    Holly Gaines is a young witch, orphaned after the death of her parents years earlier. She bides her time taking art classes and waiting for the day she can finally leave behind the streets of Savannah. When two handsome strangers roll into her favourite bar, she knows she can't trust them. After all, they're Hunters. And Hunters don't mix well with witches. Hunters are the reason her parents are dead - or so she thinks. But after a near death experience, Holly finds her very soul bound to one of one of the brothers, a man she never thought she could trust. Now her and the Winchesters have to work together to take down the menacing presence that's been stalking her city... one that's got his fangs aimed right for Holly's throat. **** This is a fanfic novella based on the show Supernatural, but it doesn't require knowledge of the show to enjoy. Featuring an original FMC.

    When you cast a spell to save your town, what could go wrong? Wilson Parish has fallen to a crime wave that's transformed the once-quiet community into a hub for organized crime. Desperate times call for desperate measures-so when Freeman McCray discovers an old family recipe for conjuring a hero, he gathers six townspeople to try it. One serpent's tongue. One queen bee. Two vials of blood marked "grace" and "mercy." And something to mold the hero's form. But Freeman didn't unroll the scroll far enough to read his great-great-grandmother's warning. In a hero's sight, there is no in between. Either it's wrong... or it's right. A dark fantasy short story about the danger of calling for justice when no one is innocent.

    Seventeen year old Wilder Ansley is being followed. By who? He hasn't got a clue. By people and creatures no one else can see. That's a good enough place to start. To make matters worse, he's also able to do things that make no sense at all - like unintentionally setting fire to his foster brother's bed. Without the help of a lighter or matches. Wilder prides himself that recently, aside from a few unfortunate incidents, he's been able to keep whatever happens when he loses his cool mostly under control. That is until a freak lightning storm alerts the mysterious New Orleans Council to his whereabouts. And his burgeoning abilities. Within hours, Wilder is thrown headfirst into a whole new world, hidden behind a Shroud, and it feels more like home than he cares to admit. Despite his initial hesitations, Wilder finds friendship, and maybe something more, among these new strangers. But it turns out uncovering his place in the Eadar might be harder than he thought. Wilder must force himself to face the truth about who everyone else believes him to be-all while a decades long war escalates within and beyond the Shroud, threatening not only the Eadar and his new found friends, but the human world he's left behind. Red Summer, now available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, is the first installment of the Stone and Scale quartet. I will be posting 1-2 scenes a week - always on Fridays, sometimes on Tuesdays, until launch (February 18, 2026). All scenes will have text to speech available! It'll end up being roughly half the book but not the entire novel. I'll be hosting a GoodReads Giveaway for the entire book in September though, and I'd LOVE for my readers here to get first dibs!

    In the haunted heart of New Orleans, Zariah Baptiste thought she was just another girl with a fractured past-until a violent attack awakens something ancient in her blood. Pulled into a hidden world of vampire Houses, ancestral magic, and a war rooted in betrayal, Zariah learns she is the last living heir of a forgotten queen: Nyah Sungbo. To reclaim her birthright, Zariah must survive three deadly trials-of blood, memory, and fire-each revealing terrifying truths about her lineage and the curse that never died. As old enemies rise and a shadow from the past hunts her across sacred ground, Zariah must decide whether to carry the flame... or become it. But the deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes: This isn't just her story. It's a reckoning. And the blood always remembers.

In their quest to find Old Yellow Eyes, Dean and Sam encounters an unknown type of hunters and curiosity caused them to want to know how these ancient hunters survived for eons.
