WATTYS 2021 WINNER - PARANORMAL Olivia Porter is well acquainted with death- or so she thought. With the passing of her only friend, she's given more than she bargained for when the estranged and mysterious Lee Noble enters her life. Lee brings with him more than his bad attitude and mysterious past. He's Olivia's gateway to a dark and terrifying underworld she never knew existed. The Edifice; a dimension parallel to their own, separated for a very good reason. It's a world of magic, where warlocks, fiends and monsters walk the streets in strained coexistence. Stranded in a foreign land at the mercy of its citizens, Olivia has no choice but to accept the help of Otis- a deity masquerading as a fickle young man. With seven days to escape the consequences of the deity's contract, Olivia's humanity is on a perilous countdown. Otis promises her the world if she can hold out- while Lee will sacrifice anything to see her gone. Because Otis's gift to her is worth dying for... and all of the Edifice knows it. - cover by @newsies- ~90,000 Words Mature and Horror Themes CONTENT WARNINGS for death, family trauma, adult language, kidnap, coercion, drug and alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation, mental illness, graphic violence and references to racism and homophobia..

Nina felt a pair of eyes watching her. Warm, gilded brown, like the whiskey in her glass. That was how she met Roman Conway for the first time. Three years later, she meets him again, and she is pulled back into a past that cracks the surface of the seemingly perfect life she curated. ***** As Nina Jordan admires New York City from a rooftop, she seems content. She is surrounded by her closest friends, and Cameron - the man she is marrying. But when Nina goes to get a drink at the bar, she bumps into Roman Conway. To Roman, Nina looks different. Her signature curls have been pulled straight, and cut into a blunt bob, and there is a dark melancholy about her. The biggest change he is struck by is that she no longer looks at him the way she used to. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by April Alforque

Landon Valentine has been blind since he was four years old. Since then, he's lived a life full of pain and isolation. All of his life, he's been longing for the kind of love his mother and his father had when his father was alive. But this kind of love seems impossible due to the fact that he's blind. No one takes the time to get to know him and he is sure no one ever will. In his prayers, he asks for someone who will see him as the person he is and not be limited to seeing his blindness. And one day, a person like that shows up. Lauren Reyes is moving to Sacramento from her hometown, Santa Barbara. She is sad because she's leaving everything she knows behind, but at the same time she's happy because she's leaving one very painful memory behind: "love disaster." But she, too,wants to know the meaning of true love. She wants a love that she can call her own and not hurt her. Throughout the pain and isolation, these two don't know that the wish they're asking for is in each other. Hopefully it is completely edited. If you catch any mistakes, please let me know.
