Dear Reader, It hadn't hit me right away, many things, but especially the fact that I was about to turn twenty years old. It was as if it was just yesterday that I was learning how to make a peanut butter sandwiches, tie my shoes, and draw endlessly with fat crayons--which I thoroughly believed to be a masterpiece. It had to be yesterday, when I was befriending any new person that I met with a dazzling smile. No, those were the years that I was numb--masked from the world and blissfully unaware of the dangers and lingering dark edges of the Chicago city. Life moves fast; terrifyingly fast for some, especially those who try and anchor down each and every day of their existence. For others, it moves drearily slow. I use to be numb, I use to be unaware of the shadows deep within the corners of the earth, the watchful figures around me. I use to draw scribbles, struggle to tie my shoes, and fail at doing the simple things, like tying shoes. I use to make friends with anyone I met and kept that friendship over a promise. I use to do a lot of things, actually. But that was when life was a whole lot simpler, safer, and perfect. That was before I knew about Death. That was before he became my frenemy.

At the heart of Amberguarde lies Stormvein Institute, a fortress where heirs of noble houses, warlocks, paladins, and summoners are trained to master the three great forces-Solar, Lunar, and Astral. But beneath its towering halls of living stone, rivalry runs deeper than magic. Macey Rinaria, the so-called Mad Mage, bears lunar power too volatile to control. Haunted by whispers and a past drowned in fire, she knows one misstep could shatter more than her reputation. Connor Heslington, son of a knightly dynasty, carries the weight of his family's Astral legacy. His oath is to order, not chaos-and certainly not to mages like Macey. When their clash in the lecture hall spirals into a duel that awakens forbidden powers, the two are forced onto a collision course that could tear apart the fragile peace between their houses. Fog conceals secrets. Glyphs hum with warning. And as ancient forces stir-Hinara, Ceao, and Gilgamesh-the truth becomes clear: Stormvein is not a sanctuary. It is a battleground. Magic is rivalry. Rivalry is survival. Began: 7.02.2019 Completed: 21.04.2020 Rewrite: 15.09.2025

"Take this," the silver of the knife glints in the moonlight, "you will have to slice his throat before midnight." °°° She had seen him on a ship. Hair flying majestically, eyes glinting with the ocean and crown hanging from a rope tied to his pants. She didn't know him, but she yearned for him. Yearned for legs to get to him, for she knew he wouldn't like her fin. But the legs came at a price. A price she was willing to pay until the price got too high. In exchange for her legs, get the mer-king's head. Would she kill, all for a prince she has never spoken to? * * * A short dark retelling of The Little Mermaid. COMPLETE

Elizabeth Oldin is an unhappy wife in 1950's America and wants more for herself and her family. Growing up in a concentration camp in WW2 Europe she fled to America the first chance she had, finding a man that would have her and give her a family, but she cannot overcome her own crippling past. When an unspeakable event throws her life into a storm of murder allegations and shocking truths of her history, Elizabeth is taken into Police custody and trialed as a cold blooded murderer. With little evidence on her side and nothing but her own story as corroboration Elizabeth is found guilty and thrown into the most notorious prison on earth, Alcatraz. As the only woman in a prison full of men, Elizabeth knows she will need to fight harder than she ever has before to survive. Not even her own terrifying past was enough to prepare her for what the Warden of Alcatraz Prison has in store for her. But the Warden and inmates have greatly underestimated the strength, will and power of a woman who has already been broken, and will not relent herself to another. Authors note: I would like you all to know that the research that went into this book was extensive, all historical features of this story are correct to their time and place, including the layout of the prison. The only deviation from history is a woman being incarcerated there, and obviously names of staff and inmates. I hope you enjoy the rich historical element of this book as much as the story itself. 1st place winner: Midnight Awards general fiction. 2nd place winner: World of Champions 2019: General Fiction 2nd place winner: Majestic Inc.
