When days go by and a community pulls together to help new parents find their baby, eyes start to fall on the parents. Lark and Todd need each other more than ever to do everything they can, including, considering the unusual, and uncover what happened to their baby.

***
Lark and Todd's world has forever changed. They are new parents to a baby boy they named Westley. Lark stepped away from her full-time job and Todd is supportive of her choice to stay home and raise their baby. She adores spending her days caring for and sharing her interests, including books with Westley and makes it a habit to read stories to him from a collection of children's books handed down from her mother. It all started one evening after putting Westley to bed. An old book she was reading to Westley earlier, catches her eye. Lark is tired, but it looks like the picture on the open page is moving. Lark knows that a sleep-deprived mind can see things that are not there. Doubt comes into play. What if the image was really moving? What if that old book is about to cause a whole lot of trouble? As events take a shattering turn and their baby goes missing, Lark has to learn to trust her instincts, be patient with Todd, and find a way to bring her family home.All Rights Reserved

The Cursed Line of Bell of Whitstable by janeemmaross

Living by her wits Jane's life is far from normal, she has her one steady fixture in her life, her beloved Dad (he has raised her as his own since her mother's passing), everything else is expendable until one of their cons goes bad; they meet an elderly lady (Bell) one evening at the train station and she makes them an offer too good to be true; as if fate had finally dealt them a good hand but their meeting is not coincidental. They are offered a home, Dad a job and the security they so desire in the quiet little seaside town of Whitstable, but not all is as it seems. Bell is shadowed by her loyal boys (the feral boys) the menacing youths riding around on their bikes with hoods up, lurking in the shadows. They are actually Deaths' Hounds of Hell that do Bells' bidding and are under strict instructions to watch over Jane. Jane is overwhelmed with premonitions, nightmares and flashbacks of her mothers' passing which are triggered by her arriving in Whitstable. She knows there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Bell. Bell is elusive about her life and her past, whilst still trying to bring Jane closer in. She is an enigma, charismatic yet harsh, her presence is felt by the community but feared by the church. Bell is a force to be reckoned with, she has the ability to bring grown men to their knees and pull out your darkest secrets, as if looking into your very soul. Why was she so desperate to bring Jane back to Whitstable ? What is she hiding ? #Thecursedlineofbellofwhitstable Awards 1st place in Coalition 2020 awards 3rd place in Privus awards 2020 3rd place sparkle awards 2022

Tristan Young is, by all logical conclusions, a failure. His dream career of private investigation has left him with nothing but debt and an empty office. So when a mysterious phone call makes him a grand promise of fame and success, the decision to accept is simple. There is only one price for his ambition: one night in the local manor, and one dinner with five strangers. Easy enough. Until, sometime in the dark, the price turns bloody. With one of the party's attendees now dead and no other suspects but the remaining five, they are all thrust deep into a murder case riddled with secrets. For Tristan, it should be his fantasy come true; he finally has a puzzle to solve and a chance to put his skills to use. But the games in his head never placed himself as a puzzle piece. The game becomes a race. He has to clear his name and win what he was promised before it's too late. -♧- Written for the Open Novella Contest 2023, using prompt 49. -- ONC Shortlister -- [cover art by the amazing @-aceospades-]

A change of plans cause the people in charge to order her relocation to Oakwood, a microscopic town swarming with mutants like her. They silently follow her journey as Riley is confronted to strange locals, a boy that hates her guts and nightmarish monsters lurking around her house.

Some cussing and violence invovled. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK OF A SERIES AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY DARKER 😈 Disclaimer : My story is inspired from Jennifer Armentrout's series Lux (basically, credits to her because this wouldn't exist otherwise). There are many differences but also several similarities. The plot isn't centered the same, either way. I just have fun writing and twisting up my favorite elements.
