The Shadows: Book 1
"What?" I said, shocked. It was too bad to be true. "You do. But you have to trust me," He said, holding out his hand. Fear took me away, and like whenever I was in trouble, everything around me turned dark and hazy. I was fine though, I moved around and hid, even though I was a Shadow. ********************************** Taylor Stephens was an abnormal, shy girl. She loved to hide in the shadows, her best friend. She never was in contact with other people her age because they didn't understand her...Condition. Her mother and father never confronted her or anything. They left her alone like everyone else. Then, one day, Taylor is confronted by a boy who wants to help her. But, she has never told anyone her talent, nor ever mentioned it. He claims to help her, but the only thing she can do is hide with her friends, shadows.Complete

Mirror Castle
Those without names or purposes are lost. Those who are lost drift through life. Those lost have a chance to be found. A chance a few get and those who do get that chance must survive or die as a lost one. Hello! I'm the author, and I have decided to completely rewrite this story, it'll pretty much be the same, but hopefully better. I've been practicing my writing skills, and I love this story and feel like I can make it better this time. It will take me a bit to get the storyboard rewritten, but as soon as I am on the roll, I will revamp all the chapters. :)Complete
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete

Until then, he is released into the custody of his godfather Adam, a high-profile lawyer who has believed in River's innocence from the beginning. Amber is not so sure. To her mother, who is River's godmother, he is a danger that should never have been allowed back into their lives. To her father, River is a broken boy failed by the system. To Amber... he is the ghost of her childhood. The friend she once loved. And the stranger she no longer understands. River returns colder, unreadable, and beautiful in a way that makes Amber's heart ache with something she wished she had outgrown. But behind his quiet stare lies something darker - a truth he has kept locked inside since the night everything changed. Everyone wants to know what happened. Everyone wants answers. But only River knows the truth. And the closer Amber gets to him, the more she wonders if some secrets are better left buried.
