Scrubber is a cyberpunk, neo-noir about a young woman, Elly, who is a freelance "scrubber" --a hacker that receives anonymous commissions to illegally delete watermarks on AI-generated media. When her smartdevice pings with a gig that seems too good to be true, she quickly realizes she may be in over her head.
The book takes place in the alleyways of an urban metropolis, Demos, that hums with neon pink, green, and blue at night. Elly connects with a few characters throughout her mission, including Lance, leader of the werewolf sect, "misanthropic lycanthropes". Also, the immaculately dressed, Dan Dan, who is like a living and breathing porcelain doll. But Elly isn't taking any chances or pulling any punches, she is sure to leave a trail of recordings in her wake in case the long arm of the law, or worse, the eyes that seem to lurk in the shadows, threaten to put a stop to her at any moment. In the end, these recordings may be Elly's only hope.
C.A. River presents Sea of Waking Dreams

Losing over one hundred pounds seems like an impossible dream, but she and her husband, Ryan, are ready to have children. Determined to confront the childhood trauma that contributed to her unhealthy relationship with food, Karina returns to her memories to seek healing, and begins undergoing a magnificent metamorphosis of mind and body. Karina and Ryan's bond is strong and promises a long life of passion and happiness. However, as Karina navigates her new identity, they face unexpected challenges that rock the foundation of their marriage. When Karina and Ryan's cousin unexpectedly develop a spark a year after her surgery, she finds herself torn between her loyalty to Ryan and her growing feelings for Blake. As she is forced to question her beliefs about love and commitment, she faces an agonizing choice. Will she stay committed to her marriage or take a chance on a different kind of love? And will tragedy derail Karina's progress toward transformation? In this captivating voyage through love, healing, and self-discovery, a woman's journey to weight loss leads her to decide what she truly wants-and who she wants to become.
