Coast Stories

When four friends embark on a summer treasure hunt into the shipwreck of the Siren, they find buried in the wreckage more than just treasure. As their further excursions into the Siren take their toll, especially on the wild and troubled Gail, their lives are changed indelibly - and not for the better. In this short story about friendship, trauma, childhood and the perils of addiction, The Siren and Her Slaves examines those emotions which, much like the ship itself, are perhaps best kept hidden under the surface.

Coastal Hearts #01

📖 Carolina Hearts - Description Sadie didn't come to South Carolina looking for love. She came to forget - the stress, the pressure, the people who never stay. But on a quiet morning at Folly Beach, she meets a blue-eyed boy with a crooked smile who insists he's "just Niall." Just a stranger. Just a boy who wants to walk the shoreline with her. She doesn't know he's Niall Horan - not yet. She doesn't know why he keeps sneaking away from his hotel just to see her again. And she definitely doesn't know why the famous boy who could have the whole world is falling for the girl who hides behind her Polaroids. But secrets don't stay buried forever. When the truth comes out, Sadie has to decide: Was their summer connection ever real... or was she only a break from his world? A soft, slow-burn romance about unexpected love, stolen beach days, and the boy who found something he didn't know he was missing.

[ONC 2023 Shortlister] ['23 RGAs Overall Winner] When the storm comes, who will you choose to ride it out with? In the sleepy coastal village of Porthdruro, the most excitement literature student Sally Tremaine experiences is the coming and going of the tide. So, when she runs into carefree photographer Flick Scott on a routine errand, the waves the girl makes in her life are beyond anything she's seen before. Flick is confident, passionate, and just plain fun - in short, she's everything Sally had never expected to find in her small world. Things aren't all fun and games, though. The rest of the village wants nothing to do with the boisterous traveller, and Sally senses there's something lurking beneath Flick's impulsive character, something she doesn't want Sally to see. And when another stranger follows hot on Flick's heels, Sally faces a choice between staying true to the place she calls home and protecting the girl that could take her beyond the horizon. As the storm draws ever closer, the questions rumbling in Sally's mind grow louder. What brought someone so full of life to a place like Porthdruro? Why is she so possessive of a simple camera? And will the toll of trusting Flick Scott be more than Sally can take? *** Written for #ONC2023. 50. "An attractive, mysterious stranger moves to your small town.
