Mira Chambers is a young blind woman who has delusions of being able to see ghosts - but the secret about what she can *really* see creates a unique new concept in science fiction and fantasy...
This story WON Australia's most coveted science fiction and fantasy award in 2010: the Hemming Award for Excellence in Science Fiction and Fantasy Themes about "otherness" in the human condition. (e.g. race, gender, sexuality etc)
It's now also available as a paperback by HarperCollins, so I can't post the whole story, but I did get permission to keep a post of a large chunk of it here...

Fabricated Mind
In a quiet house at the edge of the woods, Mira wakes beside the man she loves - Dr Alden, a respected psychologist known for exploring the hidden corners of the human mind. Their days are ordinary, tender even. But every night, fragments of something dark claw their way back into Mira's dreams - flashes of blood, fog, and a house she swears she's never seen. When she visits Alden's asylum to write about art and therapy, one patient recognises her - screams at her as if she's someone he once knew. From that moment, Mira's carefully built world begins to fracture. Memories blur with imagination, love collides with fear, and every familiar face starts to feel like a mask hiding something unspeakable. As Mira struggles to piece together the truth, she begins to wonder - is she losing her mind... or remembering it?Lengkap

But one day he comes across something totally out of place in his world, and it's only the first of many.

Haunted
Raven Zheng is definitely not crazy. At least - that's what she tells herself. It's hard to believe that when no one else can see what you see. You see, Raven can see the dead. Ghosts, if you will. They're people who died, just looking for closure and a way to move on from this life. When Raven meets Cade Woods, she's surprised to find a person who understand what she's going through, at least a little bit. He doesn't see the dead, per se, but he's seen enough death in his life to see her point of view. And then the first body is found. Soon enough, Raven is catapulted into Cade's world. There seems to be a serial killer in town, one who has connections to Cade and his father that makes him a suspect in the murders, and Raven has no way to know whether or not he can be trusted at all, given his past and his suspicious parentage. But as the body count climbs, Raven and Cade realize that they might be the only ones with the knowledge to stop the killer, even if they have to embrace their past to do it.Lengkap

Alien from the past. Mate for the future.
✨ Book 3 from Extraterrestrial Encounter ✨ -*- They always told me I belonged to the sky. Not because I was special or different, but because ever since I was a child, I would spend hours staring at the stars, searching for answers no adult seemed willing to give me. My name is Selen. I'm nineteen years old, and I work as a research assistant in one of the oldest observatories in the colony. I live among star maps, coordinates, and telescopes. But sometimes, when the world falls asleep and I'm left alone beneath the vault of the sky, I feel... something. An invisible gaze, warm and distant. As if the stars weren't the only ones watching me. I don't remember much from when I was a child. Just fragments: a distant roar, strong hands lifting me from the mud... Blue eyes that didn't belong to any human being. They told me I was in danger, and that someone saved me. But no one ever wanted to tell me who. And yet, tonight... as the sky opens above me and the forest whispers ancient words, I have the strange feeling I'm not alone. Maybe this time it will save me and take me to safety. -*- [ I'm still trying to figure out if this is going to be a long story or just a glimpse into how things have settled down in the near future. Maybe you can help me. If you have any idea leave a comment. ]🤔🤷 🔴 As usual beware! This story will be marked as Adult story. Strong language, fighting, blood, death and of course consensual sex scenes and more. 🔴🔞Lengkap
