Identity-crisis Stories

In a fractured future where dreams can be entered, recorded, and stolen, Evelyn Vale makes her living as a Dream Collector - a rare kind of psychic who can cross into other people's subconscious worlds and retrieve dream artifacts: physical objects that retain fragments of dream-logic in waking reality. These artifacts can heal trauma, grant creative insight, or destroy the mind of anyone who misuses them. Haunted by the mistake that left her former partner trapped in a permanent coma, Evelyn now works freelance, operating between the corporate dream industry and the criminal Dream Market. When she retrieves a mysterious silver key from the mind of a dying artist, it begins to whisper her name - and reality itself starts to unravel. Dreams spill into daylight; time loops; people begin sharing one another's memories. Teaming up with Nara Quinn, a lucid dreamer whose subconscious can create impossible objects, Evelyn must uncover the origin of a sentient entity known only as The Echo - a living dream that wants to merge sleep and waking forever. As the borders between worlds dissolve, Evelyn must choose between the life she remembers and the dream that remembers her.

Tagline: Love is the slowest kind of death. --- Back Cover Blurb: She was born a secret. He was bred to hunt them. In the city of Atrium Vale, masked murderers called the Velvet Court rule the night-leaving behind roses dipped in blood and victims carved with symbols. No one knows their faces. No one survives them. Except her. Salem Vexx is a girl with a locked past and a scar across her neck-their mark. She's spent her life hiding from the shadows until a new neighbor moves into the penthouse across from hers: tall, silent, and wrapped in danger. He wears gloves even when it's warm. He never speaks unless it's necessary. His windows are always open. Watching her. Ash Corven has one job. Track. Torture. Kill. But when he's assigned to watch Salem, he's not prepared for the voice in her laughter, the wild in her rage, or the fact that she was never supposed to survive. As the city drowns in secrets and another killer emerges, Ash finds himself making one fatal mistake. He doesn't want to kill her. He wants to own her. --- Content Themes: Masked stalkers Psychological cat-and-mouse Morally gray killer x hunted girl Obsession vs. love Mystery tied to a secret society Dark sensuality and forbidden touch "Who's the real monster?" energy --- Opening Line: > The first time I saw him, he had blood on his cuffs and a knife at his side. The second time, he was staring through my bedroom window-smiling.

Two of the most fragile students in Der Blitzkinder Academia are paradoxically also the most powerful. Pricilla Not has schizoid personality disorder -- which is likely one of the most frustrating of diagnoses from a therapist's point of view. Yet at her core, the teenager is a frightened little girl. Even worse, what terrifies her the most is her own power -- because everything (and everyone) that she loves is so delicate. Kali Neelam has the seemingly opposite dilemma. In many ways, she's just waking up. She's alert, curious, and finally aware of the fact that she's a girl. Yet she has a limited ability to express herself. This is so frustrating because she greatly wants to express herself! Making these paragons roommates is either a stroke of genius -- or a recipe for unmitigated disaster. But give them a common cause... Or have a common cause come looking for them... Spooky? ¿¿-Why Not-??

When he was eight years old, Drew built an android. He named the android Addie, and she became his constant companion. The two of them were inseparable, and even though Addie was an android Drew treated her like a real girl. Fastforward one decade. Massive advancements in technology have rocked the world. Many people's lives have become better, but crime has also become much, much worse - and much, much deadlier. Drew and Addie are a world-renowned crime-fighting duo, known for the ability to do anything and everything. If you need something done, Drew and Addie are the ones to do it. Lately, though, Addie's been questioning her validity. And despite reassurance from Drew, doubt gnaws at her circuitry. The time for doubt, however, is over.

