"The Ghost in the Town" In a quiet, isolated town where the streets turn ghostly silent after 9 PM, no one dares to wander outside. The townspeople live in fear of an unspoken presence, hiding behind closed doors as the darkness takes over. But 19-year-old Rachael is different. A daydreamer with a heart full of wonder, she escapes the dullness of her world by living in fantasies she weaves inside her mind-until one night, her imagination collides with something real.
She meets him under the moonlight-a mysterious, captivating boy who feels like he was made for her. Their connection is instant, intense, and otherworldly. As the days slip by, Rachael falls deeply in love, finally feeling like she's found someone who truly sees her. But what begins as a beautiful escape slowly turns into something darker.
With the truth unraveling around her and danger creeping closer, Rachael is forced to face an unthinkable decision: protect the one she loves or sacrifice to save the people of her town.
The Ghost in the Town is a haunting story of love, mystery, and sacrifice-a tale where fantasy becomes reality, and the heart is asked to choose between what it wants and what is right.

My Haunted GirlFriend
This is a story about a man who falls in love with a beautiful yet mysterious woman who lives in a haunted house-a house long talked about by the townspeople because of the strange and unexplained happenings surrounding it. At first glance, it seems like a simple love story, but with every visit the man makes to the old house, the mystery deepens... and so does the fear. He doesn't know which is stronger-his heartbeat for the woman, or the pounding in his chest every time a shadow passes by, voices echo without a source, and secrets are screamed by the silence of the night. Can he endure the supernatural for the sake of love? He is timid, easily frightened, and quick to panic whenever he senses something unusual. But the woman is different-she seems to be hiding a secret, and despite his fear, he finds himself falling for her even more. In the end, what will prevail? LOVE OR FEAR? In a story where both the heart and soul are put to the test... are you ready to enter a house you're no longer sure you can ever leave?Complete
The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!
