A psychiatrist once told Stella Montgomery that perception is reality. That same psychiatrist told her many other things, too. Those weren't important. What was important colored her reality: psychosis. One simple word. It colored many years of her life, until she finally got it under control. The shadows, that harbored things best left alone, grew smaller. They stopped moving. Fantastical creatures, found in small sunbeams and hidden pockets withdrew into their world. Her world had a lot less color without them. Yet, despite the years of fractured reality, she survived. Stella achieved her goals and continued to work towards new ones. She was thirty. She was alive. Then one woman walked into her life, dropped life changing news in her lap, and walked away. Once more, Stella has one chance. And the stakes have never been higher. Runner up in the general fiction category in the Earnesty Writing Awards 2019. Cover by w_nnie! And my thanks to them.

#5 in Mystery/Thriller on 10/2 ❝You have no idea about how dangerous I am, who I am and what I did. I prefer it that way. I am the designer of my own catastrophe, I am my own villain and own destruction. Don't acquaint yourself with me, you will regret it immensely in the future,❞ she paused to take a whiff of her half-finished cigarette and tainted the air with both her exhale of smoke and her presence, then continued in a low voice,❝But take one advice of mine― never ever trust anyone in Roséville.❞ ❝Not even you?❞ ❝Especially me.❞ graphic: -ambedo- ©All Rights Reserved Praise: @archertypes (Cinderelliot): ❝I'M HOOKED. HOW IS IT NOT AT 1 MILLION READS?❞ @joymoment (Every Second): ❝Obsessed. This is the only word that can describe my love for this book! It's like finding buried treasure where you weren't looking for it! It grabs you by the collar from the very first word & drags you into this intense world of such vivid & rich detail! Words can't really describe how much I love this book & how amazingly it is written! I pity all those poor suckers who have yet to find the amazingness that's this book! I can't wait to see where this book takes you because its truly amazing and deserves all the recognition it could ever receive! You are amazing! Your way with words is breathtaking to say the least!❞ @orphanblood (Mediocre Poems): ❝I am very honored as a reader to be reading something that is fresh and not something with 500k or even a million and more reads. I would say, don't complain about those artificial & cliché stories. Read something new & valuable. Everyone might not like it, but it possesses originality which is why I truly respect. I like the mystery behind it bc you want to leave your readers wanting more. Each chapter doesn't need to have a thrill in it. You want us to come back for seconds like dinner at a dinner table. I admire how detailed your chapters are. This will be an AWESOME full length book!❞

Death is ready to visit a new world! Based on the published novel and Wattpad sensation, Death is My BFF is now a webcomic! Experience the story like never before now only on WEBTOON! This is a VERY rough, early draft of "Death is My BFF" and the published version looks very different! :) ****** (2014 WATTY AWARD WINNER!) The legendary Angel of Death has spared Faith Williams' divine soul. However, this merciful act comes at a price. When she turns eighteen, her soul and everything that she is, will belong to him. The problem? Faith's not going to hell without a fight. Death isn't the only creature that has taken notice in her uniqueness. Demons, monsters, one vengeful demi-god, and a notorious playboy are all wrecking havoc on her life. Torn between two worlds, Faith must decide once and for all whom she can trust, and whom she can allow herself to love, before all of hell breaks loose. Even if it means striking another deal with Death. * * * FAQ: HELLO, YOU BEAUTIFUL PERSON! :) You CAN read this story without reading the Original Death series. DEATH IS MY BFF REWRITTEN is a total rewrite of the first draft of "Death is My BFF", which I wrote when I was 14. The ORIGINAL series is on my profile, but it does not line up with this book. Again, the book you are currently on is "Death is My BFF Rewritten," which is part of the Rewritten Death Chronicles, and this book does not line up with the original Death series. Again, the Rewritten Death Chronicles will share similarities to the original series, but should be considered a SEPARATE from the series I wrote when I was 14! Please enjoy!!!!! Xoxo, Katarina E.
