Stand-Alone Books
Some stories are still "In-Progress" referring to the fact they have chapters that are still being written and then uploaded. Others are completed. Those being rewritten will be unavailable until the rewrite is complete.
Some of these stories may be available on only one site due to technical difficulties, but none will be available for full reading on my blog, just excerpts (excluding chapters in Life is in the Little Things and Picture It).

Snowdrop & Dew
Being Uploaded on Tapas
The youngest daughter of Baron Cymmer received the short end of the stick when her father found out her mother had an affair. She dreams of leaving the oppressive manor and finding a tolerable match. A good lord with well-suited morals shouldn't be too much to ask for.
But, when a knight returns to collect her father's bounty on the fae, everything turns on a head and she is thrust into a dark world. It is not the magickal fairies causing mischief that her father angered. No, these fae stand like elves with strange eyes and fire at their fingertips. Better yet, their king has decided she would make for a fine bride.

Being Written
Those lullabies her mother used to sing her to sleep now ring in her ears as she’s carried to her death. However, she’s not one to just lay down and die. Especially not for some sacrifice to a god she doesn’t even believe exists anymore. No, she’s going to get up and keep moving because staying still will ensure a gruesome death.
