Forced into long skirts by her strict grandmother, 19-year-old AJ finally breaks free of captivity, plunging into the wild world of New Orleans for college. Soon after classes begin, she meets Volo, a gorgeous grad student with black eyes, a shining smile, and a charmingly bold personality. He lures her into a dazzling world of sex, beauty, and danger. When AJ is kidnapped by his deviously greedy uncle, she and Volo embark on a whirlwind game of cat and mouse. They flee from Paris to Tangier to Geneva, and AJ falls deeper in love with Volo. But something isn't quite right...and her unraveling nightmares hashed out in her watercolor paintings appear more and more real. A modern re-telling of Dante's Inferno, THE DEVIL'S TANGO will trick you and turn you in just as many directions as the devil himself may try. THIS STORY IS DEFINITELY RATED R FOR SEX, LANGUAGE, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, REGULAR VIOLENCE, and DRUGS. That means 18+. This story helped me deal with a lot of shit over the last couple years, but that means it sometimes gets pretty dark, and not like Blue Moon fantasy- actual, realistic dark that might make some people feel uncomfortable.…

Since the death of a loved one, Thea, now sixteen years old, has been consumed with the thirst for revenge against the sorceress Neidra, who has taken almost everything from her. She has grown stronger and will stop at nothing to reach her goal, but she will need the aid of those she loves and the culture of the people she is a part of if she hopes to have a fighting chance against Neidra and her formidable armies.Over the past year, Thea has been vigorously training under Loki, practicing her fighting and her magic and becoming so strong, Loki can scarcely beat her in a sword fight. She has been drawn to Asgard more and more, feeling its allure in her veins. But when Neidra's trickery sends her and Loki fleeing from Asgard, she knows it's time to fight back. Neidra's army is strong, and if Thea wants to counteract it, she and Loki will need an army of their own. Thankfully, there is one to be found, if Thea and her friends are willing to cross Asgard's high seas to procure one. Along the way, the Avengers and their companions become tied more tightly, as Thea and Jack's romance turns to passionate love, as Kyle and Emmaline find peace in their tender family, as Loki opens his heart to an old flame, as Videl hunts down both Caomh and the quest to save Ardhigiza from ruin, and as families come together. In the end though, the fate of not just Asgard, but Earth and Ardhigiza as well, will be decided in an epic final battle that will test everything Thea has prepared for in her warrior's heart and completely turn her from an alienated young girl to a powerful sorceress and a princess with a heart of iron and fire. *"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves."-Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar…

It's been a really lonely summer for Thea, what with Jack away at the Volare camp and not speaking to her, and Peter with him. She's spent her time practicing her powers, taking special tests for Umber Academy, and messing up the occasional date.What's more, Neidra is still on the horizon, raising an army in order to take the Asgardian throne, and threatening everything Thea holds dear. While at Umber Academy, Thea tries to push these thoughts and troubles away and focus on being a normal high school student. Thea knows how to fight sorceresses and monsters, but the world of bratty girls, high school classes, and scorned love, is a whole new fight for her.But being "normal" is never part of the equation at Umber Academy, although Thea is even less than normal. And everyone around her seems to have a secret. Jack, with new powers of his own, is pulling away from her. Loki is still in prison.And Max is keeping something from her, something she with all her powers of manipulation can't get out of him.All of this sends a spiral into Thea's world, a torrential storm that can only end in turmoil and the thirst for revenge.…

Thea is relatively happy now, living in New York with Max and Kyle. She and Jack go to the same school, and they go to Panera Bread every afternoon to do homework, and both of them are beginning to have feelings for each other. She goes to Stark Tower often, to train with Clint, and Natasha if she's there.Although, it is a little hard to keep up a steady appearance when Thea is still reeling from Loki's reveal, and how he had yelled hatefully at her before imprisoning her with his secret and sending her on her way.And when Thea, stubborn, slightly willful Thea, breaks her vow of silence, Loki is even more infuriated. He kidnaps her back to Asgard, where Thea meets someone that will haunt her for a long time: Neidra, the cruel and powerful sorceress that has somehow intertwined Loki's heart with her own.Neidra has a plan, and it starts with tearing apart Loki and Thea.It works. And now, Thea has only one person she can trust, one person she can rely on as she begins to run, run away from her past and away from her true nature. Videl.

