All Allie Sanders wanted was to survive high school, go to college and be far away from her superficial schoolmates and abusive alcoholic mother. Enter her last year and strange things start to happen around her: a woman's voice in her head, incidents she can't explain, and strange dreams that felt so real. If those weren't enough, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared in her life, some attacking her, others protecting her, while they bombarded her with stories about an old family that has served Hell for centuries and the girl whose body housed seven very powerful demons. Now, Allie found herself fighting for her life, all the while asking: What is her part in all of this?
This is the first book in The Demon Temples Trilogy.
**WARNING** ~ Some people mentioned this and were shocked so I should probably just warn future readers. There are chapters here that contained very graphic or gruesome scenes. Not good, I think, for those with really active imaginations. Don't want you guys to have nightmares and mini heart attacks. ^^" Offensive language is also quite present. So you've been warned. Sort of. Sooooo.... Brace yourselves and enjoy...? d^^b

Chanced |Third book in The Risen Saga|
Third book in The Risen Saga. After the death of the group's beloved friend, everyone is in a turmoil; Emma's heartbroken, Ava's rage finally lit to a bonfire, and Tyson falling into a pit of his own sorrows and self-harming ways. With Seth on the run and Abaddon breaking through the barriers in everyone's head, nobody feels safe. But how do they hide from the things outside their safe haven when they're scared of what's in their heads? They reinforce Headquarters with spells and traps but have doubt that it will be enough. Ava thought they were finally done dealing with her monster, but, clearly, she was wrong. Tyson starts blacking out and ending up in places that he has no recollection of how he got there. And Emma is ready to go on a manhunt, only, every time she even thinks of that night, she breaks down in a heap of her own blood and tears. The world is falling apart around them, quite literally. Where they thought Seth was focusing his attention on Ava and the Hidden World, they find he has bigger plans, due to his new ally. With every one of them being supernatural beings, they'd left their mundane lives behind and thought that humans were outside of their small, hidden circle and out of danger. But when mundane murders start drawing the Rebellion's attention, they suspect Seth is behind them. When Ava faces her fear against the monsters in her world, and in others, the fate of the world is settled on her shoulders. Yet again, she finds she is the only one to stand between life and death. Only, Seth isn't the only one with new allies. *ATTENTION*DO NOT SKIP* Do NOT copyright! This is my story.

THE BOOK OF FORGOTTEN DELIBERATELY
"Some truths don't set you free. They set you on fire." They told me not to open that book. They warned me with stories-old, crusty ones-about madness, about secrets best left untouched. They said the library's far wing was cursed. That the books in that section didn't whisper wisdom-they screamed. But curiosity has a strange way of settling into your bones, especially when you've lived your entire life inside walls built from someone else's truths. My name? It doesn't matter-not yet. This story isn't about names. It's about what was forgotten deliberately. And how I found it. I wasn't born a rebel. I didn't want to challenge kingdoms or rewrite history. I just wanted to understand who I was, why I felt out of place, and what those strange dreams meant. The ones with burning skies and voices calling me by a name no one else knew. This isn't a tale of heroes and villains. It's messier than that. It's about a girl who found a truth so big, it didn't fit into her world. And maybe-just maybe-it won't fit into yours either. But I'll tell it anyway. Because stories like this-whispers like these-were never meant to stay silent. Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

The Lighthouse codes
When the girls discover a cryptic message carved into the sand-"THE LIGHTHOUSE KNOWS"-they are pulled into an unsolved mystery tied to Avenmoor Island's old lighthouse, which has been abandoned since a brutal storm ten years ago. As they explore the island, they uncover hidden messages, coded symbols, and evidence that someone-or something-is leading them deeper into a web of secrets involving: • A lost treasure ship that wrecked off the island's coast, • A secret society that once protected the lighthouse's true purpose, • And a strange power source hidden beneath the lighthouse, linked to ancient nautical legends. The girls follow a trail of clues-each one riskier than the last-while being watched by someone who doesn't want the truth revealed. In the final chapters, they'll uncover the shocking truth about the lighthouse, the storm, and a decision that could change the future of the entire island.Complete
The Forest Keeper
Kaylie "Kea" Alton's life turned upside down when she found fairies in the forest behind her father's house. At the tender age of seven, she was given the task to take care of the forest and the magical creatures therein - to become the Keeper of Albinan. Things went well for twelve years. As soon as the thirteenth year came around, things started getting interesting. With the appearance of a new creature from the lake, Kea and the rest of the creatures are wary. Something is happening, and when the creature starts talking gibberish about Atlantis and demonic inhabitation, she is forced to take him seriously. What she doesn't understand is why this creature of the lake is helping her and what he has to gain from it. And what is going to happen as a result of this new threat. ** A/N: If I were to give this book a rating, it would be a moderate PG-13. It is pretty violent (I mean, obviously, the demon wants to kill everything, so...), and there are instances of mild language and non-graphic "encounters," as it were. So consider yourself warned. ;) Thanks for reading!Complete
