Alina Lee's Short Fiction
From late 2021 to all of 2022, Alina Lee wrote and published one short story a week on her blog. These stories ranged from fantasy adventures like What is Promised or The Sword Collector to genre mashups like the cyberpunk-wuxia hybrid Oathbreaker or science fantasy yarn A Final Insult. She also wrote stories that were designed like character snapshots and sketches, such as The Tired Commuter and Abby. Her stories also explored human relationships and the complications inherent to them in stories like In the Rain and Mountains to Climb. For the first time, the majority of these stories are now in a single compilation, organized by genre or according to the recurring worlds that appear in her stories. This compilation also contains additional stories that have not been published before.
Six-String City
I want to rock. For most of her life, Scarlet has been drawn to the rumble of thunder and the shredding of guitar riffs. Mourning her father's death led to a chance encounter that would lead her to the city built on rock and roll: Six-String City. A city of Songs, of guitar-axes, of heroes that called on the thunder and blasted out the rock and roll in their souls like a gift from a guitar shredding god. But not all is well, and she soon finds herself putting her faith in a live guitar and in a position to become one of the city's greatest legends. If she survives.
Beginnings, Middles, and Ends
Every relationship has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Beginnings, Middles, and Ends is a lesbian short story collection that is made up of fifteen relationships. Each story is a snapshot, peeking in at a particular moment in their story. Some of them are at the start, that first meeting or how the ice was broken. Some of them are at the end, some of them peaceful and amicable, but others with a little more conflict behind them. And some of these stories are in the middle, showing a relationship in progress or at rest.

She-Devils of Makai
"What is wrong with this city? If it's not wicked sorcerers, it's greedy necromancers. And if it's not either of those, it's ruinous cults or demons lurking in ancient ruins." "At least the food is good." Makai. City of Shadows. City of Nightmares. City of Demons. A city crumbling under the weight of its own history, and where forgotten relics of an unfathomable past linger just below the streets. And a city where everyone, from the dirtiest pauper to the fattest merchant-prince, has a problem that can only be solved with violence. Min and Kei are two women, warriors both and learned in different fields. They are also problem-solvers, martial artists living Makai that get paid to look into problems both mundane and supernatural. And solve them with the language of unarmed combat. This book collects the She-Devils of Makai short stories originally published online and rearranges them in their chronological order.

Secrets of Self
A raw and deeply personal poetry book that takes journal entries, scribbles onpost-it notes, and fragments of private blog posts, from the last ten years of my life.

Children of the Wolf
All Calian Serratus wanted out of the winter retreat was some food, some quiet, and maybe make a few new friends while avoiding getting involved in politics. All Aelia Ventarus wanted for the winter retreat was to be left alone with her thoughts, to work her way through her feelings and hopefully come through it with a clearer head. Yet, the whims of chance have their own intentions and the two of them find their paths intertwining with not only each other's, but the paths of others. And both find themselves dealing with things they never wanted to deal with and facing challenges that they might not be prepared for. As the situation is pulled towards complications of a mystical nature, the two will have to find people they can trust - and each other - to succeed in their goals.
