Special Notes: The first in the Cethien series. Also: SLASH. Don't know what that means? Don't read. Simple, ne?
Summary: Ryuven of Issi didn't ask for anything that happened to him during the gang wars. All he wants is to put the past behind him. That's when he meets Pyrian, and suddenly he's in the past again, in a darker world he remembers all too well. Pyrian may or may not be the sixth god of Cethien, but that's irrelevant. The fact is, whatever he wants, he gets - but never in precisely the way he wants it. It's up to Ryuven to save himself and Pyrian from the slaughter they both know is coming - but neither of them ever expected to fall in love. And, because this is Cethien, after all, add in a healthy dose of carnivorous unicorns, vampire sheep, and extremely hyper flowers.

But when a series of strange circumstances land him in a desperate kingdom with a vaguely-magical sword just when the real Chosen One sinks into a coma, the official Mentor, Fingolfin, appoints him Chosen One until further notice. Never mind that Ryuven is a mathematician with a severe phobia of females. Never mind that his chronology is thoroughly screwed up. And never mind that he doesn't want to be the Chosen One, he just wants to go home. He's got to make everyone believe that he is the Chosen One. Just one problem...what exactly does a Chosen One do?

Genre: Fantasy, along with everything but the kitchen sink
Rating: PG-13 [fantasy-style violence, language, character death]
Summary: Such a huge project, it gets its own page. The series follows Talarine Merikk, mage-in-training in the land of Khammiron, and the only person powerful enough to deal with the terrors that face her land, including the Dark Queen Cetaena, flawed government, wildfires, war, and, again, everything but the kitchen sink. Only with the help of her teacher, Nuremil, and her friends will Tala be able to handle it all, and even then she might not survive. Linguist, healer, mage...it's a tough life, especially when everyone expects you to be a hero, as well. Note: this series is the home of Naodrith, my namesake.

Summary: The town of Aleander is haunted, haunted by a one hundred and fifty year old curse. They know that for thirteen days of every October, they are in danger of losing their souls. And they know that the secret they keep can't be told to anyone else. So when Ryan, Sara, and Andrew Jackson move into town with their eccentric grandfather, they get a chilly reception and many attempts to drive them away before October 18, thirteen days before Halloween. But it's hard to get rid of the Jackson family, and on a dare on the eighteenth from their frustrated classmates, they enter the "haunted house" in the graveyard and accidentally awaken an ancient evil capable of destroying the world. It can't be killed until Halloween night, when it becomes vulnerable until dawn, when a ritual can make it immortal and invincible. It's not happy, and it won't rest until all of Aleander lies dead. The Jackson siblings first of all. They have a simple plan: survive until Halloween nightfall, and they have a chance to kill the creature and the other denizens of the night. Die...and the world is lost. And with it, everything that matters. Like friendship, and family, and loyalty, and the truth...although those things might already be lost...

Summary: The land of the Sanpong is in danger. The creatures of the Yom'dai Forest are preparing a final attempt to escape from the approaching darkness - which means, of course, entering the humans' land and slaughtering them all.

Sadly, their motives are often at cross-purposes. If they don't kill each other, it's possible that they'll be able to stop the darkness and make everything go back to what passes for normal among the Sanpong. But it's not likely.

Genre: General
Rating: PG [violence, mild language]
Summary: In Catherine's neighborhood, all the kids play a Game, almost all the time. Sometimes it's war, sometimes a fantasy, and once in a while it somehow becomes a power struggle between the boys and the girls. But hey, they enjoy it, and everything is going great...until a kidnapper apparently shows up in town, and they're forbidden to play after dark until he's caught. Horrified (no playing on summer nights?), the kids decide that this injust decree has just earned the adults a place in the Evil Empire - and Catherine's father is the Evil Overlord. Their plot to overthrow him sends the Game soaring to new and dangerous levels. Hey, like they say, it's all fun and games...

Title: Sandglass
Status: Pending
Genre: Action
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Sandglass. It's the name on everyone's lips, the hot new virtual reality game. It's all the rage in Eurasia, and now America has it, and all the kids are raving. One hundred levels, dangerous and different and fun. The problem is that no one ever wins. Well, until Lexi and Alec start playing.
They're siblings, and they hate each other, and hate their parents, and have no social lives outside the game. In other words, typical teenagers. Their teams are rivals, but they're both winning, with only ten levels until the conclusive battle. But now they're in danger. There's a bug in the system that could kill those using it, if they die in the game during the last ten levels. Unfortunately, the peril is discovered while Lexi and Alec are playing, and they can't get out without tremendous risk to their health. Someone must be sent to protect them. And who better to keep Lexi and Alec safe until they win than their parents? After all, John is a top computer programmer who understands the logic of these games, and Calista is an expert on the mythology that the game employs. So, they're sent into the game with a simple mission: keep their children from dying until they win the game, the only safe way to exit.
Sounds easy. But Sandglass isn't your average game, the myth monsters don't behave like they should, and with every level the danger increases. In the end, it's not whether you win or lose.
Oh, wait. Yes it is.
