They fish the first body from the river just before Thanksgiving, like it swam in with the tide. It's all over the news, staining the conversation as visiting aunts and uncles debate in hushed voices at the dinner table. Everyone has a theory, although most of them sound the same, but it's all table-talk. They care about it in the same roundabout way that they care about local weather patterns, and community college basketball. Then they go back to work after the weekend, back to their own suburban homes in their own whitewashed cities and they forget all about the unidentified body pulled from the waters of Cutlass Keep.
That's when they find the second body, and within the week, a third.
But the case isn't serious until Mr. and Mrs. Kastell are fished out of the river. Mr. and Mrs. Kastell, the elitist of the elite, the faces of Cutlass Keep, are found floating belly-up like goldfish that someone forgot to feed--and suddenly, the city's worried.

Killer Instinct
Three months ago, four kids were run off the road by a drunk driver and pronounced dead at the scene, leaving their families to grieve and wonder why accidents had to happen. The four left behind families, and namely, five specific siblings: all seniors in high school but not all similar. The five don't interact too often, but a common thought brings them together: what if their siblings had been murdered? As they begin to work together to find out who killed their older siblings, the five begin to realize that they might be getting in over their heads--for the four families have secrets that intertwine them beyond what anyone could have imagined, and the five teens find themselves in possession of the very secrets that may have got their siblings killed in the first place.Completa

Hunter
Book 1 of the Hunter Series A family with hunter blood running through their bodies. This family kills any mythical creature they come across, and they are trained to kill and show no emotions towards the enemies. At least, that's how hunters used to be. Hunter's have always had the trouble of killing ever since they got mates that turned out to be the enemy. Some hunter's have had demons, werewolves, vampires, and other mythical creatures as mates. So what happens when every hunter in the world has found a solution to having a 'mate'? Let's just say mythical creatures better beware to what goes bump in the night because there's a new creature coming out into the dark, and they're not afraid of anything. What could possibly happen with there being a new cure to getting rid of mates? *** "Get off me mutt," I growled while still thrashing. I wasn't going to give up that easily, especially to a werewolf. He had me still however when he brought his face closer to my neck. There was no way I was the mate of a mutt, it had to be impossible because I was suppose to be with another hunter to continue the bloodline. "Why do you smell like her?" the alpha growled out at me. I threw him a confused look as if I knew what the hell he was talking about. I had no idea who he meant by 'who' and I didn't want to stay to find out either.Completa
The Gentleman Killer
INTRODUCTION: Missing person reports were just piling up one after another these days. But none of the victims were found alive. After the killer got what he wanted from victim's family, the next day person would be found dead. People are starting to move out from the city. It's gotten worse as hours passed. Phones are ringing at the police stations and 911 calls are getting more and more desperate. Not many things were found out about this town's killer. But, the way people are describing him- yes him- shows that they all see him as an old man called the Gentleman. He got this name from the way he puts his deceased victims bodies. Lying on their back, carefully placed, hair brushed and clean, face without any makeup, but covered with black veil, white nightie with small bouquet in their arms that are placed on their chest. Beautifully horrific sight if you ask me. They all appeared to be women in their early or mid 20s, brunettes with blue eyes, skinny and average height. The Gentleman is described as someone in his late 30s or early 40s, is into art, but mostly sculptures as he shows by placing his victims in recognizable positions. On most of dead women's necks could be seen small tattoos that were assotiated with life and death- butterfly with its wings painted like skull. That was all that we knew of the Gentleman until something happened few days ago...Completa
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.Completa
