    Genre: paranormal romance
    Plot: a man investigates the possibility that 'heaven' exists. He finds a woman who claims she knows it does. They dance around their mutual attraction as they battle internal demons and ultimately take a journey to see the proof that heaven exists via a doorway from this world into another. I'm currently editing it; otherwise it's finished.

    Genre: semi-erotic thriller
    Plot: book two for my female protagonist who saves a 'white slave' Russian girl only to have her murdered by the mob. My gal goes out for revenge while getting involved with a police detective and dodging a mysterious man who runs a security agency.

    Genre: not yet sure what it is
    Plot: a hit man who has retired (a rare thing) finds himself living a secretive and dull existence. He decides to get a hobby: offing the bad guys who slip through the cracks. Similar in some ways to 'Dexter' but he's not a sociopathic serial killer. I plan on making him a dry-witted dark comic that will hopefully make the reader laugh while he's doing his ill deeds.

    Genre: Young adult/paranormal mystery/love story.

    Synopsis: A young deli-worker, obsessed with the art of building any and all kinds of sandwiches, is convinced by his dead father to get a girl's number because it is their destiny to be together. He quickly discovers that his father lied to mask a deeper motive. The girl's family had the same fate as his own: death in a restaurant gas explosion, and his father's ghost thinks the she has evidence that will save both their lives from a murderer who is burdened with a century-old grudge. Our hero, sceptical of his father's theory, has to choose between exhuming his and the girl's painful memories to possibly find justice and peace, or revelling in the passion of a new love while burying his head between the slices of his old one.

    Several projects but at this moment a comedy/fantasy. A parody of the super heroes films using stereo typed dumb blondes as the heroes.

    Genre: Horror

    Synopsis: After a serious brain injury, a serial killer begins to feel empathy and guilt. She runs from her old life, taking a new name and trying to forget what she did. Years later, while she's getting closer to her next door neighbour who is so perfectly and painfully her type, the ghosts of her victims come back to haunt her.

    Cheesy I know, but that was intention. I like a ghost story every now and again. Thankfully I'm nearly finished, only a few chapters left and then I can get on with editing. Oh joy.

    Genre: Erotic/Romantic Fiction

    Synopsis: This is a follow up to my first fiction. This story deals with the lives of the MC's when their world is ripped apart in a way that stretches them to the limit. A couple of other characters from book one take more of a driving seat and a couple of new characters are introduced into the mix.

    There are moments of laugh out loud humour as well as moments that will make you cry.

    Hopefully, another rollercoaster ride that takes you on twists and turns whilst also indulging in a smidgen of hot sex!

    Genre: High Fantasy

    Writing a travel memoir of living here in rural Chile. I keep changing the title. Now its called "Dust and Dirt in Rural Chile" if you want to Google it. I want some feedback. Give me a critique of some small portion by commenting there and I will do the same for what you are working on.

    Genre: Science Fiction / Time Travel
    Synopsis: A young woman is recruited by a time-traveler to help stop an invasion of technologically advanced cyborgs from another time-line that are hell bent on destroying the earth as revenge for their own creation.

    The story alternates between the two time-lines with some of the characters represented in both.

    Genre: Unsure, what do you think?

    An adolescent is woken in the middle of the night by two men with handcuffs, transporters, hired by his parents to take him to a pray-away-the-gay camp in Montana for LGBT children. He loses his captors at the airport and is picked up by a taxi-driver who is working through his own problems. They spend a weird night in the city, picking up odd passengers, running into the aforementioned transporters, and ultimately learning a lot from each other.

    Second to the right, and straight on till morning.
    I'm working on a fantasy piece about demons and monks and their primordial strife.
    At the moment, I'm gleaning/inventing facts and mythology. I've realized the story should cover
    a very broad range of topics and themes, so I'm making a factual base for it.
