~Are you afraid of Monsters?~ For as long as she could remember, Angelica Foster has wanted a family. Bouncing in and out of foster care, she had long since given up the idea of her real family coming to rescue her and instead turned to making her own family. And she almost got it. She had the serious boyfriend, the cute little house, the good job and good friends she'd trust to take care of any future children if something were to happen to her. And then ~it~ showed up. The monster in the shadows that followed her everywhere constantly asking her to be her friend. Angelica was certain she was going crazy and did everything she could to get rid of it. Priests, holy water, voodoo rituals, but still it wouldn't leave. When Angelica's boyfriend can't handle what's going on with her and breaks up with her, she's determined to hold onto everything she has left. So she decides to play this monster's game... quite literally. Now Angelica has the house, she has the job and she has a supernatural roommate and is collecting more as time goes on. But having monsters for roommates brings a whole different kind of problems. Like how to feed them, how to keep them from bothering the neighbors with haunting shenanigans, and, how suddenly she's getting more and more visits from local police. Angelica is going to find out that family is what you make it. And monsters, well, they need love too.

[Sequel Being Written] Everyone knows what to do in a zombie apocalypse, find shelter, get a weapon, stock up on supplies. Evelyn Duncan has it all. Her house is impenetrable, stock loaded with weapons and supplies, and it's one of the only places that still has running water and electricity. It even has a moat. Evelyn Duncan, however, does not like people, does not share, and always travels alone. Melissa Burrows is at the bottom of the totem pole. The unwilling leader to what is left of her group of survivors, she is determined to find them a safe place for them to call home. No more hiding in abandoned buildings without running water, no more rolling blackouts when transformers go down, no more scrounging for supplies in a world where supplies are more then limited. If she can take out Evelyn and take over her trade deals and her house, she, and everyone she's responsible for, would finally be safe. But she isn't the first person to think of that. From random citizens to the leaders of the new social groups, everyone wants a piece of what Evelyn has. But there's a reason why everyone's scared of her and why the people who challenge her disappear. Melissa is about to find out why. Accolades: 🥇 1st place winner: Philosopher Awards 2023
