'Once upon a time.' 'And they lived happily ever after.'
Fairy tales. Princess stories. The tales your dad tells you as he tucks you into bed when you are just a young child. The sutff only Walt Disney can really create. Things that only ever happen in books, and in movies. Things I wish could happen in real life. Things I wish could happen to me.
Arabella's life is a mess. A complete and total mess. Forget about the crown that sits on top of her head, the jewles around her neck, and the princes trying to win her over. When you take away those things you're left with a young women who wants nothing more than to be happy. On the outside she has it all, but really she has next to nothing.
She's the crown princess. And she's getting married. But not to her true love. No; she's getting married to none other than Prince Demtri.
But she has a secret. And so does he.
This is not your normal fairy tale, not your normal love story, and not your normal arranged marriage story. This is a story about Arabella and how she finds who she really is, how she learns to open her heart and trust someone. This is the story about Demtri; how he changes his ways, and against all odds finds love.
They both want their happy ever after and right they dont have it.

Haven's Knight (Sample of Published Book)
When I was a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. I believed in princes and princesses and knights in shining armor. I believed in forever and happily ever afters. I was ten when reality hit me. My mom brought the evil home with her and there was no escaping it. That's when I learned that fairy tales were just that: fairy tales. The bad stuff is real, though. The difference is that I now know that the monsters and evil villains don't always wear capes and ugly scars. No: most of the time, they appear normal. I'm drowning in reality, in my life, and I've given up hope that a knight in shining armor will rescue me. But maybe... maybe I don't need a Prince Charming after all. Maybe a knight without the shining armor and a broken smile will be enough to save me. *Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published book.Complete

Rell and The Rose
A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.Complete
