Gwendolyn Fairbourne is the only known human witch of the 21st century, a marvel of humanity and a target of the ADAD, a governmental agency tasked with researching the mythical. Their secret? Fairytale creatures - called the Folk - are real, and they've been hiding them underground.
Caught by the agency, she's forced to attend the Folk's university - Lyonhall Woods - acting as an ambassador, but she knows it's a cover. The ADAD plans to start something terrible between the Folk and humanity, but she doesn't know how to stop it. It's harder to know when she's befriending so many Folk who love her, but know more about the history of Lyonhall than they let on.
What can she do? What about her cat?

where ghosts wander || ONC 2022
Lila Unwinter is not a very talented witch; she mostly has a lot of ambition, determination, and enough spite to last her a few hundred years. How else was she supposed to survive the past sixteen years, after she lost both her best friend and her family over something she can barely even remember now? They're not dead, of course, but for all that they care about her, she might as well be. But then her magic decides to send her home for lunch break one day, and she not only finds out about a curse that's taken hold of her way back when she was only six years old, but also reconnects with her childhood friend (who's considerably less alive now). A series of events unfolds that may well redefine Lila's perception of both love and magic itself. Featuring: way too many ghosts, the town at the Edge of the world, knife and sword-wielding girls, sapphic childhood-friends-to-lovers, ghost kitties, weird magic and magical creatures, and a certain three-headed dog. ________________ an entry for the open novella contest 2022Complete
Starry Eyed Fighters book 1
Belle grew up with a relatively normal life in Ireland, raised by her grandparents who nurtured her into young adulthood. However, after learning the truth about her real parents following her college graduation, her world shifted. The mystery of her parents' sudden disappearance began to weigh heavily on her, filling her with unanswered questions. Determined to uncover the truth about this crucial part of her life, Belle decided to stop living in the dark. As a brilliant professor at Silver Lining University, she leveraged every advantage at her disposal-tapping into the institution's vast network of resources, connections, and research tools. After years of investigation, she finally stumbled upon a lead: an abandoned, once-hidden village buried in rumors. The village was said to have once been home to Vampires, human-like aliens, and other rare magical creatures, but the most troubling rumor tied the place to a series of strange disappearances over the years-disappearances that Belle realized were connected to her parents. Armed with this knowledge and driven by her unrelenting determination, Belle embarks on a journey to the village, hoping to uncover the answers she had been longing for a couple years.
