"The Stranded Traveller: Doomed to the Myths of the Woods" is a psychological horror-fantasy epic set deep in the heart of the Appalachian wilderness-where the line between myth and reality no longer exists. When Cameron Brooks, a solitary backpacker and self-proclaimed skeptic, sets off on a routine hiking trip to clear his mind and document nature, he expects solitude, not superstition.

The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Complete
The Spirit Walker (Explicit Standalone)
*Please note: this is the explicit version of Thistle and Smoke, which is the edited/reworked/expanded version of this original concept.* After Rae Campbell is murdered by her abductor, she wakes in a world that exists parallel to ours- one which diverged in 1761, when a band of Scottish Highlanders joined with the Skin-Walking Kituwah tribe to oust the British from Appalachia. Rae becomes a Spirit-Walker; she walks in the skin of the leader's mate, Ceallach, who like Rae, suffered a wrongful death. The leader and Rae make a pact- she will help him discover his mate's murderer, and he will grant her safety and shelter while teaching her the ways of this new world. When Ceallach's wolf-skin begins to awaken within Rae's body, however, everything changes. The mate bond becomes impossible to ignore, and it consumes her, body and soul. Unable to shift, however, the unsettled bond throws her new world into turmoil. Will she walk in her wolf skin in time and bear the mark of her new mate? Or will she fail and cost the man she is learning to love everything he holds dear? Mature Content: mentions of a previous abduction (and related events), references to non-consensual sexual situations, depictions of sexComplete
