Nicoletta Holland was always going to be known as the Baby in the Graveyard. With a start to life like that, in a town where trampled gardenias are newsworthy, a lasting moniker was unavoidable. That, paired with her childhood escapades and her unknockable interest in the local forest, made Nico a reluctant legend with a big secret.
Seven years after that town disappeared over the horizon as she drove away, Nico's back, and she's having to face the real reason she left. The town has changed, and the people who live there are no longer the ones from her memories, but one thing remains exactly the same: the woods call her name, and she wants to know why.

The room spun in quick, repeating circles as darkness surged, covering everything I saw and felt with a thick, black blanket. I couldn't remember anything. Not who I was. Not where I was. Not who was with me. Not what I was supposed to be doing. But, as I lay there, unconscious, beginning to go insane with pain, I could still hear, still remember, him. I could remember the voice of someone I had met, not that long ago, that already meant the world to me.

Lenora's Grimoire
Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021 ***Please note, this is also available on Amazon via ebook and paperback***Complete
