TO TUNE THE BEAST
It's 1928 in Coruscar, a multi-species nation founded by the Cores, crystalline creatures of music and magic whose original vision of an empathic utopia has been warped by a tyrannical human elite. On the eve of the Bicentennial, a singer is wrongly executed for class agitation—the victim of a conspiracy among the dead as well as the living. In this time ripe for revolution, the lives of Mica Kalekai, a thrill-addicted young aristocrat whose privilege as a Tuner of the Cores depends on her forswearing all emotional attachment, and Chalcy Greenglass, a commoner determined to possess, at any cost, the music that's been forbidden to her, are swept up in the rebellion of the Beasts everyone has taken for granted.
FAIRY OF DISENCHANTMENT
The poems in Fairy of Disenchantment represent Sun Hesper Jansen's passage through the underworld that is life with Multiple Sclerosis. Because MS never resolves, the journey is circular, a process of constant adaptation and transcendence that draws on personal histories, science and mythology, nature and magic, and above all, imagination.
AWAY FROM THE MACHINE
Lio gave up a lucrative tech career to become a barista in a quiet Midwestern town, hoping to heal from a failed relationship and a mental breakdown. When she befriends Nadiya, a patron at the café who recently went missing after suffering a mysterious form of blindness, she learns that her illness is a trap created by 'the Sublime', a host of legendary beings who have altered Nadiya to serve at Ji Wai, a tea house with a magical but cruel clientele. But is Nadiya truly in need of being rescued, or is there something in Lio's own repressed past and hidden nature that will give her the purpose she's been missing and a home at last?
