Located in a picturesque small town in Northern Virginia, Proudley College is one of the nation's most prestigious HBCUs*. A film and media student with a love for art and photography, second-year Indy Helaire still isn't sure just how she earned her spot there.

When a professor assigns Indy to write a report on a cold case, Indy learns about ex-handyman Lamar Pine, who has been on death row ever since he was found guilty of murdering a woman in 1978. At first she plans to write the report and forget about it, until she finds a journal once owned by the murder victim, and a message for her inside of it:

"It wasn't him." 

Armed with this spectral set of new clues, Indy and her friends set out to find out what really happened, and free Lamar Pine before it's too late.

But one day she makes a single error that brings her closer to a human than she ever wanted to be. Now she'll have to give up the life she's made for herself or fight the light to save her home. Let sleeping dogs lie. That's what college dropout Justin tells himself everyday, ignoring the issues piling up in his life. He's made it work this long. But one day he comes across something totally out of place in his world, and it's only the first of many. Now he has to either accept there's a stalker living in his house, or that his mind is unraveling.

Stones Diary: Built for Pressura' 2 by _jasthewriter

When you love someone, you tend to worship the ground they walk on. The sun sets and rises on that person with grace and it brings you peace. But when chaos swings in like a violent flame, your world turns upside down. There were shots heard around the city that shook the core of the earth and parted the heavens. A life was in danger. A man was wanted. A beautiful family had been disturbed and the beast was awakened. Hunting was a game for the wise and mighty but often fools thought they could outsmart a blind man with heightened senses. The devil threw in his chips and The Stone family planned to call his bluff. © 2022 _jasthewriter aka xjasrenae

The Whole Truth by jaxharlow

Adele knows she witnessed a murder - what she doesn't know is just how personal it is. ***** A girl was brutally murdered in the basement of a sorority house in spring 2011. Adele Theroux thinks she saw the killer - and the killer definitely saw her. What she doesn't know is why this all happened and who this guy is. As she tries to solve the mystery from a distance while in witness protection, the connections keep getting weirder and more personal. Might she be able to relate to the killer in a way that no one else can? And what does that mean about her own psyche? *2019 Watty Award for Mystery/Thriller* [[word count: 50,000-60,000 words]] Cover designed by April Alforque

ATTENTION: YOU MUST READ FRESHMEN YEAR FIRST! Freshly new nineteen year old, Shai Carter, is back with even more madness. Entering his sophomore year of college, Shai returns with an "I don't care" attitude that surely raises some eyebrows and stirs up unnecessary conflict. Matters become worse when his mother, Allison, tries to find her way back into his life. He didn't know her true intentions for being back or whether she was going to stay around for once. He did know one thing surely, he wasn't going to allow anyone or anything interrupt his ongoing peace of mind. He was staying true to himself, avoiding all drama and bullcrap that people could possibly pull on him. That included the ones he loved. But drama seems to always find him. She didn't think her second year would be like this but it was something. Eighteen year old, Desdemona Young, came back with a fresh new demeanor and confidence. She was claiming this year as hers with no drama. At least, that's what she thought. With the drastically new unpleasant attitudes and people that's been lingering around, Dess wasn't sure if she could handle relationships, school, and her social life all at once. There was one thing she made sure of, life had its ups and downs, but it's up to the person to continue the fight. Would she be willingly to continue when all things fail? Model. Wife. Entrepreneur. Allison Carter-Williams had many talents and skills. But, one that she lacked was being a mother. Missing majority of Shai's life placed a barrier between mother and son that was too hard to piece back together. But with free time this new year, she was using it wisely. Somewhat. With the thoughts of wanting to patch things up with her son, Allison is met with multiple never-ending issues and halts in her mission. She just wanted one thing...a relationship with her child, but that seemed too impossible with secrets and lies she's still holding to. October 18, 2023 - August 22, 2024
