The Girl Who Was Buried In Her Ball Gown
After one of the best evenings of her life, at the junior high school ball, a young girl experiences her first and only kiss. During the awkward moment, something goes terribly wrong and her life is turned upside down, severing her from the usual humdrum of a teenage girl and hurling her into the world of the paranormal. Who can she trust, where can she turn? And what is it with this 'other girl' that has befriended her in this foreign place? Why is this impostor leading her to places she does not want to go and pretending to be someone that she is not? As the young girl drifts unknown paths, she begins to unravel the mysteries, learns of new threats she could not predict and finds herself in situations that cannot be controlled. She discovers these unpredictable threats can cross both lines, creating havoc wherever they appear. Will she find all the answers and pick up the pieces, or will she be lost in this oblivion forever? **N.B. This will be published very soon so, if you want to be one of my honoured Pre-Published review team members, then message me and I will send you the fully re-edited manuscript, prior to it being published, so you can do a fantastical review on the live, published version for me (on amazon, goodreads etc,). That would be so cool. :) www.dotandtittle.comComplete
The Teen in the Shadows Finds a Night in Shining Black Armor
This story talks about a girl who is not loved by anyone around her but her grandfather. But once he dies she is finally left completely alone to fend for herself.... I wrote this story for a Halloween short story but it turned into something much longer and more heart felt than I had thought it would become... please comment what you like and what corrections are needed.Complete
A Ghostly Gang Short Story Collection
Collection of Short Stories that I wrote that involves my original characters from The Ghostly Gang, which is my original creation and character. The picture on the top of this is my art and is of the twins. The story 'The Forgotten Park'-came about from catching the bus to work one morning in the middle of winter just before the sun came up and the mists were rising from the ground and the bus went past one of those parks that every suburb or city seems to have but generally lay forgotten. The others are just random short stories I've written about the Gang. I'll mark this is as complete for now as I haven't written a lot more short stories (mainly some longer ones) about the gang in recent years. Please feel free to comment or vote as I would really love some feedbackComplete

Ashes and Embers
"I warned you, Kristina," he said, leaning closer to me, his hand scorching my wrist, his silver eyes darkening to a stormy grey. "I told you what would happen if you defied me." Fire was racing up and down my arm. The rose necklace burned at my throat. "I love you, my Angel," he murmured, his eyes closing as he brought my hand up to his cheek. "The only question is, do you love me?" *** When Kriss Darcy returns to her family's upstate New York manor after her first year of university, she has no idea what the future has in store for her. A nineteen-year-old former theater star, she hasn't sung for others since her father, her idol and coach, died two years prior. But an obsession changes everything. A heavenly voice. Whispers of help. Passionate music stirring the air... and terrorizing the residents of the manor. A silver glare and a burning self-hatred. That's Ash. Childhood memories. A stolen kiss. Binging sitcoms... and confusing the hell out of Kriss. A shamrock gaze and a boyish charm. That's Jase. As the past meets the present, Kriss must decide what she wants. But every choice has a consequence - some more dire than others. *** "To love is to burn, to be on fire. Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility. And I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to be set on fire." -------- #1 in masquerade - June 15, 2021 #1 in angel - November 8, 2021 #4 in demons - November 8, 2021 #7 in opera - April 3, 2022Complete

Completed: (1/3/19) "Any questions you would like to ask me?" As soon as Mr.Conrad said that mostly all the girls' hands shot up and a few boys. "Yes, girl in the pink flowery dress." he gestured towards me and I blushed. Derek scoffed and glared at the teacher. "Are you single?" I asked bravely. "Yes I am. Was that suppose to mean something?" He smirked at me and I sunk into my seat, my cheeks blazing red. *********************** Sophie is a passionate dancer with two best friends Lacey and Megan. When they all meet the new teacher, she catches his attention, but what she doesn't know is that there is a boy that has liked her for as long as he could remember. Find out more by reading the original story of Sophie & Mr. Conrad. (Trilogy to shy girl, you can read this separately, but I highly encourage you to read shy girl first.)

【 ꜰᴏʀᴍᴇʀ ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ! ꜰ. ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ x ᴍ!ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ 】 This world has never felt real to you, especially when you found yourself obsessed with a certain boy in your class. It doesn't help that you felt some kind of force whispering to you to kill him in order to prove your love. So, you did. Strangely, the world seemed to be against him dying, because you found time kept repeating itself each time he died. You kept murdering him until a sudden epiphany dawned on you, as if you had broken away from the force controlling you. You were a character in a game-a villain who would always kill the protagonist. However, as if the developers knew you were no longer controllable, they replaced you so the boy you were obsessed with would still die and time would never move forward. Hence, you took it upon yourself to protect him. But why does the protagonist seem to be acting strange?Complete
𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 (m. yanderes x reader)
(COMPLETED) (Y/n) couldn't be happier. Ever since she could remember her biggest dream had been to become a Prima Ballerina, and now entering Bellemont Ballet Academy she's closer to her goal than ever before. And farther away from home than she's ever been, not that this bothers her though, if anything this only makes Bellemont Academy that much more appealing. And everything could have been perfect if her past had been okay with letting her go and if her future didn't hide monsters of another kind. Unfortunately (Y/n) couldn't be so lucky and should have known that Fate wasn't quite done with her. WARNINGS: this story will contain violence, gore, blood, murders and sexual content. Please proceed with caution if any of these trigger you. ( Inspired by: Bloody Hands by AnaDWinter, Dancing through the fire by LTMay)Complete
