    About this ebook

    A collection of starter books for science fiction, fantasy, and/or horror series. Seven stories in all.
    Shades of Gray #0 Aadea's Reawakening and
    Shades of Gray #1 Noir, City Shrouded By Darkness:
    A doom was looming over the planet, a great darkness that could bring about the Closing of Days. Two women would be brought together... One was a legal assassin or Life Closer known as the Phoenix and the other was an experiment known as the Pandora Project who would either bring about a Twilight that would be the first rays of dawn or a Twilight that would usher in the darkness forever. Follow these women as their paths cross.

    AabiLynn's Dragon Rite #0 Dragon's Brood:
    Travel where dragons have been part of the world for millenniums. Enter a realm where riders are paired with dragon hatchlings to raise and care for them and to form a bond like no other.
    Useless... Unwanted... Unloved...
    When those closest to you see you only as a useless crippled child with no hope of a future, where do you find the strength to prove them wrong?
    No one believed in Cara-AabiLynn, not even her own father and the woman who raised her. Born with a stunted arm and leg, those who she loved the most saw her as worthless and withheld their love from her. Given to a cruel man to cover her father's gambling debt, Cara's life of uncertainty became one of certain hardship and despair.
    In the first story, candidates assemble to participate in the Dragon Rite, a ceremony to bond with a dragon hatchling.
    Cara has a chance to break free from her harsh life and bond with one of the dragon hatchlings only if fate will allow her.

    Beauty of the Beast #0 The Mystic Rose- Alba and
    Beauty of the Beast #1 The Mystic Rose: Part A: The Flower, The Sword, And The Kiss:
    A new approach to the classic fairy tale. The story of Beauty and the Beast with a twist. What if the woman was the one turned into the creature?
    A realm of adventure and peril mingled with romance, friendship, and sword and sorcery. Join Pluck as she travels through a strange land of danger and intrigue as she finds allies and foes alike in her search to lift her monstrous curse. A story like Beauty and the Beast but with more action and menacing darkness.

    AaBack's Grimm: Dark Fantasy Fairy Tale #1 Tale Of Two Worlds: The Wizard, The Battlemage, And The Werewolf:
    The fairy tales you know with a wicked twist. Enter a deadly world that could use a little hope and love.
    A woman, Jane, who seems out of place in her own world is transported to a world of fairy tales. All is not happy endings for the world of AaBack's Grimm holds a dark and deadly secret for Jane.
    In our world, Jane has lived life as if a curse has been on her, her entire life. As an artist, she has created artwork of many fairy tale characters, but her favorite is the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. When she enters the World of Grimm, Jane comes across the Beast, and she's instantly struck with a need to help him. What Jane doesn't understand is that his curse is nothing like the ones in the fairy tales.

    Monster of Monsters #1 Part One: Mortem's Opening:
    Light and darkness...
    All Kein wanted was to be devoured. As an orphan, she had been told since joining her school that it was very important that a house or clan devour her so when she met a creature promising to devour her, she was confused at first but then she was consoled that someone wanted her.
    A world of monsters and a world of humans...
    Loneliness can be a very strong emotion but it can also be a very strong motivator so even when a creature of the darkness invited her to come to her, innocence heeded the call. Kein began an adventure of heartache and joy as she walked the paths of shadow and light. She would discover what it was to be devoured as a dangerous game drew her into a deadly realm of wishes, revenge, hope, desire, love, and horror.
