1969. It was the year of Manson's helter-skelter, the year we put a man on the moon, and the year two strangers watched the world end in a mushroom cloud of nuclear war.
1966. This was a much better year. Well, for everyone except twenty-two-year-old Annie Edwards. Because it was the year she first saw the blonde-haired boy in her dreams. And although she believed in science, her gut told her these visions might somehow be connected to bizarre experiments happening on campus.
As Annie and the mystery man known as Dimitri watch the world erupt in their dreams, they realize that the only way to save their countries, and the world, from nuclear destruction is to work together. They'll uncover the powers of dreams and nightmares, delve into hallucinogenics and insanity, and blur the line between the waking world and their subconscious.
A race to space, a delusion of mind control, and the end of the world. Welcome to an experiment in dreams, drugs and war.

"I wish...time would just stop." Sleeping has always been Xandra's getaway, but an impending vacation back to her hometown forces her to fully succumb into her mind. She has just been exhausted, working to the bone. And all she really wants is for time to stop, to let her rest for a while. Until time starts to rewound. Inside her treacherous mind, she meets a boy that introduced himself as a keeper of time. Time has stopped, he says. But when she wakes up why is it that time feels like it's running ever faster? The boy too, was a familiar mystery. There's a constant something ticking at the back of Xandra's head, always present, never revealing itself. She knows who the boy was in her past, yet she doesn't. He tells her not to worry, but in her muddled mind she knows. If she had been eleven years younger, she wouldn't have noticed it. The strange locks of hair, the blood under the trees, the house that crumbled around the edges. And she remembers. Time hasn't stopped. It has been rewound. And she needs to save the keeper of time. Miyo. Manasseh. Her friend. But could she save someone who's already dead? *** AMAZING COVER BY: @-bellawrites Psychological drama TW: mentions of suicide, abuse, trauma.

Finding Finn Reed
I've seen the same man die over a thousand times. I've memorized the exact time, and the exact way he dies. There hadn't been a single moment where I wanted to give up, where I decided to just quit. Regardless of how many times I failed, I found him in unparalleled ways. The phenomenon I called Time Hopping all began when Finn Reed died. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melanie Abner has to watch her best friend Finn Reed die countless times in an attempt to save him with her new found ability of Time Hopping. She meets Atticus, another Time Hopper who explains to her everything about her ability, and the truth behind Melanie's past. As convincing as Atticus sounds, Melanie can't seem to accept certainty of Finn's death. As time seems to pass by however, she realizes that sometimes it's best to accept the things you cannot change, and move forward with the things you can. (DISCLAIMER: This is the first book I've written, so it's somewhat of a practice. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!)TerminΓ©
Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
β Let's find you a new home, shall we? β β’ββ’ A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? β’ββ’ 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. β’ββ’ Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | β
β Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. β Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. βββ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know!

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist
While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.TerminΓ©

She reads out into a microphone "The human soul name bliss, female, age 24, death unknown, and sin unknown." She pauses and looks at me then puts down my paper and speaks to the crowd "She doesn't remember anything about being alive so she is an oddity and a collectible. Shall we start the biding at 10000 hellions". All the sudden many voices shout out some low deep voices some high voices and some don't even sound like voices just gurgles. The woman who read my paper seems to be able to keep track and calls out the highest bidder. "Do I hear 65000?" Less voices shootout but they're still too many that I can't pick out. I'm being sold?
