In The Now (paid link)
There’s a reason why I haven’t been home for ten years.
Scratch that.
There are many reasons why I haven’t been home—family drama, small-town gossip, and my career probably take up the top three spots.
But when my career stalls and I get devastating family news, I’m back to the very place I ran away from a decade ago. The last thing I want to do is pick up right where I left off, and as I’m drawn to Noah, my terrifyingly gorgeous high school bully, I know that things have certainly changed.
I was supposed to run away and never look back, but I’m stuck dealing with my past and planning for the future. But all I want to do is live in the now.
Vigil (paid link)
Mankind has fallen to darkness and a new breed rules the earth. The age of the vampire has begun.
Few survived the fall of man. Those who remain to witness the darkening of the world live by the gun or live in fear. There is no middle ground.
The cities lay in ruin after the last war and vampires have inherited the blasted remnants. Some will not cower in the night. They fight because there is nothing left to them, and they fight without hope of peace or victory.
In a war with no end, in a land without succour, what chance do the survivors have? The war was lost as soon as it was begun. But there is still the past…and perhaps, a future.
And through it all, one man stands vigil.
