A Mouthful of Stars
Ophelia Bain hasn't spoken in years. When she was twelve, her mother's voice vanished with the echo of a gunshot, and her father's anger became the only sound left in their Pennsylvania home. Silence grew inside her like a second heartbeat - until it became her only language. At nineteen, she runs. Across miles, across grief, across everything that once hurt her. She ends up in a washed-gray coastal town in Washington, where the rain hums softly against windows and the sea never sleeps. There, she finds work in an old bookstore filled with dust and poetry - a place where silence feels almost holy. By day, Ophelia shelves books and memorizes the way light lands on old pages. By night, she writes small letters - fragments of her thoughts - and slips them between the spines for strangers to find. "Do you ever feel like you're made of broken constellations?" one note asks. And to her surprise, someone writes back. Through the language of ink and gesture, through a deaf artist who paints the quiet the way she feels it, Ophelia begins to rediscover what it means to exist - not loudly, but beautifully. Yet the past still lingers like smoke. And as the ghosts of home begin to stir, she must decide whether the fragile light she's found is enough to keep her alive. Because sometimes, even the quietest souls hold a mouthful of stars - and sometimes, it's enough to make the darkness listen.Complete
Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
The Weeping Root Rot Plague
In the quiet town of Cranwood, nestled in the Appalachian foothills, a soil-born germ promised hope-designed to feed the world, controlled by science. But beneath its perfect surface, black veins snaked and a subtle hum pulsed, alive in ways no one could foresee. Ophelia Oakwood, a shy first-year physiology student, returns home for the summer expecting comfort: the scent of pine and wet earth, the crooked cobblestones, the family garden she once loved. But something is wrong. Her mother is mysteriously ill, her father haunted, and the soil beneath their feet seems to whisper danger. Science has taught her to trust evidence-but now survival will demand instinct, knowledge, and courage. The town's quiet is fading, replaced by a creeping menace that twists life itself. One girl may be the only thing standing between the living-and the nightmare growing beneath Cranwood. Slow-burn eco-horror. Body horror. A miracle soil. A town on the edge. "From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them. That is eternity."

Lenora's Grimoire
Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021 ***Please note, this is also available on Amazon via ebook and paperback***Complete
The Apocalyptic Yearbook
In the summer of 1956, the quiet Tennessee county of Redwood Vale begins to rot from the inside out. An unexplained illness spreads through the high school first-students collapsing in hallways, coughing scarlet threads, whispering strange phrases in dead languages no one recognizes. At Redwood Vale High, the yearbook committee becomes the final witnesses to the world before it dies. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn "Eve" Mercer, a shy, brilliant student with an obsession for philosophy and Eastern cultivation tales, starts noticing impossible things: - classmates glowing faintly beneath their skin - shadows moving against the light - pages in the yearbook changing by themselves - teachers speaking in voices that aren't theirs As the sickness tears through the county, the outside world seals Redwood Vale in. Power lines fall. Roads are blocked. Radios chant warnings that twist midway into occult sermons. The teens realize the illness is not biological alone-it's spiritual, ritualistic, and hungry. Their only hope lies in decoding the symbols that appear in the yearbook margins every day, symbols linked to a forgotten Xianxia-style cultivation practice buried beneath Appalachian folklore. But every revelation drags them deeper into psychological horror, unraveling their sense of reality. As Redwood Vale collapses into a post-apocalyptic nightmare, Eve and her friends must navigate dark academia secrets, apocalyptic landscapes, and supernatural trials-and confront the truth that the illness isn't killing them...
