Constellation Configurations
When looking up at the night sky and staring into the dizzying depths of the Universe, sometimes I feel so tiny--so insignificant. Writing calms the roaring in my ears, catches the tears in my eyes, and sets me free on wings to soar among the stars. And occasionally, I catch sight of constellation configurations...…
Miami 2017
The year is 2301. Governments have been disbanded. Towns have been evacuated and abandoned. Survivors do what must be done to live. Some sacrifice for their families, while others turn on their fellow man. Food is scarce. Days are hot. Nights are cold. Routine is all that gets people by through the day. But one day that all changes."I hacked my childhood to bits!" I yelled, trying to hold back hot and furious tears. "You were there when it happened!" June Flanders is haunted by memories of past lives, and while she struggles for survival in the ruins of what once was North America, remembering events that occurred nearly three hundred years before, she comes to realize that her world was doomed even before the septilence. And it all began in Miami 2017.…

The Farm
Against her wishes, Liv Reynolds is being dragged to a farm party in the middle of "Nowhere, Texas", by her bitch of a mother. She may only be thirteen but she knows that the only reason she's being forced to come is because she has to look after her little brother, Devon, while her mother "socializes" (drinks) with the other adults. But there's something lurking in the darkness, killing farm animals and scaring the dogs. A coyote like the adults say? Or something more... sinister? **Part of the Dark Dreams Halloween Anthology** *Blood and Guts Warning*…
Roles Reversed
What if...These words have unbridled potential, potential that is explored in the installments of Roles Reversed. What if women ruled our ancient empires? What if men had to fight for the right to vote? What if women were the only ones drafted during war-times? What if being considered feminine was a strength and a compliment, but being considered masculine was a weakness?What if instead of "Oh, My Lord" it was "Oh, My Lady"?So many what ifs! So much potential! DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a book promoting one gender over the other. This is NOT a book that puts women on a pedestal and degrades men. This is a book that proves that everyone SHOULD be treated equally, no matter their gender or lack of, and that any gender could have been targeted at any point in time for any reason. If you feel like I might offend you, then the answer is pretty simple:DON'T READ THE BOOK.If you are interested in certain gender biased positions (for both ways) that I have gender bent then:FEEL FREE TO READ THE BOOK.If you would like to respectfully give me your opinion, good or bad, I would honestly love to hear it, and if you have any historical situations that you would like to see me write about, leave a comment! I would really appreciate it!…
