his skin shed sable dust that flared bright one second and vanished into thin air the next. he coiled and stirred on the sand like a snake waking from a deep winter slumber, his second layer pale as moonlight spider strands. he was of no age. nothing of time nor chaos weighed down his long frame. his startling coal eyes sleepily met corban's and the star smiled at the familiar stranger.

Zoey knew there were stories about the catwalk. Everyone had stories about it. Things like that - dark, old, abandoned things like that - collected stories. They collected ghosts like a child collects baseball cards. Everyone you talked to could tell you a different ghost story about the old train bridge. But the only stories Zoey knew to be true were the girls. The jumpers. But what other stories about the catwalk were true? What really happens when you walk out on the bridge at night? Maybe it's something Zoey would be better off not finding out. -- Awards -- 🥇1st place in short stories, The Monthly Elimination Awards (July, 2017) 🥈 2nd place in short stories, Royalty Awards (August, 2017) 🏅 Winner in horror, The Flowers Awards (2017) 🥇 1st place in short story, The Freedom Awards (2017) 🥇 1st place in short story, The Tick Tock Awards 2017

***WATTPAD FEATURED Nov 2017*** Penniless, hungry, and stranded at a truck stop just before Christmas, Jane Johnson has few options. So when rescue comes in the form of three Kentucky hillbilly brothers--two of them mute--she reluctantly accepts. When they hire her to paint a dilapidated nineteenth-century hotel in middle-of-nowhere Nebraska, she expects nothing more than a few days' work and a meager paycheck. Instead, as the days turn into weeks, she discovers the true renovation is taking place within the brothers--and herself. Initially drawn in by the men's unexpected kindness and droll humor, she's mystified at their reticence to discuss their past. When shocking revelations about their family entwines with her own, she questions all she knows about her history. Soon she must decide if digging for answers is worth tormenting the men who befriended her. "The Marvels of Prairie Creek" is the first installment in a romantic women's fiction serial featuring the most off-the-wall leading man you'll ever meet. If you like slow-burn romances, wry-humored men with mysterious pasts, and true-to-life characters, then you'll love Lynne Mickley's witty tale of life in a small Nebraska town. ***Iron Lace Awards 1st place winner, The Monthly Elimination Awards 1st place winner & Grand Finale winner***

How much can lives change over the course of a high school football season? Just to clarify, we're talking about American football (the sport, not the band), aka gridiron football (or "retarded football", as my friend from another country would say). Not soccer football. Frankly, I don't know much about either. Hopefully, we can ignore that fact and still enjoy the story.

***First place winner for Paranormal category in the Tick Tock awards.*** Changed by an alchemist in the 1800s, Johem Hawke is now immortal. If he had not been in a blind rage at the time of his transformation, this may be a good thing. Unfortunately, the crystal placed within his chest cavity, not only gave him the ability to read a person's consciousness, have excessive speed, strength, and advanced intelligence, but also froze him in his current state of hatred. Johem loses his ability to feel. Changing his name to Draven Hawke, the statesman continues to hunt down men, like the ones who took his wife, for the next 200 years. Draven's only solace is to wipe out what he perceives as evil. Autumn is a kind woman who has a troubling life. Living on the streets leaves her open to many forms of trouble. When she sees Draven killing a man, who was trying to harm her, she cannot find any fear of him within her; only awe. Determined to know the man who saved her, Autumn follows and confronts him. When these two lives come together, Draven begins to remember some of the qualities that made him human. Still unable to feel emotion; he has an inexplicable need to try. Something about Autumn grips the crystal pulsing within him, her virtue reminding him that there is good in the world. Behind his confusion, he holds desire, and it is that desire that can destroy them both.
