Two years after the tragic death of trapeze artist Stella, the Goldfield Circus still performs beneath her shadow. The townspeople remember her as a star. But inside the tent, her name is a ghost-and no one dares speak of what really happened the night she fell.
When 22-year-old Maria arrives from Idaho, chasing a quiet hope and a fresh start, she's thrown into Stella's old role and paired with Ethan-Stella's former partner and the man who caught her every night... until he didn't. The crew watches Maria with silent eyes. A photograph appears in her dressing room-then disappears. And the more she trains, the more the secrets begin to unravel.
In a world where trust is everything and one mistake can mean death, Maria must walk the thin line between rising-and falling.

Freeze (The Jewel Project #4)
"I know your weakness. You want to be fair, you want to do right, you want to be the good guy. I could give you a depression you'd never crawl out of." Sometimes, no matter the turmoil in our lives, it's the seemingly irrelevant, simple, normal things that heighten our pulse and tighten our stomachs. Sam Grant has come to that conclusion over the last months because after all his adventures and near-death experiences, he's still stressed out about exams. But the ordinary morphs into the unexpected when Snitch Gravel decides to break their silent deal. Home is no longer safe and rules no longer apply. As Sam and Tom try to fix what has been broken in the delicate balance between their two lives, the rest of the group embarks on a new mission to dig out one more jewel before Snitch Gravel finds it. But with no leader and just a vague hint, it's turning out to be harder than expected as tension within the group bubbles to boiling point. But glory waits for no one.

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete

A slow-burn psychological mystery told through edits, erasures, and the silence between scenes. 📌 Copyright © 2025 Vignesh S. All rights reserved.Complete
