan. Becoming interested in the strange woman on the beach wasn't. Thalia is sarcastic, unpredictable, and far too curious for her own good. Raffaele is powerful, guarded, and used to getting what he wants. Neither of them knows just how dangerous the other can be. She thought she was watching him. She didn't realize he was watching back.

Belle needed a quiet place to paint. What she got... was The House. Described by her cousin as "quaint" and "full of character," the old mansion on the isolated farm is anything but. The house smells like something died in it in 1893 and never quite left. The lights don't work, the clocks don't agree, and the walls seem to whisper when the storm rolls in. Charming. Cut off from the outside world as the weather turns vicious, Belle is not alone. There's a man-warm, strong, kind, and very distracting... except for one small problem: She's not entirely sure he is real. Because this house doesn't behave. Doors don't always lead where they should. Time slips. Shadows remember. And sometimes, the past doesn't just echo-it replays. As old journals, strange dreams, and terrifying moments she can't explain bring together fragments of history, Belle begins to uncover tragedies that were never meant to be buried. But the house isn't just remembering. It's waiting... Funny, haunting, and quietly heartbreaking, The House is a story about love, loss, revenge, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Harper Wren doesn't believe in ghosts. Which is unfortunate, because one lives in her foyer. After twenty years and one messy tabloid divorce, Harper returns to Fairhaven with two teenage daughters, a dead mother, and a house that's falling apart faster than her tolerance for small-town gossip. She plans to rip up the floors, patch the plaster, and sell the place before her past catches up. That would be easier if: • The lights would stop flickering every time she tells a lie. • Her mother's ghost wasn't slamming doors and muttering about "standards." • And Nate Callahan-her high school almost-love-wasn't back in her life, wielding a crowbar and looking at her like she never left. Nate was supposed to be ancient history. But he's taller now. Quieter. And somehow still knows exactly when she's about to fall apart. As Harper peels back the wallpaper, she uncovers more than mold. There are memories in these walls. Secrets. Regret. And a second chance she never planned on. Witty, wicked, and quietly romantic, Haunted and Homewrecked is a paranormal love story about buried resentment, literal hauntings, and what happens when the life you ran from starts looking a lot like the one you actually want.
