Now a 3 Part Serial
Blue Brennan is as
intelligent as she is beautiful, but she knows when people look at her, all
they see is a pretty face. With no family or friends, she also knows she’s
alone in the world. She tells herself she’s fine with that, after all, the only
person you can trust is yourself.
Then she meets Kasey,
an unusual and oddly appealing man who sees right through all the barriers
she’s erected. He reveals himself as much more than an ordinary man through a
strange vision, and introduces her to his equally extraordinary friends.
Kasey insists that Blue
is one of them, but she resists, too scared to let herself become part of
something.
Going back to her
lonely existence, she finds herself more alone than ever. When her emotions
take over in one terrible moment, the powers she denied rage out of control,
and she realizes the only person who can help her is Kasey.
But finding him means
finding herself. Is Blue ready to face the truth about who, and what, she is?

3: The Last Dance
Rose Shababy and her family reside in eastern Washington State. Rose grew up in the Northwest but swears she’s going to move to warmer climates someday. She’s claimed this for over 20 years, however, and has yet to move more than 75 miles away from her mother.
Rose has a deep love of all things Star Trek and yearns to travel the heavens, as well as an intense desire to be bitten by a radioactive spider.
Unfortunately she sucks at science and math so she hasn’t been able bring her dreams to life, instead living vicariously through books, comics, television and film. She hopes to someday make a million dollars so she can afford to buy her way to the international space station, but she’d settle for being able to fly around the world and leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Rose also loves to cook and worked for years in a gourmet Italian grocery and deli where she learned to hone her skills. She prepares culinary masterpieces for her family, but fervently wishes the dishes would wash themselves. Especially now that her dishwashers/children are nearly grown and only one still lives at home.
Rose likes to use her free time wisely. For instance, she likes to daydream, will often read for hours until she falls asleep on the couch with an electric blanket and a warm tabby cat curled up on her hip, as well as spending cozy weekend days watching Syfy movies like Sharknado and Mega Piranha with her husband.
If Rose were a cartoon animal, she’d prefer to be a wise old owl or a sleek and sexy jaguar, but in reality she’d probably be a myopic mole with coke-bottle glasses.
