FBI agent Jack Rhodes and Doctor V.C. Coldwater team up to solve a murder involving treason, secret government research, and the Uzbekistani black market. Commander Jack Rhodes was kicked out of the Navy SEALs after a mission went wrong, but he continues to serve the public as an agent of the FBI. After a woman is murdered, he's forced to team up with the unconventional and flagrantly disrespectful Doctor V.C. Coldwater. What looks like a simple case turns out to extend deep into government research, nuclear fission, and the global criminal underworld. Jack's forced to rely on a woman he thought he'd despise, because in a case this complicated, she's the only person he can trust. [[word count: 200,000-250,000 words]]

For years, the faceless terror known as the Hand of Fate has been secretly manipulating the port city of Reyza for her shadowy ends. Those she favors rise in status while those who betray her are never heard from again. When the opportunity to eliminate a powerful dynasty presents itself, the Hand of Fate conspires with a sadistic diplomat who shares the king's bed. Together, they hatch a plan to assassinate their rivals. The plan is flawless-every variable calculated-except for one. On the night the Hand of Fate's hired assassin makes his move, a notorious thief is also making his. Jarle Jadien has had it with the gray-haired harpy whom he serves and succumbs to the greatest temptation of all: The Ensther estate is home to the king's betrothed and a fortune in jewels. When the risky heist takes a disastrous turn, Jarle finds himself in possession of a treasure he has no intention of keeping. Avaren Ensther is beauty and intrigue in one, and a keeper of secrets that reach far beyond Jarle's world of whiskey and disrepute. Reyza's infamous thief has had his heart stolen from under his nose, but time will tell if his sirenic temptress proves worthy. Within the city walls, a retired war-hero investigates the conspiracy and attempts to uphold justice, but his efforts may not suffice to prevent an all-out war. Too many vengeful plots have festered; too much blood spilled. As the moons reach a cataclysmic alignment, unleashing the terrible force of the tides, neither hero, criminal, nor all-powerful monarch; can escape the tendrils of fate.

[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.

They pushed her. She fell. He found her. *** Eira can't remember who pushed her down to the mortal lands. All that matters is that she's stuck there now - at least until she makes her way back to the Moon Temple, where the White Tower waits. A simple journey, right? Wrong. One Cupid Arrow later and Eira finds herself stuck between a rock and three of the most sought-after bachelors in the werewolf world. She wouldn't be averse to the situation, though, if they hadn't claimed to be her mates. She's not a werewolf, which means she's supposed to be unbound. She can't have a mate, let alone mates, unless something's gone wrong back home. Determined to find out what's going on in the skies above, she decides to claw her way to the top, whether Cupid decides to fire more arrows at her or not. Sorting out someone else's mistakes isn't easy, especially when said mistakes are three stubborn males who refuse to take no for an answer... but when the mystery surrounding them begins to unravel, Eira is faced with a choice and a realisation. Because she's not unbound. And it's not a mistake. ---Not abandonned, but it may take me a while to get back to writing this since my main account stories are taking priority over this one--- (Book One in the Moon Goddess Trials Series)

This is the journal of Darren Stratt, an "imperfect" who is being hunted in America due to a new law which has stripped disadvantaged individuals--now called "imperfects"--of their rights. In Darren's journal, he documents the horrors of a world run by an all-powerful government that helps itself by pretending to care about the greater good. In Part 1 (April-June, 2066), the Perfect America Bill is signed into law for the first time. The effects are instantaneous; armed men and women are breaking down doors, killing and capturing so-called imperfects, gunning down anyone who stands in their way, and (worst of all) enjoying every second of it. Darren is currently hiding in a bunker beneath his house, but it won't stay safe for long. Soon, he'll need to start thinking of a new safe point.
