TRÉMEUR “TRAY” DUCHAINE is a Louisiana Bureau of Investigation agent who is exceptional at his job, but for reasons beyond the ordinary.  Haunted by a viral infection from  

his early years, let’s just say his investigative skills, supernatural skills even, are most utilized at night, with daytime no longer an ally.  Tray is not alone in his fate, however; his entire Vampyrian community shares in his predicament. “Vs” are what they are nicknamed, and their reentry into society is in large part dependent upon Tray’s  success. Along with his new non-V partner, Tray untangles a web of secrets tying his own community to a rapid string of heinous murders, their efforts suddenly in jeopardy.  Tables turn when both Tray and the woman he loves, also a non-V, are caught in the web’s center, Tray being the one framed for the most gut-wrenching murder of them all.  Now on the run, straddled between humanity and post-humanity, his quest for innocence begins.

How much of a hero’s actions are derived from bright wisdom?  How much from dark rage?  Eight supernatural and super-heroic short stories show just how thin the line between is:      

The Gorgon Strain:  Nila finally meets the man of her dreams, hand-delivered right in her midst.  But isn’t this when all the outside interference begins?  Amidst the drama, she is now forced to reveal a family secret a little too soon.

Dark Wrangler: Dennette has a job to do, one that requires staunch objectivity and brutal execution.  She considers her internal fortress impenetrable while at work, and sometimes while she’s not working, until her judgement is clouded by one hell of an amusing character.

Those Consequences:  After returning home from the war, Delroy only has one thing to look forward to:  his relationship with Tasha, the love of his life.  But has Tasha changed while he was away?  A risky game they play goes awry, taking one of them down a path of no return.

There’s Something About Roberta:  Roberta, a paramilitary team leader, considers herself a perfectionist; mistakes are not built into her psyche.  Yet a critical one now jeopardizes not only the mission, but everyone’s survival as well.

A Man Named Dalton:  Dalton has a chance to stop an assassination, to become the silent hero who alters history’s future.  But the forces of evil are unyielding, stifling Dalton in ways and from directions he never imagined.

A Brand-New Gig:  A new secret service agent is highly equipped for the job.  However, for one of her first assignments, she has to decide whether or not to protect a high-ranking public official, one she knows is corrupt to the core.  

Night of a Young Spider:  Hiroshi returns to face a past he thought he’d never see again.  A trip back to his old neighborhood leads to a showdown with the odds against him.  The perfect time for him to call on a childhood hero for help.

The Tragedy of Bahati Ambimbola:  From the chapters of “The Case of a Night Detective,” Phoebe Artreaux gives a chilling account of Bahati Ambimbola, and how her tragedy transformed her to become the queen of who lives or dies.

Imagine a world where feelings are computer-programed. Now imagine them programmed into a lifelike machine. The life of an android spirals out of control once she's recalled as obsolete. Now retired from paramilitary duty, only Roberta's creator can rebuild her to AI-completeness, the most human-like of all droids. But she finds being human isn't all it's cracked up to be. It's confusing, erratic, at times, downright humiliating. But with help from loved ones, she discovers how to navigate this thing called life.  Yet things spiral out of control when one of those loved ones is abducted, taking Roberta on an adventure that uncovers secrets of international proportions. Meanwhile, only saving her friend will make Roberta's life complete, but she has to call on something far more than humanity to do so.  A killing machine is needed, and Roberta comes ready-made.
