You can't outrun the past.
Hattie Newfield is a fake medium who makes a living off pretending to speak with the dead. But Hattie has a real psychic gift--she can "read" people's memories.
When Hattie is approached by a stranger with an intriguing job proposal, she learns that she has other psychic powers that aren't easily controlled. As the two join forces to investigate a mysterious haunting, her psychic powers grow and the past begins encroaching on the present in unforeseen ways.
Now Hattie must face her own troubled memories before the dark past overtakes them both.

But something is wrong. Vampires are vanishing. Old powers are stirring. And Eleanor begins to suspect her transformation was no accident. To uncover the truth, she must master the darkness within her... or be consumed by it. ********** "I don't think you want him," he said. "You don't?" she whispered. "No." His breath brushed her ear.

The Day I Live
(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods. DISCLAIMER: no images/videos are mine unless I say otherwise. Everything else belongs to me. Please don't steal, I do work hard on my stories.

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

Quiet, curious, and always in the background.But when strange dreams begin to haunt Charlotte.....dreams of fire, moonlit forests, and a woman with her face living centuries ago she starts to question everything she knows.

As Charlotte is drawn deeper into the world of the Cullens, her connection to Rosalie and Emmett grows more intense-especially when their presence awakens a dormant power in her veins. A power tied to ancient witches, a hidden war, and a fate written long before she was born. The witch is waking. And this time, she's not standing in anyone's shadow. (Ps: this fanfic isn't going to be following the plot of the movies. It is going to be set around the time of the eclipse movie but I'm going to be doing my own thing with the plot. ☺️ I might change my mind but I'm not sure 🤷♀️😅)
