My eyes shot open adjusting into the darkened space, the only source of light coming from my old blue lamp as it cast a soft glow, illuminating the shadows of my possessions, the coat handing on the back of my door producing a large figure on the side of my white wall.
“That’s me.” I fell off the bed.

Life After Death (Book 1 of After Death Trilogy)
COMPLETED! First book of the After Death Trilogy. --------------------------- My life ended with a stupid fall. My afterlife began in a monster-infested realm called Injusto. --------------------------- I always thought Death would be peaceful. An end to the struggle, the pain, the quiet exhaustion of just existing. I was so wrong. I woke up in Injusto, a realm of lost souls and terrifying creatures, and learned that death wasn't an end, but a violent, chaotic second chance. Here, survival is a daily battle, and god-like Ethereals bestow cryptic blessings that feel more like burdens. My only plan was to not die a second, even more embarrassing, time. Then he appeared. Krin, a stoic Dragon-Lord from a secret, floating sanctuary. He saved me, offering a glimpse of something I thought was lost forever: hope. My second chance is turning into an epic quest I'm not ready for. And I'm not sure I'll ever be. ========== Copyright Copyright © 2025 by Claire Burns. All rights reserved.

E-BOOK AND PAPERBACK AVAILABLE ON AMAZON NOW!! - - - MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY - - - When you're born, you are born with an engraving tattooed upon your skin. It is given to you, to determine what man or woman should be your lover. Who should be with you forever once you find them. If you find them. It's a mark that is only half-finished, the other half left on your soulmate's body. Heat emerges on the area of your mark when they're near, and cold grows the farther you are apart. For Anna Cardale, her shoulder is covered in what looks to be half of a wing. A beautiful red and delicate wing. She's quiet, stoic, and doesn't let anyone in. And she certainly doesn't care for a "soulmate" ever since escaping a terrifying past life. But when she moves to a new town and to a new school with a new care home family, her skin heats up. She feels her stomach churn in unnerved expression. It's as if something is yearning to pull her closer. And then she sees him. For it wasn't something that pulled her in. It was someone. And just like her, demons are living deep inside of his soul. Dreaded demons that keep him company. Can she heal him? Or is the other way around? Or perhaps the demons are always the ones who prevail... - - - "I'm sad that this wonderful book is coming to an end. 😢" - LlexieD "This book was phenomenal!

Beyond the Pain - Book #1 Evergreen Series
"You are safe." She paused for a moment, her gaze fixed to the wall in front of her. "But you're not free." AFTER LILY JONES LOSES EVERYTHING she holds dear, she does everything in her power to forget her pain. She breaks all ties and moves across the country. But when she is forcefully taken to Evergreen, a breathtaking but mysterious mansion where she is ordered to work as a maid for its equally enigmatic inhabitants, she is robbed of the only thing she had left: her freedom. There, she encounters two groups of people. Those who, like herself, have been ripped of their independence and forced into servitude, and their young, rich and austere captors, the Evergreen people. As she gets familiar with life in her peculiar prison, memories that she kept buried try to resurface and she starts to suspect that the secrets kept within the walls of Evergreen might be more unnatural and dangerous than she could ever imagine. Will she be able to save herself and her new family from the storm that threatens to break on Evergreen or will her repressed guilt and fears cause her to lose the people she cares about once again?Completa![Moments [H.

Moments [H. Styles]
COMPLETED Warning: This story will contain self-harm, sexual abuse, and drug abuse. Read at your own risk. Death. It's nature's way of telling us that while it was a good run, it was time for the end. Everyone dies, but that's not important. The moments that lead up to your last breath are what matters, right? It's never been about your final moments, it's what leads up to them that count. Make them great. Live. Make memories, make the moment count. [lots of short chapters in the beginning with the less important stuff] Full credit to manip creators whose work I used in cover.Completa
