I love it so much. You have made a better book in 7 chapters than most people on here can do in 30. ~U2fanatic I didn't like it. I loved it! Oh my gosh, that was just- there are no words to describe it. It felt like I was on an amusement park ride, I swear. I couldn't stop reading it. How dare you make me binge read? :P You are such a brilliant writer. Wow. Just wow. ~Darkelitechief I honestly think it was an amazing story. a great plot twist; I finished reading it a few minutes ago, and I still cant wrap my head around It! amazing job. I rate it 100 out of 10! ~Shaxnas I think I'm eternally scarred by "They call him Lucius". How someone came up with that is a mystery but nonetheless, it was written awesomely and somehow managed to get a lot more detail in seven chapters than any other 30+ chapter book I've read on here. Great job!

Book Three of the award-winning Undone Realms Series! Clara and Nolan have been living happily together in their hotel-sized pocket realm for almost a year. But is everything truly all right now? Clara has her doubts. Something seems...off to her. This feeling only intensifies when a stranger shows up at the hotel. He can't see them, but he seems to know they're there. The day Nolan split himself in two, he leaves the hotel with a goal in mind and an empty place in his heart. It doesn't take long for all of his plans to be tossed to the wind. Rather than the Canadian border, he finds himself crossing into an entirely new universe where he unwittingly becomes part of a multiverse rescue mission. Avie is in exile. From her daughter. From Marcella. With Oliver and her family gone, Avie is forced to live out years in a world that has grown increasingly hostile to everything she holds dear. Her only desire is to survive long enough to be able to return to her daughter. But when a dangerous man shows interest in her, she fears all of her efforts will end with a noose around her neck. Interconnected stories in multiple realities; escapes, rescues, murder-all converging in a climax that may save one world while destroying another. Welcome to the conclusion of the Fold Series!

2014 WATTY WINNER!! (Collector's Dream Award for being one of the most want-to-read stories of 2014!). A Wattpad Featured story, and a Summer 2015 #WattpadBlockParty featured book! Undone Realms series: bk. 1 Out of countless realms in the multiverse, Clara is trapped in one that won't let her breathe. Her life consists of a hotel in a tiny pocket universe overlapping our own. Population: one. She doesn't know how she came to be there, how she can exist without breathing, or why she can see into the breathing world, but no one can see into hers. Nolan doesn't know any more about parallel worlds or pocket universes than Clara does. Running away from his abusive father, he finds work at the hotel. Depressed, Nolan wants to disappear as much as Clara wishes to be seen. There is little hope that they'll share anything beyond a palpable loneliness until the morning the barrier separating their planes of existence is breached and for the first time, Clara's unseen world is made visible. As Nolan is slowly drawn into Clara's breathless reality, he must decide whether the love of one person is worth crossing into a world that may never let him back into his own.
