some poetry I write when I'm a tad bit delirious

Perfect Illusion is the FIRST book in the Perfect series, followed by the soon-to-be released film PERFECT ADDICTION. Published as an ebook/ on kindle ***** When college student Alex Woods agrees to a fake engagement plot to save her parents' company from bankruptcy, the last thing she expects is to fall for the illusion herself. ***** Alex Woods thinks college will be a fresh start, but when her parents announce their business has gone bankrupt, all of her plans come crashing down. The company has been saved by a wealthy business owner, but it comes with a condition: Alex has to pretend to be engaged to his son, Daniel, for the next 3 years. Daniel Kerrington is 100% swoonworthy, but Alex knows that beneath those killer good looks is a poisonous personality, and Daniel has made it clear the hatred is mutual. Though they've been thrown together with the person they each loathe the most, Alex and Daniel have to make their engagement believable. And as it turns out, the line between love and hate really is very, very thin. [[word count: 100,000 - 150,000]] Cover designed by Ren T Book 1 of the Perfect series

After escaping a stalled elevator into a zombie apocalypse, Emily must learn how to trust people again or risk losing everything in this terrifying world. ***** For Emily, every day of the last two years have been a blur. She keeps her head down, takes her college courses online, and only goes out to work at her mandatory internship. But all that changes on the day the office elevator breaks down, leaving her trapped when the screams begin. And when the doors finally open, revealing a dystopian world ruined by bloody teeth and disease, Emily is launched into a terrifying run for her life, caught between the strangers she's not sure she can trust and the man-eating monsters that hunger for her flesh. Now she must learn not only how to survive in this new and dangerous world, but also how to overcome her own inner demons before they cost her something more precious than her life.

life explained in metaphorical language DEDICATED TO MY GREAT FRIEND SARA HUBBARD

Thanks Ate Kate, @putaimik for proofreading this again. -xoxo

What if metaphors were real people? What if they were not simple phrases used for us to compare things against? What would a heartbreaker do if he is exactly what his name describes? What would bottled up emotions look like? Where would a fallen angel keep her wings? In the Literal Metaphors project, I strive to give you my vision, through words in short tales and scenes captured with a camera lens. Come along with me, and I'll introduce you to the people in my mind. And who knows, you might just find someone you recognise.

I've been finding peace when I was still young, and I never thought that I can only find them in metaphors. -Lyre Vega 2020