When the endless Nightmare finally collapsed, Ashen believed he had won. He had slain the last of the dream gods, torn himself free of a realm that fed on fear, and wished only for one thing: to go home. But the world he returns to is nothing like the one he left behind. Centuries have passed, the cities have fallen into ruin, and the land itself is being consumed by a spreading mist that carries living shadows. Humanity survives behind broken walls, haunted by the creatures that once belonged only to dreams. They speak in whispers about the Returned, warriors who came back from the Nightmare changed, powerful, and cursed. Ashen is one of them. To the people he is a weapon, to the Dominion he is a threat, and to the growing darkness that infects the waking world he is something even worse - a seed. With Mira, a healer who still believes in light even when surrounded by ruin, Ashen begins to face what he has become: a man caught between saving what remains of humanity and destroying it. As the line between dream and reality fades, he must decide whether he will fight the darkness within him or finally surrender to it.

On a dying and divided planet Earth, in a time when mankind's only hope of survival lies on a new planet halfway across the galaxy, the ruthless, bicentennial autocrat, President Yuki Xi Wang, is reincarnated into a young, genetically-engineered body one year after her death. A body that was stolen by a dangerous terrorist organization and which, for a short time, developed a mind of its own. A body that learned to fight for survival, identity and... for love. When President Xi Wang discovers that her body's latent memories might hold the clue to finding and eliminating the terrorist leader, she leaves the safety of her floating city and embarks upon a quest of discovery. But as her journey progresses she begins to question her priorities. Which is more important, saving the Exodus, the project she has nurtured for a hundred years, or saving the man with whom the body she occupies fell in love?

Under the Mask Lay a face. Under the Face lay a mask. She was beautiful but she was scared to show it. She was kind but she was scared to prove it. Every event reveals one true emotion so she may be free to be who she can truly be. ~Dedicated to V.M ~ This book cannot be copied or stored electronically or on paperback. All rights reserved.

"She was built to obey the stars. She chose to eclipse them." In a universe bound by celestial machinery and layered dimensions, the stars do not shine freely-they follow a script. At the heart of this great design lies the Astrarium Protocol, a mysterious cosmic directive that dictates the stability across fractured timelines, collapsed choices, and broken causeways. It maintains order. It eliminates irregularities. Aurelia Noctis was meant to be one such obedient mechanism-crafted in the Pedral Engine, her memories laced with artificial harmony, her body fused with gearwork divinity and recursive language. But something within her broke protocol. Haunted by fragmented reflections of herself, Aurelia awakens to the truth of her condition: she is not a singular entity, but a convergence of collapsed potentialities-a narrative contradiction that should not exist. Pursued by the Inquisitors of the Citadel and entangled in a collapsing web of mirrored timepieces and metaphysical laws, she begins to resist the code written into her bones. Wth each trial, Aurelia ascends beyond the confines of standard dimensionality-breaching 4D and 5D strata, stepping through realms where causality is fluid and identity is recursive. Along the way, she confronts agents of the Protocol, memory-forged realities, and the haunting paradox of self-authorship-a threat to any structure that demands obedience. Her final goal? Not to defy the stars-but to become their equal. To become not the story... but the scribe. It's my first time do this so I don't know much about this.

For me, poetry is my truth. It is a way for me to capture the essence of a moment that is sometimes very hard to articulate simply using spoken words. This book simply captures the messiness of the never ending process of my becoming in a certain.

Meet Doggie-san -- who's not at all in the title. How rude! Well, Doggie-san used to be a dog. (Funny how that works sometimes.) Her guardian is Dr. Loki Fenrison. He used to be a wolf. (NOT so funny how that works even once!) Now, between Doggie-san and her Brickles, the role of owner and pet has become reversed. Not that her Brickles seems to notice. So... What's the problem? Simplicity itself: who are these other two girls who also insist that they're "Brickles?!" ...Doggie-san would almost rather have mange than to have this problem... (Almost, mind you.) Welcome to Der Blitzkinder Academia, a boarding school for superpowered, um... Papa Loki, what are we students exactly??? (And why am I enrolled?? What aren't you telling me??)

"Most of us are born, and like clouds, we drift quietly through routine, offer one final shower, then disappear, nothing more than background noise in the stories that mattered."

He wakes up to cuts, broken fingers, burns and scratches adorning his body.
