Surviving in juvenile prison? Tough. Surviving in juvenile prison with the added bonus of seeing ghosts? Tougher. Bailey has a sixth sense, a criminal record and no appetite for trouble; serving a year-long prison sentence already sucks enough in and of itself. If only the spirits would leave her in peace. A strange warning, an inexplicable injury, a disturbing message written on her cell's wall in blood: Bailey has no choice but to conclude a ghost is out to get her. To save her life, she must find out why. But in a place where restriction is everything and escape impossible, that may be harder than it seems. ~ONC 2020 shortlister and honourable mention~ ~Featured on 'Die Young, Stay Pretty' reading list on @Horror~ -Featured on 'Horror/Paranormal' reading list on @CommunityTeam~ ~Featured on 'Life after death' reading list on @Paranormal~ ~Featured on 'Wicked little creatures' reading list on @TeenFiction~ ~Featured on 'I see dead people' on @fright~ ~Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered, may 2022~ ~Featured on 'The Rebels' reading list on @Badassreads~ ~Amby Awards 2023 Top Pick~ Written for ONC 2020.

♡| ONC 2020 Short Lister |♡ ♡| Now A Full-Length Novel |♡ Run with the big dogs, they said. It will be fun, they said. Let me tell you riding in the back of a cop car is not as sexy as it sounds. Handcuffs are a lot more entertaining when you're getting laid. I ran with the big dogs. Now I'm caged with them. A textbook drug deal gone bad. Case closed. I've given up fighting, even if my folks haven't. It's like learning to walk again. Lebanon Correctional carries its own codes and laws of violence, bureaucracy, and extortion. Ones I'm hell-bent on avoiding. Until my cellie teaches me to make a tattoo gun. Colt Cross. First degree murder; fifteen-to-life. Brilliant and broken. Fighting for me inside the fence while my family rallies on the outside; proving beyond a reasonable doubt that nothing is as it seems.

For influencer Carolyn Danes, #aboutlastnight is the best hashtag. It perfectly sums up an evening filled with adventure and excitement. And her last evening out really WAS perfect. Her dress fit perfectly, her hair and makeup were on point, and she met the man of her dreams, out-of-this-world-hot and charming Damian Bradley. It just had to be ruined by something as silly as waking up in a strange empty room, in Damian's body, her own lifeless corpse lying on the floor. No amount of screaming in the world can make the nightmare go away. Her only clue about last night is a letter from Damian himself. It can all be undone. He just made a deal with the Devil, and now the Prince of Darkness wants one small favor to set everything right. Find a tiny shard of soul. But when Carolyn can see every bit of soul the world has lost, finding one particular piece may prove impossible. 👸 This is my open novella contest 2020 entry. Yay me!

AN ONC 2020 ENTRY- SHORTLISTED A Wattpad Romance, Stories Undiscovered, General Fiction, Cupid and AmbassadorsUK featured story. Art in the cover by @CutoutsCo on Etsy. ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ "Dear Miss Clara Abbott, I am delighted to inform you that you have been engaged. I wish you the best of luck with your new husband. Yours, Aphrodite." When Clara was just fifteen, she vowed to the sky that she would never fall in love. For ten years, she told herself that she was happy alone; that stubborn streak inside of her never letting her believe otherwise. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, for Clara, Aphrodite and her gummy bears saw through her façade, and decided to give her a little nudge to help her make a different sort of vow... "I want to allow myself to feel everything, but there is something in me that feels like it is physically stopping me from doing that." ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ • @newlywrittenbooks featured • @WattOriginals featured • ONC Shortlisted • Second Place- Psychological Novel Reads Contest 2020 • Honourable Mention - Romance Reads Contest 2021 • Second Place - The Creative Awards (Fifth Edition) • Third Place - The Gen Z Awards 2020 • Honourable Mention - The Ace Awards Supreme • Fifth Place - The Belle Amè Awards 2020 Highest ranking: #8 / 195K in Story [20/7/20] #2 / 69. 4K in Book [5/7/20] #751 / 2M in Love [24/6/20] #1 / 11.1K in Letter [20/7/20] #5 / 3K Novella [22/6/20] #1 / 626 in Opennovellacontest [26/5/20] ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ [Yours, Aphrodite, written by TinyAsianEmpress. © All rights reserved] This book or any portion thereof may not be reproduced or used in any manner without the permission of the author.]
