There's only one rule: Never lock the door Gianna believes manual labor to be penance for the mistake that changed her life. Nothing can be worse than serving probation under the supervision of a bitter, elderly woman, known as the Caretaker, running a bed and breakfast in the middle of the Arizona desert. Then the strangers begin arriving. They appear every night at sundown at the end of the driveway and vanish early in the morning, armed men and women who don't quite look or act normal and never travel in vehicles, despite the property being twenty miles from town. Where they come from baffles Gianna, as does the single rule the Caretaker gives her. The front door must remain unlocked and the house accessible to the dangerous visitors no matter how unusual or frightening they are. When one of them arrives wounded, Gianna helps save him and unknowingly makes a powerful friend, one from a very faraway place. In fact, from another world entirely, the world that starts at the end of the driveway. Before she can learn more, Gianna is left alone with the strangers and must choose whether she'll take over the Caretaker's role as hostess or return to New York and risk jail time for violating her probation. Gianna defies the Caretaker and locks the front door instead. Her world will never be the same.

COMPLETED! When most popular girl at Riverbrook High, Mia Geredy, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, the entire school stands in shock. Her best friends-Jade, Ashley, and Diana, better known as the Holy Trinity -are squarely in the midst of flying speculations and whispered gossip: murderer, murderer, murderer. One week since deactivated, Mia's Instagram account mysteriously comes back to life with spine-chilling posts: coded threats, graveyard taunts, and inside information that only Mia and her killers could know. Riley, a self-described wallflower who happened to witness something three months ago, is brought into the terror. When Mia's testimony puts her in the position of being the only outsider with a piece of the puzzle, Riley must decide what to do: shut her mouth or sort out the mystery before the next "ghost" starts blogging. But there's someone watching-someone who knows more than they should. And when secrets are revealed and ancient whoppers rise to the fore, Riley asks herself: did Mia ever leave? One thing is certain. Dead girls don't post.

Ten years ago, something went wrong at Camp Mercy. It was written off. Forgotten. Buried beneath paperwork and silence. Now the camp is open again, just for the summer and a small group of counselors arrive believing they've signed up for an easy job. Campfires. Late nights. Inside jokes. A chance to leave real life behind for a while. They're wrong. When violence erupts, it's clear this isn't random. Someone is watching. Someone remembers. And the past refuses to stay quiet. As fear spreads and trust fractures, the counselors are forced to confront an unsettling truth: survival isn't about innocence, it's about choices. About who spoke up. Who stayed silent. And who paid the price.

||WATTYS 2021 SHORTLIST|| ||FREE STORY WITH PAID BONUS CONTENT|| Allison, the front woman of rising rock band Hell Flower, has been experiencing bizarre blackouts and other strange symptoms. In a fateful night after performing a show, she loses control and commits a crime she can't take back. On the run for her life and from the law, the race begins for Allison to find a cure for her curse before it takes her humanity, or worse, her life. The only ones who might know what is going on and be able to help are her parents. Too bad both of them are dead . . . or so she thought. *** This was my project for #NaNoWriMo2020 . The entire novel was written within a month, and I achieved my goal on November 30th. This is a spin-off to Make Them Scream. It can be read as a stand alone story; however, reading this before Make Them Scream will be a spoiler.

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.
