The Neon Garden. A place where blaring neon lights, rickety slum-towers, the excesses of corporate princes, and furious fists of martial arts masters crash and collide. Sworn to abide by no laws but their own and to defy corrupt authority, the knights who fight with supernal martial skill face the challenge of trying to attack megacorporations too entrenched to topple. It is a war fought in the shadows between bright neon signs, in a city where the streets are watered with the blood and sweat of living cogs crushed under a corporate feudal hierarchy. The Neon Garden is a short story collection featuring sixteen stories set in the titular city, balancing the ideals and conventions of wuxia with the despair and grime of cyberpunk.

"What is wrong with this city? If it's not wicked sorcerers, it's greedy necromancers. And if it's not either of those, it's ruinous cults or demons lurking in ancient ruins.""At least the food is good." Makai. City of Shadows. City of Nightmares. City of Demons. A city crumbling under the weight of its own history, and where forgotten relics of an unfathomable past linger just below the streets. And a city where everyone, from the dirtiest pauper to the fattest merchant-prince, has a problem that can only be solved with violence. Min and Kei are two women, warriors both and learned in different fields. They are also problem-solvers, martial artists living Makai that get paid to look into problems both mundane and supernatural. And solve them with the language of unarmed combat. This book collects the She-Devils of Makai short stories originally published online and rearranges them in their chronological order. Delve into a sword & sorcery world with influences drawn from East Asian cinema.

Seventeen more stories of women who love other women, set in a fantastical world of mysticism, spirits, samurai clans, and the heavy toll of war.

Every relationship has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Beginnings, Middles, and Ends is a lesbian short story collection that is made up of fifteen relationships. Each story is a snapshot, peeking in at a particular moment in their story. Some of them are at the start, that first meeting or how the ice was broken. Some of them are at the end, some of them peaceful and amicable, but others with a little more conflict behind them. And some of these stories are in the middle, showing a relationship in progress or at rest.