* a novella, or short story*Thea isn't doing well.Since the tragedy of "Three Tasks", the thirteen year old has spiraled from bad to worst. She refuses to let anyone in, barely sleeps, barely eats: she's a human ghost. But when Kyle catches her putting a knife to her own skin, he draws the line. Thea is sent, very unwillingly, to Asgard in hopes that there, she may find peace. The problem is, Thea's hatred for Loki has only increased. And she no longer accepts that she is beginning to think of him a brother or, more likely, even a father. While Loki, Thor, Peter, and the rest of the gang tries to reach her, she keeps pushing them back, putting up a wall between them and the world around her. Loki, however, is the only one who has the keys to Thea's heart, but he is still not completely sure how to use that key. And he has secrets of his own, secrets that he knows will threaten those around him, and threaten the one he loves most in this world: the little green-eyed girl who had collided with his world. "Ei Diafol" is as much as about the growing bond between Loki and Thea as it is the struggle with both of their inner demons. But of course, as it is so often with Thea, happiness is only ephemeral. ....Look into her eyes........It's where her demons hide.......Don't get too close........It's dark inside........It's where her demons hide.... ....It's where her demons hide...Rated PG-13 for: Infrequent language (d*m, h*ll, a*s), occasional amounts of emotional/fantasy violence, and allusions to self-harm…

Thea has never believed in vampires. But then again, she had never believed in demi-gods or superheroes or aliens until six months ago when her home and her life was destroyed by the invasion of the Imeldi. But her belief is about to be changed. She is getting used to living with Max and Kyle, and even beginning to enjoy it, although school is a hassle. She is relieved to go back to New York, at least for a little bit, even under saddened circumstances: the death of Gwen Stacey, Peter's girlfriend. While she's there, she and Jack rig a portal, where she hopes to travel to Asgard to visit Leah. But something goes wrong, and instead, Thea is tossed into a room with a stench of death, and a fanged creature named Videl. Videl forces her on a journey of Three Tasks so that his kind, the Velah on a distant, hidden planet, can come back to power. Thea turns to the Avengers for help, and the team comes together to accomplish the impossible. But Thea is in for a lot more than she thinks. And she begins to realize that perhaps time and the cherishing of it is the most precious and challenging gift of all. "Three Tasks", the action-packed sequel to "Blue Moon" offers steadfastness and loyalty, heartbreak and courage, and most importantly, the gift of family, whether by blood or not. RATED PG-13 FOR: spattered language throughout, moderate violence, and occasional innuendo*UNDER CONSTRUCTION* I hate how some of the book is extremely vampire-y and too much for me, so I'm backing up and re-working some characters, especially Videl. Go ahead and read it, if you want though!…

Arrogant, foul-mouthed, mercurial Victoire Brigham isn't in the best of moods- but then again, she rarely is. Her adopted parents are lying to her, her best friend is going through a crisis, and the pain in her jaw is agonizing. One night at the Santa Monica Pier, a fortune teller who calls herself The Woman of Antiquam tells Victoire that her entire life has been a lie. Annoyed, Victoire dismisses the woman and goes back to comforting Giovanna, babysitting the twins, and trying to figure out her feelings for Dean Calen. Until one night, her temper snaps and she sinks her fangs into someone's neck. And then, Victoire learns that she is a Velah. Running from a past she didn't know had, Victoire throws herself into a scavenger hunt following the sinister lines of childhood nursery rhymes and bringing her to one beautifully foreboding abandoned building after another. Each song brings her closer and closer to her true heritage, but each song will threaten one person in her life whom she cares deeply about in a twisted game of matching. "Blood Eyes" is the first novel in "The Crimson Chronicles", the sequel trilogy to Sierra Daniels "The Emerald Chronicles". It focuses on a more gothic and creepy genre, but retains the world-creating, suspense- building, character-inspired series that launched "The Emerald Chronicles" forward. Rated PG-13 for: bloody violence; suspense; language; brief sexuality Coming Fall 2016…

Within twenty-four hours, thirteen year old Thea Fossil's life has been turned upside down. She arrives home late one night to find her astrophysicist mother dead, and she and her little sister are wounded by a mysterious poison from an unknown race of aliens called Imeldi. The next time she wakes up, she is in a SHIELD base, and is surrounded by a crowd of unusual characters that wary Thea has a hard time trusting, particularly when she has just been orphaned. There is Thor, the compassionate yet slightly intimidating Asgardian, but she considers him too eager to please. Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton both are too shadowy and curt for Thea to put her faith in. Tony Stark, she finds humorous, but at times self-centered and bossy. Dr. Banner, Thea admires, but his own dangerous secret is known to her. And Steve Rogers is far too upbeat for Thea's generally pessimistic liking. And then there is one other person. Someone with a tongue of wit, a personality of iron, and a mind as complicated as Gordian's Knot- just like Thea. Someone who knows how to soothe her fears just as quickly as he knows how to get under her skin. The person that is perhaps the most untrustworthy, but whom little Thea may begin to trust the most. Loki. But even if Thea can begin to trust, and to work as a team, the threat of the Imeldi is still potent and long-fingered. Thea must learn to control her new powers, her temper, and her hidden fire if she wants to survive this. Particularly because the Imeldi want two things. Global revenge. And Thea. RATED PG-13: For interval language (d*mn, as*, h*ll) and violence.…
