Following the end of George's childhood and into a new, aggravating world that has no loose ends to tie. He and his friends will have to survive past the thinnest of ice when it comes to the Redwoods chasing them, the newfound creatures of the world, and the looming threat of their own mistakes. With or without their blood within their skin, the bones in their bodies, their brains in their skulls. They'll have to hope and grasp onto each other to survive the next sunrise. Join me once more on the continuation of George's life story. Let us find out if he will survive under these increasingly brutal times. Or perhaps he will crack and fall under the surfacing pressure that surrounds his being like a snake. Maybe the Redwoods will take him prisoner. Maybe his own mind will take him for a wild ride. Maybe the creatures of the day and night will take him instead. But he knows, deep within his soul he knows, that they won't take him alive.

People in her city were always widely curious about her life and some boys had actually tried to invite her out on dates, to the horror of her mother.

Ghost in the Shadows
When I first met him, he was feral-like a smart Neanderthal. He blended with the Oregon forest like the predator himself, but at least this one, you could look at. I was just trying to get justice for my friend, chasing a story that felt too important to ignore. But instead of answers, I found Aaron Hallam. I nearly died protecting him in my own home, and when I thought he was gone for good-erased by LT, I threw it all away. Moved back to New York. Tried to start over. Then, just when I thought I'd left it behind, I ended up on a blind date with a predator of a different kind. I almost became another missing girl, trafficked and forgotten. But Aaron-the supposedly dead fugitive-came back like a ghost, slashing the bastard up before he could lay a hand on me. Now I'm stuck with him again. And honestly? I'm good right here.
Guardian (mxm)
Book 2 in Stray Series. I know I'm not worthy of a second chance. I've taken away so many others' second chances. I took their lives in my hands and each time chose mine over theirs. It didn't matter who they were, if they had family, how old they were. I had a job to do. If I heard even a whisper, it was over. I had to. I didn't want to, but I had to. It didn't even matter in the end. She's gone now. I'm all alone. Somehow, for some reason, a second chance was bestowed on me. But I don't want it. I can't have it. And he knows it too. -This story has depictions of violence, SA, depression, panic attacks, gore.

My Bleeding Heart
Hello. This is a story much like "The Hunger Games". You'll know what I mean once you read. Anyway, this story will have various *Trigger Warnings* so *proceed with caution*. I know the cover looks a little odd but I do fully intend to change it. Just not as of now. This is very much a story you will have to read to know what it's about in detail. Keep in mind I haven't written a story or book in more than 2 years. So this is definitely a little sloppy, but I hope it's at least up to pare. I'm not exactly expecting this to get much attention, I actually don't know if I want it to get any at all. But, here we are. I hope y'all enjoy if you do decide to read. :) ‼️NOTICE‼️ This book will involve many sensitive topics and content. Proceed with caution. Things it will include, but are not limited to: SH, Slurs, Death, Murder, Abuse, Racism, Ableism, Gaslighting, Delusions, Hallucinations, Medication, Abuse Of Power, NSFW/Smut Etc.
Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
