Traded, as if she was no better than a piece of property. Gova Dov doesn’t know what to expect, but it can’t be as bad as the abuse she’d received at the hands of her last master. Gova has never known kindness like Muam. She soon learns she can trust him, but can he trust someone like her? He’s told her she’s free to leave, but does she want to go? Does he even want her to stay?
Muam Kai works hard to earn his living, and payment in flesh won’t exactly buy his next meal, but he can’t turn the abused girl away. However, he’s no slave owner.
When Gova’s past comes back for her, Muam vows that no matter what happens to them, they will always have each other. Always find each other. In this life or the next.
It's a dying promise that would prove to be a curse on them both."

"We ran away, but it didn’t solve our problems. Now, we’re going back to fight for Aristede.
And oh, yeah—there’s also the small matter of toppling Rayth’s corrupt younger brother from the Utrean throne, so we can remove the bounty on our dragons’ heads. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
As the king’s eldest son, Rayth grew up expecting to rule. Instead, he ended up disgraced and exiled. When he unknowingly stumbled upon the last five dragon eggs in existence, using the creatures to take back his crown was the last thing on his mind.
All that changed after Rayth’s brother Oblisii murdered their father and stole the kingship. With that fateful blow, what started out as a simple rescue mission to find our lost comrade has become something much more.
We won’t be safe until Oblisii is dead, and dragons are once more protected in the land of Utrea. To make that happen, we’ll have to risk everything in a desperate gamble to control the throne.
In the end, I just want my family back. I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen.

"First Contact has never been easy.
Despite the rumors, the US Government has been able to deny First Contact with an alien race for decades, but with good reason: it hasn't happened yet.
When a strange signal comes from an isolated area in the forests outside of Seattle, they find that First Contact is not going to happen with big ships and grand world-wide messages. Aliens, it turns out, like to keep their existence quiet.
Nick Logan, Seattle's resident alien, wants to tell his human wife the truth about himself. He just happened to land too close to a military base from his last trip. Now, telling her the truth has become way more complicated than he anticipated, stuck behind a glass wall and with the military between them.
The Librarian is a contemporary short novel set in Washington State and dealing with first contact with an alien species unlike anything else in modern science fiction."
"They’re the last five dragons in existence. To survive, they must form soul-bonds with five noble humans.
Too bad they’re stuck with us instead.
Once, the dragonriders of Utrea patrolled the skies on the backs of their massive war-beasts. Now, only a handful of the extraordinary creatures have escaped eradication by a vengeful king. Without soul-bonds, the remaining dragons are mere wild animals, vulnerable to the army’s harpoons.
No one in their right mind would choose our motley group of rogues and misfits to save a dying species. The angry drunk. The shameless womanizer. The coward who ran away and got his comrades killed. The ice-cold assassin for hire. And me, the girl with abandonment issues as deep and wide as the Southern Sea.
The five of us came together by sheer chance, and most days, we’re lucky to keep ourselves alive.
We're all so different, we shouldn’t work together. A lot of the time, we don’t. And yet, every once in a while, I get a glimpse of what might be, if we manage to move beyond our difficult pasts long enough to become the family our dragons need. The family all of us need.
I left home in search of romance and adventure. Instead, I stumbled into the middle of a desperate struggle for survival.
Five people. Five mythical beasts. If we succeed in making it through this mess, it’s going to be a miracle."
"How to thank a man for having your back?
Or two men, for that matter.
Skyler is a rookie in his mech unit and far from Terran, deep in Kijaghri space. After seizing a Kij transport as lawful plunder, Skyler and his two veteran teammates take some much needed R&R in the Kij ship's luxurious captain's quarters.
Through rogue mech attacks and space-side patrols, the mech triad bonds into a cohesive unit, on and off the battlefield. The bond between the veteran men, Aarnie and Val, is strong — something the inexperienced Skyler yearns for.
Through battle and sweat, will these three men be able to turn their battle bond into a lasting union?"
"Two races, one universal language.
Taken from her ship and crew, Kozue is forced to attempt to form bonds with a single male of the warrior Menin species whom mankind has encountered.
A mysterious outcast, Amnay keeps to himself, spending more and more time in the company of his new concubine. Inside her quarters, she is safe with Amnay, but there is turmoil building outside, a danger which Amnay appears to be caught up in.
Will their newly-formed bonds be strong enough to unite the two species, or will the unrest tear them apart?"
"Never Been on Broadway is a romantic short story about the reality of fame and about how far away from reality the famous can be. The story follows the first day of Evelyn Alford's first ever trip to New York City.
We meet her working actor cousin Eric Freeman, a young man trying to balance an ever-growing fame with the humble beginnings from where he came, Johnny Edwards, a man born in the spotlight but an actor bordering on irrelevancy whose play opening that night marks a critical juncture in his career.
The allure of Broadway, the millions who come each year seeking fame but the few who truly understand the luck and the randomness involved. Never Been on Broadway goes behind the closed dressing rooms doors and shows the true fears and attitudes of today's stars living in a 24 hour social media world.
Evelyn, while suffering misfortune in her own life, provides an inspiration and strong female lead character who has never played the victim and continues to see things half-full; she represents the best of America, a country that does its best when it has been knocked back on its heels.
Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers."
