Hi everyone, just a quick heads-up: this is the very first book I've ever written, so pls go easy on me haha! Set in Kansas City, Missouri, Midwest Boys, Late Summer, follows Caleb Turner and Evan Holt, two boys raised on church pews, summer storms, and unspoken rules. Best friends since childhood, they've grown up inseparable - and quietly in love - in a place where certain feelings are never named. Caleb, the taller of the two, has always been overprotective of Evan. Evan however, has always shown.. stronger affection to Caleb.. Caleb isnt really good at, showing emotion. Only around Evan, he feels thorough. As tornado sirens cut through humid nights and adulthood looms closer, Caleb and Evan learn what it means to want something they were taught to fear. This is a story about closeted love in the Bible Belt, about silence that feels holy and dangerous, and about the kind of romance that survives in stolen glances and almost-touches.

Former Chicago beat cop Brian Carter thought trading city gang wars for rural policing would mean a quiet life of tracking down runaway dogs and handling minor neighbor disputes. He was dead wrong. When a frantic call sends Chief Carter and his rookie deputy out to the isolated Miller farm, they expect a routine animal control issue. Instead, they step out of their cruiser and into a slaughterhouse. Something has brutally massacred Harry Miller's livestock, leaving the yard painted in blood. Trapped on the property with a terrified farmer and a rising body count, Brian quickly realizes that whatever did this isn't a wolf or a bear. It's fast, it's vicious, and it's completely unnatural. Armed with only their service weapons and a loose shotgun, the officers must survive the afternoon against a ravenous horde they never saw coming. In the country, nobody can hear you scream... but they can hear the cattle.

Remembrance is a modern fantasy set in the most magical place on Earth, Northeast Ohio. Nearing the end of his senior year in high school, Malcolm Ridenger was comfortable with his life. He had good grades, a couple of good friends, and a loving family. He wasn't happy, but he was at least... fine. However, an unknown past and a brush with magic will jettison Malcolm into a new life as a ward of Life and Death themselves, and bring him into the world of The Seconds.

My genesis was never clean. It was stained with struggles, rumors, losses, and close calls. But from that mud, I built the foundation for everything that followed. The block gave me grit, the cipher gave me voice, and the hustle gave me purpose. This is where JayRone was born. Not just an artist. Not just a battle rapper. But a hustler molded by streets, sharpened by pain, and destined to turn survival into success.

Poems I write.

Sammy finds the smell of cigarettes and whiskey comforting -- the legacy of a father with a failing farm and a mother who never leaves home. He's the protector of his little sister and the quarterback of his high school. He also has dreams about being pulled from his bed by cloud-like beings with sandpaper skin. Aided by his therapist and an old teddy bear, he learns that his tormentors aren't the biggest danger to the people he loves. He is.
