"Come Home, Anna Mae" is a deeply emotional and tender story of a teenage girl whose life was tragically cut short over 100 years ago. As an earth-bound spirit, Anna Mae drifts aimlessly, unable to remember the details of her life or death. When a new family moves into her childhood home, forgotten memories begin to resurface. Forming a special bond with Ivy, a young girl the same age Anna was when she died, Anna starts to reconnect with the love, loss, and emotions. In this heartfelt journey, Anna's search for answers becomes a path to peace-a journey to "come home," where she can finally cross over to the afterlife and find the closure she's been longing for.

To The Girl Who Never Forgets
The Girl Who Never Forgets by Divya S After ten years away, Anna returns to her childhood home with a quiet hope - to make peace, to remember warmth, to find closure before her time runs out. But the house she once loved has learned to live without her. Her mother looks through her as if she were a ghost. Her brother avoids her eyes. And the boy she once loved has already built a life that no longer includes her. They say she ruined everything. They say she lied. They never asked what really happened the night she was forced into the dark. As Anna spends her final days inside a home that no longer claims her, she learns that healing does not always come from forgiveness - sometimes it comes from letting go. And when the truth finally returns to the people who abandoned her, they will learn that remembering can be its own punishment. This is a story of grief, memory, quiet bravery, and the kind of love that exists long after the world stops deserving it. Some people never forget. Some memories never forgive. ⸻ Trigger Warnings This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including: • Childhood trauma and neglect • Sexual assault (off-page, referenced, not graphically described) • Family rejection and emotional abuse • Bullying and social isolation • Mental health struggles (PTSD, depression, guilt) • Severe allergic reaction / anaphylaxis • Terminal illness (kidney/liver failure) • Death and grief • Implied self-blame / suicidal thoughts (not acted upon) Reader discretion is advised.

Marie wanted to be as good as her mother wanted. Since her older brother was diagnosed with autism, she is considered the family's "normal" child. She thus feels she must be perfect in every way, which soon turns out to be a haunting task.

Nevertheless, this book is a work of fiction (imaginary friend, haunted house, mystical creatures, paranormal, etc).Complete
I BECAME THE VILLAIN OF A NOVEL | BOOK I
When I woke up this morning, I found myself in a strange room, unfamiliar bed, strangers I've never met, and a body that wasn't mine. The strangers wore a maid outfit, and these people were calling me by the name Nasrin Urduja. This name reminded me of the novel I read before coming into this place. In that novel, Nasrin Urduja was the name of the villain, and her only ending in the book was death. It's strange, and I don't know how it all happened, but right now, I am Nasrin Urduja, the villain of the novel I've read before waking up to this unfamiliar world. In order to survive, I plan to stay away from the main characters of the novel and live my new life as a hermit on a far away forest, but as soon as I turn around, I saw the friendly smiling face of the protagonist. I'm doomed! *** Content Warning: Violence, Torture, Death, Profanities, Abused, Cruelty, Discrimination, and Self-harm. Author's Note: This is my original story. Not a fanfiction.

back & better | BEING EDITED
Annalise Starke had known her mother was going to die eventually; she just hadn't expected it to happen so soon. At fifteen she had moved with her mother back to her home country of Australia with half a heart (metaphorically, of course) and her mother's terminal cancer diagnosis. There, she struggled with the ambiguous loss of mourning someone who was still breathing. But nothing could've prepared her for the real thing. Six months before her projected "death date" Annalise came home to find her mother bloodied and 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘥, and in the blink of an eye, she went from 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 to 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥. 𓇼 Once the police finished investigating, and with no answers to show for it, Annalise follows her mother's dying wish for her to return to the states and reunite with her father and twin brother for her final year of school. She grasps at the strings of her mental health and social life (because as much as she wants it to stop, life moves on, time passes, and her with it) as she navigates the halls of a place that's no longer familiar and struggles to fit back into the mold of the girl she once was. Balance is key, and with her long-time childhood best friend, Sylvie Sorren, by her side, Annalise only has to deal with 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 of the pain in silence-because one minute she's fine and the next she's taking deep breaths in the janitor's closet and wishing death upon her mother's killer an ocean away-as she takes up a new title, becoming the "new girl" all over again. Slowly, her sense of normalcy returns bit by bit. Once again, she cares about the latest trends, loves sports, and she can keep a meal down. Things are looking up...until she gets a strange call from a man claiming to be her mother's killer, and apparently, he doesn't like loose ends.Complete
BOUND (1 of 3)
Arabella Christensen has always known how to survive. Raised in the wreckage of a broken home and trapped in a cycle of addiction, Bella has learned to keep her heart locked behind sarcasm, ink-stained skin, and a lifetime of bad decisions. She's used to the ache, the chaos, the pull of men who promise everything and leave her emptier than before. Then, there's Dylan Barrett. Her best friend. Her what-if. A tattooed twenty-something with too much charm, too many secrets, and a heart that beats louder than he'll admit. Dylan is all mystery and rough edges, but he's someone who sees her when she can barely look at herself. Someone who stays, even when she gives him every reason not to. As Bella fights to stay clean and build a future that doesn't burn her alive, she finds herself caught between the man who's always had her heart, the past that refuses to let go, and the terrifying possibility that love might not be a lie after all. In a world where survival has always meant staying untouchable, can Bella learn to be held? Raw, emotional, and deeply human, Bound is the first book in a gripping character-driven trilogy about trauma, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to let go-even when everything else does.Complete

He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

The Medium
Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.Complete
