Blair Collins didn't come to the coast to fall in love. She came because her life back home cracked open, and everyone thought distance might fix it. She came quiet, awkward, and determined to keep her head down for one temporary summer in a town that wasn't hers. But summers don't stay quiet and the ocean doesn't let you hide. He's everything Blair isn't. Confident, reckless, impossible to ignore. A local who belongs to the shoreline like he was born from it. He was never supposed to notice her. And she was never supposed to want him. What starts as stolen glances turns into late nights, salt stained skin, and feelings neither of them planned for. As Blair begins to come into herself finding her confidence, her voice, her power she realizes something terrifying: Some loves don't ask permission and some summers change you forever. But when August ends, Blair has to go back to her real life and the ocean doesn't let you take everything with you. A story about first love, becoming seen, and learning that even temporary things can leave permanent marks.

Book 01 of "The Human Ache Series" A series of poetry collections Sometimes, life feels like a burden on our back, Being alive feels like way too much to handle But life comes back, forces us to fix the wreck, In the rain, we're forced to light a candle Then life throws at us an umbrella maybe once in a while, And turn around, it's just a mile Life is never an easy fence, Cause there's still pain in mere existence -------- "Except she never knew, Cause I let her have my heart to chew" - From 'Thank you' "One will live one's life as all for the others Others will give one's life to save a feather" - From 'Lover' "Cause how would it be if your daughter is mental?" - From 'Disappear' "Desperation is an art Cause there's no toy better than a broken heart" - From 'Tears' "Attraction is a sin, But murder is all keen" - From 'My God' "Love itself isn't actually unrequited, But the will to fight is" - From 'Wrong Time' "This world is weird, being filled with sins, they try to tell us we're sinners" - From 'Sin' "She buried it, Her emotions, Forever" - From 'A Child' First Place 🥇- Bloomera Awards (Best Cover) First Place 🥇- Petals & Pages Awards (Midnight Thoughts Awards)

Halloween is truly a festive time of year. Spooky stories, haunted houses and vampires that you can't help but thirst over because you're weird like that. That's why Hale Woodsen's inviting you to the Traitre Museum. You know, that weirdly atmospheric place near 86th, the one with the dome ceiling? Yeah. There'll be music. Shadows. Smoke machines. Candlelight that definitely isn't safe. Maybe even a Ouija board or two. Costumes are absolutely mandatory - don't come dressed like a civilian unless you want to be sacrificed mid-party for the aesthetic. For everyone has suffered a tragedy recently, the disappearance of Luca Almirez. For those who don't know (you're living under a rock), the basketballer disappeared a month or two ago, after the biggest game of his life. Nothing's been found about him, and to be honest? We're not sure if there ever will be. He was a best friend, a gifted sportsman, and overall a beloved member of society. Perhaps this is Hale's way of battling the grief. Since, you know, he was Luca's best friend. He's trying just as hard as everyone else to get to the bottom of this. His list of suspects is never ending, from Cady Lovaine to Ruel Cruz, to even Reverie Vale and Leslie Wilde. But they have hunches too, and so the story continues, dangerous and twisted. But that's not everything. If you want to get all the details, let's leave the Halloween party. Let's go to the 16th of August, where everything began.

The poems explore emotions, identities, and perspectives: some lived, some imagined, some observed.

This is about a bunch of different things, mainly writing advice. The stuff I write down in here is very blunt and things that I've thought a lot about. I am very open to suggestions and any other advice. I don't get offended... like at all. Also some of these chapters are quite long, and others are short. The type of advice I give isn't a step by step, it's almost like listening to a lecture. I will also happily explain anything that doesn't make sense. Anyways, I hope is everyone is staying safe, healthy, as well as having a wonderful day/night. MATURE FOR CURSING!!! I also put it as complete because eventually I'll run out of advice to give and I have no idea when that will be... so yea it's complete for now until I update it.

COMPLETE 🏆 8 Awards Winner 🏆 She didn't mean to fall for him. Especially not during a fake dating psych project. But feelings? Yeah, they're kind of rude like that. ......

Enter Callan Everett: football golden boy wrapped in a storm, too attractive for his own good, and her partner for an annoyingly intimate psychology project on relationships. It's supposed to be fake. Strictly academic. But when late-night calls turn into real confessions, and feelings sneak in where walls used to be... Thea has to decide whether love is worth the fallout. A story about grief, growth, and accidentally catching feelings with the one person who sees through your sarcasm. ...... 🥈Second place romance in author den awards 🏅Top three best couple in the Storyteller's crown awards
