One night. One night is all it took to turn Valin's world upside down. It begins with the murder of half of Valin's family, followed by an encounter with a strange, otherworldly man, Qaletaqa. Valin's life and her mind spirals deeper and deeper out of control until she can no longer tell reality from a fabrication that seems to come from an outside source.
I welcome you to join her on this journey down the fox-hole of confusion and perplexity as she comes to familiarize herself with who and what she truly is.
This is a story that has its beginnings in the minds of two high school students, myself, and my friend who wishes to remain anonymous. This is still a work in progress, but we would love any feedback as long as it is honest.
Thank you.

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets.
