When she stumbles over an antique doll at the construction site of a new barn, a series of inexplicable occurrences force her to question whether her condition as a "highly-sensitive person" is to blame or if something more sinister is at play.
As Brynlei becomes consumed with discovering the history of the unearthed doll, the bizarre happenings escalate to dangerous levels. She soon realizes that someone close to her is lying. But who? Could a decades-old tragedy and the threatening events at Foxwoode be more closely entwined than she ever imagined?

The Girl Who Rode The Golden Horse
Emmeryn Cosette. Just a whisper of her name, and gossip breaks out among the town as fast as you could say magic wand. The fair, ivory-skinned brunette, very petite, intelligent, and shy. Rumor is she has barely ever spoken a word, but that’s probably a lie. The lass has a horse, that responds to no one but her, who she rides to earn her keep, the golden horse that prances and leaps. Emmeryn Cosette, everyone knows her name. I wonder who fault that was, who is to blame. Cover by Broken_Completa
The Eventers Club
Evelyn Holloway's life seemed perfect. Being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon and a professional model meant that everything was handed to her on a gold plated platter, even if she didn't want it. With her pedigreed horses and world-class riding instructors, Eves life revolved around horses. However, Eve is constantly under the watch of her parents' critical eyes with expectations of nothing less than perfectionism. To top everything off, Eve had learned that people always try to use her for her status and money. Eve believes she'll never meet a decent person who could look past her wealth, someone she could maybe call a friend. ...Then she meets Ashleigh Ashleigh Sutton is Eves polar opposite. Rocked by her parents' crippling divorce, the only thing Ashleigh seems to have left in her life is her love of horses and a passion for riding. However, her parents' split has left her with barely enough money to afford anymore riding lessons, much less her dream...a horse of her own. Worse, Ashleigh has learned that the people she thought were her friends were really only being her friends out of pity. Ashleigh feels as if there is nobody in the world who can look past her less than desirable home situation and be a true friend. ...Then she get's a job at Eves stable. Working all summer in exchange for riding lessons and showing opportunities seemed like a dream come true for Ashleigh and having a group of people her age with the same love for horses seemed perfect for Eve. However, the group of aspiring equestrians is more competitive than either girl had thought, everyone fighting for the top spot. Time for a summer filled with horses, drama...and maybe friendship...Completa

A touch of fancy

To make matters worse, one night she is deemed to be immortal starting at the age of 26. Now she must desperately try to find out who this girl is before she slips from her fingers.

Stuck (In Search of the Non-existent)
Summary: The last day of Summer Camp '98 was the start of Phillip Harris' calvary. Surviving a traumatic event and losing the most important person in his life in just one night caused him great torment and suffering. Now, fourteen years have passed, and he's still stuck-stuck in search of something he couldn't grasp, a person he couldn't find, and a feeling he hadn't felt for a very long time. --- Foreword: This is my first original novel-a story about love and tragedy, of trauma and rumination, of losing and forgiving one's self, of a hope for reunion and second chances... or a hope for a new love and acceptance of the past. This story is set on different timelines: 1997 and 1998 as the past, while 2012 as the present while there will be an epilogue in the year I finish this story (hopefully 2016) just to give a glimpse of what happened after years of the story's conclusion. I started drafting this around 2022-2023 but back then it was all just drafts, so I really hope I can finish this soon, at least in 2026. -- Warning: There are some derogatory words here as some part of the book was set in the 90's and my main character was bullied as a teenager. There will be character developments throughout though, I promise. Although I put a bit of myself to some characters, most of their quirks, hobbies, perception, and personality don't reflect the author's own ones :)
Hooves on the Heart: Book 1 Start of Steele
The Fagan family has always loved horses, and now they're making their lifelong dream a reality-starting a horse farm in Tennessee, specializing in race-bred Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Fagan and their five children: fifteen-year-old Khloe, fourteen-year-old Noel, eight-year-old Nathan, and five-year-old twins Allie and Ariah. Khloe is heartbroken about leaving her home and friends in Kentucky, but the excitement of owning a horse farm-especially the chance to have a horse of her own-makes the move easier. She has dreamed of this moment for as long as she can remember. But there's one problem: her family's budget is tight, and they can only afford to buy mares for their breeding and training program. While accompanying her dad to a horse auction, Khloe stumbles upon a stunning dapple-gray Quarter Horse mare-her dream horse. But this mare isn't just wild-she's been abused, broken, and has lost all trust in humans. Now, Khloe faces two challenges: convincing her dad to buy the mare and, if she succeeds, proving to the frightened horse that they are meant to be. But with a horse this damaged, the journey won't be easy. Can Khloe earn the mare's trust, or will someone get hurt in the process?Completa

Blue
Blue is living example of how brutal the foster system is. The only way she knows how to protect herself is by pushing everyone away, to detach herself from those around her. Trust isn't something she knows how to do. Self-sabotage on the other hand-it's her best talent. After another failed attempt at finding a family, Blue decides to run. She'd rather take her chances alone on the streets than go through another gruelling process of trying to fit in with a new family who would never understand her. Convinced she's destined to be alone, fate intervenes and Blue cross paths with a horse who seems just as lost as she is. She can't explain it, the undeniable connection she feels with the stallion. But whenever she looks at him, she can see her own pain and fear reflect in his eyes-something they both seem to find comfort in. A deep friendship blossoms. A dynamic of mutual understanding and trust is found in the most unlikely way. But with it comes the shadows of a past that threatens to tear them apart and ruin the special bond forged between them. This is a tale of how two lost souls find hope in the most unexpected way, and their fight to protect it.Completa
