Rain blurs the city. Shadows slip along the pavement.
On days like this, nothing walks alongside you quite the way it should.
By keeping things in the dark, you chase the ordinary, you stumble into questions you never meant to ask-about what lingers in the lamplight, what's missing when you look back, and why every answer feels just a little out of reach.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete

Everything and Nothing
There's a space between moments that most people never notice-the quiet gap between lightning and thunder, between inhale and exhale. That's where she lives, caught in the stillness while the world moves around her. She has all the right answers in class, smiles when expected, walks the familiar paths home. To everyone else, she's the quiet, brilliant girl who seems to have it all figured out. But inside her mind, questions spiral endlessly: *Am I real, or just reacting? Am I living, or simply watching myself move?* Between morning tea with her parents and afternoon races with Ren-her childhood friend who notices when she drifts too far away-she navigates the strange territory of existing while feeling like a stranger in her own life. Every ordinary moment becomes a puzzle piece in a picture she can't quite see, every silence heavy with thoughts she doesn't know how to voice. This is a story about the weight of consciousness, the beauty found in small moments, and the quiet courage it takes to keep questioning what it means to be real. Sometimes the most profound journeys happen not through grand adventures, but through the tender examination of a single heartbeat, a shared umbrella in the rain, or the way sunlight filters through classroom windows. What happens when you feel like you're always one step behind the rhythm of the world? What if the deepest mysteries aren't found in detective novels, but in the simple act of being awake? Perfect for readers who love introspective literary fiction, gentle slice-of-life narratives, and stories that find meaning in the spaces between words.

Each stop on the line takes her to a part of the city that feels like a dream made real-where memories can be bought, shadows whisper secrets, and forgotten gods ride in silence. Mara is pulled into a cryptic mission by the city's hidden architects, who claim the city is waking-and if it fully awakens, reality will tear apart.Complete
