When her parrot starts warning her about things no bird should know, Etta realizes her talkative pet may not just be mimicking voices; he may be orchestrating her fate.
Etta's African grey, Salt, has always been clever, but lately his words aren't just mimicry. They're warnings. Warnings about windows, strangers, and choices she hasn't made yet.
The more she tries to ignore him, the more her world begins to unravel: clocks reset, objects move, and her apartment hums with unseen energy. Salt insists he's plotting for her survival... but survival from what?
To escape the truth buried in his cryptic phrases, Etta must decide whether her feathered companion is protecting her or leading her into a trap she won't escape.

Love & Lust
------------------------------------------------------------ "Do you know how absolutely crazy I am about you? What the thought of another man doing what I do to you, does to me?" I slowly shake my head, my heart swallowing any words I could have. His eyes narrow with an intensity so deep I fear I'm at a loss for thoughts too. "Would you like me to enlighten you?" A smirk upon his lips and I know I'm done for. "Please." ------------------------------------------------------------ Belle Fawn is an innocent adult as innocent as can be these days. All she knows is books over boys as she craves love from her parents who push her hard to be successful. No matter if she wants it or not, which lands her at Grant Incorporate for an internship during her summer vacation from college. This is where she meets the all too attractive; Liam Black who is a demanding, sexual, love deprived soul. He's never had the best history when it comes to love. So he always settles for meaningless sex. Which ultimately lands him in a state of confusion when he finds himself maybe feeling a little more than lust for his new assistant. Will you follow Belle into a journey she might have never dreamed of living? Will you follow Liam into his lustful adventure after his new assistant? And will you stay for their crazy love and lust? As they go through love affairs, heart break, betrayal and maybe some cute puppy's? ------------------------------------------------------------ "They were an illusion and the dis was silent." - Love & Lust official quote.Complete

HYBRID OF THE FALLEN
Seraphina's world crumbled on her 18th birthday when her family's darkest secret was laid bare for the entire pack to see. Her mother had committed the ultimate sin-an affair with a Fallen, a tribe of fierce warriors with black wings, locked in a bitter feud with the werewolf kingdom. For that crime, her mother was burned at the stake, and Seraphina was cast aside by her father and sister, left to rot in the royal pack as nothing more than a slave. Her life became a cycle of pain, fear, and regret. Every night, she clung to the hope of her fated mate, the one person destined to love her. But when he appeared, he wasn't just anyone-he was the returning prince, the future king of the werewolves. And instead of saving her, he shattered her with rejection, disgusted by her tainted blood-half fallen, half wolf, an abomination. Broken, without a wolf, and branded a disgrace, Seraphina believed she had nothing left. Until the day she discovered the impossible truth-her second mate.

I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect.

Moon Bound/Blood Bound Duology
This is a rough first draft Part 1/Book One-ish currently not available and in the professional editing stage for publishing. Part 2 UPDATED WEEKLY for current readers He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: (new blurb coming soon) They are fated, but it's complicated. He would give anything to have her, except her life. She would give anything to have him, including her life.

#WhoIsLerosy ✔
COMPLETE! "It can't be real! There's no 500-year-old guy in a jester hat lurking just out of sight, waiting to abduct willing teenagers! We would have heard of him before now, right? #WhoIsLerosy" There was once an innocent time in our lives when we sang nursery rhymes in a circle, holding hands with friends, never realizing that one of those songs was a warning... On an anonymous forum site, one girl asks the question, "Who is Lerosy?" The discussion thread quickly veers off track when someone claiming to be Lerosy tells another girl with the same question that he's waiting outside her window. Amid the clamor of outrageous comments and trolls, a mystery begins to unravel until the group learns that the original poster has actually gone missing. Blending truth and mythology, impossible conspiracies abound and chilling confessions arise, as some of the forum users not only admit to knowing about Lerosy, but what he may have done to the girl. Powerless to escape from what they're reading, this idiotic mob of screen names, once bent on childish humor and verbal chaos, becomes involuntary witnesses to the unnerving details of a father's hunt for his daughter's fabled captor. Fitting into the 'found footage' realm of supernatural horror and suspense, and stylistically similar to TAP by Wattpad, #WhoIsLerosy turns forum sites, an ordinary venue from the digital age where many of us feel safe to visit on a daily basis, into the setting for a narrative thread that will make you afraid to use your phone in the dark. =================== :: #95 in Horror (Highest) :: Spoilers, overt negativity/hostility, and self-promotion will be deleted. :: MCliffordAuthor on Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat/Facebook :: Copyright 2015 by M.
