Terror. A dimension mirroring the living one--but morphed to reflect the imagination of its Overseer. And the current Overseer... has refused to relinquish her power for centuries, tormenting her souls--"terrors"--into becoming... zombies. Arielle finds herself in Terror, desperate to find her best friend, Jade, to resolve her business, and to figure out a way to claw back up to the Void and maybe, MAYBE, slither into the Soul Realm, where she belongs. And Benny, poor Benny, he only wants to understand--is he dead? What's the Void? What's Terror? And--oh, come on, why are there zombies here? On their final trek towards the truth, Arielle & friends will jump through fiery hoops--literally--and slip on a few bloody puddles on their way. They'll hide in safe-zones and see the sky burn; but really, the ultimate question remains: will Arielle manage to locate Jade and tell her how she feels? • WARNING: this book is rated MATURE for handling triggering, sensitive issues, and for gore & horror. There will be jumps, screams, and heart-palpitating moments. Proceed with caution.

Death. What happens after it? What lies beneath the surface? Poor Arielle Daniels stumbled through dangerous hoops to figure this out. She wakes in a new place--the Void--and discovers that what waits after death are layers, dimensions, and sadly... more questions. Even with her new *friend*--that she nicknames THE GHOST, for lack of any other way to describe her--she feels alone, abandoned, afraid. In the living world, Benjamin "Benny" Brooks, knowledgeable in the occult and familiar with paranormal activity, can't crack the mystery behind her death. Or Stella's. Or even... Jade's. He and his FBI agent friend Kylie are on the scene, scraping for clues... and no matter how prepared they think to be, both will get much more than they bargained for. Will Arielle get her ultimate answers, at last? Will she conclude the business that's holding her in the Void? And will Benny finally show the world ghosts are real? • WARNING: this book mentions AND deals with suicide, but DOES NOT endorse it. PLEASE BEWARE. It is rated MATURE for that, among other triggering, sensitive issues. Proceed with caution.

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK for August 2021** *FEATURED IN THE "CHILLS AND THRILLS" READING LIST ON WATTPAD'S "Paranormal" page!* **FEATURED ON WATTPAD'S #PrideatWattpad READING LIST** Can we understand what happens after death by summoning ghosts? And are ghosts... real? Twenty-two-year-olds Arielle Daniels and Stella Sullivan go on an east-coast ghost-hunting tour to honor their recently deceased best friend, Jade, whose death remains a mystery. Only her parents know the circumstances, and they refuse to tell anyone. Stella wants to pay her respects by following Jade's bucket-list; but Arielle wants real, palpable answers. What happens after death? Why has she lost so many loved ones? And how exactly did Jade die? In the midst of their journey, Arielle realizes she might have been in love with Jade, but now... she has no way to be sure, and no idea how to reveal this to Stella--or anyone else, for that matter. As they travel, the girls discover more about themselves than they anticipated, both forced to come to terms with their emotions; Arielle to accept her bisexuality, and Stella to acknowledge her heritage as the descendant of a long line of psychic mediums. But the trip takes on an eerie tone when they get more than they bargained for, and swallow up more occult knowledge than either ever expected to find in their lifetimes. • WARNING: this book is rated MATURE for handling triggering, sensitive issues. There will be jumps, screams, and heart-palpitating moments. Proceed with caution.

BOOK THREE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series -- please read BOOK ONE, Illicit, and BOOK TWO, Explicit, before proceeding with this novel! Coralie Watson wants--no, needs--a break. As her fame rises, so does her infatuation for Chester, her desire for Ryan, and her feelings for Michael. At the urging of her best friends, she blocks them all on social media, to focus on her blossoming career as a singer. But, naturally, the universe isn't done testing her--and neither are the three men her heart can't seem to choose between. Unfollowed on social media? No problem, they know where she hangs out. Blocked numbers? No worries, fate will make it so they bump into her anyway. Coralie can't catch a breath, and her body won't give her any respite as all three men turn her world upside down and cause sensations that she's never even fantasized about. She has to choose--Ryan, Michael, Chester... or none of the above? But as she tries to make up her mind, is there really any harm in having fun? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME BACK YET AGAIN FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)

BOOK TWO in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series -- please read BOOK ONE, Illicit, before proceeding with this novel! Coralie Watson, now living in NYC to focus on her singer/songwriter career, has landed herself in quite the predicament. Stuck in a long-distance relationship with heart-throb Michael, she gets swept into an affair with none other than Ryan--the dreamy hunk from her past who is now magically available to her, exclusively. But the universe isn't done throwing her past at her and tempting her with explicit desires. As she tries to figure out how to break-up with Michael--with Ryan's insistent urging--another previous lover resurfaces. And his way with words and otherworldly eyes and taste for thrills steals her breath away, tugging her far from Ryan, and farther still from Michael. This newcomer offers nothing but a drink to catch up--but Coralie is all too familiar with this tune. Yet her gut instinct is to accept, to meet with him for good old time's sake. How does the expression go again? Oh, right--what's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME BACK FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)

When the beaus of Star's Crossing return from boarding school to begin the courting season, Mare is determined to uncover the identity of her writer, flout her family's intentions of orchestrating an advantageous marriage, and procure the life of writing and romance she's always sought. But as in the tales she so adores, it won't be easy. Galas, masquerades, picnics, and hunts-alongside an old friend, a former teacher, and an unlikely ally, Mare delves into an investigation that leaves her torn between three clever, deceptive, and wealthy young bachelors. If Mare can confirm which is her writer and claim his hand before the courting season ends, she'll have her wish: the love of her life, a valuable marriage, and a future of writing romance. But with the eyes of Star's Crossing upon her, a business plot forcing invisible hands, and the unwillingness of her writer to come forward-Mare's future may not end in triumph, but tragedy.
