Up until she turned 15, Emma's life was ordinary. Living in Los Angeles, she had a few friends, and loved learning history. She had a fascination with magic growing up, but after elementary, she moved on from the foolish idea, learning the hard way that magic isn't real and that it's only a lie Hollywood had fed her. But her whole perspective shifted again after the passing of her grandpa. She discovered that he had kept a secret from his whole family-that he once was a warlock. He had given up that life when he moved to L.A. in the 1970s, but Emma and her cousin Carolina are determined to learn every trick in the spell book he left behind. Fast forward to a year later, Emma's life takes a new turn. During junior year, a mysterious new student from San Bernardino catches her eye. He's mysterious, intriguing, and mostly keeps to himself, but why? It's what she wonders every day when they cross paths. Who in Glendale would want to be so secretive, anyway? Bobby Staten-that's who. Due to Bobby's classic leather jacket and dark aesthetic, Emma and her friends constantly joke that maybe he's a vampire and that's the secret he's hiding. It's no longer funny when a series of gruesome killings occur at Verdugo High, described by local officers as a bloody mark found on the necks of the victims. Strangely, this same pattern had appeared earlier in spring at a San Bernardino High School. Coincidence? Rebecca, Emma's other cousin, thinks not. Rebecca quickly suspects a connection and begins investigating Bobby's past and persona. As Emma befriends him, she struggles to believe that someone like Bobby could be capable of crimes so vicious. Rebecca reminds her that one of the only ways to permanently kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart-in much more poetic terms, heart right through Verdugo.

Simply a little Christmas songbook with my festive original lyrics for the holiday season! :) I wrote my first ever Christmas song on actual Christmas Eve 2021 and that was actually the start of my debut album 'Sweet Misery'. Although the Sweet Misery aesthetic is now far from winter nights, I've continued to add a few more Christmas songs throughout these past few years, no matter what the songwriting era was. Whether you love Sweet Misery, Faded Daydreams, or Tainted Illusions, this contains the vibes of all three and the best part is it's wrapped in Christmas aura!

"Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next year, you caused it to break- and no, I don't care if those aren't the exact lyrics George Michael wrote. And no, I probably won't have someone special this year. " In which five teenagers in Los Angeles find themselves consistently in love and/or heartbroken each and every Christmas season. Three stories in one: TIS THE DAMN SEASON that Isabel and Harry stumble upon the same issue again and again. Harry prefers white christmases- life in general- in New York... but could Isabel be the one sole reason to move back to their hometown in Silver Lake, Los Angeles? Or is this just another case of wishful thinking and delusional deja vu? Can the holiday season stir up some bold decisions to once again ignite their true love? LAST CHRISTMAS and every Christmas after, Emma gives her heart away to loves she deems as 'someone special' but it always ends in heartbreak the following year to come. Will this cycle ever stop? In a world full of Bobbys and Cindys and Heathers, it sure doesn't feel like it. Well, at least she got to write a song or two about it for her future chart-topping albums. ROCKIN AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE, two laidback misfits in disguise ( Angel and Sophie ) roam through the facades of their parents expectations of what their future ideal careers should be. When the holiday season approaches, it only brings the two together, closer then ever, willing to take any risk when the materialistic doesn't amount to the support given to one another in a world that feels so cold.

"I'm miserable and nobody even knows!"

❝Love looks great on the screen, press rewind and repeat, but what happens behind the scenes? Once the cameras off and the crowd is gone. Tell me, is love just a facade that looks good? Do you love me here in Hollywood? ❞
