"I am your guardian angel." I considered her words for a moment as she stared forlornly at my cooling corpse. It had stopped bleeding. Too little too late, I thought bitterly. - Dogs Ongoing

Naomi's always been different, right from the moment he first met her, but not anything big. She's just stupid and witty and amazing and does strange things like wolf whistle old ladies and steal his granddad's false teeth like she's some kind of klepto. It's because she has all this confidence, like she doesn't know what to do with it, and Tom loves her for that, more than anything. But when some stupid meat-head stranger turns up, claiming to be her 'mate' and drooling everywhere, he might have to start asking himself what will win out; love or biology? And it's not a question he can answer easily, because maybe Naomi's biology's not quite as human as he thought it was and certainly her kind ain't as noble as they want you to think. 'Cos they're all just dogs, really, aren't they? - Beneath a Drowning Sea [On Hold] Ongoing

They had caught a being of pure emotion, of loathing and lust, a deity of a drowning sea. And they had trapped it the body of another. They had awoken it, and taunted it, and sealed it in flesh. - Silence Falls (Sequel to Promise the Sky) Ongoing

Maya Kurtis had always dreamt of vigilante justice and superhero status, it was why she signed up to the Sapient+ program to begin with. Problem is, this city keeps far better control over its superhumans than the places in the comics. Instead of sexy costumes and a name to strike fear into the criminal heart, she's just ID tag S+489002, additional details: translocation. Maya Kurtis, to put it quite honestly, is just another fancy police weapon in just another anti-terrorist squad. And then she meets him. Calls himself Card Shark, because it's not a gamble if you cheat, and when you're cheating the entire system, who better to ally yourself with than Maya? She’s an inside source. He's got the outfit, the name, and he certainly strikes something into her heart, even if it's not always fear. Sapient+ promised glory and recognition but they turned her into just another password protected computer entry. Is Shark about to be any different, or is he using her too? And doesn't a double life of villainy still seem a little too far from her original plans? - White and Red Complete

The city of Harborne is one with a troubled past. Its influence once wiped out an entire nation and, in return, it brought the wrath of the Dragon-Kin, of Bron and the Viper, down upon its walls. For over a year it survived, protected by the subtleties of its location, by the ocean and the rain, until its fate was eventually sealed by one of its own. In this world where everyone is born with magic, Edward Montgomery, who somehow had not a scrap of power within him, turned his heart to darkness and let the serpents through Harborne’s battered gates. And though this happened seven generations ago, there is still a saying in the city that survived Bron: “No magic leads to dark magic”. Which wasn’t a problem when Kiara was a child and could disappear from sight with nothing more than a simple thought. Only now she’s inexplicably crippled, with no magic to speak of, and the horizons beckon. She’s headed East, to the Mirror City, because they say a man can buy anything there, anything at all. And anything is exactly what she’d give to get her magic back. She’s willing to face dragons for it. Lucky, really, since Ben is tired of this power he cannot control, and he’s headed East too, to see if he can’t just sell his. **** Watty Award Shortlisted (Most Imaginative Setting) 2012 *****
