In the late nineteenth century, an ancient entity summons the first of six humans to initiate a life-changing legacy.
~
Tulsi Avaho didn't expect to travel so far, but the voice in her head wouldn't be silenced. It led her to a small mountain in Australia where she unearthed a peculiar treasure. Mesmerised by its flexible appearance and life-like behaviour, this strong-minded young immigrant embarks on a journey of discovery into a surprising reality as she's driven to unravel the mystery of THE ZiNDER.
~ On Wattpad for a limited time ~
The First Notes is a starter to THE ZiNDER series: a story set in the modern-day real world about a novice shaman, a deity in exile, and a living object who are appointed to save our 'multiworld' from a soul-destroying virus.
"An aggressive virus spreads decay. The cure lies inside a mysterious entity. Five enlightened humans have disappeared trying to find it. Now the continued existence of all living beings depends on one girl deciphering the enigma that is THE ZiNDER."

Little Jimmy Grabowski is missing ... and that's a problem.

The stones are a Gateway to the mythical lost continent of Atlantis, home to a race long since regulated to legends-elves. Now, Alina must trek across unfamiliar and fantastical territory in order to find Jimmy and bring him home. For Jimmy's disappearance may herald that something more sinister is afoot and pose dangerous consequences to both worlds ... Cover designed by @xxsoteriaComplete
Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
