"There is another existence which operates in parallel to what we know as the 'real world'. It is a place of paranormal entities and supernatural beings, the like of which most people don't believe in. Sometimes, the two worlds collide, and when that happens, we are called upon."
It's Friday the Thirteenth, 1987, and it's Sasha Hunter's birthday. It's also the anniversary of The Blackout; a catastrophic world-wide event, and the day Sasha's mother disappeared. Six years on, the world has started to recover. But for Sasha, everything is falling apart . . .
Sasha Hunter is a walking-bad-omen, cursed with asthma and as superstitious as they come. When a strange boy delivers a mysterious game of hangman, she makes a shocking discovery which will change her life forever. The world, still in recovery from the effects of The Blackout, is no longer the safe place she thought it was. Only by uncovering the truth can Sasha hope to save herself and everyone around her.

The Witch's Mates
I am just about to turn around and head down the alley toward the street when I see two shadows step away from the wall a little farther down from where I am standing. I can't see any features, but I can guess from their statures that they are both men. I don't know what species they are though, but given that they just witnessed me kill a vampire I decide it's time to get the hell out of here. At least they aren't blocking my path to the street. Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. *** *This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel. It will have mature themes, including but not limited to, violence, sexual themes, sexual scenes (including light BDSM), abuse, and mentions of rape. Please do not read if you feel uncomfortable with any of these things or if you feel they will be harmful to your mental health.Complete

I Accidentally Summoned a Demon
"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band. "Should I answer its call?" #1 in demons on 6/15 -6/17/20! Again on 6/20 and 6/22-6/23! Sweet and innocent Katherine has a routine and is a little tightly wound.

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Fated
****COMPLETED**** "You're driving me crazy," I growled, dropping my hand down to her waist then around to her lower back, sucking her earlobe into my mouth and dragging my teeth along it. She groaned and dropped her head back against the wall. Her sounds were intoxicating. I could smell how much she was responding to me and it brought my need for her out even more. I cupped her cheek and brought my lips over to hers, just barely brushing against them. "Addie," I whispered against her mouth, threading my hand through her hair. ... Addie has been abducted and thrown into the supernatural world. She discovers vampires have kidnapped her to manipulate an Alpha werewolf. Not just any werewolf, her mate.

#WhoIsLerosy ✔
COMPLETE! "It can't be real! There's no 500-year-old guy in a jester hat lurking just out of sight, waiting to abduct willing teenagers! We would have heard of him before now, right? #WhoIsLerosy" There was once an innocent time in our lives when we sang nursery rhymes in a circle, holding hands with friends, never realizing that one of those songs was a warning... On an anonymous forum site, one girl asks the question, "Who is Lerosy?" The discussion thread quickly veers off track when someone claiming to be Lerosy tells another girl with the same question that he's waiting outside her window. Amid the clamor of outrageous comments and trolls, a mystery begins to unravel until the group learns that the original poster has actually gone missing. Blending truth and mythology, impossible conspiracies abound and chilling confessions arise, as some of the forum users not only admit to knowing about Lerosy, but what he may have done to the girl. Powerless to escape from what they're reading, this idiotic mob of screen names, once bent on childish humor and verbal chaos, becomes involuntary witnesses to the unnerving details of a father's hunt for his daughter's fabled captor. Fitting into the 'found footage' realm of supernatural horror and suspense, and stylistically similar to TAP by Wattpad, #WhoIsLerosy turns forum sites, an ordinary venue from the digital age where many of us feel safe to visit on a daily basis, into the setting for a narrative thread that will make you afraid to use your phone in the dark. =================== :: #95 in Horror (Highest) :: Spoilers, overt negativity/hostility, and self-promotion will be deleted. :: MCliffordAuthor on Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat/Facebook :: Copyright 2015 by M.

Haunted Eyes
#6 in suicide silence 10/05/25 "Jasper didn't look up. His entire frame was curled around her, shielding her body like he thought he could keep death out if he just held her tight enough." ~~ Evangeline never asked to inherit her mother's bloodline - a legacy steeped in prophecy, betrayal, and powers too dangerous to name. All she wants is to survive. But when she's torn from the life she knew and thrust into a hidden world of wolves, witches, and war, survival means facing the truth she's been running from. Haunted by trauma and hunted by those who claim to love her, Evangeline struggles to control gifts that feel more like a curse. Trust is a luxury she can't afford-until Jasper, the fierce Alpha bound by duty and desire, vows to protect her even from herself. But every step toward him brings her closer to the shadows of her past...and the father who will stop at nothing to destroy her. In a world where the line between life and death blurs, can her haunted eyes still see the light? Keep in mind that you may not always like what the characters do, or feel, but this story is about understanding their humanity and the choices they make in extraordinary circumstances.
