To save her people, Tod must embrace her identity as a PathFinder and navigate the often dangerous Ancient Ways.

Harper Wilde is sitting on the beach, minding her own business when a huge, muscular Kindred warrior with black hair and blazing white eyes demands that she accompany him into the future. Harper has no choice--she is dragged against her will into a dystopian nightmare--the world as it might become if something isn't changed.
And that something that needs changing is Harper herself.
As a ten'sora, she is of special interest to the Hive, an insectile race of beings bent on taking over the Earth. By using her, they can conquer both the Mother Ship and the human race. Unless she herself is altered so the Hive cannot make use of her, the grim future Harper finds herself in will become reality.
Shad is a Shadow Twin--a Kindred male destined always to walk alone with very little chance of forming a bond with a female. Yet, he alone is able to make use of the looper--a time travel device which allows him to move back and forth between the past and the future to try and save Harper. Falling in love with her isn't part of the plan but the big Kindred can't help himself. But he knows he must put his feelings aside and do what is necessary to change the past… unless he wants the future to Vanish forever. Views: 1 161
Welcome to Newford…
Welcome to the music clubs, the waterfront, the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and the wild and the poor and the lost. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the grey harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song.

Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact, she's probably the last witch in the world who you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand, regardless of her actual abilities. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa where she could watch TV, munch junk food and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content.
However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses. It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body which a cover model would be proud of but, as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch-work.
And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog. Views: 1 161
Larry Niven created his popular "Magic Goes Away" universe in 1967, and it has been a source of delight and inspiration ever since. By asking the simple question, What if magic were a finite resource?, Niven brought to life a mesmerizing world of wonder and loss, of hope and despair. The success of his first story collection, "The Magic Goes Away," birthed two sequel anthologies, "The Magic May Return" and "More Magic." All three volumes are collected here for the first time, with stories by Niven himself, as well as contributions by such luminaries of fantasy as Roger Zelazny, Fred Saberhagen, Steven Barnes, and Poul Anderson.
Featuring a brand-new introduction by Larry Niven, "The Magic Goes Away Collection" gives readers insight into the breathtaking world of Niven and Jerry Pournelle's "The Burning City" and "Burning Tower" and stands on its own as a landmark in fantasy fiction Views: 1 161

The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak.

They were disappearing, one at a time, in spite of the fact that in the crowded, hungry world of 2490 there was really nowhere worth going. Then they began to reappear, not in Moscow or Nairobi or LA--but in 1970, 1981, even the nostalgic days of the roaring 2100's. A way to the past had been found & people were flocking thru it for a better life--no matter what peril they might pose to the threatened present.
Earth in the late 25th Century is an unpleasant place for many. People are crowded into most available areas. Unemployment is rampant. A highly stratified society provides luxury & space for a few, while lower levels live crowded in tiny apartments. Into this situation comes a hope of escape–-escape into the past, before the world was crowded.
The story follows several characters. 1st is Joe Quellen, a midlevel Secretariat of Crime bureaucrat with a secret African residence, reached by a private teleportation booth. He heads the investigation into unauthorized time travel. Another is Norman Pomrath, Joe's brother-in-law, an unemployed low-level worker. He swears he wouldn't abandon his wife & children if presented with a chance to become a hopper. Views: 1 157
What can you do when you're in love with your hot Billionaire boss and you know you can't have him? Make an android of him, of course.
Holly Sparks is the plus-sized assistant to Grant Harris the Third--the billionaire magnate of the largest hovercar company in the world. She's dying for a chance to be dominated by her sexy, unobtainable boss but she knows she's not his type. While on a business trip to the moon, Holly visits Anyone U Want Androids Inc.--a company that promises to make a life-like android replica of anyone. It might cost her entire Christmas bonus but to Holly it's worth it to have the man she dreams of even if it's not really Grant.
Grant Harris the Third might appear to have it all but there's one thing he can't have--his curvy little assistant, Holly. Grant is sure his need to dominate a woman would scare the timid Holly away and he doesn't want that--better to have her in his life as an assistant than not at all. But then, on a business trip to the moon he happens to find her dream-viewer--full of naughty fantasies with him in the starring role. And when he sees the brochure for Anyone U Want androids, the temptation to make Holly's fantasy a reality is just too great.
After all, who needs an android when you can have the real thing?
Please note--this is a snappy little novella, only 20,000 words long. I started writing it long before the whole 50 Shades thing took off. I found it unfinished on my laptop the other day and found I wanted to know how it ended. So I finished it--it was a lot of fun to write. I hope you'll find it fun to read too.
Hugs and Happy Reading!
