*Completed*
Apocryphal Family Tree exists between American Gods by Neil Gaiman and Sister Mine by Nalo Hopkinson with deities from the African diaspora along with a mix of supernatural creatures from folklore, myth, and legend.
The story follows Lenny, a recent college grad who wanted to heal the rift between her immediate family and her maternal extended family, but realizes her parents did not tell her the whole truth about their estrangement. Lenny is plunged into an unfamiliar world where her ability to see and communicate with the dead is a small part of a much larger picture.
Content warning: I make an attempt to address colorism and internalized anti-Blackness toward the end of the book, but I'm still learning and figuring out how to do address it correctly so the depiction/handling is definitely very rough.

A Home for Misfit Monsters
**AMBYS 2024 GRAND FAVORITE NOVEL** Rhia loves caring for the monstrous residents she inherited from her late aunt. There's nothing else she needs but her misfit family in the countryside of Upstate New York and the sexy demon that satisfies her needs in her dreams. Until Ezra, the devilishly handsome guy next door, wanders over to borrow some milk. Her ghoulish residents are all too happy to play matchmaker for their lonely caretaker, but Rhia isn't sure about Ezra. He seems far too comfortable around the meddling ghosts and there's something familiar about him and his smoky gray eyes. And Ezra isn't as calm and collected as he seems. He might be hiding some dangerous secrets that could turn Rhia's already freakish world upside down. Or maybe... he's just another misfit monster looking for a place to rest his head. ********** Highest Ranking: #1 - adult fiction #2 - ghost #3 - blackwomanComplete
The Boy She Illegally Brought To The Lavender Field (bwwm)
(If you read 'Bunny' then you know that towards the end there is a movie plot. I came up with it just so the movie Willow would be in sounded realistic and good but I couldn't let it go so I wrote this book based off of it but with a few changes added after finding out there's apparently already a movie similar to the movie mentioned in 'Bunny'. This story contains true events and is now based on multiple real stories put into one.) "God owes me now and I want it paid back in full." In the south of Mississippi during the civil rights movement, two families seem tied together regardless of how many times they try to break apart. In the height of racial injustice and the fight back, the Moore and Ross families are plagued with hard choices, evil people and scary experiences. Read this book to be a part of both family stories as they learn it's okay to be selfish and live the life they deserve. (Warning: story contains violence, murder, attempted r***, slurs, and other harsh language. Reader discretion advised.)Complete![The Forest Gods' Reign [Published]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/1584614-256-k909675.jpg)

Silver {Book One}
"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.Complete
