Kristine Grayson's twisted worldview shows itself in these five stories of love, geeks, and happily ever after. In "The Charming Way," a nerdy Prince Charming falls in love with an Evil Stepmother. "Geeks Bearing Gifts" shows that even Greek Gods need computer dating services sometimes. "Name-calling," the most "normal" story in the book focuses on a woman who won't get married until she figures out what to do about her last name. "Knowing Jack," and "Artistic License," are a change of pace for Grayson-not Greek Gods, but grifters in lighthearted romances set in the old West.

"Grayson's clever, humor-tinged writing is absolutely delightful."-BooklistCrystal's mother calls her "The Unexpected Consequence of a Momentary Lapse of Judgment." Her half-brothers call her "The Unwelcome Visitor" because they didn't even know she existed until a few months before. Her stepfather doesn't even speak to her.Crystal's beloved sisters, Tiffany and Brittany, decided to move in with their mothers after their father, Zeus, tried to use the girls to destroy true love. Crystal did what she always does-she did what her sisters wanted. Her sisters have loving mothers. Crystal doesn't.Even though she lives in a beautiful Central Park penthouse and has a credit card with no limit, she misses her magic. More than that, she misses her sisters. She doesn't fit in. And she can't go home to Mount Olympus. She can't even contact the Fates. Should she ask Zeus for help? Or should she gut it out in "the real world" with no love?She knows what her sisters want her to do. She knows what her parents want her to do. Now, for the first time in her life, she needs to figure out what she wants to do, regardless of the consequences.Praise for Crystal Caves: "The second Interim Fates is an outstanding serious teen contemporary. The protagonist is the poster child for the original Maslow's Hierarchy as her biological, physiological and safety needs are met; but she lacks love and belongingness, esteem and self-actualization. Thus the storyline focuses once again on an outsider who fails to fit in after her fall from the top of the Pantheon to the bottom of an American high school, but Crystal has no loving support system unlike Tiffany. Crystal Caves is summed up in the immortal words of Yogi Bear: '...smarter than the average bear' but still don't belong here (or anywhere)." -Midwest Book Review

"Grayson's clever, humor-tinged writing is absolutely delightful."-BooklistBrittany misses her sisters-and her magic. After being fired from her job as Interim Fate-which she only had because her dad, Zeus (yeah, the Zeus), tried to get rid of true love-Brittany finds herself living with her mom and stepfather in someplace called Superior, Wisconsin. Oh, and her eight half and step siblings live there, too.Eleven people, one house, and a whole lotta new things to learn about. Things like snow and sunburn and, well, being mortal.But that might prove harder than she thinks. Because Zeus wants his daughters back. Three of them, anyway. The three former Interim Fates: Tiffany, Crystal, and Brittany.Tiffany and Crystal already made their choices. Now Brittany must decide whether she will fight for what she really wants-if she can even figure that out-or bend to the will of her powerful father and the allure of magic.Praise for Brittany Bends: "This is a completely new aspect of Greek Mythology. It's light hearted and fast moving and quite amusing....The author cleverly weaves the myths, the unhappiness and fitting into a normal teenage life with great expertise." -Long and Short Reviews
