El & Em
COMPLETE!
Philadelphia, 1972: All Luke wants is to share his music with the world. When an imposing, slightly older trumpet player called Emmett joins his band, Luke is fascinated – and a lifelong friendship is born. Love and loyalty are forged in the slow burn of tours, shows and recording sessions. Over the years, Luke’s curiosity and Emmett’s indulgence slowly push the two of them into complicated new territory. Emmett tries to keep them safe – but Luke wants it all.
In this monumental romance spanning more than twenty years, there are no heroes and no villains – just people doing their best in a messed up world.

Wings, Flings, and Demon Kings
A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator...
NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the moment she finally turns her life around.
That is, until she meets...
AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, in demon terms, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade.
But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human.
Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.
