Folktales Stories

My upcoming debut! Book 1 of the Temptress series: A paranormal fantasy with an eventual romance across the plot 🦌🪽🏔️💠 ---- The mountains have always whispered of the Goddesses and their onyx Guardians, but not all folktales speak to guide. After surviving the disaster that devastated her town, Dahlia moves to her grandmother's rural home, haunted by the memory of dark wings burning through flames. She tells herself it was a shock. Grief. Anything but real. But the eyes of the mountains know her name... Feathers fall where none should. Whispers serenade her, and something, someone, watches, his presence as unsettling as it is magnetic. As Dahlia's reality begins to unravel, she finds herself drawn to the very myth she should fear most. Because the closer she gets to the truth that should have stayed buried in the dirt, the harder it is to tell whether she's being hunted... or guarded. ---- Link in profile bio for official Spotify playlists and Pinterest boards

Poems and Tales is a writing collection that has a mixture of (mostly freestyle) poems and short fantasy-oriented tales made by me :)

Edmund comes to the remote village of Black Thickett to escape the life grief has carved out of him. He wants silence. Distance. A place where memories can't follow. But Black Thickett is wrong in quiet, unsettling ways. The broken road becomes perfectly smooth the moment he crosses the boundary. The cottages are too neat, too deliberate. And on a noticeboard full of dry flyers, only one poster is wet. A missing boy, smiling as if he doesn't know he's lost. The villagers won't talk about the disappearances. The forest at the edge of the village seems to breathe, and the deeper Edmund goes, the calmer he feels... dangerously calm. The forest can quiet his pain. It can ease his grief. It can make him forget. But not everything that heals you wants you to survive. Welcome to Black Thickett, where you'll find my entry into the ONC 2026.
