A mythical creature stalks the Pacific Northwest. Only a shepherd of Nasci can stop it. Ina's sarcastic attitude has gotten her into a lot of trouble over the years, but her magical gifts from the goddess Nasci have always kept her safe. Like her fellow nature wizards, Ina commands the basic elements-fire, air, earth, and water-directly from her fingertips. But when a cryptid monster with a Medusa gaze preys upon the Oregon coast, Ina can't stop the horrific massacre of animals she's vowed to protect. Her mouth only makes things worse when game warden Vincent Garcia believes Ina to be the poacher responsible for the endangered corpses left behind. Caught between a secret society that shuns human civilization and law enforcement gunning for her arrest, Ina must draw upon a forbidden power. Will summoning lightning defeat this mystical beast, or will the storm destroy Ina first? Chasing Lightning is the first in an action-packed urban fantasy series that reveals the hidden magic lurking in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.

The book Lycoris Radiata is a poetry book. Book filled with emotions and experience. It is a journey of how the feelings and emotions within oneself leave you for the better or worse of you. Happiness, sadness, anger, hatred, and many more within ourselves, which we dare not express, have been expressed for you. Lycoris radiata, or the red spider lily, is a flower that blooms during late summer or autumn, often in response to heavy rainfall. Some legends have it that when you see someone that you might never meet again, these flowers would bloom along the path. Just like that, once the poems are jotted down on paper, they become their own selves, leaving behind the one who wrote them to never be met again.

To walk outside is to dance with death— and Kitieri Manon knows all the steps: Don’t stand out. Don’t make friends. And, when the warnings start, run as fast as you can. Every day is a fight for survival in a world terrorized by the deadly lightning they call the Blue Killer. The Churches call it divine punishment, but Kitieri has only ever known the good to suffer. It’s easy for the elites to preach, hoarding the life-saving cintra while the poor die in droves. As the Strikes grow increasingly violent, Kitieri finds herself a walking target. She can smell the lightning coming before the warnings, can feel the malice in the air. The Blue Killer seeks her blood. It calls to her. To answer that call, Kitieri will risk everything. Lives hang in the balance as she is swept into a network of deceit, corruption, and betrayal running deeper than she ever could have imagined. With blood on her hands and a target on her back, Kitieri must come to terms with who and what she is before she loses those she holds dear. If she cannot control the part of herself she hates the most, the lightning will claim more than just her life.

Closer to perfect is a poignant novella of both love and bereavement. Trying to recover from a loss of love, the narrator takes on a precise routine to the most minor detail. Weeks deep in this routine, he finds himself sitting at a café and notices someone not part of his monotonous flow of life, a beautiful woman. A successful writer, he builds a narrative around their potential meeting. First, he weaves a "happily-ever-after" fiction, quickly followed by a second creation that depicts the quintessential of a "love-gone-wrong." In creating these two tales, he realizes he has two choices; he can take a chance and meet her, or he can be content with imagining how perfect she might be. She could be as perfect as the first tale of love, or she could be as dreadful as the second tale of disappointment; but either way, the choice is his.
