"He married our mother. He entered our house. But the person he destroyed... was me." A family built on lies. A sister who watched in silence. A stepfather who crossed every line. And a confession that came far too late.

Lucas Cain didn't solve problems-he erased them. Quietly. Permanently. Then he vanished. Most people bury their past. Lucas Cain buried the ones who made his. Now he's back-returning to a city wrapped in neon lies and concrete secrets. Behind mirrored towers and whispered deals, monsters roam in human skin. Something ancient has awakened-something that feeds on joy and leaves no fingerprints. A broken oath. A missing heir. And the one name the shadows still whisper. In a city where even shadows are bought and sold, he's the one thing you can't own. And the rules? Gods stay silent. Monsters obey. But the Night? The Night remembers. And it remembers him.

Three years ago, Crown Prince Andrew of Avaloria vanished without a trace. One moment, he was the future of the kingdom-the next, a ghost in the wind. Despite endless searches, no one has seen or heard from him since. The royal family remains silent. The people demand answers. Veronica Neale has only known the quiet life behind the walls of St. Augustine's Orphanage. Her days are filled with books, whispered dreams, and the steady presence of her closest friends: Finn Harren and Levi Sinclair. But when Levi begins acting strangely-distant, guarded, like someone carrying a secret-Veronica starts to wonder if she ever really knew him at all. Then everything changes. A single discovery sends Veronica and Levi fleeing into a world of danger and rebellion. They're swept into the heart of a kingdom in turmoil, where a powerful advisor named Lord Vale is quietly tightening his grip on the throne, and the only way to stop him may be to uncover hidden truths. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Veronica must decide who she is, who she can trust... and whether she's truly ready to step into a destiny far greater than she ever imagined.

Misfits and Wildflowers is a series of short stories based on my highschool experience. "How I met my highschool sweetheart" is a compilation of 3 of those stories-Summer of 1999, The Homecoming story, and Y2K: New beginnings. Set in the school year of 1999-2000, a simpler time full of baggy JNCO jeans, Discman players, colorful fashion, and Y2K fears - Everyone lived in the moment 15-year-old Alfie is a shy and nerdy boy who is convinced he will never experience love the way his friends have, and will end up living the life of a monk. During Summer school, Alfie meets a peculiar girl whom he develops a huge crush on. Struggling to express any of his feelings, he ends up missing an opportunity due to unforeseen circumstances. Now entering the new school year, Alfie finds himself tangled in new feelings, old traumas, and the messy, hilarious chaos of adolescence. With a found family of punks, nerds, goths, and other social outcasts(affectionately known as the Island of Misfits), Alfie navigates crushes that sting, friendships that anchor, and breakups that echo through locker-lined hallways...until one day, he finally experiences that spark. This is a coming-of-age story rooted in nostalgia, honesty, and the kind of emotional growth you only get from falling hard and getting back up.
