Couch Surfing USA revolves around the travels and tribulations of a man bent on self-destruction, wandering aimlessly across the United States after becoming homeless and having his complicated life further twisted into a bizarre labyrinth of indulgence, deceit, lust, and despair. Love is one hell of a trip.
Note: These are a series excerpts from a novel I wrote between the years of 2016 and 2018. Unfortunately, I lost the finished book in a hard drive failure, but I kept many separate documents as excerpts to post on social media. These are those excerpts. I hope you enjoy. Maybe this will give me the motivation I need to rewrite the story in it's entirety.

Sex, Drugs & No Idea
Unexpected threesomes. Fighting midgets. Wrecking bathrooms. It isn't our grief that sets us apart, it is the manner in which we deal with it. Charlie Green is a mess. After surviving an accident that claimed the life of his partner and being sacked from his job, he's taken to throwing himself down the neck of every bottle of booze and into the arms of every amorous stranger that wanders across his zig-zagging path. In an increasingly desperate attempt to smother his grief, Charlie and five of his closest friends decide to ditch the materialistic bright lights of California and embark on an eight-thousand mile trip across the sea to Southeast Asia. There, caught like butterflies in a whirlwind of drug-fuelled hedonism and vice, this fellowship of idiots endeavours to figure out whether happiness is something that can ever be truly attained, or whether it's something that we spend our lives perpetually chasing. "Now, I'm not one to advocate doing drugs and then going off for a drive in the country or attempting to operate heavy machinery, but if one finds oneself in the position of having had a good snoot-full of Peruvian flake before being obliged to chuck on the fins and tank and hop into the ocean, then I'd be very much inclined to just not think too much about it and roll with the situation." Through the blur of drugs, alcohol and one-night stands, Charlie has to decide whether he's running away from the truth, seeking closure or simply heading along the slow road that leads to self-destruction.Complete
🥊 Hate or Fate 💕 {Enemies to Lovers}
One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

Her face twists in a mixture of torment and temptation. I hold myself still, feeling her tightness wrap every inch of me. Leaning forward, I press my forehead to hers.

No one will ever love you like I do, baby." --Though she's young, Silvie has spent a lifetime paying for other people's mistakes. That's what landed her in the sights of a wolf. A Gang of Wolves to be exact. Everything Wulf does is for his motorcycle club, but when Silvie- young, innocent, and sweet, enters the picture things change. He takes an interest in the little pixie who becomes more than just a payment for her brother's debts. What happens when a woman begins to tame the beast of her predator? What happens when a wolf learns he wants to be a protector? ** This story is a Dark Romance. If you want a fairy tale, read Cinderella.

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!
