Cyrus Moore was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old stuck in the endless cycle of classes, dull conversations, and the growing feeling that life had nothing more to offer. Bored with the monotony of everyday existence, he never imagined that a random accident would one day change everything. But when he's struck by a car and somehow survives, he awakens to a reality far stranger than anything he could have ever imagined.
After the accident, Cyrus discovers that he's changed. Mysterious powers begin to emerge, reality starts to crack at the edges, and he is thrust into a hidden world where magic exists beneath the surface of modern life. As secrets unravel, he learns that monsters, mystical forces, and powerful organizations have been hiding in plain sight all along.
Caught between the ordinary world and the magical one, Cyrus joins a group of others who are just as gifted, confused, and overwhelmed as he is. Together, they must navigate deadly threats, uncover dangerous truths, and survive in a world where fantasy is not only real but far more perilous than anyone could imagine.
The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same.

"Who's there," I can't breath. I'm always looking over my shoulder ever since- I can't think about the now. I have to run but where, back to Jake? No I can't, everything is different now. He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!" I reach out to touch him only for him to be yanked just out of my reach. I hear the wolves in the distance howling at the beautiful moon. I need his touch again. I need to know I'm safe. The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods.

Cosmic Sentinel: a SCANT few
Abducted. Modified. Trapped aboard a dying alien ship. And he's the only one who can fly it. Cyrus finally worked up the nerve to leave his apartment... only to wake up light-years from Earth, on an ancient, half-dead starship filled with foul-mouthed Goblins who are just as confused-and just as kidnapped-as he is. The ship, known as the Cosmic Sentinel, has been dormant for thousands of years. Its systems are failing. Its original crew is long gone. And in a desperate bid to survive, it floods its new passengers with the SCANT-microscopic nanites that heal, enhance, and in Cyrus's case... change everything. He doesn't just communicate with the ship-he begins to merge with it. As alien threats gather and the clock ticks down, Cyrus is thrust into the role of reluctant pilot. But flying the ship means surrendering more of himself each time. And survival? That's not just about fixing engines-it's about earning trust, making impossible choices, and building a crew out of chaos. Can a human afraid to leave home become the heart of a starship? Can a pack of misfits become something more than passengers? Fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, and Dungeon Crawler Carl will love this fast-paced, emotional sci-fi epic packed with sharp banter, big ideas, and unforgettable characters. Book One of the Cosmic Sentinel series.Complete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

Sometimes I'll rewrite or add a few things to make the book more interesting.
