She-Bear
Etele has a good life, living on a cold and snowy planet with a family and community who love her. But when sky fighters from Rove City show up suddenly and destroy her small village, her world is turned upside down. And when she discovers that her own father is the target of this attack, everything she once believed about her life is forever altered. Fleeing from the sky fighters and their now ruined town, Etele, her friend Natali, her two young charges, Maeve and Lazlo, and the surviving members of her village are forced to make a long, arduous journey on foot to the nearest city. And when the first winter snow hits during their march, they are unprepared to handle its devastating wrath. Just when all hope is lost, a mysterious bear appears, guiding Etele and her companions to safety, and leading Etele down a path of discovery—about what happened to her village and why, her father and her family history, and most importantly, about Etele herself. This is the seventh book in the Rove City series, and a retelling of the Italian fairy tale, She-Bear.
Clock Watch
Something strange is going on in Pomegranate City. People are whispering about the “end times,” protesting in the streets, and suggesting that recent events are connected to something called, “The Clock of Legend.” This is the backdrop to the surprising death of the city’s leader, Administrative Chair Aderick. Quin Black, an influential military-government liaison, and John, a top scientist and mathematician, are pulled in to help with the investigation of Chair Aderick’s death, and quickly discover that something much more sinister is going on—and have to consider that the Clock of Legend might not be just a legend. Meanwhile, Auvek Oliphant has just shown up for an internship...
The Intersection of Setting and Story
You're writing a book. But as it turns out, writing a book is difficult! In your head, the narrative is grand and beautiful--some might even say epic, majestic, a story for the ages! But as you're rereading what you've got so far, you find yourself... disappointed. It's not at all how you imagined it, with choppy language, weak characters, and thin description of the setting. It lacks depth and form, but you don't exactly know how to fix it. Writing and revising fiction is challenging, and the strategies for doing it well are varied and highly subjective. And the truth is, there's no single "right way" to craft a narrative. So how do you do it? How do you take what seems like a brilliant ide...
Voro's Return
Askari and the others spent their winter in the Vault, taking the time to heal, rest, and learn as much as they can. But with the first drops of melting snow, an all too familiar face appears: Devor. Askari knows he is taunting her, trying to get her to react--and she knows she should resist. But all she wants is to kill him... until she finds out that there might be a way to save Agi in the process. As the days grow slowly warmer, Askari and the others embark on a mission to save their friend and fellow warrior--and possibly the future of the human race. This is the 5th action-packed book in the Land of Szornyek series.
The Silver Arm
Maybelle works as a mechanic fixing bots and ships on Rove City and she loves it. Her life should be good. Except that her merchant father hasn’t returned from his most recent trip, her younger sisters need more than she can give them, and the family is quickly running out of money. Not to mention, Gabor, a local security guard, has decided he deserves Maybelle’s affections—at any cost. She’s managing, until Gabor takes his attentions one step too far: he threatens her sisters. Maybelle realizes that she can’t protect them alone—it’s time to track her father down. But when she finally finds him, she discovers that it’s not that simple. He’s being held prisoner by Amarok, a temperamental cyborg who will only let her father go under one condition: Maybelle stays behind in his place. For the sake of her sisters, she agrees, but soon discovers that there is far more to Amarok than meets the eye. The longer she stays on board his ship, the clearer it is that something strange is going on—but she doesn’t know what it is or how to fix it. The Silver Arm is a science fiction retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and the third in the Rove City series.
The Stalk
Every year, members of Jack's community are invited to meet with the wealthy founders of the Stalk, the living space elevator that casts its massive shadow over every part of her life. Every few years, one of the chosen is a Digger like Jack--who returns to the community only to throw themselves to their death. Jack doesn't want to think about the Stalk. She doesn't want to think about the friends she's lost. But this year, it's her turn—and refusing the invitation isn't an option. When she arrives, she only has one goal: stay alive. But as she encounters a mix of people in the highest positions of power and other ordinary citizens like herself, she begins to realize that the truth about the Stalk is bigger than all of them--and darker than she could have imagined. And she's the only one with the power to stop it. The Stalk is a science fiction retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, and the second in the Rove City series.
Opus
I don’t want to hide anymore, but I have no choice. After fleeing Thistle City, I decide to take refuge in the wilderness, far from civilization. The best thing for everyone is if I simply disappear. But part of me knows that’s not the right answer, and Finn, Gary, and Silas certainly don’t agree. Not to mention, no matter where I go, Galen is going to find me. I know it as surely as I’ve known anything. When Gary shows up at my hideout, soaking wet and steaming mad, I realize that something has to give. I’m reluctant to leave the comfort of the outdoor life I’ve made, but a threatening message from Galen catapults me out of hiding. “I’ve found your mother,” he says. He cou...
Fugue
I’m in hiding again—but at least I’m not alone. After our narrow escape, Silas and I are forced to hunker down in a small town called Strait Water on the Tirin Continent. I get another job at a restaurant, and we do our best to stay under the radar. Meanwhile, Finn is working with Gary and Lenna to figure out the best way to face Galen head on. Everything is going great, until the neighbor boy crashes his bike. Who’s there to catch him? Me. When his powers suddenly awaken, Silas and I know we need to get out of Strait Water fast. We hitch a ride to a small town outside the Caliginous Mountains, only to run into two of Finn’s security guards: Tiny and Henry. We split into two groups...
Tentacles and Teeth
The apocalypse wasn't what anyone expected--no rising flood waters, no zombies, no nuclear bombs. Instead, monsters. Their sudden invasion left the world in shatters, and now, decades later, all that's left of human civilization are a few nomadic bands struggling to survive off the land. Askari was born to this world, and lives, fights, and survives alongside the community that raised her. But when she breaks one too many of the community's rules, her punishment is severe: leave. Armed with her bow and blade, Askari sets off alone, guided only by a map and the promise that if she can find a book hidden in a nearby town, then she can return. But what can one person do alone in such a harsh, violent landscape? How will she survive? Askari faces a challenge that will force her to learn not only about the world she lives in, but question what she believes about herself.
The Ghost Below
Fia loves her job as an electrician aboard a space-faring city vessel. She is skilled at her work, and appreciates not having too much facetime with other humans. She just has one problem: a colleague has taken an interest in her—interest she doesn’t return. When she finally works up the courage to tell him no, he takes offense and reports her to her supervisor for insubordination. Her punishment? Her boss assigns her to repair the conduits in the bowels of the ship, reported to be haunted by a ghostly voice. As Fia nervously delves into the darkest, most unknown corners of the ship she calls home, she wonders just what she will find down there: friend or foe? Or something else entirely? This is a short story set in the Rove City universe, set roughly 150 years prior to book 1, Midnight Wings.
