In the black heart of the New Mexico desert, some things aren't meant to be hauled.
Trent Wilson makes his living behind the wheel of a battered '90 Peterbilt, running quiet government loads through the Southwest. No questions asked. No cargo checked.
Until a midnight stop at Exit 39 - a lonely truck stop glowing in a sea of darkness - brings Maria into his life. Ripped jeans. Scuffed sneakers. Haunted eyes. And a warning in a language he doesn't understand.
When an unseen force tears open his trailer on the Arizona line, Trent catches a glimpse of what's inside... and wishes he hadn't. Blood-spattered wood. Medical files. Something sedated, then awake. And now it's loose.
Maria knows the word for what's hunting them Skinwalker. It wants her. And it will run them to the ends of the desert to get her.
Together, they'll cross the empty miles, through cedar groves that hum in the skull and canyons where pale shapes watch from the ridges. The government wants their lost cargo back. The Skinwalkers want blood. Trent and Maria just want to see the sun come up alive.
But in the Land of Enchantment, dawn doesn't always mean safety.

This book has been my pet project for years and I will not appreciate it if anyone trys stealing my work considering how I have all of the rough drafts written down on paper. I would be very angry in fact. Any drawings that might be shown will be mine. The book title came together with the help of my older brother who is quite good with titles while I am not great at figuring out book titles but am good at writing stories and chapter titles. The book title may be added on to in the future but only time will determine that. This is the first book of the series. Once again I would like to remind everyone the story is ALL MINE. To all my devoted readers it is my hope that all of you will enjoy my story.
The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Complete
Star Gift
What explosive discoveries were made by an eccentric desert collector who chose to hide his phenomenal secrets for over thirty years? Blake Henderson inherited more than just a key to a remote storage garage in Farmington, New Mexico. When his estranged and recluse father died, few useless belongings were handed down to him. But none were so mysterious as the contents of sealed wooden boxes and a series of intriguing notebooks-all seemingly forgotten and under lock and key for decades. The Pueblo Native Americans of Chaco Canyon, NM, had a massive and advanced civilization long before the Spanish invaded their ancestral lands in the 16th century. But why did these indigenous people inexplicably disappear? And How? What relationship did these and other Southwestern indigenous cultures have with the "star people" as they refer to them in their esoteric traditions? What event gave them cause to relocate from their advanced engineered living complexes on the desert floor to more safe dwellings under the monolithic cliffs at Mesa Verde in Colorado, out of sight from the heavens? And then vanish completely? Coming into the area from California on his Spring Break, Blake thought he would only be verifying his abandoned father's pointless absence from his life since birth. What he found following in the wake of his murder, threatened to shake what is known about our singular existence in the universe . . .Complete
Mark of the Wolf (mxm)
Alone. Naked. Cold. Covered in blood that is just as likely to be mine as someone else's. I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I'm running from. All I get are flashes, snippets of dark shadows, sneering faces. Pain always follows these nightmares, these memories. I was found, taken in, but I have no way of knowing if I only escaped the frying pan just to jump into the fire. I don't understand these people, these wolves. They don't understand me, either. Our words mean nothing to each other, they're no more than sounds. We use gestures, facial expressions, body language like the beasts we seem to be. I can only pray these beasts are not the same ones I'm running from. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

Mur'ring walked to the back of the cell and moved a cement block from the wall. He pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. "I was saving this for a special occasion, but given the situation I guess-" "Will you shut the fuck up and help him?!" Mur'ring poured the liquid on the wound. Ra'dok yelled. A guard smacked the door. "Shut the hell up in there!" Mur'ring wrapped some cloth around the wound and Ra'dok stopped bleeding. He let Ra'dok take a few sips of the liquid, which made him gag but sedated him. After a while we all fell asleep. I know it looks like this story is about Japan but it's not.
