*** This book is dedicated to my Boogie Bear & all those who have loved & lost ***
Sometimes the path we are on is not the path to our final destination even when we think we have it figured out. We can fight to stay on the route we feel is best but life and tragedy can easily derail us. Life is what will push and twist that road ahead towards the intended direction of main roads. It is up to us to decide which forks and side streets to take.....
Just over a year ago, Addie lost the love of her life leaving her behind with a shattered heart and an inconsolable soul. As everyone in her world begins to accept the loss of John, the boy her father took in as his own, whom had fallen in love with Addie, she simply refused to accept his death. She lives her life day by day to ease her father's worries but deep down she is a shell of who she once was. Having never believed her John was dead, she keeps her belief of hope a secret and looks for any sign for proof of life. With her family pressing her about her denial and the odds highly against her, she can do nothing but put on a mask for them.
As a chance meeting brings her to a fork in the road yet again, she has a choice to make. Follow her heart and chase a ghost or remain herself a ghost. How can she find the light at the end of the tunnel? Will the headstrong girl she's always been prevail and find the answers she thinks she seeks or will she be the girl everyone expects her to be and accept the fate handed to her?

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back.

Facade Of Perfectionism
'Love is like a child, That longs for everything it can come by' -William Shakespeare _______________________________________________________ Maya Matthews is the description of perfection, or as she has been addressed. She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention. She seems to have everything she could ask for. What could possibly be wrong with her near to perfect life? Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Maya has her demons that she desperately attempts to hide from the world that not a single soul knows about. Shawn Daniels is the perfect storm and the missing puzzle in Maya's life. He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything. You never exactly know when it will strike and turn your life upside down. Love will make you doubt every single thing that you believe in yet you will find yourself drowning in it slowly, very slowly but deeply. _______________________________________________________ All rights reserved © 2020-Shrya1712Complete

Midnight Rose (completed)
*WATTPAD FEATURED & HOT STORY* (Completed) My grandfather had once told me that life was an unpredictable beast-one moment calm with a full belly and heavy eyes, and the next, digging its paws in the dirt, snarling just before it took down its next victim. Until recently, I would argue with that notion, listing all the reasons why my life was as predictable as the tides coming and going. While I listened, I was young and never put much thought into a lot of the things my grandfather told me, but all that changed when the Hunters moved back to Sandpoint. More specifically, Wes Hunter. That was when the impossible became possible and the predictable became unpredictable. As Abigail Rose looked down on her new world, she couldn't deny the things she had seen and all the things she had learned. There were days she wished she could go back to her old life, but she had changed. Evolved. She was no longer a love-struck seventeen year old. She was a chosen leader and her path was undeniable. The black and white was fading to gray, and the only thing between mortals and immortals was her. "Dani Hart's compelling writing style had me hooked from start to finish. I read this book and I am already hanging out for the sequel! This is one of those books that I could gush on about for ages so let me just say that I highly recommend this book to everyone that loves YA- it's definitely a must read!" ~Land of Literature "Midnight Rose is addicting and so good. It's a start of a new world, with so much going on. Author Dani Hart tells the story so beautifully, with teases of so many things, that's to come. As she gives us bits of pieces of what we can look forward to, I was left so excited for the next installment of the Midnight Series." ~Four Chicks Flipping Pages All Rights ReservedComplete
The Miserably Macabre Tales of Luna Samuels
A -sometimes- uplifting story about growing up and overcoming life's challenges. Laugh, cry and smile with our cynical author as she tries to traverse what comes after high school while battling her inner demons, her sexuality and conquering the ever-terrifying world of adulting. "My name is Faith Elizabeth Samuels. Well, it used to be, before I left my fundamentalist helicopter parents and started going by Luna... My counselor tells me writing will help me to 'heal'. Somehow, writing my feelings of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts will negate a lifetime of 'bad feelings' about my self image, mental health and general well-being. Sounds legit. So, fair reader, does my little tale of woe intrigue you? If so, come join my merry band of misfits on this roller coaster of life." *There are no perfect people in this story; no villains, no perfect protagonists and no fairytale romance. There is, however, realistic examples of neurodivergence, discovering yourself, LGBTQIA characters and nuanced depictions of mental health problems, self harm, religious and generational trauma.* Rated Mature (17+) For themes of self-harm, depression, anxiety and some sexuality.Complete
