This biography of personal philosophy was started when I was inebriated, the middle bit was done when enlightened and the ending wrote itself.
I've dipped in and out of this between life, work, parenting, writing a fiction novel or two, training and healing along the whole way. These are the words that come to me about, well, everything; the way the world works and indeed doesn't work in my eyes. Whether it will work in the end remains to be seen but indeed during the two years I've been writing this the world has changed, both for the better and the worse. Wars, murder, politics, religious hysteria and mass hate has been balanced by an increase in enlightenment, acceptance of alternative therapies and widespread use of 'mindfulness' and the will for peace. In this time societies have stretched to the limits of depravity and saintliness and I presume will eventually break or twang back to an uncomfortable medium. Whilst it has been horrible to watch at times I have to admit that these extremes are necessary for a population to understand how far it can and should go, like a small child who tests at being good and bad to see it's parents reactions before settling into a balanced middle ground.
The question there is, what are the parents like? Well, as I see it, Dad's a bit of a devil and Mum's an angel so I'm sure the kid will turn out alright in the end.

*MATURE CONTENT* Reine finally returns to her pack after four years of being away. Four years of learning, maturing and growing into the woman she became. However, upon her return, she's faced with two men. The two men she's been running from those four years. The Alphas. Her scandalous past with both the brothers could be easily judged but what happens when one turns out to be her mate? ***********EXTRACT*********** "Mate," I whisper under my breath. "Thank the goddess, I wasn't sure how long I could keep this up," Adam says, a look of relief flushing his face and reddening his cheeks. For a while I don't say anything, I just stare. Stare at the beauty of a boy I've known for 22 years but revel in the hotness of my mate I'm meeting now. A flurry of emotions swell within me, happiness that Adam's my mate, relief to have found him, fear because he's an Alpha which means I'm his Luna but mostly guilt. Overwhelming guilt that while Adam believes that I've only ever been with him, I was also with his brother. Guilt that while he'd waited 5 years for me to finish school just to be with me that last night I was with his brother... his twin brother. Gut retching nausea hits me and the urge to throw up hits me like a wave. I sprint to the nearest bathroom I know of down the hall, while Adam trails behinds me, and stick my head in the toilet seat not even realising that the shower's running.
The White Witch *COMPLETE*
I'm playing a very dangerous game, or so I've been told. I've also been told to care more about keeping myself alive. But this isn't about me. This is about all the Humans who have lost their lives at the hands of a Vampire. This is about the Witches whose magical blood draws in the Vampires who ultimately destroy them. This is about my mother, who I watched die at the hands of one of them. But not before he tortured her in front of my brother and I for days. These monsters think they have nothing to fear. That they can just tear through our lives without consequences. Well, that stops with me. I am the White Witch and they will learn to fear me. **THIS IS THE FIRST DRAFT AND RIDDLED WITH MISTAKES.

The Monster Amongst Us
When you're little you're surrounded by people that you're supposed to trust and feel safe with. The people God gave you are supposed to protect and nourish you, they're supposed to encourage positive growth, teach you right from wrong. So where along the lines, does an urge so sinister come into the mix? How are you taught to handle dealing with these types of situations, that most people don't have to face in their lifetime? How can anyone then stand by, defending these acts created against an innocent child? Feeling ostracized by every family member or person they have ever had to tell their truth to, some just to defend the monster? How can you then justify this? Love is love right? No matter the cost, right? How about falling in love with someone so manipulative, so deceitful, so evil and cruel, a cold hard liar. Claiming they are a child of God yet disguised as the Devil himself wreaking havoc, trauma and so much hurt and pain on innocent beings? It's time to face the judgement that lies ahead of all the evil they've committed. Here we dive into..... The Monsters Amongst Us.Complete

The Revelation
In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.Complete
My new form
On my 16th birthday I thought my dad was a nut case. He talked about being a witch and werewolf hybrid mix in a long line of the almost extinct crescent moon pack. My twin brother and I would never see each other after our transition. Only the stronger twin would survive. I didn't expect it to be me. I always thought I was the weaker twin. Now I'm the lone survivor of my pack. Training starts immediately. My mother was gone, my brother was dead and apparently I was a wanted witch-wolf hybrid by powerful deadly beings. My survival depended on this training. I was the sole survivor and the most strongest alpha in the world. All I had to do was find my strength and train. I needed to build my pack from scratch. Of course my brothers best friend was my omega. Could things get worse? The answer is yes. Things could get worse. Much much worse.Complete
Cap'n iZak Löw and His First Mate Zeni Corvera in the Reflective Auto Geneses
This is the Prequel to an epic novel series we are working on, lyrics and poem and psalms explaining the psychology bewixt the Mystic Artist and my Muse and Bride, Two Spirits who walk the Veil Between Worlds. Here we do our best to use world religions, history, ancient mysticism, our own poetry and "Wordsmything" and divining, astrology, psychological and neurological journey to discovering our sharing one body, and the beginning of our mind's organic introspective geneses of mythologies and prophecies surrounding both our inner microcosm, the Mirrored Cosmos, and the outer macrocosm, the Unreflected Cosmos-anchoring it to our own spiritual beliefs as Ashkenazi Kabbalist and Spanish Catholic Mystic. Zeniyah was murdered five miles west of my home at five years old when I was only one. Our mothers were the same age, same look and build, both alone for long periods of time, and fate had it that I survived instead of the girl who grew up alongside me as my guardian and wife. Obviously, our names are not the same as our past incarnations before we were reborn and married unto each other, both to protect our families and to underline the fact that since uniting as one flesh, we are not the same as we once were. Now, we recognise our beliefs are diverse and likely controversial to the wider world, which is why we wanted to publish them here first. We anchored ourselves to one another at the end of the Mayan Calendar, started awakening as Aquarian Ascendants when the Star of David reached its zenith in 2020, when the Age of Aquarius began. Any collaborative responses with respect and not harsh criticism are welcome, as we are trying to understand ourselves and how to approach telling our story as respectful to all beliefs as possible, to help others as much as us to grow and accept ourselves. The land where we grew up, which violent abuse is forcing us to leave, was originally Seminole land before ancestors of modern Anglo-Saxons here forced these tribes to leave as well.
The Book of Voltaire: Descent To Madness
I'm an emotional dependent vampire. I do not need to feed on mortal blood, all I need is people's energy. I give them a good laugh, and I absorb that positive energy. If I were to absorb negative energy, I would feel worse than they do. Not only that, I am also a delusional psychic. Being a delusional psychic gives me pros and cons of my daily life. 50/50 of my premonitions are either delusion or any actual foreshadowing of the future like a seer and the way I could read people's minds so easily. I have this profound power of knowing things instantly that is impossible for me to even know, to the point that I shouldn't even know them. It is a creative and intuitive talent that helps me write books as I could use clairvoyance around the surrounding area and beyond, in order for me to write as much as information as I can. Such as "auto-writing" while astral projecting.Complete
