Seventeen-year-old Seraphine Ferguson has always felt more at home beneath the shadowed canopy of Virginia's appalachian forests than among people. Patient, observant, and relentless on a trail; she possesses an uncanny ability to disappear into the wilderness and follow signs that others overlook. Those same qualities made her the perfect target for PredaSynth; a secretive organization dedicated to creating the ultimate apex land predators. After she is abducted and subjected to an experimental synthesis procedure, she awakens in the body of a silver-grey eurasian lynx. Stripped of her former life and renamed Umbra, she is released into Nocturne Range- a vast mountain wilderness hidden deep within PredaSynth's underground facility. The landscape feels real enough to fool every instinct; but beyond the false sky, bird-drones watch every movement while researchers quietly debate about what she is becoming. Unlike most lynx predaforms, she retains 63% of her human mind; making her both a breakthrough and a threat. As Umbra forms an unlikely cohort of other transformed predators, she discovers one of the four wolves is Eli; a friend who disappeared two years prior who she thought she'd never see again. Together, the two of them- and the others- search for the truth behind Eidra; the mysterious lynx who lived in Nocturne Range before Umbra. Hidden tunnels, forgotten dens, and subtle signs of human intelligence suggest Eidra was far more aware than PredaSynth ever realized. As the mystery deepens, another question becomes impossible to ignore: Why does Dr. Selene Veytris- PredaSynth's enigmatic leader- seem so determined not to erase Umbra's humanity, but to preserve it instead? Caught between a faction that wants her collared and controlled, another who wants to keep continuity with minimal interference, and a constructed wilderness designed to test every instinct she possesses, Umbra must decide whether she is still Seraphine or the lynx that she was turned into.

Hidden deep in the California valley is the Aves Department for the infamous C.R.O.S.S. Laboratories. Offered an internship this esteemed genetic research lab, biology graduate Aurora Hall felt like she was living the dream. However, she soon begins to question the commonality of all the locked doors and vague answers from the shady staff. When she finds an abandoned ID badge with access to the highly restricted Section 3, she can't help but take a look. What she finds makes her question why she was picked as an intern, and she is faced with a choice that threatens to uproot everything she knows about science, humanity, and even love. ▪️▪️▪️ I flattened my palm on the cold glass and held my breath. My heart raced as I watched him tentatively lifting his hand to reach mine. Then I saw it. A flash of white in corner of my vision. Turning my focus away from the man, I focused on the white shape behind him. Craning my neck, I tried to inspect it further but my confusion only grew when I recognized it to be a patch of white feathers. Wait...feathers? He must have noticed my gaze because his lips quirked up into a proud smile and suddenly the patch of white grew into an entire wing. No, not just one, two wings...and they were attached to his back. -Rankings- #1 in Creature 3/03/2021 ❤️ #1 in Beast 1/27/2023 ❤️ #1 in Subject 8/27/2022 ❤️ #1 in Dystopia 3/25/2020 ❤️ #1 in Laboratory 4/27/2021 ❤️ #1 in Science-Fantasy 4/21/2023 ❤️ #2 Young Adult 4/18/2023 #2 Strong-Female-Character 12/20/2021 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [NEW COVER 4/3/2021] [COMPLETED 4/9/2022] *WATTPAD EXCLUSIVE STORY*

*MERMAN ROMANCE* Moving from the warm beaches of Oahu to the rocky shores of Monterey, California was supposed to be a fresh start for college graduate Leilani Ono. However, as she starts working for the esteemed genetics laboratory hidden along the chilly California coast, she realizes that her attempt at escaping her past has actually thrown her deep into a web of convoluted lies, mad scientists, and the horrors of human experimentation. ~*~ Gripped with panic, I turned away only to come face to face with the very thing I tried to run from. I gasped, stumbling back. Its face was shadowed, but I could still see the outline of its features. Illuminated by the reflection of the stars, I could see the sharp jawline and steely eyes that regarded me. A face that, even in the dark of night, was distinctly masculine. "Why are you here." A chilling voice seethed from the shadows. It was as cold as the night around us, with a slight hiss that was threatening enough to send my heart racing even faster. ~*~ #1 in EXPERIMENT #1 in MERPEOPLE #1 in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1 in OCEAN The second book in the Species Unknown series. Can easily be read as a stand-alone novel but I recommend reading Book 1: Aves first for more context. *COMPLETED*

#1 in paranormal [20.11.2024] #2 in fiction [22.10.2024] #2 in paranormal-romance [2.1.2025] #4 in scifi-romance [14.11.2024] #5 in steamy [14.1.2025] ✅️Updating ❗️NOTE: The story takes its time to establish a rich, complex world before the main characters meet. It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest. I do not own the original artwork; I have only added the title and a few design details.)

Fay is a secretary in a scientific research facility. To everyone around her, she's forgettable. But behind her silence is a perception sharper than the systems she serves... and far more dangerous than anyone realizes. Sirius is an alien kept behind reinforced glass, studied like an anomaly and treated like a threat. He doesn't speak. He doesn't cooperate. Not until her. And he will tear through every sealed door, every armed guard, every rule of human science just to make sure she stays his.
