BLURB:
Blue
There’s a lunch thief on the loose in my office, except he only seems to be stealing my lunch. Oh, I know who it is… But for “reasons,” management refuses to do anything about it.
When things escalate one Friday night, an attractive stranger comes to my rescue. A cute, teddy bear of a stranger that is making me want to cuddle and call him my own. I only have a first name to go on, but surely I’ll be able to track him down with enough determination.
Henry
His unique design sense, bright colors, sparkly jewelry, and colorful hairstyles grabbed my attention from the moment I first saw him a year ago. He’s held it ever since.
When I interrupted a nasty confrontation in the men’s restroom on a Friday evening, I finally learned his name and discovered that he’s even more beautiful up close than from a distance. Waiting one weekend to see him again feels like forever, but I’ve waited this long, and I already know that he’ll be worth it.
Now if I can just manage to help him vanquish his bully, maybe he’ll notice me in return.
Glitter is a standalone story featuring an outgoing scientist who loves experimenting with his creative style, a quiet engineer who loves building creative things, and a love story that blooms in an office lunchroom. Oh, and one very important cat who thinks the whole tale is about him.
EXCERPT:
My angel was crumpled on the floor in the corner, his knees hugged to his chest and his feathered wings crushed at an awkward angle. I almost expected to see him crying, but nope. When I looked into his eyes, they burned with fury.
Hesitantly, I approached him like a caged tiger, my hands slightly out in front of me. My immediate instinct was to ask him if he was okay, but I knew he wasn’t. How could anyone be okay after all of that? So, instead, I softly asked, “What can I do?”

about the author:
Kayla is a budding new Australian author who feels incredibly lost when needing to talk about herself (especially in the third person), preferring to let her stories speak on her behalf. When she’s not writing, she can usually be found on the couch wrapped in a blanket burrito with her head in a book. That type of existence suits her introverted heart well, much to the chagrin of her extroverted relatives.
She freely admits that she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing, but she hopes she’s at least learning as she goes. She’s thankful that you’ve given her story a chance and hopes you enjoyed it.
