Facsimile
By: Erin L. Snyder
Imagine meeting youself. Imagine being able to experience what others see and hear when they talk to you. With modern profiling software, you can. AuroroTech records your actions and transforms that data into a lifelike simulation. They can create a facsimile of you.
When Persephone Kilard signed up and strapped on the recorder, all she wanted was a social networking service that would take the actual work of socializing off of her hands.
The simulation was only supposed to be her reflection, not her soul.
But something has gone wrong, and Persephone is confronted by a digital copy with a will and agenda all its own. Whatever their differences, they’d better come to terms quickly, because somewhere in the code a simulated ghost is watching them. The virtual danger is becoming all too real, and both versions of Persephone must uncover the truth if either is to survive.

For Love of Children
By: Erin L. Snyder
Santa Claus, a former bishop who achieved immortality through magic and alchemy, is torn between a desire to help the world and a need to control it. At best, his gifts are symbols of generosity; at worst, they are tools of manipulation.
The tooth fairy is the last of her kind. When her race was taken from the world she remained, unwilling to leave the children she loves. She is alone, hunted by Father Time, who seeks to rid the world of childish things.
Peter is neither a rabbit nor a man. His memory is fragmented and uncertain. For centuries he has existed in secret, hiding from mankind and himself. Once a year he emerges with the spring, leaving painted eggs and straw baskets for the children of a nearby village.
Set in the aftermath of World War II, "For Love of Children" is a dark fantasy novel whose characters are drawn from a mythology of nursery rhymes and fairytales.
