A book of snippets and short stories.

A random compilation of my more serious poems. I do not own the cover or the chapter pictures.

Seventeen year old Haven Cross is surprised one night to find her parents arguing with a strange woman in the back alleys of Raleigh, NC. She wonders who this lady is and why she seems scared for their lives. Within days of their conversation, her mom and her are on the run from a mysterious man named Gabriel and his powerful followers. Haven enters the secret world of the Gifted, where she learns that her parents' pasts were all but the truth, and that ignorance is no longer the bliss it used to be. I do not own the cover or the chapter pictures. The story line is completed, however, the editing process IS on hold, so please excuse any plot holes and various flaws contained within. Criticism welcome, both negative and positive. Thanks for reading! Tentative editing, sorry

A collection of radically random rhymes that rarely have reason. Some are speckled with startling insight that sometimes makes sense, surprisingly. I do not own the cover or the chapter pictures.
