When her parents are overthrown, Lisette is demoted from princess to servant. Refusing to stop caring for her people simply because she's no longer royalty, Lisette cooperates with the new royal mistress, Emeline, to smuggle people out of the castle.
She also befriends the champion of the deathfights, and finds herself in the unusual—and impossible—situation of falling in love with both of them. Before she can sort the matter out, however, an assassination attempt sends Emeline fleeing for her life—with the new queen's fearsome huntsman close on her heels...

A collaborative project of interconnected stories about pirates and merfolk, in which captain Harriet “Harry” Roberts of the good ship Sappho and her daring crew have adventures involving dangerous mermaids, stolen sisters, voiceless sirens, and various love affairs whilst clashing with the wicked Wrath Drew, captain of the ship Charon and the blackest heart to sail the seas.
A combination of several Grimm fairy tales with Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and the Wizard of Oz, twisted into darker or weirder shapes. This is a world where Beauty has been cursed with ugliness for her vanity; where the "charming" Prince keeps a harem; where Little Red Riding Hood is a heartless assassin; and where Alice falls in love with Snow White.
This collection of twelve stories has everything from Greek Mythology to retellings of classic fairy tales; long and lyrical stories to short, biting flash fictions.

MINA
In the 1920s, things far more dangerous than gangsters roam the streets at night. Mina Harker knows this-- but given that she has a safe (if stifling) life with a man who runs a dry nightclub, she never expected any of those things to come looking for her. But then her best friend and first love Lucy Westenra joins the Brides, enforcers for one of the most ruthless bootleggers in town...

THE QUICK AND THE DIVINE
When the colony on a new world is cut off due to disease, the survivors learn how to get by on their own. Eventually discovering the existence of a plethora of Deities, alliances are made and broken, and the whims of the gods either bless or destroy....
((Fantasy/Steampunk))
My short stories An Uncommon Road and Desert Journey are set in this universe.
BLASPHEMERS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
After the Rapture, Hannah and a select group of mortals are chosen to return to the Garden. But things there aren't as wonderful as they were led to believe... (okay, so that's partly because Hannah's cranky as hell about all this and picks a fight with anything that moves. Including the angels. ESPECIALLY the angels.)

THE STOLEN VOICE
Next in my "retold fairy tales" series, this one tells the story of Mariana, the little mermaid. Her older sister is a fierce warrior, celebrated throughout the Kingdom for her battles against the minions of the Sea Witch. But Mariana has no real desire to fight; she just wants to explore the ocean. When her travels lead her to the Sea Witch and her daughter and she learns that the two of them aren't really that bad, she's courting danger. When she falls in love with a human and makes a deal with her family's longtime enemy to try and be with him, the repercussions could bring the entire Kingdom down.

SIDESHOW AND MEMORY
A year in the life of a manager/promoter trying to keep his traveling carnival in business. The operation used to be much bigger-- never a full three-ring circus, but respectably-sized. He even employed two people who'd previously appeared in Madison Square Garden. Now movie houses and radio are becoming increasingly popular, and the makeshift family isn't sure how much longer they'll be able to stay afloat.

THE TELLTALE SHOES
My take on the story of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. The Princesses leave the safety of their home and travel down to the realm of the dead in order to visit their mother again. But the realm isn't as benevolent as it first appears, and not all of its inhabitants are as kind as the former Queen.

PALE MOON
It's a universally accepted fact that ghosts, werewolves, and such exist. The problem is how to deal with that. Some people set up Ghost Tours, showing tourists around the places where trapped spirits keep reliving their deaths. An enterprising corporation invents the SD-- the Supernatural Detector, which will go off should a vampire or werewolf masquerading as a "normal" approach. And some people, like Elspeth, try to create a place that's a haven from politics and modern-day witch hunts. That plan works better on some days than others.
