It's 2001, and Emily has lost her childhood home to both a haunting spirit and now the government is ready to snatch it up. Emily regrets ever inviting that spirit into her house and wants to make it right (and get her stuff back). Terrified since the ghost possessed her, Emily's life takes an unexpected turn when her name is drawn for a rare Halloween festival. A camp of spirits is the last place she wants to go, but if she doesn't show up, her classmates won't let her hear the end of it. But a comment from a classmate suggests the festival may hold the secret to banishing the spirit.
Digging deeper, Emily learns about a mysterious portal opener who releases spirits on festival grounds every nineteen years. This has happened since the first festival's unexplainable "accident." Joined by her cousins, Emily rides terrifying rides, follows suspicious camp leaders, questions creepy carnies, and pieces together clues about the festival's dark past. All while gathering tickets to win the grand prize and spite a bully.
But when Emily discovers a secret book, she must face her fears before the spirits unleash a dangerous entity. If she can't control her fears, everyone at the festival risks losing their sanity. Can she master her fears, banish the spirits, and reclaim her home?

Reaching a decision that will forever change her life, not to mention the fate of the world, she seeks out the one person that can give her the strength she needs. However, she knows that this help won't come easy. Or painless. What she doesn't realize is that the Sons of Iapeth are on the hunt and should she get the help she desperately desires, they will come for her. With one group hunting her and another group hunting those she loves, the walls are closing in and time for them is running out and just as it seems there may be moonlight in her future, she lets her guard down and may pay the ultimate price. THIS IS THE THIRD BOOK OF THE (what was supposed to be trilogy, but it's looking like four... I hate me.) FOUR BOOK SERIES. If you start here, you will be HELLA confused.

There will also be things that happen that might be uncomfortable to read. I can't apologize, because this is the story.

If things do, I will post an A/N alerting anyone to the fact, with the date, so you know if you need to check up on it. Because I still have SO MUCH STORY to go, I'll post the first three chapters now, because I feel safe that they won't change. After that I will post a chapter every other day. When I finish, I'll post the rest of it at once. Okay, so, not that I have written a novella here, I will start posting the novel. To my returning readers, I love you all, so fucking much!Complete
Raven's Heir | ONC 2021 honourable mention
Sandrine is reluctant to take the job as a ghost hunter, despite her ancestral gift. And when she meets her boss and future partners, every fibre of her being tells her to quit-but she needs the money. How hard can it be to dispel the ghost of a bird? Soon, she finds herself fighting the advances of a medieval playboy, targeted by a flock of ectoplasmic ravens, and trying to solve the puzzle of the cottage in the lake. With disaster waiting around the corner, she truly has no time for a budding romance, right? ~ ~ ~ My entry for the open novella contest 2021. Prompts: No 5: There is a terrible drought ravaging the land, but when the waters recede from the local lake/reservoir, they reveal something no one expected to find. No 64. What should have been a simple task for a trio of ghost hunters quickly becomes something for which the term 'Worst Case Scenario' is the mother of all understatement. No 61. I would've lived longer if it weren't for Lorraine. There's only one issue... who's Lorraine?

The Things You Will Never Know
If you go down to the woods today... Well, in this town, you probably won't come back. Unexplained deaths and disappearances are normal around here. In Haltonshaw Grove, we tell these real life horror stories to our kids like bedtime tales. They help us learn from a young age to stay out of the forest after dark. But one halloween, we didn't listen- Me and four boys. We broke the rules and we paid the price. We barely made it out alive and now we live with the trauma, the nightmares, the memories. Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - ‐ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner...

Touch: Saving Ai | ✓
[Vᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ 1 - Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ] Evelyn White was born with a gift - or rather, a curse: the first time she touches someone, she sees when and how that person dies. Meeting new people is sickening. Walking through a crowd is hell. Not to mention that when she opens her big mouth to tell people what's going to happen to them, most treat her like she's crazy - even after she saves their lives. But meddling with the future has consequences, and Death is not all there is to fear. As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Trying to get close using mind games and tricks. It knows about her powers. It knows she can change Fate - and it's not alone. ------------------------------------------- This book is written in Australian English and uses British style grammar.

WATTPAD VERSION *** Ever since she was born, Aurora Diaz has had a gift: the ability to see spirits. She's gone through life with this as a normal thing; her cousin, Arthur Diaz, at her side with the same ability. Together, and with their spirit friend, Lydia, they help lost spirits and keep an eye on the Spirit Veil--the barrier separating the world of the living and the realm of the dead. The three come across an ancient scroll linking to Lydia's life before death. The scroll comes with a warning: there is a time when the Veil can be broken every ten thousand years. This date is within the next two weeks! When another version of the scroll is found on a dig, it is soon stolen by a spiritualist eager to prove the existence of life after death. Aurora, Arthur, and Lydia set out to stop them before one of the greatest secrets of existence is unleashed upon the world of the living.

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes?

Nightwalker | ONC 2025 LONGLISTER
It has been a week since the old mausoleum at the Nethermly Cemetery collapsed without warning. This week has been full of unexplained deaths and strange sightings. Like every resident of Nethermly, Reverie Ashford had locked herself safely in her house. She planned to enjoy some peace and quiet until the town returned to normal. But of course, the universe seems to hate her: The first newcomer the town has had in centuries had to come knocking at her door. Draven did not want to ask for her help. But his people had been massacred, and if the remaining few didn't act fast, the same would happen to the oblivious residents of Nethermly. He did not want to dig up his past, nor did he want to drag an unwilling girl into this. But they needed every help they could get, and they were running out of time. If they failed, Nethermly would be erased from the map. Prompt 86: Nobody new has come to your hidden town in centuries - until now. Someone appears on your doorstep, claiming they're here to find you. But how do they know your name? Prompt 103: After a catastrophic accident affects an entire town, the residents begin experiencing strange and inexplicable symptoms. |ONC 2025 LONGLISTER & ROUND 2 AMBASSADOR'S PICK||1X FEATURED| Rose Gold Awards 2025: Best First Line 4th place Rose Gold Awards 2025: Paranormal 5th placeComplete
