What if the next big drug was you?

Lucid is that next big drug.

It gives its user the ability to sense and control other people’s bodies. Scientists and drug dealers seek its power. There’s just one catch. This drug can’t be made in a lab, only by the rare person’s body.

Raleigh is an anomaly who makes an extraordinary amount of Lucid. Now she’s being hunted for the drug in her veins. She finds and unlikely ally in a boy named Rho, who also makes the drug, but he isn’t what he seems. His origins are unusual and his past tainted.

Nothing is straightforward and no matter what she chooses someone will get hurt. Raleigh’s learning that Lucid isn’t the drug she thinks it is, nor is she the girl everyone expects.

About the Author

Kate Tailor

According to Kate Tailor, "My first job was building planes, my second working with worms, my third, snug behind the pharmacy counter." Now she spends her time at a messy writing desk with two sleeping cats and dozens of stories scrawled across scrap paper.  She has been writing stories in her head (and sometimes murmuring them under my breath) since she was five. Over the last few years she committed them to paper. She writes the  stories that she wanted to read, but never found. If you’re looking for something interesting, she hopes you’ve found it here. Besides writing, Kate loves her husband, kids, and cats (less so on writing days). She also loves the mountains, rain, cappuccino, worms, board games (not monopoly), and friends. To learn more about Kate (and her writing because let’s face it you probably don’t care about the worms) visit her website at katetailor.com.

Twice Upon a Crime

When Hollywood burns you, it’s time for a rewrite.
Fiona Moore is done playing nice with Hollywood. A former screenwriting star now sidelined by ageism and a biting sarcasm problem, she finds herself jobless, friendless, and left with only her dog and an impressive stash of disdain for the industry that’s ditched her. Enter Jack Reynolds, a bright-eyed, thirty-year-old film student with a boundless love for classic cinema—and a very distracting smile that makes Fiona question if a twenty-year age gap is really such a big deal. Despite her attempts to keep him at arm’s length, Jack is determined to help Fiona reclaim her place in the spotlight, and together they embark on a passionate, if snark-filled, quest to write the next great blockbuster.

But when their hard work is stolen by a sleazy Hollywood producer, Fiona and Jack decide to go off-script. Armed with a screenplay about the perfect crime, they set out to pull off the heist of a lifetime—one that’s clever, classy, and just this side of legal. As their partnership heats up on and off the page, they’ll discover that while Hollywood may be all about illusions, their feelings just might be the real deal.

Fast-paced, funny, and full of twists, Twice Upon a Crime is a madcap caper that will leave you cheering for this unlikely duo—because revenge is sweet, but falling in love is even sweeter.

 

The Long Goodnight

We’re not troublemakers. We’re trouble finders.
Step into a world where shadows hold secrets and cryptids rule the night. Ruby’s dream of exhilarating adventures takes a spine-chilling twist when she becomes an apprentice at The Goodnight Agency. But the supernatural underworld she thought she knew proves far more treacherous—and thrilling—than she ever imagined.
Goodnight is a hub for all things enigmatic and bizarre, a haven for creatures straight out of tabloid tales. Yet, as Ruby soon learns, mysteries are not merely stories. When an innocent old woman narrowly escapes murder, Ruby becomes a suspect .

Amidst the chaos, Ruby finds herself entangled with the Skohlars, a clandestine race of intelligent rats, entrusted with secrets potent enough to reshape reality itself. And as if that’s not enough, a group of kidnapped Sasquatches unravels a feud among The Scene’s own Guardians, leaving the agency in a perilous struggle.

The Long Goodnight is a pulse-pounding adventure where friendships are tested, mythical creatures come to life, and the line between reality and fantasy blurs.
