It starts with a drought and a dream for Mickey Braden - a half-remembered hallucination during a panic attack. It'd been an emotional day. These things happen, right?
Except, they'd been happening to Ray Summers, too, and far longer. He is curious as hell about the person on the other side of what he's convinced is some inexplicable mental connection.
The apocalypse is movie stuff. They've seen 'Interstellar'. It doesn't happen to normal people, does it? Mickey's just a spoilt Hollywood brat, after all. They don't know anything. So, why is it the end of the world brings out the best in them? Why are they finding themself becoming a hero?
And what is it about Mickey that makes Ray want to be stronger? Better? This is the end of the frickin world! Not some soppy love story. But when all their searching for answers leads to only more questions, the one constant in his life is always the angry, fearless blonde.
What happens when you send a bunch of kids into the apocalypse to save the world? Find out in the first installment of this gripping story.

My Summer Crush
Have you ever fallen in love for the first time? Well... I haven't - not until he came into my life. They say love happens when you least expect it - when your heart suddenly beats like a ticking time bomb, and you don't even know why. That's when you realize... you're in love. 💞 But what if you already felt that spark - and instead of confessing, you stayed quiet because you were scared? Scared that you're too young. Scared to ruin what's already there. Scared to lose him. Love can really be funny sometimes. Girls hide their feelings out of fear, while boys pretend not to care - because pride gets in the way. And when both stay silent, love turns into a beautiful what-if. But maybe... this story isn't just about "what-ifs." Maybe it's about destiny. Every summer, we meet again. Every time, my heart races the same way. Is it fate... or just another coincidence? I used to believe accidents were dangerous, but ever since I met him, I started to think - maybe some accidents are meant to happen. This is the story of how my summer turned into something unforgettable - the story of laughter, confusion, and a love I never meant to fall into. Will it be destiny that brings us together in the end? Find out in "Summer of Accidental Hearts." 🌸Complete
The Dark Deception - The Return of Waeccende
Greg suffered terrible nightmares recently. He would wake in a sweat, breathing hard, and with no memory of the content of the dream. Confiding in his friends, they agreed to look over him as he slept to wake him at the height of the nightmare. Implementing this one evening, they discover the contents of the dream. That same night they retire ... Upon waking, they discover themselves in a strange land, and are quickly entwined in an adventure, which begins innocently enough, but slowly turns horrific and challenges their resolve and purpose. At first their path looks clear and simple. However, as they split into two groups and each pursue their tasks, they find themselves challenged with the strengths of their friendships and choices of self-preservation or of saving their friend's life instead. Ultimately they reach their goal, and the truth is revealed ... Author's note: I've written this book, as a sort of biography set in a fantastical realm. It is a description of my mental illness, which is a schizoaffective disorder, and the state of mind the condition puts me in. The way I've chosen to describe this is the best way I can articulate how I feel in certain situations. I describe the period of time I was in University studying Physics & Astronomy, up through to the completion of my MSc in computational astrophysics. I hope you enjoy this book, and hopefully it will help you to understand what people who are mentally ill go through daily, or maybe even help you understand what a loved one with a mental illness suffers.Complete
After Blue Light
What happened at last year's farewell party? No one talks about it - and Aarav never answers. Once known for his quiet charm and perfect grades, Aarav now moves through the halls like a ghost. The laughter of his classmates feels distant, the world a little heavier. He doesn't believe in love, friendship, or promises anymore - just the passing of days. Then, one morning, the sky turns blue. Not the peaceful kind - the kind that hums, flickers, and burns. Within hours, the city collapses into chaos. Students are trapped inside the school as explosions echo across the horizon. Panic replaces order. Survival replaces kindness. And through it all, Aarav finds himself surrounded by people he once ignored - each breaking in their own way. As fear spreads and loyalties shatter, the question echoes louder than ever: What really happened that night? And what will become of those who live through the blue light?Complete

Of Everlasting End
The words escaped the pages of a popular webnovel and the peaceful everyday had been corrupted in calamity. In simpler words, there was a damn apocalypse occurring. And in a particular building, overlooking the chaotic streets, two idiots flirted. "Do you want to rebel against your destiny?" the voice is firm and confident in its careless allure, promising a deal among the rubbles of this disaster. The man's lips curved dangerously, and he tilted his chin. "Then I'm in your hands, Joker." --- One sentence summery: In which an apocalypse has begun, and a certain delinquent 'accidentally' seduces his boss. Even shorter summery: deadly insulting machine MC x face looks good to punch (lovingly) MLComplete
