Bodies suddenly start piling up when a Count passes through Ashville, whether by coincidence or not, and Alallia is the first to notice. Being a woman in the 1700's, no one listens to her when she discovers that none of the victims are actually dead.
When her father suddenly also becomes a victim of these 'False Deaths', Alallia only has a certain amount of time to save him before it's too late. With the help of the Count, she starts digging around to solve the mystery of why and who is responsible for these horrendous acts.
What Alallia doesn't know, is that the people she believes she can trust, are the ones willing to stab her in the back.
Can Alallia really trust the Count? If not, who could she trust? And why is the Count really in Ashville?

Wives' Murder Club
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)
The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉
In Your Head: A Murdle Ghost!AU Fanfic
"Never enter a graveyard." That is the phrase Deductive Logico heard his entire life. Even more so than "stranger danger" or "brush your teeth." And sure, wandering alone unsupervised is not the best idea, but the reasoning everyone gave him? Ghosts. He never believed in ghosts, or anything supernatural for that matter. You live, you die, you decompose, and that is it. As someone who has been solving murders for the past year or so, it was a hard truth he had to face. Sure, this put him at odds with his rival: the esoteric Inspector Irratino, but nothing could convince him otherwise. So... what happens when things stop adding up? What happens when twenty years' worth of secrets start to unravel? What happens when nobody can see what he's experienced? Logico finds himself with information he should have no way of knowing, and even the basics of the world he lives in are thrown into question. Irratino has one last case for the deductive to solve... Can he do it?Complete
