"She got everything she's ever wanted, and it's made her even more miserable.
Ashley Dawson has spent years trying just about anything to tune out the pain she carries. Self-isolated and spiraling quickly, her dreams become lucid, and in them, she meets a boy with no problem spending his nights offering her the comfort she's seeking. Meanwhile, back in the real world, a whirlwind romance with the most popular boy in her small town turns Ashley's waking life on its head. His influence rips her from her cocoon and transforms her into a social butterfly almost overnight, thrusting her into a world she's never known.
She feels herself cast into two very different molds - the sad artsy girl, and the vibrant socialite - and neither of them feel like they fit quite right. The pressure of her life, what it is, and what she wants it to be is mounting fast, and Ashley knows deep down that it won't be long before something's got to give."
A very early draft of this story was originally posted to Wattpad in 2012, but I've since self-published the finished version to Amazon! Feel free to read the first chapter as a sample, and if you're interested, check out the final novel over on Amazon!

Nickolas and I don't have a single chance in heaven of being together. It's better to feel immense pain now than keep feeling little bits every time we run into each other. The muscle in his back tightens, but he doesn't turn back and says. "Accepting your rejection would be doing you a favor, and that's the last thing I would ever do for you." he walks away after that. ***** Nickolas, the vampire king, had lost hope of ever finding his mate, resigned to the belief that he was destined to spend the rest of his days on Earth without her. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when he embarks on a journey to the werewolf kingdom. In a twist of destiny, Nickolas discovers his mate-a werewolf, and not just any werewolf, but the princess and daughter of his father's murderer, Amelia Anderson.

A unique aspect of her identity brings difficulty, and being the sole individual among her peers without a mate intensifies her sense of isolation. The trajectory of her seemingly mundane life takes an unforeseen turn the day she encounters her mate. Suddenly, she is thrust into a reality she never imagined, and Amelia finds herself paying a steep price for a lifetime of sins she didn't commit.Complete
Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete

There is no way these dreams could be real right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Isn't it obvious? It's magic." He takes my hand. "And with magic, anything is possible." He said this so genuinely, with so much sincerity in his tone, it was as if he actually believed it. "But magic isn't real." I reply back, frowning.Magic was something out of a fairytale, made to give children false hope. "It is!" He insists. I roll my eyes. "It is not." I retort. I crossed my arms. He sighs. "Whatever you say.'' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I made this a while back but I decided to publish it in case anyone wants to read it.
