Fountainofyouth Stories

Book 1: Layton McKinley struggles with letting herself be with the one she loves, who is also her childhood best friend, Tye. She fears losing him if things don't go well as a couple. She has a tough family history that she struggles with. This plays a major role in where she gives her love and trust, and how she makes decisions. After several difficult events with her family and Tye, Layla ends up meeting a handsome young man, named Luke, who sweeps her off her feet. She soon finds out that he has not been honest with her about who he is. Luke is hiding a major family secret, one that inadvertently sends Layla on a whole new path. She had no idea that Vampires existed, or that this family of supernatural beings would lead her in a direction she never would've expected. Luke Hayle and his family, have a unique way of living life. They often are mischievous, and not exactly honest. Even with the best of intentions for Layla, things always seem to be a disaster. Along the way, she discovers the peak of her strengths and the depths of her hardships. Come on this adventure with me. I am not a trained writer, but I thoroughly enjoyed this creative process. I welcome real, constructive feedback and discussions. *If you loved Twilight, this could become your next vampire family to obsess over! * *warning: there are some scenes containing violence towards the lead, female character. This is a purely fictional piece, that was inspired by the idea of a vampire having children with a human, creating a coven of half-bloods. I also explored using different vantage points. Some of the chapters may seem repetitive at first, until you realize it's the same scene from a different character's view point. This is a story of love and loss, and the supernatural. *All images featured in the book were created using Canva.

Meanwhile, she's still trying to learn who and what exactly she has become, and how to live as normal of a life as possible. This is book two of my series. It is a work of fiction.

*If you loved Twilight, this could become your next vampire family to obsess over! * ~Book 4 Layla's journey continues on! Genevieve had been taken down, in a firey display of Layla's power at the High Cross of Kilbride, Ireland. Just when it feels like things can resume to normal, and Layla can return to London with Ryder, another situation comes to fruition. Archie and her brother Aiden are handling the loss of their father, in two completely different ways. Aiden prefers to stay busy, while Archie adamantly believes that his death was Layla's fault. As a result of Archie's pain and sadness, Layla makes a rash decision to leave on her own. More than anything, she doesn't want to be a burden on anyone. In typical Layla fashion, she sacrifices her own needs and wants to help the ones she loves. The impulsive decision causes her to reunite with Officer Chad Cooper. Layla quickly regrets her choice to leave Ryder. In this book, a whole new set of dilemmas arise, as Layla fights to find her way home. Ryder and Aiden frantically try to find her, with the help of the whole coven. This is a work of fiction. The concept for the book was inspired by the idea of half-blood vampires, as well as Greek mythology. All positive feedback and conversations would be great! I hope you enjoy the adventure as much as I'm enjoying the creative process of writing it. *All images featured in the book were created using Canva.

Mortality is in itself a luxury of life. You get to live once and never look back. Immortality is in itself a sin. It was the greed to experience more of this luxury.

Just a little (VERY horrible) short story I wrote for an ELA assignment in fifth grade, slightly edited later. :D

The Sparrow Sisters. Pirates. Friends. Ships. Captains. And, something mysterious under the sea.

What would you do if you thought you'd been born to write and found out it wasn't your words and it wasn't your story? What would you do if your reality was a shimmering illusion? What would you do if everything you'd created was actually real and slightly more corrupted than you could have ever imagined? What if your savior is also your enemy?

ομορφιάς Beauty, in Greek. The Fountain of Eternal Youth has been found -twice. A short story I wrote for an English class essay ages ago, but never quite got around to posting on here. Kinda violent, people get shot, and one poor human gets stuck in the pool of Life for nigh-on eighty years, forever stuck in some half-existence between life and death. May be expanded some time in the next few years, don't hold your breath.

Leori Rosetorch is a very driven scientist. Her work is her life, and her intellect towards it is the key everyone wishes to obtain. Late one night a mysterious man crashes his car into a telephone pole in front of her house. Leori, being the kind hearted woman she is, rushes out to help, and offers him refuge in her home until the authorities arrive. Ian Sinclair is a rich Playboy, who despises his father, and the multi billion dollar company his father owns. Greed and power are what drives them, and Ian wishes for nothing more than to bring the man down. Upon finding out major details that could end in the demise of a young woman scientist, Ian embarks on a journey to find and warn her. However, he did not expect to have his breakline cut, or to smash his Porsche into the telephone pole in front of her house. This story won't leave you wanting! With a twist of science meets fantasy.
