Vivaldi's Girls
Antonio Vivaldi's music has mesmerized audiences for three hundred years.
A less known story than his musical genius was the impressive figure that he was in Venetian society; the young, red-haired prodigy could make women swoon with the sweeping grandeur of his violin performances - especially after he traded in his priest's robes for the dashing attire of a celebrity.
Through the words of his lifelong friend, Domenico Trapensi, Vivaldi's Girls tells the mesmerizing story of Vivaldi's time as a music teacher at Venice's Conservatorio, of those who fell for more than just his violin lessons, and of his romancing of other girls on the road to the Italian cities in his time.

The Girl Who Could Change Fate

After Lacey is introduced to the Fate Changing Regime, her life turns upside down. A fanatical group opposing the FCR will stop at nothing to eliminate them. At the same time, Lacey finds herself trying - and failing - to ignore her feelings for the enigmatic Christian Angel.

The Fifth Commandment
After Christina breaks the Fifth Commandment, strange things begin to happen - and take her away from home in Normal, Illinois.
Now, she’s back and has to tell them the story within a story, but how can she make them believe? So she had made a mistake - but didn’t all teenagers do the same thing?
The Fifth Commandment is a supernatural memoir entwined with a plot drenching with old-fashioned religious guilt, and short enough to finish in a single sitting - perhaps lounging by the pool or sitting in the garden. The novella follows Christina into a confessional and starts at what we would consider our weakest point.
The point when we first admit our sin.
