Same day, without fail, a body would turn up or a new report would be filed. Every year, they added a new point on their map, starting with the year their father vanished. Cana never knew her father, but that didn't stop her from wanting to find him. But looking for the dead often turns up secrets, and it just so happens the secrets surrounding her family run deeper and darker than most. Plunged into a world of shapeshifters, monsters and unsympathetic allies, if she's getting out alive Cana must play by a new set of rules, detached from her own reality, a set of rules her father held close to his heart. An ancient nightmare has awoken, threatening her life and the lives of those closest to her. A Dreamer must be willing to gamble everything to fulfil their duty, and its a game Cana can't afford to lose. *Sporadic updates whenever school allows*

An #OpenNovellaContest (#ONC) Ambassador Pick! Eleanor and Lydia, book 1 Armed with knitting needles and a fantastic playlist, Eleanor and Lydia set off to solve The Mystery of Novak Manor. Eleanor Albright is a spritely ninety-year-old ex-detective with more than a few skeletons in her closet and a grim determination to keep them there by hiding from the world. Her great-granddaughter Lydia is twenty-two- years old and sorely misunderstood by the world. After all, just because a girl dresses in all black and listens to My Chemical Romance doesn't mean she lacks vision or hope. Well... maybe hope. When Lord Novak calls Eleanor from his castle in a tiny, beautiful Eastern European nation with a desperate plea for help, she agrees, with mixed emotions, to come out of retirement and she talks Lydia into serving as her assistant. Now the two women must find the truth about the fearsome ghost that's haunting Novak Manor before the "ghost" finds the legendary secret treasure with the power to bring the monarchy to its knees.
