"Unlovable: A Study in Collapse"
Xavier Smith is not a hero. He's not a survivor. He's a 23-year-old Black man with too much pain, too much self-awareness, and no interest in healing. A failed writer, a college dropout, an addict and a narcissist with just enough charm to keep people close-and just enough damage to destroy anyone who tries. This is not a redemption arc. This is a slow death in thirty chapters. Told in fragments, flashbacks, explicit encounters, and brutal inner monologues, Unlovable is the unflinching autopsy of a man who knew he was broken and chose not to be saved. Through the eyes of the women who tried to love him, the friends who watched him fall, and the world that only clapped after he bled out, this is a study in collapse-raw, lyrical, and unforgiving. For anyone who's ever tried to love someone who didn't believe they were worth the effort. For the ones who almost made it. And the ones who didn't.iComplete

I'm Not Crazy
We are not the broken clichés you want us to be anymore. We have transcended beyond the "Good Girl ~ Bad Boy" boxes they tried to put us in. We are so far beyond all that now, that we are finally free of all those stereotypes. The story of us is not the usual cliche "good girl" meets "bad boy" that instantly fall in love. Oh, and after a few almost funny mishaps everything works out perfectly story. Or the other one where the brooding bad boy with a tragic past gets a second chance to become a happy, well-adjusted person again. All thanks to the love of an awesomely perfect popularity princess with a pure heart of gold. Who sees "something special" inside him, that no one else can see ...and sets him on a straight path. All that once in a lifetime fairy dust love, that only exists for perfect pretty popularity princesses in the happily ever after. No, this is the other kind of love story ...the messy kind, that messes peoples lives up irrevocably, for all time. The real kind of love story, that comes hand in hand with hopes and fears, and all that real hurt that burns at your heart. So while our Crazy love might not be as bright and shiny as that fairy dust love is ...our love will kick your loves ass any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Because our love knows the secret truth about itself. That it's not about how perfectly you fall in love, it's how you get the back up after love kicks your ass sideways, and you come back looking for more. Because our love is that Crazy kind of love, that is so forever you have to fight for it 'till the bitter end ...or die trying. The kind of love that comes with beer, pizza, football and a hell of a lot of laughs ...but mostly at everyone else's expense. ~First Place Chicklit - 2017 Blue Rose Award~ ~ Second Place for Teen Fiction - The Star Blazer Awards 2018~ ~ Honorable Mention for Best Plot - 2017 Royalty Awards ~Complete
