Sometimes, family finds you.
Mitzy, Miki, Bandit, and Z all have one thing in common: their queerness. In small-town California, they find each other, forming a found family in an abandoned house they come to know as Out House as they navigate the harsh realities of being displaced and alone.
​
But survival is never easy. As they grow closer, they face the weight of their pasts, the challenge of healing, and the constant threat of a world that doesn’t understand them. OUT is a raw, honest story about love, community, and finding strength in the people who choose you.
The Aging Ceremony decides who lives—Aella decides who fights.
Every year, the Aging Ceremony decides who among the nation’s twenty year olds are worthy of survival. Now twenty herself, Aella Brixby must travel to the capitol: Erebus City, where the Madame President will either see her light or sentence her to an unspoken fate. As a child from the Elm, Aella has long lived outside of the capitol’s reach. Her family has suffered from its hands, though, taking six of her siblings in the ceremony. Now, it’s her turn.
​
But then, Aella escapes and finds herself in the ruins of Project 10, a decaying remnant of a forgotten city expansion. Hunted and desperate, she discovers unlikely allies and a glimmer of magic tied to the Elm, and herself. If she wants to survive, she must do more than run and hide. She must fight.
Sadie Nguyen swore she'd never go back.
At fourteen, a tragic horseback riding accident shattered her world. She left her family's Idaho farm behind, starting fresh in Los Angeles. Now thirty-four, she's built a life she loves—including a growing crush she's not ready to leave behind.​ But when a deathbed request from her estranged father asks her and her brother to save the farm that nearly broke her, everything changes.​
​
Returning means confronting old wounds and a past she worked hard to forget. But staying in LA means turning her back on the first home she ever knew—and maybe even the person she used to be. With the farm's future in her hands and love tugging her in two directions, Sadie has to decide: fight for the life she's built or go back to the place that shaped her.
