Twentysomething Stories

This book is a raw, reflective journey through fear, self awareness, faith, and healing. Told through quiet moments, spontaneous drives, music, and inner dialogue, it explores what it means to sit with discomfort instead of fighting it and to slowly learn self compassion. Blending personal experience with spirituality, autism, and mental health, the author reflects on how fear can shift from a burden to a guide, and how presence, honesty, and small perspective changes can lead to meaningful growth. This is not a story of perfection or instant healing, but of learning to move forward gently, imperfectly, and with faith.

Falling into someone is easy. Falling into yourself is the part no one warns you about. Aria is learning that love doesn't always arrive gently. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes it heals, and sometimes it asks you to become someone braver than you were before. Set against late nights, quiet ache, and the slow unraveling of becoming, Falling Into Me is a New Adult romance about self-discovery, emotional intimacy, and the kind of love that changes you - even when it doesn't stay. Some loves don't save you. They wake you up.

Falling in love came easy for Alice Jane and Blaise. But when an accidental pregnancy on the cusp of his father's campaign threatens the moral high ground the senator champions, decisions are made that change the trajectory of the young lovers lives. As tragedy stacks upon tragedy for Alice Jane, the question becomes not how will she overcome these profound losses, but will she? Finding 'happily ever after' is never easy, but nothing that is easy is worth fighting for.

So, I'm kinda clumsy. I tripped when I walked across the stage to receive my high school diploma, knocked down a ladder that was supporting my dad, and sneezed into a wall. Yup, you read that right. I sneezed myself into a wall. So maybe I am a walking train-wreck trapped in a lanky twenty-two-year-old girl's body. At least my family loves me-tolerates me might be a better way of phrasing it-but even with my clumsiness I'm still able to get by with minimal craziness and just a whole lot of embarrassment. A whole lot. That is until the fateful September day I find myself chasing a chicken into a wedding cake. My sister's wedding cake. . . on her wedding day. . . in the middle of the reception. . . in front of two hundred other guests. I've got a new number one on my list of embarrassing moments, but this time I swear it wasn't my fault. I blame that chicken, my grandma, and the stupid bowtie she put on it, probably hoping to marry me off, so she can have the best man all to herself. Okay, fine, so maybe it was totally my fault, but. . . This is how it happened ©2018 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting

Ghostbusters meets X-Men in a creepy urban fantasy adventure! "A pocket watch. She bought a pocket watch and it killed her. And I thought how we died was bad." As far as apartments go, roommates Stella and Charlotte "Bronte" believe theirs to be just fine. Sure, they hate taking the stairs up to the third floor, especially after grocery shopping.

But when the two ghosts encounter a dark creature unlike any they've seen before, they might have to rethink their plan. The two girls might be the key to saving their afterlives.

It's summer break at Eden College, but Jillian Scott is taking a couple of dance classes and working some odd jobs -- very odd jobs.

And the modeling job requires her to pose in the nude. To make matters worse, an impossible calico cat leads her to her grandmother -- a woman she is forbidden to meet -- just as the old woman dies... and bestows on her the family legacy.

(Fanfiction of Diamond Girls by Jacqueline Wilson).

Sarah Laker's memory is alive. Alive with the dead. Experiences of strange phenomena are the norm within 28-year-old Sarah's farmhouse. Armed with borrowed equipment, she sets out to prove the place is haunted. A haunting is easier to accept than the possibility that she's losing her sanity, just like her father, but with each passing day her grip on reality as she knows it slips a little further away. Sarah's old college friends, Duncan and Luke, provide her with support and relief from the never-ending worry. Bound together through grief at the age of eighteen, the prospect of becoming more than friends has always lingered in the background. Will friendship and the potential for romance be enough to set Sarah's feet on solid ground, or will she slide into madness like those who've gone before her? Set in the tranquil countryside of East Anglia during the final year of the twentieth century, some of these events are fictional and some are based in reality. The author leaves it up to you to wade into the haunting echoes of the world beyond our knowledge and decide which is which.
