Aphrathena Ayala knows what it feels like to be forgotten.
At thirteen, she finds herself trapped between psychiatric facilities, foster care, and a society that seems increasingly hostile to people like her. The only person who ever truly understood her was her sister, Dawn.
Then Dawn dies.
As grief reshapes her world, strange changes begin spreading across the globe. Fear grows. Governments tighten their grip. People are changing in ways no one can explain, and those who stand out are becoming targets.
What begins as one girl's struggle to survive soon becomes a fight over who gets to decide the fate of the human race.
As powerful forces compete for control of humanity's future, Aphrathena finds herself questioning something no one else seems willing to ask.
If saving someone means taking away their freedom, is it really saving them at all?
An Anomaly in Theory is a science-fantasy epic about grief, identity, power, and the choices that define us despite it all.

Chrysalis Days & Butterfly Nights [Wattys 2023 Shortlist]
Luke had always struggled with a sense of himself, fighting to reconcile feelings that threatened his relationships and his identity. After years of pushing those feelings deep down inside, and after losing his wife in a tragic accident, those feelings he thought consigned to the past begin to reemerge. When a night turns terrifying and traumatic, he is saved by the statuesque Helen, who recognises his struggle and supports Luke on a spiritual journey in search of his true self. But his search for meaning in the bittersweet emotions that are blossoming within threaten to destroy his friendships, his home life and his resolve to become the person he had always known himself to be. Or, rather, who she knew herself to be. A sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heart-lifting, sometimes harrowing and sometimes touching tale about accepting who you truly are. 🏵Wattys 2023 Shortlist🏵 🏵Featured by FreeTheLGBT - Diverse Literature - July 2023🏵 🏵Featured by Stories Undiscovered - Jan 2023🏵 🏵Featured by @WackyWriters - Undiscovered Gems Under 1k - Feb 2023🏵 🥉3rd Place - General Fiction Category -Pretty In Punk 'Punk Rock Awards' Apr 2023🥉 Cover created in Canva, using an AI generated picture.Complete
AbOMINATION (The Remnants Saga, Book 1)
They were born different. They were told they were wrong. Science calls them Aberrations. The government calls them Abominations. To the world, they're monsters blamed for its collapse. Hunted. Culled. Dissected. Erased. But in a fight for memory, identity, and survival, what happens when the only way to live... is to become exactly what they fear?
Recalls of Surrender
Alchemy has always been a key to understanding the universe, yet it has often been dismissed as mere superstition. The truth seared through my veins like scorching heat, igniting every cell of my being with a searing, uncompromising judgment. I sacrificed everything-my strength and sense of identity-chasing after an overwhelming purpose. Duty and conviction waged a war against a primal yearning for freedom, unleashing a maelstrom of emotions that threatened to tear me apart. This internal hell fueled an insatiable, maddening lust for vengeance, obliterating my moral compass and propelling me toward utter destruction. Only when I made a final decision did the fundamental principles of morality seem to slip through my fingers like grains of sand. Each savage blow against the oppressive system left me questioning: am I a righteous crusader, or a monster consumed by hatred? The poisonous doubt gnawed at my mind, suffocating my thoughts with insidious whispers. Yet, I found the strength to silence them. With fierce determination burning in my veins, I vowed to break free from the chains of oppression or die trying. Fear would not hold me captive any longer. As I teetered on the edge of life and death, I couldn't help but wonder: would I emerge victorious or succumb to the relentless wheels of fate? The answer lies shrouded in the mists of an uncertain future, but one thing is irrefutable: win or lose, every decision will ignite an inferno of change. This cataclysmic revolution will raze the old world and herald the birth of a new era. In this cosmic roulette, even the most steadfast warriors can turn to dust in the blink of an eye. Therefore, are you willing to participate? Given that there always was, is, and will be war. Hope stands stronger than fear, yet anything is possible when darkness lingers. It is the deflection of accountability and guilt. Yet when all seems lost, trust that the butterfly knows where the water flows.
