This is the story of a girl named Acrid, and how she was forced to battle everyone of her days out in an unforgiving orphanage with cruel people. One day the thought of leaving crosses her mind. At these insane orphanages, attempting to leave would already be hard enough because of the crazy living facilities, and life would only get worse when she left. Where would she go? The streets would be her only choice. Plus how could she leave without her two closes friends Cynthia and Xander? They also have to live in the same unforgiving conditions as her, but could she risk dragging her best friends into the dangers of leaving and the terrors of the streets?
So then, Acrid is faced with the question. "Do I leave? Or do I stay?"

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
Spellbound Love (Book 1)
Life is a gift that everyone of us in this world has. It is something that anyone would never want to lose unless there is something that urges him or her to do so. One thing that life doesn't involve is death. Death is believed to come after life. However, what if things get horribly mashed up? What if, it happens to be life-death and not just that? What if death is not the end of one's life? What if life happens to come twice? Would these what ifs happen in reality? Or, would this only remain as a fantasy? If this fantasy becomes a reality, the moon must be behind it. The moon which kept its wonders in deep silence will now open it and start to tell stories, those which involve the memories of a life only worth telling about. "Spellbound Love" is the story of a 17-year old girl, Avyn, who struggles for her family, especially for her sick father.

As to how she knows about it from time to time, she does it with the help of a person she never thought would bring a big impact to the maze, her dreams are taking her. Would the pieces be brought together after so much tales her mind creates during the night? Or, would she just disregard it and continue life?Complete
A Pet for the Dragons
❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates
