Your life has reached a point of daily monotony that is crushing your spirit slowly. Every morning, it's the same thing: wake up, brush teeth, shower, dress, eat toast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep. Repeat. Then one morning you get a pamphlet in the mail: an advertisement for a hiking trail in the mountains of Tennessee. Your spirit jumps at a chance to do something different and maybe to discover something important about yourself. Will your decisions lead to a victorious conquest of the mountains? Or will they make you another cautionary tale whispered to naughty children by their parents? [A branching path story is written in second person, so you will read and take action as the main character in this story. Your story will branch off into different plots based on your responses. This is the first time I have done something like this, but I'm really excited to share it with you!]

Love, Lust, and Jealousy. It's a story Cora knows all too well - not because it's her own, but that of her character in Illicit Affairs, the murderous romance that's about to take Broadway by storm. It's her crowning achievement, her pride and joy, and she's its figurehead - the alluring, sultry, and mysterious leading lady. She's almost ready for opening night. She's perfected it all - how to angle herself when she kisses him so that the stage lights hit their bodies just right; the way her lips are supposed to feel on his, soft at first and then increasingly wanting. There's just one tiny problem. As their first performance looms, she's still not sure if she has the willpower to convincingly play lover to a man she hates. Or if she can keep doing it once she realizes what she's feeling for him isn't hate anymore. ♡ featured in @Romance's chicklit reading list and @NA's romance list ♡ ★ Started: November 15th, 2021 ★ Completed: May 22nd, 2022

(BOOK #2 in the Secrets of Aristol series.) It's almost been three months since Elouise's birthday. Although she's kept herself distracted by Beatrice's past, she's left with more questions. Perhaps she isn't concentrating hard enough. After all, she's still waiting for the one who may never come back. She can only hope the answers will come faster than she fears. When Eldon returned home, he thought he would be back by Elouise's side within a month. He fell back into his old routine instead. But he hasn't stopped thinking about her and what they managed to discover together. Then his village is attacked, and he finds himself back at her side, reminded of the awakened ability within him he's tried to avoid. He only hopes things will start making more sense this time. If anything's worth hoping for, though, it's that Eldon will finally believe. But he won't be the only one forced to face the secrets of the kingdom.

"Before I show you who I am, I want you to remember what you're fighting for," Aide replied cautiously and gave them all a piercing stare. "Keep an open mind." "Just tell us, lad," Hanke snarled impatiently and bobbed his sword. "Brace yourselves," Aide said as he slowly reached for his hood. Emaia's heart pounded vigorously in her chest, so loudly, she feared people could hear. This was it. She would finally see the face of her rescuer, the face she had so longed to see. Aide gave them all one last lingering look before he closed his eyes. "Your whole world is about to change." He punctuated his sentence by pulling off his hood. The entire crowd gasped and all readied their weapons, as long silver hair burst free from the cloak and long slender ears appeared. It was impossible, Emaia thought. They had been extinct for decades. But there was no denying it. She looked at the man who had rescued her a few nights ago, and remembered him as charming and valiant. It all made so much sense now-why he could do, what he could do. He was an elf. And not just any elf. - A Northern Elf.

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life..." - "Eat Pray Love" (Cover by Sav) (Eclipse) (Alessia Marie Cullen intro) T W I L I G H T S A G A COMPLETED

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."

Doubt unwinds how humans can create personas to fit into society and forget to love themselves. The story moves around two people and the choices they question, which were made for them. Best friends stuck with insecurities, but will stand by each other in any circumstances. One has mother issues, whereas the other only has a mother to live for. Not your regular north and south, but definitely not your ice-cream and waffle. One will crack jokes at the most random of times, and the other will not even laugh, but both are suckers for biryani. One might suck at Urdu, and the other only freaks out in it, but both care about one person. One is born in Pakistan, and the other is born in America, but both are Pakistani. One is over-excited, and the other is calm as the wind, but both are socially damaged. One is a creative bird, and the other is the virtual freak, but both hate biology. One is head over heels for Pakistani music, and the other doesn't even understand half the lyrics, but both love Sajjad Ali. One is naïve, whereas the other is silly, but both are mature at the right moment. One reads the ingredients of everything while the other makes his own, but, again, both are Halal oddities in a Haram world. She was Ezzah Mahir, and this her journal. Now available on Amazon and in Pakistan.
