The World In-Between
Twenty-five and lost, Alex retreats to their ancestral house in a quiet countryside to escape the noise of a life that refuses to add up. Not a single dream fulfilled, not a clear path in sight. Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.Complete

Travis came to Forest Hill carrying more than a guitar and a lifetime of memories. He came with grief.

A grieving family struggles with wounds that never healed. A small-town sheriff tries to protect people from things he doesn't understand. An old woodsman carries stories nobody wants to believe. A group of young ghost hunters arrives looking for proof that the dead are real-only to discover that some truths are better left buried. At the center of it all is Genevieve. Beautiful. Mysterious. As Travis becomes drawn to her, their connection begins to blur the line between romance and obsession, memory and reality, life and death. The closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes that Forest Hill isn't simply haunted. It remembers.Complete
