My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

|1| The Flora Felony |EDITING|
|<>| "You and I are used to dealing with mysteries that live on the page." "There are no bad guys. There are just complicated people who did bad things." "I've got enough crime fact in my life. I don't need to read about it." |<>| When crime fiction and MONK nut Alex Walker stumbles upon a missing persons case on her college campus, she is determined to prove to the police department in her small hometown of Brenker, Washington that her discoveries are legitimate. She will do whatever it takes to persuade them, including finding the victim she knows is in danger. Enter Tyler Burns - the mysterious new detective intern with no knowledge of the world that Alex and her companions live in - the world of fictional mystery. He is tall dark and handsome, but with that order comes a side of stubborn, doubtful, and inquisitive. When their worlds collide, the two are forced together to find their vanished victim, but who knows how complicated that will get. But the real question is not whether the victim is found, nor how Alex and Tyler will manage to find them without getting killed - or killing each other. The real question, the only one that matters, the one that has fueled crime fiction - one of the most successful genres in history - is really quite simple. Whodunnit? |<>|Complete

A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)
