    Some stories arrive like summer rain. Some stay like winter sunlight. The Season Between Us is a collection of short stories woven from love, loss, hope, regret, mystery, and the quiet moments that change people forever. Each chapter tells a different story. Different faces. Different lives. Different endings. Some will make you smile. Some will leave questions behind. And some will stay with you long after the final line. Because between every beginning and every goodbye, there exists a season that belongs to no one-and yet somehow belongs to all of us. Welcome to The Season Between Us.

    Every connection leaves a digital footprint. Every raw, unspoken truth hides behind a blinking cursor. But what happens to the words we are too terrified to send? Set against the backdrop of a rain-soaked coastal city, Before the Draft is Deleted is an anthology of modern human connection and the silent digital detachment that threatens to tear it apart. It is a collection of snapshots and souls-of late-night anonymous chats, intense intellectual intimacy, and the raw, unedited thoughts we delete before anyone can read them. Inside these pages, dual internal voices collide in a world where intimacy is filtered through screens, secrets are archived in hidden folders, and the most dangerous thing you can do is hit send. Read the thoughts they didn't want you to see. Before the system clears the cache. Before the screen goes dark. Before the draft is deleted.

    Ayda Aydnik returns to her hometown with a plan: survive one school year teaching at the same high school that once broke her, collect the money, and disappear for good. The people haven't changed. The secrets definitely haven't. On her first day back, an anonymous blog appears. Every Monday at exactly 9 a.m., a new post is published-old high-school essays written by The Chosen 16, exposing secrets they never meant anyone to read. Affairs. Violence. Betrayals. Mental breakdowns. Abuse. Love stories that destroyed people instead of saving them. Ayda is on the list. Worse-she recognizes the writing. She wrote those words years ago, during the summer she refuses to talk about. As the town devours each post, friendships collapse, old hierarchies return, and trauma resurfaces. Ayda is forced to face the people she once loved, the ones she failed, and the one truth she's been running from: The past isn't haunting. Someone is weaponizing it. And whoever is behind the blog knows exactly how the story ends.

    Sophie's life was full of quiet brilliance, curiosity, and deep love for those around her. From her devoted but sometimes overbearing father to her younger sister Lily, and to her friends Daniel and Ravi, Sophie shaped the world with her presence and her choices-small gestures, moments of care, and the subtle ways she connected with others. Tragedy strikes, and Sophie dies unexpectedly. Those she loved are left grappling with grief, guilt, and the weight of things left unsaid. But Sophie's spirit lingers, observing and feeling. From her father learning to release the expectations he placed on her, to Lily discovering her own capacity for joy, to Daniel and Ravi finding the courage to move forward while honoring her memory, the story traces the subtle yet powerful ways love persists beyond presence. Love, the story reminds us, is never simple. Timing, choice, and chance can twist it into forms we never expect. Sophie's life ended too soon, but the echoes of her choices and her connection continue to shape the living. We do not always get a chance to respond later, fix it later, or make the perfect choice-but the love we carry forward remains. Ultimately, the novel is a meditation on loss, memory, and the invisible threads that connect us. Grief transforms into grace, absence creates space for growth, and life finds its way back to hope. Sophie's journey is both ethereal and deeply human-a story of letting go, moving forward, and the subtle, almost imperceptible ways love endures.

    In a distant future, humans and anthropomorphic animals live side by side in perfect harmony. Sharing cities, careers, and equal rights, they believe this peaceful coexistence is how the world has always been. But when a young human uncovers an erased piece of history, a terrifying truth begins to surface: animals were not always intelligent-and the reason why has been deliberately forgotten. As the revelation spreads, fear replaces trust. Society fractures. Humans turn on animals, animals retreat in terror, and the world teeters on the edge of collapse. Caught in the chaos, a small group of young humans and animals race to uncover the truth behind the lost past-one powerful enough to either heal the world or destroy it forever. The Age of Unison is a gripping science-fiction tale about unity, fear, and the dangerous cost of forgotten history.

    There is a photograph of a little girl standing in a grocery store. The problem is that she feels like a stranger. And that's impossible. I've shared every heartbeat she's ever had. Every birthday. Every bad haircut. Every embarrassing crush. Every dream she was too afraid to say out loud. So why does she feel like someone I've never met? Nobody Was Missing begins with a simple question and spirals into something much stranger. Through childhood memories, teenage mistakes, astrology charts, first loves, heartbreaks, concerts, insomnia, big-city dreams, stray cats, and the quiet loneliness of becoming an adult, one woman attempts to investigate a disappearance she cannot quite explain. Along the way, she discovers that memory behaves more like storytelling than history, that some heartbreaks are actually misunderstandings, and that growing up may be far more mysterious than anyone admits. Part memoir, part philosophy, part psychological exploration, Nobody Was Missing is a book about the people we used to be, the people we're still becoming, and the unsettling possibility that time changes less than we think. For anyone who has ever looked at an old photograph and wondered, "What happened to that person?" this book is an invitation to ask a different question. One that might change everything.

    Death is not always a funeral. Sometimes it is a person you trusted. Sometimes it is the version of yourself that you no longer recognize. It's untimely. abrupt. slow. and always closeby. *The topic is Death* is a collection of confessions that both soothe and unsettle me. These poems explore the beauty and horror of survival - the things that burn us immediately, and the things that consume us drop by drop. Some deaths leave a body. Others leave a person who must learn how to breathe again.

    Hello, fellow Archers and or other heroes and welcome to my writer's place of intrigue! Over the course of the last two years, I've watched through all of the CW's TV show, Arrow, and can I just say... Wow, is it amazing! Honestly, almost every character is interesting in their own right, especially if you add on the fact of how top-notch the show's actors and actresses are. So, I've decided to create a collection of retellings of some of my personal favorite scenes from the series (with some ones that are just awesome thrown in the mix, of course :) For anyone who reads them, I hope they bring you joy and comfort amid the problems we all face during everyday life. Author's Note: Order of scenes will be adjusted to fit their place in the timeline, properly. Requests are always encouraged because I love connecting with my readers! Hope you all enjoy and always remember... "Being happy doesn't mean you don't have issues. It just means that you're working on them." ""I not not own Arrow's characters, nor these scenes. Only the recreations of them."'' "'Some mature themes discussed"'

    Some men are broken by pressure. Others are forged by it. But what happens when the pressure never stops? In the streets of Nairobi, survival is not a choice - it is a daily war fought in silence. Kael Mwangi is twenty-three, ambitious, and drowning. Not in water. In debt, in expectation, in a system that was never built for people like him. He had a plan. He had a blueprint. Then life happened. What begins as an ordinary struggle quietly mutates into something darker - a chain of decisions made in desperation, each one reasonable in the moment, each one pulling him deeper into a world he cannot name out loud. A world where money moves without paper trails. Where loyalty is currency. Where the wrong handshake can cost you everything. He didn't choose this life. This life chose him. As debts multiply and trusted faces begin to wear unfamiliar expressions, Kael realizes the most dangerous thing in his world is not the enemies in front of him - it is the man he is slowly becoming. Every step forward tightens the trap. Every choice rewrites who he is. And somewhere between the first compromise and the last, he must answer the question that will define him: How far would you go - if going back was no longer an option? The Billion-Shilling Blueprint is a raw, psychological thriller about ambition forged in fire, morality tested by hunger, and the invisible war every young African fights alone - between who they were raised to be, and who the world is forcing them to become. The blueprint was supposed to be his salvation. It became his confession.
