May the Road Rise Up
Fiona Vates keeps her veterinary lab spotless and her personal relationships controlled. After all, a woman of science has nothing to fear from the dark, from the unknown. Until something sinister screams from the shadows, summoning Fiona to channel knowledge into action. Can she suspend her skepticism long enough to help the Innocent, endangered by those who would put misinformation to malevolent use? Or will her stubborn commitment to the life she’s worked so hard to build tear everything apart?
Gingerbread Hearts
Heartbroken after the sudden passing of her sister, Maureen Lee withdraws from her science program at NYU to spend the holiday back home in Seattle catsitting a strange hairless Sphynx named Chuck Bass. Christmas bonding? Her family didn’t get the memo. Thank heavens for latkes, Yule boughs of green, and cute software developers who aren't afraid to be honest with their abuelas. Hey, Alexa. Does stress baking gingerbread cookies count as self-care?
Dance Academy
Acacia bears no illusions about her role in dystopian America. Fat cat oligarchs have had their way, stifling any future for an ambitious woman. Any future but one. After landing a scholarship position at the prestigious National Dance Academy, Acacia knows she has only one way up and out. Only to find that the Academy will be training her for so much more… to fight. To deceive. To forge a better future than she could have possibly imagined.
