When Heaven And Hell Aligned
This is an original story about an angel/demon power struggle on earth for a man who could unite or destroy them both. 25-year-old Carter lives a shattered life trying to escape the pain and confusion left by his abandonment by his parents immediately after his birth without realising the ground-breaking secret they've left him within his mysterious heritage. At first unaware that Lucifer really existed, he is led down the stunning path of realisation about this shadowed world by a chipper, unassuming young demon who only wants to protect him, but can't seem to avoid the constant pull of trouble he finds himself in. The title is an extract from Marilyn Manson's song 'The Reflecting God'. All chapter covers and book cover are my original photos. Updates every Wednesday :)Complete

The Man with the Devil's Tongue (A Prologue to the End of the World and Some Other Things)
April Frausini can see ghosts. When she was younger, her parents had treated her like a child with a broken brain. They took April to doctors. The doctors sent her to specialists. The specialists put her on drugs. And when the drugs failed to stop the visions, the specialists zapped her brain. After that, April told them that the ghosts had gone. She lied. Now she’s in college and trying to forge a future for herself, but a chance encounter with a dark spirit in a bar puts a bit of a hold on things. A man named Jameson Talbot reaches out to her, explaining that there are worse things than ghosts to be afraid of. The spirit she saw the other night was no mere ghost, but the Devil himself in spectral form. If she chooses, Talbot promises to teach her to control her gift of sight, so that they may help others who have been tormented by these spirits, and potentially put a stop to whatever the Devil has planned. April must choose. Go back to a life where nobody understands her or her visions? Or follow Talbot, find a purpose, and walk down a dangerous path in search of the Devil himself?Complete

Clara's Encounter
In a world full with too many characters, defined and undefined. We live to believe that there exist the fortunate and the unfortunate, the rich and the poor, the good and the bad, but what people seize to believe is that the devil was actually an angel and if possible he could still return to the angel he was, but that we presume is a story for another day. Being a graduate of the medical field, and the first child of an average family in Nigeria, faced with the challenges and pressures of life, and the being reminded about the achievements she dreamt to accomplish while she was young, she is determined to do them even if she passes through the bizarre and dreadful parts of life. But we can't predict if she made it or not, or could we? In this fascinating and thought-provoking saga, she focuses her attention on searching for a glimmer of hope, a chance to prove herself to her world, and then like a whisper, in the darkness, make the unknown known. A presence that would challenge the very fabric of her existence, and of course rewrite her approved story.
