Alice: How long is forever?
White rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.
The time-maze had them all burnt from inside. They met just as two cliché sunken teenagers and parted ways like leaking static charges. But were they meant to cross again? They left pieces of each other, like handwritten letters, journals and memories. Memories, ouch.
The past keeps wrecking them and those wrecked ships can't sail in the storm the future is bringing upon them. And the present? Well, It's limited.
*
Elijah, a closed mysterious book in the darkest corners of a library. He sees the world through lenses, lenses of the camera he always carries. Polaroids, poetries, and paintings are etched like hearts in his gray eyes.
Eleanor, a lost and clueless soul just wandering around for the great perhaps. And she loves the dark corners of libraries, journals, pearls of emotions in the forms of metaphors and words, paints, glitters, cookie dough, and vintage letters.
They collide and an artistic mess comes into being.
Even more when the past they kept tasting arrive back. Even more when they're now back to home.

When We Were Us
They were always together-until they weren't. Lyric was his anchor, his safe place. Elijah was her whole world, even when he didn't see it. She loved him in silence, watching as he gave his heart to someone else. She smiled through the pain, pretending it didn't hurt. Then one day, she let go. Years pass. Lives change. But some ties don't break so easily. When their paths cross again, old wounds resurface, and unspoken words hang heavy between them. He had her once and didn't know it. Now he sees her-but she's not the same girl who waited for him. This time, it's his turn to chase. ---

Your voice (Under Editing)
Evangeline is a young girl with a painful past which has left too many scars on her shoulders. Trying not to give up is hard, especially when she doesn't find the will to talk anymore. When fate takes her to the White mansion, she encounters a man who's set up to discover what she is hiding. However, the more he unravels her secrets, the more is Elijah White not willing to let Evangeline give up her life. *Excerpt* Watching her carefully, she darted her eyes in the room, looking for a way out because the door was behind me and she had to pass by me to reach it. I could see how her breathing became even more frantic and I cursed again under my breath, remembering now that I was standing before her, half naked, watching intensely a woman who was on verge of crying and screaming. I didn't even want to know how it would look like if someone else would come now in the room. My ego didn't miss the moment to show up and remind me that my body or my face didn't have the effect I wanted on this woman. Not even close. And the next second, I started to feel embarrassed. Very embarrassed. I didn't even know that I could ever use that word when referring to myself. I had to do something before this woman would faint right before me. Think about something, you idiot. If you were able to come up with this stupid plan, you should get out of it too. "I want you to help me put on a new shirt." Way to go, idiot. I couldn't think of something else but it didn't seem it worked because she eyed me suspiciously and now, I felt even more stupid. TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains strong language and mature themes of sexual abuse, drug use and death. These mature themes will be just mentioned a few times and I will distinctly outline those chapters. As mentioned, this book may contain sexual material but it will not be the main focus of the story. ****Lengkap
Porcelain Skin (NOW ON AMAZON KU)
"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"Lengkap
Beneath the Silence
Eleanor, 19, is living on borrowed time. She's continuing her studies not out of passion, but more out of survival instinct. Not because she dreams of a brilliant career, but because the idea of failing-and having to go back home-makes her sick. Home is a house full of heavy silences, unspoken blame, and above all, a mother consumed by addiction. Their relationship is an emotional minefield. Though physically distant, Eleanor is never truly free. And every call, every message from her mother threatens to pull her back into the chaos she's desperate to escape. At college, she tries to hang on. Her only support is Wallace, her best friend since middle school. Always there. Tall, protective, destined for a pro career in basketball. Wallace is steady, radiant-the complete opposite of the world Eleanor comes from. He helps her stay afloat. Keeps her from drowning. Until one day, a figure appears in a campus hallway-and everything shifts. Danny Shepard. The name alone freezes her in place. It takes Eleanor a moment to recognize him: the scrawny, furious boy she knew at sixteen has become a man. Calmer. Darker. More... unreadable. After assaulting his sports coach, Danny was sentenced to juvenile detention and vanished for four years. On his return, he was denied entry into the third year of med school. He enrolled elsewhere, at the bottom rung of the university ladder. Where Eleanor studies. And he doesn't recognize her. She, on the other hand, never forgot. The bond they shared-fragile and secret, woven during adolescence through stolen glances and charged silences-left a mark. But Danny seems to have erased her. Why? Has he truly forgotten? Or has he buried that part of his life? Eleanor senses that behind the cold mask, there's a war raging. Repressed memories. A guilt that never properly healed.
They were always together-until they weren't. Lyric was his anchor, his safe place. Elijah was her whole world, even when he didn't see it. She loved him in silence, watching as he gave his heart to someone else. She smiled through the pain, pretending it didn't hurt. Then one day, she let go. Years pass. Lives change. But some ties don't break so easily. When their paths cross again, old wounds resurface, and unspoken words hang heavy between them. He had her once and didn't know it. Now he sees her-but she's not the same girl who waited for him. This time, it's his turn to chase. ---
