In a realm where time stretches beyond the limits of understanding, Death is a patient, unseen force. Bound by an eternal duty, they collect souls and mark the end of lives; silent, unflinching, and alone. But when Death encounters a soul unlike any other, calm in the face of mortality and untouched by fear, a shift occurs.
As they follow this soul through the fleeting moments of life, Death begins to question their own existence, their purpose, and the meaning of change. The sands of time, once steady and predictable, now tremble with uncertainty, drawing Death toward a transformation they never expected.
The Hourglass Guardian is a poignant exploration of life's impermanence, the quiet power of change, and the unexpected role one soul can play in shifting the very fabric of existence.

Finding Finn Reed
I've seen the same man die over a thousand times. I've memorized the exact time, and the exact way he dies. There hadn't been a single moment where I wanted to give up, where I decided to just quit. Regardless of how many times I failed, I found him in unparalleled ways. The phenomenon I called Time Hopping all began when Finn Reed died. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melanie Abner has to watch her best friend Finn Reed die countless times in an attempt to save him with her new found ability of Time Hopping. She meets Atticus, another Time Hopper who explains to her everything about her ability, and the truth behind Melanie's past. As convincing as Atticus sounds, Melanie can't seem to accept certainty of Finn's death. As time seems to pass by however, she realizes that sometimes it's best to accept the things you cannot change, and move forward with the things you can. (DISCLAIMER: This is the first book I've written, so it's somewhat of a practice. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!)Complete

Mobius' Code
What can you say about a girl who was supposed to die tragically young? That her guardian angel got distracted while writing her life code and inadvertently sent her into an infinite loop, a quantum uncertainty of sorts, packed with bonus features. This sort of stuff can create minor issues for the rest of Creation, issues which, of course, need to be ironed out, but there is nothing that can't be fixed with good team spirit and a can do attitude, especially if you're not unreasonably inflexible about the laws of physics. Don't worry about breaking reality, you can always make yourself a new one, or several, and improve the energy efficiency of the electromagnetic spectrum in the process. Still in beta testing.Complete
