Hourglass: Drina is a young boat captain whose current goal in life is to find a man to be her soulmate. Some of the folks she meets on this adventure are quite interested in Drina's companionship.
Unfortunately, Drina is attacked by petty-criminal modern-day pirates. She and her new friends pursue the pathetic pirates with the intent of extracting revenge. Drina's father taught her that revenge is infantile.
Tom Shine: Ben Barton is chased off the mainland by a gang of local mobsters. While hiding on a remote island, Ben befriends Tom Shine. Ben and Tom join forces to deal with Dr. Z, a Swiss scientist who believes that if you feed humans to lobsters, then eat the lobsters, you will be able to regenerate lost limbs. Best not to stray near the lobster pound.
My Sister's Tea Room is about two sweet young sisters who take up residence on an island near the island where they grew up.

Speed kills, and that's what's in the tea ~ Methamphetamine. “I’d like another cup please.”
