A story about an illegal Immigrant, who pursued the American Dream. Based on a true story. Cover artwork by Johnny McDaniels

What happens after tragedy pulls a family apart? What do we stumble across in our search for the missing and broken pieces? Follow Grace and Stevie, two estranged siblings struggling to be whole after their lives were torn apart. Struggling with his own humanity, Stevie finds himself in a war of heart, wondering if he's one of the bad people he rids the world of. Grace, a struggling addict, leaves everything behind in pursuit of her melancholic, self-righteous brother who wants nothing to do with her. Running from something without any direction, will he find himself running right to her doorstep?

The Imperfect enigma is the perfect paragon!

The Story of a life lived, a life lost.

He opened a diary. What followed... was a life he could never forget. In 1950s Britain, a man haunted by war and silence opens the pages of a diary that takes him back to his childhood - a time of red bridges, quiet battles, and unspoken love. Raised by his aunt and her British husband, young Kalyan finds himself chosen for a scholarship that could change his life. But between palace walls, painful truths, and the weight of expectations, he discovers that the hardest tests aren't always on paper. The Shape of Love: A Time-Tested Journey is a deeply emotional coming-of-age story about identity, sacrifice, and the invisible wounds we carry, for readers who love quiet, powerful storytelling with heart.

"For the Birds" is a short story narrated by a young woman who has a hard time finishing what she started. She has the desire to create a better life for herself, but the sacrifice it requires has her giving up.

In the border town where the echoes of conflict resonate, two youths emerge from the chrysalis of adolescence-Qira and Zeya. A nation beset by war stands juxtaposed with its neighboring aggressor, an alien force ruling by conquest. The land quivers under their tyranny, as suffering befalls the conqueror's own populace. The war, albeit sporadic, rains shells and bombs, stealing lives of loved ones. Qira and Zeya's friendship blossoms amidst this tumult. Amid moonlit escapades, like exploring abandoned houses, deep forests, they discover kindred spirits. Zeya's allure and adventurous spirit counterbalance his occasional transgressions. Qira's virtue anchors them both, guiding Zeya toward goodness through thought-provoking conversations. Qira unveils the cosmos and human nature, igniting a journey of self-discovery. Initially skeptical, Zeya's skepticism bends to faith, kindled by Qira's queries. His spiritual odyssey unveils ethereal feats and a newfound reverence for nature. Qira orchestrates influential connections and paves a path for Zeya's political aspirations. As Zeya leads a small faction and propels his nation toward triumph, he faces opposition, a battlefield of blame games. Qira's counsel counters the onslaught. Intermittently, Zeya seeks solace in nature's bosom, his introspective respites fueling his connection to the divine. Propelled by divine whispers, he conquers political heights. As the war escalates, Zeya matures into a warlord, his empathy a beacon in darkness. His leadership attracts allies, but greed tarnishes some. At the zenith, victory is achieved, but some things are revealed to Zeya that rocks his world. Amid viral revelations, everyone goes against Zeya. What happens to Zeya after that? Stayed Tuned and Find Out!

Hopefully this move to LA is a clean start with no drama, but you can't control fate.

Why can the pursuit of happiness be so elusive?

Humanity is far from perfect. But not out of reach of it. These poems highlight society's most fundamental flaws, and what we can do to fix them.

"The Journey of human being who long for love but learns that love comes in many forms even pain."

Jack Namath leaves it all behind to pursue a lifelong dream, and finds it to be far greater than anything he'd ever imagined.

This is a short story of a guy who is in love with a girl he met in the past, but he ultimately dies trying to get back to her.

Despite the fact most of us tend to live 'ordinary' lives, we still find ourselves in strange occurrences every day. Some people seek it out, while others are pulled into it without choice. A wannabe private eye. A board game gambling ring. A nasty, convoluted rumor mill. Strange occurrences such as these intersect at the experimental Bruma's Heart High, a charter school meant to revolutionize education methods... and all of them seem to involve a student club with an ominous goal: School Domination!
