Rain's Works in Progress

Chem-Punk Sci-Fi/Fantasy - first in a planned series

Comps: Alice in Wonderland meets Six of Crows

Status: Complete and longing for a sequel...

SATC is a fast-paced, brain-bending portal fantasy about Wren, a stressed-out insomniac who discovers she can dream across dimensions—and just in time. Slipping into a new reality means a chance at an otherworldly cure for her terminally-ill father but, when offered a blossom-based remedy in exchange for taking part in a prison break, Wren has no choice but to risk her life for his.

Stabby Sapphic Sci-Fi/Dystopian - stand alone

Comps: Fallout meets Unpregnant

Status: In the query trenches...

EG is a gritty, cut-throat SF/dystopian about Jules, a take-no-shit outlaw who accepts a contract to transport a woman cross-country in exchange for doses of a life-suspending drug. But when she discovers her cargo is pregnant and desperate for an abortion, Jules risks it all in a harebrained blackmail scheme in hopes of securing both the drug and her companion’s bodily autonomy.

Sapphic Cli-Fi - stand alone

Comps: The Last of Us meets The Power

Status: Rewriting draft 1-->2

Blurbier blurb coming soon, but here's a start:

After a phytovirus evolves and eliminates half the world's population, survivors are divided into two groups: Insiders, uninfected bunker-dwellers, and Outsiders, those who've turned to grafting themselves with virus-resistant plant material to survive. Chaos ensues when the former begins farming the later for their virus-resistant organs.

Paranormal Mystery/Horror - stand alone

Comps: Mexican Gothic meets Good Girls Guide to Murder

Status: Draft 1.5 is staring down the barrel of a rewrite...

Blurbier blurb coming soon, but here's a start:

Think Seven Brides for Seven Brothers without all the sugar-coating. No boot-scootin' sing-alongs to cute-ify abduction, no frilly skirts and to cover up the true terrors of Stockholm Syndrome. Five women go missing every five years, and Maxine better figure out why soon, or she could next.

Contemporary/Magical Realism - stand alone

Comps: A Man Called Ove meets The Lake House 

Status: Draft 3 is napping, zzzz...

Blurbier blurb coming soon, but here's a start:

June had it all—the book deal, the house, the hereditary disease that killed her father... That’s why this story isn’t about her, it's about Kasper, the spouse left behind to detangle both the threads of June's unfinished trilogy and those distorting her mysterious disappearance.
