From the age of sixteen, you are caged. Death takes it's grasp on your wrist. And all you can do is become a slave, or watch your life tick away.
Providence, a world governing organisation, promises a utopia for all citizens, but to ensure that, they result to death threats.
Work for Providence.
Or die.
Chronos Counting is written from the perspective of a young teen, Dan, and follows the choices he makes as Providence unleashes their evil schemes - which threatens the lives of his hard-working parents.
Providence isn't all it makes itself out to be.
And what will Dan do once he realises that the watch isn't the only thing connecting him to Providence?

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3Complete![The Inadequate Experiments: 1.

Star Kissed
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.Complete

Souled [Editing]
Numbers. They run the world. Whether it's time or how much money you make, numbers dominate everything. Including romance. Who knew that something so unpredictable and spontaneous as love could be tracked down to the second. Everyone receives a Countdown. Everyone gets that perfect love, that perfect person just for them. But not everyone's perfect love story works out perfectly. Meredith always stared at the little clock on her wrist, counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds until she met the One. Her Soul Mate. But what if her Soul Mate was the one person who she could never be with? Nate never worried about his Soul Mate. Or really even wanted one. He ignored the faint ticking the Countdown clock made. He watched people fall in love as he made his way through life. But he didn't know what surprise he was in for when the clock hit zero. Neither expected the other. Everything was picture perfect at first... until reality set in. They were complete opposites, and not in the cliche way. When another person steps into their lives, seemingly perfect for Nate, and throws a monkey-wrench into their efforts, will they keep trying? Or will they forget the whole thing and go their separate ways?Complete
