On the hottest day of August, Ralph Romaniro, star hitter for the Houston Astros, was murdered live on national television. Sports broadcasters gasped as the pitch hit the batter in the head and he fell to the ground. The EMTs rushed out to check the victim, thinking it was just a concusion, and when they picked him up, they found a bullet wound in the back of his head.
The pressure is on Atlanta, Georgia's police department to catch the public enemy #1 who murdered baseball's golden boy. Will detectives Alvarez and Mercer be able to catch the killer(s?) before they get away for good?

Alexander, Carly, and the Blood Farm (OLD AND BAD)
In Bradford High School in Georgia, and in the town itself, Alexander could easily be considered one of, if not the school's best basketball underdog. But in more recent times, all of that may be thrown out the window all together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Bradford, Georgia, everything seems and feels different than the rest. The townspeople there are known for four main things. Camping, hiking, and fun around the two local lakes, mass wildlife hunting, the basketball players at its highschool, and it's tragedy from the mid-19th century resulting in its many overlooked adaptations during the time of Autumn around the date of the accident. However, things begin to stir up once a pair of sisters show up with unknown and unclear intentions. But soon, they attract the attention of Alexander Phillips, referred to as one of the Bradford Baskatball Heros of the school's basketball team. Not long after though, several citizens are found dead with a murderer left on their town's hands. Luckily, it doesn't take very long for Alexander, the younger sister Carly, and many others to realize what's going on behind the curtain, leaving them in a race against time to save their town and maybe even the world from the paranormal wrath of the tragedy's fallout. This work is inspired by (including but not limited to): "Stranger Things" by the Duffer Brothers, "Scary Stories to tell in the dark" by CBS Films, Halloween Kills by Universal Pictures, and likely a lot more that I didn't mention(but if you see your/someone else's content, I DIDN'T WILLINGLY COPY THEM OK).Concluida
Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within
His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.

The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Concluida
Another dumb teen book
"Oh I..I'm I'm..?" The words wouldnt form. I backed up slowly as he cocked his head to the side, confusion on his face. Then he did the last thing I expected, he smiled. A face splitting smile that sent shivers down my spine. This was it I was going to die. I hit some kind of nerve and sent him over the egde. I closed my eyes preparing myself for the worst. I opened them to see him coming towards me. I backed up until I hit wall behind me. He kept coming until he was inches from my face. He slammed his hands on either side of my head, blocking any exit. I kept my eyes on anything but his face. "I'm.. I didn't..please" What happens when the new guy in school is a convicted felon? Sadie is a good girl but she gets lost in his troubled past. When sex betryal and murder get thrown into the mix will they survive or will they crash and burn.Concluida

Scream: A Newtmas Murder Mystery
[EDIT] THE STORY IS UNDERGOING SOME REVISIONS SO THAT IT WON'T BE CRINGEY. I wrote this three years ago, so cut me some slack people. [EDIT 2] THE STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REVISED. I edited a lot. Entire chapters are changed, the dilemma, the songs, the interactions, and even the deaths have all been made, in my mind, better. I really wanted to make this a thriller, but I also wanted mature elements in here, and I definitely didn't want you guys to read anything cringey. So, this is the final director's cut of my novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy and appreciate my revisions. Thanks so much. [EDIT 3] Okay I'm still not satisfied I need to keep updating the parts so sorry everyone lmao The inhabitants of Mazeboro, CA have never seen too much trouble, especially not a string of murders that begin to happen all over town. Newton and his friends are shocked and horrified as two of their friends are among the first to be murdered. And in the midst of this disorder, newcomer Thomas Greene brings a breath of fresh air to the students at Mazeboro High. He plays lacrosse, has a kind disposition, and is quite attractive. He catches Newt's attention, and the two form a strong friendship, despite the murders hitting closer and closer to home. Newt and Thomas, along with their friends, must band together and act as one. But, as less and less people remain, fingers are pointed and distrust ensues. Paranoia settles in. Newt must determine who is guilty and who is not, before every single person is dead. A classic Murder Mystery tale, with romance, drama, and plot twists.Concluida
