When I saw the Darkness, I was not stricken with fear. Curiosity drew me closer, until I was no more. Then the darkness took hold of me. It consumed me, like it did many others before me.
For years I'd hoped no one would ever find me, find it.
But I was found. I was released into the world.
Darkness is coming to snuff out the Light.
And there's no stopping it.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete

The Last Day
There was never even me and you. There was only me waiting for you. It seems like I have always been here, in this space of time. Never moving an inch forward nor an inch behind. And its safe to say, that you will always expect thing between us to be this way. I was the net you fell on when you jumped too high, only to fall back down. But I'm tired of waiting when everything moves ahead and I'm still here behind, waiting for you to come back. And so I close the chapter, as my ink dries, knowing those words written or said could never be taken back. Even those unsaid ones that just lay between us. Now as I stand alone, isolated, while everything speeds past me, I slowly blink and let the weight fall from my arms. Because there never really was me and you. There will only be you waiting for me. ------ A story about a girl trying to mend her heart while finding her passion. But it seems impossible until Chris shows her otherwise.Complete
The Clown (Boys Of Elmwood)
Book 2 of Boys Of Elmwood (Can be read as standalone) It was a dangerous world I lived in, a world where addiction was rampant, and everyone was trying to find a quick fix. And I was no different. I was addicted, so obsessed that I couldn't see anything else but that rush that drugs gave me. That was until I found something far better than drugs. Someone, in fact. He seemed to understand me in a way nobody else did. He knew what I needed and when I needed it. But he wasn't the only one. There was another man in the shadows, one who wouldn't let me go no matter what I did. One who had a twisted obsession with me and wouldn't leave me alone. We all had our demons. It was just about keeping them at bay, but even then, there are some demons that refuse to let you go.
Crowned in Fire, Drowned in Frost
Don't scroll past. Not this one. I won't spoil a thing. No names. No plot. No hints. Don't ask what it's about. I won't tell you. I won't need to. All I'll say is-read the note. Let it slip under your skin. Let it stir something you didn't expect. If you feel that pull... don't fight it. Give in. One page. One taste. That's all it takes. And after that? You'll chase every word like it's a sin you're dying to repeat. Decide now. Step in. And find out what you were never supposed to know. Then turn the page... And let everything find you. No summaries. No warnings. Only the pull of something you didn't know you were looking for. Keep going- You'll understand soon enough. 🖤 When fire collides with frost, something rare is born- Not quite a burn. Not quite a freeze. Something that lingers... and changes everything. She's fierce, untamed-refusing to be anyone's pawn. He's ice in human form-calm, calculated, dangerously composed. But when their worlds crash, the rules they lived by begin to fracture. She won't bow. He won't bend. Yet somehow, they're unraveling-in each other's orbit. In this slow, simmering war of pride and power, what becomes of fire and frost... When neither wants to melt first?
