Tommy is 11 years-old, overweight, intelligent, and the new kid in small-town Rosshaven, Ontario in the mid-nineties.
Every night in Tommy's dreams, he becomes Clara--an 11 year-old girl living in 1859, learning her responsibilities as the eldest daughter in a prominent Rosshaven family.
As Tommy navigates the complexities of his parents' divorce, fitting in at a new school, and making his mark in drama class, he begins to learn how to affect his dreams. Is he really controlling Clara in the past or is this all a psychosis to avoid his real problems?
One night, while Tommy dreams in Clara's skin, the sky turns purple and her father returns home crazed and terrified with his hands horribly burned. That night, as Tommy watches helplessly, Clara's father murders her and her family.
Is the killing of Clara's family related to the murders happening in modern-day Rosshaven? Can Tommy save both Clara in the past and himself in the present?
A new horror novel that is both gothic and modern, about growing up, losing control, and becoming who you want to be--not who you're told you are.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Sins Of Thy Father {COMPLETED}
Five years have passed since the massacre at Westin Hills. Only two emerged from the nightmare - Raven and Michael - scarred but breathing. They've spent half a decade running from the shadows, suffocating the screams behind locked doors and fake smiles. But trauma doesn't fade. It festers. And nightmares don't die. They wait. Now, teens are dying in their sleep again - marked by the same grotesque brutality. Raven knows what this means. Who it means. Y/N is back. Once a man. Now a myth. Her biological father - the monster burned alive by vengeance and reborn through rage. A demon carved from injustice, fire, and bone. The thing that watches from behind closed eyes. As the body count rises, Raven and Michael are dragged back into the world they've tried so hard to escape: the dreamscape - Y/N's twisted kingdom, where the rules of reality dissolve and terror takes form. But this time, survival isn't enough. This time, it's personal. Because Raven isn't just running from Y/N. She's becoming him. His blood surges through her veins. His darkness whispers to her in sleep. And as the line between waking life and nightmare blurs, Raven must confront the legacy she never chose - and a truth far more terrifying than death: You can't kill what lives inside you. To end the nightmare, Raven will have to go deeper than ever before - into the fire, into her past, into herself. But some nightmares don't want to end. Some nightmares are inherited.Complete

The introverted older sibling to the even-more introverted Logan Fields. It wasn't always like that though; for there was a time when Y/N was a bundle of light wherever they went. Though, after a trip to Greece when they were twelve years old, they returned... faded and ghostly quiet. As if they had experienced something no child should. Not many people chose to question what happened to the sweet child. They only had to accept that Y/N was a loner now; cutting all interesting ties with friends and social outings. 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚́𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐳.

Because in Ravenwood Asylum, love is just another word for possession. And your patients? They'll do anything to make sure you never leave.Complete
