Summary
A tale for Christmas
Sudden prosperity brings good fortune and wealth to the Poldarks of both the Trenwith and Nampara estates just at the point Cary Warleggan planned to ruin the Trenwith side for good by calling in their loans and taking possession of Trenwith House from the increasingly dire financial circumstances Cary and his nephew, George worked purposefully to produce for them. The Warleggans' goal, gaining control all of the Trenwith assets, seems soundly dashed. Cary is vexed and George is convinced there is some sort of nefarious witchery afoot as all of their dastardly schemes are rendered useless from solutions that not only save the day but strain all credibility. Can the Warleggans find out the Poldarks' secret? Can they destroy it? Can they capture control over it for themselves?

Summary
A dragon brings six myths together. A Naga, who's mother was killed by hunters, a vampire who isn't quite sure of what he is, an avian, who is a reluctant prisoner of a system, a kitsune, who was left abandoned along with his ‘human’ sister. And lastly a little dragonet, who the dragon already had. All six against the world, and united in a share of experiences with hatred towards them.
Inspired by my first college class :)

Summary
Her life had always been the sea.
The depths of tide unwavering as she swam through unending stretches of salt, reef, sand and to her ever-growing curiosity—wreckage.
She and her sisters would explore whatever they could find—caverns, chests, barrels, and if they were lucky; long abandoned hulls of vessels. Grand warships, leisurely rowing boats, or even simple rafts; it was an evolving fascination.
Ships, fleets, marines, chartered courses, crew—what did it all mean?
The mermaid did not find her answer, until the tide turned. And with it—her fate.Series

“The tide’s coming in,” Frank says, like a dirty fucking mind reader.
“Yeah, I know,” Gerard says, nodding. He squints in the direction of the waves, which are noticeably closer. In another half an hour, they’ll probably be touching his shoes.
Frank’s looking at him. Gerard can see it out of the corner of his eye, a smear of raised eyebrow and those wide dark animal eyes. “That means you should probably move your ass,” he says slowly, like Gerard needs it spelled out for him.
