During a zombie outbreak, Nova finds herself stuck with someone she never thought she would see again. She'd lived in refugee camps before... it never ended well. How could she trust that Cass would be different? How could she trust Ashridge Hollow to be different?
She awoke once more to the sound of hands clapping harshly together, "Get the fuck up," the voice said, irritation obvious in their voice.
Nova cracked an eye open, noticing the light seeping through the cracks of the tent's entrance. Sleep still evident in her face, she realised it was the same woman from yesterday.
Her voice hardened despite being sleepy, "Mind telling me where I am?" Nova demanded, her voice clipped but drenched in anger. Her wrists ached from being bound, the cuffs were tight on her wrists. Very tight.
The woman tapped her foot rhythmically against the plastic flooring, her arms crossed over her chest, "You're at our camp. Now get up." The tapping was driving Nova insane, nothing quite like a repetitive sound or motion. Like dripping water when you're trying to sleep.
She pulled at her restraints, "Well I fucking would, but in case you haven't noticed I am bound to this God damn bed." She yanked on the cuffs harder, just to prove a point. This made the woman sigh, before begrudgingly grabbing the keys and undoing the cuffs, her rough hand cupping around Nova's wrist like it was the easiest thing in the world, her fingers rubbing delicately over the marks adorning Nova's wrist before stepping back and letting go.

Resurrection of the Fallout - WLW
Short Preview: Her breath hitched as she looked up, her gaze finding Remi's face in the candlelight. The soft glow brushed against her cheekbones and lines of her scars. Nova's heart clenched, her throat tight as realization washed over her. Nova didn't see Remi as something small or distant. No, Remi felt infinite. Endless. She wasn't the moon in the sky. Or the stars. Remi was the whole damn galaxy. . . . In 2074, a catastrophic A.I. failure shattered the world. Cities crumbled, nations vanished, and what remained of the United States retreated beneath a single fortified Dome-humanity's last sanctuary. By 2242, life inside the Dome is rigid, monitored, and suffocating. Beyond its walls lies a mutated wasteland where nothing survives for long. Each year, twenty-five citizens are chosen and sent outside. None have ever returned. But this year, the Dome's perfect lies begin to crack. The Chosen are about to uncover a world far more dangerous-and far more alive-than they were ever allowed to believe. Out there, truth is poison, loyalty breaks easily, and love can become the most lethal weapon of all. Because once you step beyond the Dome, survival isn't guaranteed. And neither is who you become. . . . (This story contains a wlw/gxg/lesbian love story. It is a slow burn, but I promise that it's epic!) #1 under #wasteland 10/17/25Complete
Infected
"Cold metal was the first thing that I felt against my skin. Then came the sensation of being strapped down by my wrists and ankles. Why was I strapped down? My eyes blinked open slowly, in a daze. I saw men and women in surgical gear running around wildly. The blare of alarm pierced the fog around my mind and I saw emergency lights flashing. What was happening? I saw a woman, her brown eyes wild with fear, undo the straps on my wrists and legs. My head fell to the side and I witnessed one man pounce on the other, then a squirt of blood shoot high into the air as the first man bit into the others neck. I couldn't move without serious concentration, and even then, I could only move a little. I was helpless as I lay on this metal table. I knew that I was going to die. I was an easy target. I closed my eyes, waiting for the inevibility of the man to attack me. Nothing came though, and when I cracked my eyes open, I was alone in the room. What? Just then, I heard a loud bang and I saw a man with a gun burst through the door, an infected woman, the one who had just untied me, leaping at him. They fell into the table I was on, and the entire thing flipped. I was tossed onto the ground, landing hard. My head cracked against the concrete and everything went black, and the last sound I heard were the man's screams."Complete
Howl of Her Name - Book 1
Luna My pack didn't know me as anyone strong or special. I happened to be the girl that couldn't shift. Probably an omega in their eyes. The alpha noticed me.

I just didn't think I'd find her, much less be ready for her when she arrived. I rejected her. It was the only way not to tear myself apart. Day after day, I noticed she was tearing apart. Weaker. Tired. I didn't want to care. Not one bit until she confronted me. Inches apart from me. My mate was in front of me... I had to give it a chance. I tried and succeeded.

"However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?"

Ajax (Book 1 of the Reincarnation Series)
***Currently being edited and updated.*** I held onto my gun until all the blood in my hand had gone back into my arm.

Vines of Hunger
Death was once something I feared, an illusion that brought darkness with it, but now I plead for its mercy in this time that survivors have come to call, The New Order. ••• It was only a cough to began with, something so simple, it had happened a thousand times before, but with in a few days it was so much more then just a mere cough, it become lethal, and it spread like wildfire.

The river
Nova is nineteen, in love, and quietly unraveling. On the outside, she's starting a new chapter of her life: college, independence, and a small apartment she shares with Hazel - the girl who makes her feel seen, safe, and loved. But inside, Nova's mind is a violent tide. Manic highs swallow her in electric energy she can't control. Psychotic breaks pull her into shadowed corners of reality. And the constant, crushing weight of mental illness threatens to drag her under before she ever gets the chance to breathe. Haunted by memories she can't outrun and emotions she can't always trust, Nova tries to keep her footing in a world that often feels like it's moving without her. Therapy sessions chip at the walls she's built. Creative sparks give her brief moments of clarity and purpose. Hazel's gentle steadiness becomes an anchor she wants to hold onto - even when she fears she's too broken to deserve it. But recovery is not linear, and the currents of Nova's mind are unpredictable. Some days she feels unstoppable, full of light and possibility. Other days she sinks so deep she can barely remember the surface exists. As school pressures build, old wounds reopen, and the past begins to seep into the present, Nova must confront the truth she's been avoiding: healing is messy, survival is brutal, and loving someone while fighting your own mind is its own kind of battle. Raw, intimate, and profoundly emotional, The River is a modern coming-of-age story about navigating mental illness, queer love, trauma, and the quiet bravery it takes to keep choosing life - even on the days when it feels impossible. Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, this novel invites readers into the aching beauty of Nova's journey as she learns that even when the water rises, there is still strength in reaching for the shore.
