Luna Enwright has spent most of her life shying away from people and social situations. Call her socially awkward, however her voluntary isolation takes its roots in a secret that makes social anxiety just a convenient pretence. To her, a simple hug or hand shake feels like her last breath. She soon discovered that these uncanny visions were those of her encounters' deaths. Hence, when she keeps noticing the interest a misty stranger has taken to her, she blames it on her mind and its tricks. Yet, one morning, as he introduces himself as 'Edmond De Revel', a neurobiologist coincidentally working at the same Parisian university as her, she is forced to admit to herself that the stranger was indeed a real person. Unfortunately, that isn't her only realization. What kind of ending did fate reserve this odd man? That was the issue, for the first time, Luna simply couldn't tell.

I notice how his lip curls up at the edge when he sees me. A soft breeze blows his scent across the room, and I can't think. Roses and salty ocean waves fill my nostrils. Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy. I scramble back up the stairs. ____________________ Opening up when something terrible happens is hard. Near impossible.

Reveur
It was morning. I stood with closed eyes in the bathroom. I stood at the sink with a mirror in front of me. I felt thin and long fingers on my waist. I knew it was a dream. I felt talons. They didn't hurt me but I had a feeling if I opened my eyes they would. I felt breathing down my spine. Chills and fear shook my whole body. I couldn't look but I wanted so badly to see and know what or who was behind me. A tear of fear slowly slid down my cheek. I gasped in a low voice when I felt a tongue lick it away. More tears started falling when I felt a clawed finger brush the salvia away. I whimpered when I heard it speak: "It's okay. I'm only here to protect you and help you." Lissie is being stalked and she does not know what to do or who to tell. She does not know what is following her. She's got to be dreaming but when the thing following her keeps stalking she realizes that this might not be a dream. But what is it? Where does it come from? Why follow her?Complete

Revolving Mirrors: Anger. Men. & Sex.
REVOLVING MIRRORS, the first of a 4 part mini-novel series. REVOLVING MIRRORS opens with the main character, Tatum Blackwood, delving into her diary searching for her identity through God and her physical appearance. Not being able to find either one, Tatum decides to meet with her therapist, Dr. Codwell, whom she hasn't seen in 12 years, since her mother's death. During her brief but intense session with Dr. Codwell, Tay revisited a relationship that ended with the murder of her affaired lover and shortly after an obvious confession, but not even scratching the surface of what was underneath her pain. After deciding to see her therapist, she needed a good dose of friend therapy. Unfortunately, Tatum still wasn't ready to discuss her real issues, a Black woman with Googled diagnosed anorexia and newly added schizophrenia. So, she decided to do what she always does, divert the conversation to something else. This something was Kurt and Addison. Ending the first volume the same way it began, Tatum finds herself in her diary still confused and running from what was truly troubling her... Him. It was him. Not Addison. Nor Kurt. It was him, and the uncertainty of what truly happened. Was he acting innocently or natively? Could it have been jealousy? Or maybe what was once sweet to him turned bitter. Deciding to finally find out the truth, she grabbed her favorite wand, her strongest crystal, and hurried to see the High Priestess Ade-Ifatayo. Deep down Tatum knew what this divination would show, and that she knew she would have to walk through the door of spirit, into the darkness. Where there are no rules except one, unyielding chaos.Complete
Reflected sorrows
A lost, grieving soul enters the jaws of an insatiable beast, where the eyes of uncannily well-preserved paintings reach for her weary, lonesome corpse like crows. This mansion has no history to be felt or heard; it's as if the rooms are hollow and ravenous, their stale tranquillity broken by irregular draughts that send shudders down her spine as oppressive as the clattering of a needle to the floor. There lie secrets. Secrets and betrayals. In the mirrors, familiar faces crawl out from their eternal doom to grasp her pale skin and whisper trenchant advice into her ears with a sickly tongue, hearing her heartbeat like the ticking of a clock; candles that breathe within her. Those faces have lain so long in wait among the stitches and threads of madness, waiting for her arrival. Though the hours crawl onwards, she remains, watching and listening to the whispers of sorrow that lurk behind her at every acrimonious gust of wind howling through the mouth of the great beast. What awaits her within these halls, engulfed in oppressive, potent mists of grief? Who may she meet in the reflections of trembling malady? Through it all, that face haunts her every step. Yellow skin and seething eyes. Ink-stained and bloody. Cackling as insidious as death. Woeful as grief.Complete
