ROGUE REBORN - ONC 2023
**OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST SHORTLIST** Even if she is killed, she is never dead. ***** She'd spent many, many years in the same body, getting used to her quirks, her mannerisms, learning how to survive through the ages. Yet Josephine wakes up one night and realizes she's been asleep for a century: it's now 2023, and her last memory was being on a boat with friends back in 1923. As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit. If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"Complete

It was just a normal love story until it happened.

Will she find a way to know who murdered her fiancé despite of her condition or it will remain unsolved after she fall in love with another man? Find out what she finds out when she goes back to the place where it all started, and what mystery lies behind all of it. Unlock Leyra's game of life as she recall some of her past memories related to the heirs of Atticus and what she'll encounter to meet each one of them and may lead her to its killer. Would bringing back her past will just ruined her present? Or will her present ruined everything she knew from the past ? What will she choose?

The Affair
Cassie Turner never thought she'd be the kind of woman who cheats. She had a good life. A husband who adored her. A marriage that should've been enough. But then Zane Reed walked in-tattoos snaking across his skin, piercing green eyes full of danger, and a presence that made it impossible to look away. He was temptation in its rawest form, and Cassie? She was already too far gone. One touch, and she was undone. One night, and she was lost. What started as a secret spiraled into something she couldn't control. Passion. Lies. Guilt. And a love that was never meant to last. But Cassie wasn't the only one keeping secrets and soon she realized that she hadn't been the only one breaking their vows. Now, she's standing at the edge of everything she swore she'd never ruin, faced with a choice she should have made long ago. Because in the end, it was never about him. It was always about them. And she just hopes that she isn't too late to fix what she broke. ******** "Fuck me like I'm famous," I smile against his lips. "Then scream for me like the paparazzi's watching" he said as he thrust forward. ********* THE AFFAIR contains mature themes, including erotica, explicit language, and mental health struggles, which maybe upsetting for some readers.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete
A Very Messy Business In Belgravia
*** OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2021 - HONORABLE MENTION *** The year is 1907, and Amalthea Huntley, Countess of Claremont, is bored. Recently widowed at a young age, she finds very little to entertain her in Edwardian London, until an unusual turn of events at a society party plants the seed of an idea. Lady detective? Why not? It would only be a hobby after all. Lending her considerable powers of observation to some of her closer acquaintances to help resolve their more sensitive issues. After all, what could be so difficult? An instance of minor household theft here, a brief indiscretion there. And it would serve to pass the time. Yes, she resolved. With some careful thought, she was sure she could pull it off, and it would certainly liven things up. Little did Amalthea know that she had bitten off far more than she could chew, when she suddenly finds herself embroiled in a dangerous murder investigation, her only ally being an attractive but rather disagreeable private investigator with a secretive past and a strong dislike for opinionated women. Still, if she wasn't careful, she could find that the biggest threat to her latest diversion was not the case at all, but rather an unexpected something, or someone, a little closer to home. This story is dedicated to Dickie, who acted as my consultant in all things historical. Highest Rankings: #1 historicalmystery (March 2021) #1 crimeromance (March 2021)Complete
