Twenty-two-year-old Emma Campbell had a dreadful lifestyle. She survived a lifetime complete of depression and heartache. Her mother passed away whilst she was merely four-years-old. Emma and her insulting father lived together in a slight apartment they shared in New York City. From time to time she simply cherished to have an ordinary life of her own. To elope from her harsh father, Emma and her elder sister Stephanie run to North Carolina to stay with their aunt and uncle far from their brutal father. Emma's fresh journey begins when she by chance encounters a young man named James Douglas, a delightful, charming gentleman who serves as a journalist at a distinguished business in Los Angeles. Falling in love was astonishing before fidelity showed up blazing on them right after their father recognized the accuracy and came to search for them in North Carolina on Christmas Eve attempting to justify his former flaws towards his children. What will Emma expect to do once she perceives her father's arrival? Will she ever tolerate her father and be a fortunate family anew?

HERO TRIDENT joins a group of teenagers after a series of earthquakes over the magnitude of 8 hit the whole planet. They have to outrun their fates and find the North Bunker to hopefully reunite with their families. The first book "False Hope" in a trilogy is just the beginning of the end of the world as we know it. I have been working on this book for 3 years. This summer I decided to edit and even publish my first novel. This story has been with me for many years, which is why my determination for it to be on bookshelves has doubled. Thank you to everyone who has been with me on this journey from the start and those who will join me now. I have grown up quite a lot since I began and so has this story. I hope my original readers won't be too mad that I have changed some things. Thank you all! <3

A looming virus, a rampant serial killer and an unconventional romance. The fate of Vinteria lies in the hands of college student Evelyn Thompson and Detective Elliot Lind. *** A new virus (Oz-X) is spreading rapidly. It is deemed Oz-X because the victims' bodies melt from the inside out, similar to how the Wicked Witch in Oz met her demise. The deaths are piling up exponentially and a specific cluster of deaths starts to become apparent in a small town named Vinteria. Evelyn is a senior in college and is eager to graduate. She is anxiously waiting for decisions from law schools and cannot wait to start her life - including finally stepping into the dating world. Yes - she's held off on dating this long. As Evelyn and her roommates Jane and Mark start to prepare for the worst, the deaths in Vinteria start to increase. The striking attributes of the victims' bodies point to a murderous end - not a virus related one. With an apparent serial killer hiding behind the mask of the virus, it becomes harder and harder to distinguish virus and homicidal related deaths. Evelyn inadvertently becomes intertwined with the death investigations due to her proximity to the emerging victims. She starts to experience inexplicable occurrences and believes that she is being targeted by the serial killer as their next victim. The lead detective on the cases, Elliot Lind, makes it his mission to solve the mystery of the Vinteria killer and to figure out why Evelyn Thompson of all people attracts so many bodies. With threats of quarantine looming and life ceasing to exist, Elliot and Evelyn start forming an unlikely bond while working through the cases. As they try come to terms with this newfound relationship, they must work together to save their town from demolition. *IN PROGRESS *MAY use coarse language

Several deaths on a quiet beach and one grisly murder out at sea don't seem related, but when they start to hit too close to home he will have to rely on the brains of Doctor Robyn Bourke, a sassy marine biologist, to make heads or tails of the fishy situation. Their strong personalities collide as the mystery deepens, and it becomes apparent that there are forces beyond their wildest imagination at work. Can they stand each other long enough to solve the case, or will Mother Nature get the best of them?
