Wanderer ~ The Layton McKinley Story
*If you loved Twilight, this could become your next vampire family to obsess over! * ~Book 2 This book follows, "Revenant~The Layton McKinley Story" Layla has been discovered alive, and Ryder was arrested as her abductor. Layla is delivered to Tye's doorstep. Being unwelcome in her former home, due to Tye's new relationship causes her to be out on the street with nowhere to go. It doesn't take long for trouble to find her again. She faces issues with Luke's brother Levi. He had gone from being a friend, to wanting to kill her. Her connection to Luke's other brother, Ryder, was also confusing her. Layla decides it's best to leave the Hayles behind and venture out on her own. She discovers new love, but soon finds out that her connection to the Hayles and Tye Martino are far from over. Trouble continues to follow her, wherever she goes. Meanwhile, she's still trying to learn who and what exactly she has become, and how to live as normal of a life as possible. This is book two of my series. It is a work of fiction. The idea was inspired by the concept of a vampire having children with a human, creating a coven of half- bloods. I welcome real, constructive feedback. I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as I enjoyed writing it. *All images featured in the book were created using Canva.Complete

This book is a collection of numerous short stories I have created, both mini and midi ones, written in the period of the past twenty years. Some of them are award-winning entries in various micronarrative competitions. Others were adapted with the usage of audio and video stimuli thus creating something akin to hyperliterature. The book cover was done by a Wattpad user and a friend, @AWFrasier. Thank you for designing my cover (again! :)) and at such a lightning speed! Tiny Tales is ONLY available on Wattpad.

The Wrong Girl
It's customary for Gothic romance novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah Smith just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic and the companion to an earl's daughter with a strange affliction of her own, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head and food in her belly when so many orphans starve on the streets. Yet freedom is something Hannah longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of kidnapping. Taken by handsome Jack Langley to a place known as Freak House, she finds herself under the same roof as a mad scientist, his niece, a mute servant and Jack, a fire starter with a mysterious past. They assure Hannah she is not a prisoner and that they want to help her. The problem is, they think she's the earl's daughter. What will they do when they discover they took the wrong girl? A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: When I set out to write the Freak House series, I wanted to put my own spin on the Gothic novels of the Victorian era. I've always loved their creepiness, the secrets, and the romance too, but I wanted to see the story from the perspective of the character that is often present but never the heroine - the girl kept in the attic. I hope you'll enjoy this trilogy as much as I enjoyed writing it.Complete
