Professor Alistair Finch was drowning in mundane academia - until a single, impossible proposal landed on his desk.
"Communicating with the Other Side."
Driven by a reckless student, Kai Sato, and his claim of cracking quantum superposition to reach parallel universes, Finch does the unthinkable: he gambles his reputation to give Kai access to Hawthorne College's most advanced equipment.
Together, the weary professor and the brilliant outsider achieve the extraordinary: they establish contact.
But piercing the veil between worlds is just the beginning. What pours through the connection they forge shatters everything they thought they knew. The Other Side isn't silent. It's listening. And it has plans of its own.
Now, Finch and Kai must navigate the terrifying consequences of opening a door that cannot be closed. What awaits in the static between worlds?

Shards of Kairos
'There's something beyond the mirrors...' She should probably be choosing her majors for college, considering a career, and the direction for the rest of her life. Instead - she's still working at the small town coffee shop where she got her first job. And while commuting from a bigger city to the much smaller town of Briarsfield where she grew up is a pain, Evie likes the stability. The normalcy. Because the dreams or nightmares that Evie had started having a little over a year ago now are anything but normal. Dreams of an endless void of fog. They've persisted and refused to leave her alone now for months. And Evie is haunted by the chilling feeling that she is not alone in the fog. But when the fog suddenly becomes real, weather completely uncommon for Briarsfield at this time of year, Evie wakes up to a sensation of dread. And that something is very different. And very wrong. That something has changed and she's been suddenly put at the epicenter. At the precipice of something life altering. Or world ending.Complete
Butterflies of the Dark Star
Beautiful cover by @deathinreverie (MATURE THEMES WITHIN. PROCEED WITH CAUTION) "It has been said that something as small as a butterfly's wings beating can ultimately cause a typhoon." Nova Spacyn and Neo Teimea, two students straight out from school find themselves in the midst of a galactic conspiracy, where the Ushavex Nebula, a wall around their galaxy, keeps them from discovering the truth. In a society built upon the foundations of the questions unanswered, Neo Teimea seeks to find the single truth - everything about the disappearance of the famous D.S Butterfly, a space station with a population in the thousands when they went to research the nebula. With their own sense of accomplishment in hand, they dock onto the B.H Supernova to chase the last signal of the D.S Butterfly, and come across the sea of stars - and something else. With the broken piece of the wings of time choking their necks, Nova can't seem to find a way to save Neo while the clock strikes once. Over and over again.
Deeper
In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.

Paradox - Lost in Time
In a world on the brink of collapse, a deadly mutation of the Zika virus, labelled H1T1, begins to claim lives with a speed not seen since the Black Death swept through Europe. Desperate to stop the outbreak, a group of young scientists successfully constructs a time machine, hoping to venture into the future to retrieve a cure and bring it back to their present. Fully aware of the risks, they push the machine beyond its limits and find themselves partially stranded in a dystopian future. In this grim reality, the virus has wiped out three-quarters of the global population, dismantling society as we know it. The remnants of humanity now inhabit fractured cities, controlled by brutal armed factions and authoritarian regimes. Trapped in this hostile world, the group must navigate a landscape of violence and despair while confronting their own futures and counterparts from this timeline. The mistakes of the past resurface: rivalries, betrayals, and the devastating losses that tore them apart-murder, madness, and the inescapable brutality of a world drained of hope. In their fight to survive and find the cure, they face not only the dangers of this future but also the haunting reality of what they might become.Complete

Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete
