Inhale
*CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH SECOND REVAMP* Exhale, repeat. How far will you go? Ask Julian Laurence and he will tell you he is living the dream. Despite his flaws and overwhelming anxiety, Julian has everything he needs at school. Wealthy, privately educated, and surrounded by his friends; what more can a 16 year old ask for? But behind autumn winds and the second hand smoke there is something far more sinister. Julian finds his perfectly orchestrated comfort turned inside-out as a new student arrives, and old stories return. There is only so much the human spirit can take. A slow burning story of love, grief, and mystery that follows observant Julian through his final years at school as his relationships with those around him are tested. As always, in loving memory of the real Josiah-Jean, who has breathed life into the beloved Josiah in this story.

Unhinged Mind
Grayson Marshall has spent his life battling with demons; some born of trauma, others forged in the depths of his own mind. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder and haunted by a troubled childhood, his fragile world unravels after a reckless night of drinking ends in a DUI. To avoid jail time, his father, Robert Marshall, a formidable yet deeply flawed attorney, commits him to a psychiatric facility. But what begins as a brief stay quickly morphs into something far more enduring. Grayson finds himself trapped not only within the sterile walls of the institution but inside the labyrinth of his fractured mind. There, he meets Ronan Blackwell, a fellow patient with scars of his own. Though the rules forbid personal connections, Ronan becomes Grayson's unlikely anchor, guiding him through the chaos both within and without. In a place where reality blurs and healing comes at a cost, Grayson must confront the shadows that have stalked him for years. The fiercest battles are waged in silence, deep within the mind. Will he find redemption or be consumed by the very demons he's spent a lifetime outrunning?
The Art of Breathing Underwater
𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑 𝐘𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 For bipolar fifteen-year-old Aaron, growing up in '90s Dublin, being gay is a choice. It is a choice between risking alienation from his conservative Catholic family and close-minded friends or drowning under the weight of his secrets. So discovering he is falling in love with his witty, bi-racial best friend, Robbie, an aspiring actor, plunges Aaron into a sea of confusion. Swimming against the tide of expectations, the young men set a course through sex, drugs and Bowie concerts, an outlet from a world that doesn't understand them. But weighted under the pressure of maintaining a double life, Aaron sinks into a deep depression. When a shocking incident puts his life in perspective, Aaron must decide whether staying silent and invisible is worth losing the only love he has ever known for.
