Jordan Court is "that new girl". She has moved again, this time into the contemporary master-planned community of Birnam, a high tech gated paradise for upper-middle class families seeking good schools for their kids, a super-sized version of the American dream, and the safety and social status of a new suburban enclave for their neuroses.
Starting her senior year at Birnam High School, Jordan has only one goal: to go off to college as far away from her father as she can-and to never come back. But she'll need more than her usual good grades, athletic accomplishments, extra-curriculars, and sky-high test scores to do it.
Will Johnson, also a senior, has hard work ahead of him, too. A basketball player who's never quite lived up to his own expectations, he no longer knows how, if, or even why going to college makes any sense. But nothing else makes any sense either.
Part thriller, part romance, part coming of age story, part paranormal mystery, part near-future dystopic sci-fi, "Jordan's Run" is about that "What do I do now?" feeling so many kids experience in their last year of high school-and the myriad pressures they struggle with placed upon them by parents, teachers, friends, society, and themselves.

Rimelion: The Exploiter
What is reality? I was John-now Charlie, a woman with a VR game tester's cunning and a professional whiskey enthusiast's attitude. But then AIs have risen, and my job evaporated faster than last night's drink. Just when I hit rock bottom, this punk kid-barely old enough to shave-dropped a bombshell: "Reality's just a simulation." Sure, buddy. I laughed it off. Until I woke up twenty years in the past. Now, thanks to a hacking mishap, I'm a regular girl in reality-with a debt and an attitude-navigating Rimelion, the VR game I once mastered, as Charlie, an elven priestess with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Seriously though, fighting in high heels? Will I claw my way up the nobility ladder? Dominate the rankings? Outwit the government and their plans to exploit us all? Maybe. But something's off. The game feels too real. My memories don't line up, and everyone has their own version of what's true. Simulation? Reality? The lines are a blur-and I'm stuck in the middle. If I want to stop a dystopian future, I'll need allies, both in-game and out. Oh, and avoid ticking off the AIs hunting me for bending the rules. Survival's a long shot-but I was never one to play fair anyway. *** What to expect: - Light LitRPG story with an emphasis on strategy and world-building - First-person perspective (and occasional close third POVs) - A witty protagonist with a conversational sarcastic, humorous and often self-deprecating voice - A sci-fi world with mysteries sprinkled with fantasy elements - A rich game world system with kingdoms, rules, exploits, and challenges - Supporting characters with personal goals Schedule: * Posting on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub, here after bulk is done
The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

My Mate, My Omega, My Luna, My Best Friend's Brother
Okay, y'all... I wrote this when I was 13 (over 5 years ago as of 2024) and this was honestly my polyam awakening. This was supposed to only be a bxb, and turned into a bxbxbxbxb (with like 20 kids). I would love to say that my writing has improved (and it has, substantially), but that cannot be seen on my profile currently. If you love cringy werewolf books, this is for you! Now... on to the description! Kyle is a gay omega. His dad abuses him because his mom died during his birth. His only salvation is finding a mate on his 16th birthday, in 6 days. His older brother (Kade) is the soon to be beta of his pack, and actually stands up for him. His brother's best friend, Jordan, is he soon to be alpha. Jordan has been given everything he wants in life, and is about to be given the alpha title. His father, the alpha of the Red Moon Pack, abuses his little mate constantly, as well as his mate's dad. Nobody knows that he has a mate, and nobody will know.... Until his mate's 16th birthday. Or will he tell someone? Will someone figure it out? What will happen when Kyle finds his mate? Will Jordan be rejected? Will Kyle finally be happy? Will Kyle and Jordan's past come back to haunt them or make them happy? And who are the mysterious Royal Twins that only want their mates? Will they do anything to get them? Started: 07-15-19 Finished: 08-22-20 🥰Complete
Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One)
"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets. The pressure on the body because of a conflict with his decision not to mate with you and his wolf's need to mate carries a huge risk." BLACK MOON Book One completed a stand-alone story. ***** Alpha Mikkeli Blackwood is strong, but he wasn't always strong. His past was painful and full of fear until because of his first kill he gained respect. Now 27 he rules his pack with an iron fist as an Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. Even though strict and merciless Mikkeli is a fair leader who values power a little too much. With a sudden exposure to his older brother's secrets, he is forced to give shelter and protection to relatives he has never expected to have. To make matter worse one of them is 19 years old human girl who seems to be the first one in years not to show any respect for him... Hannah has just lost her parents and is now faced with the responsibility to raise her 3 werewolf siblings being human herself along with a sudden danger lurking in the shadows. Forced to trust those she was taught to never trust, Hannah has to face a completely new life in the werewolf pack ruled by forceful Alpha Blackwood. Although werewolves shouldn't have secrets from their pack, Hannah is to find out that Blackwood Pack is full of secrets and some of them are deadly... „The book had all sorts of elements of emotions like mystery, romance, guilt, etc. I loved the plot, glad it's not a regular rejection book. Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse).
