Seren Sage never thought she'd be the one on the news - the missing girl no one saw coming. One minute she was walking home from school, and the next, she was shoved into the trunk of a black car, blindfolded, tied up, and forgotten by the world. The kind of story people scroll past... unless it's their daughter.
But Seren refuses to disappear quietly.
In a place where girls go missing and never come back, Seren begins to fight - not just for freedom, but for her voice, her sanity, and her future. Her faith gets tested. Her trust shattered. And still, she holds on. Through blood, fear, and silence, she digs into the deepest parts of herself and finds the girl she was never taught to be: brave, bold, and unstoppable.
When an unexpected connection sparks between her and someone she never saw coming, Seren learns that even in darkness, there's room for softness. For healing. For love.
Shadow in the Silence is a gripping urban coming-of-age story about a girl who was stolen, silenced, and underestimated - and how she rises, not just to survive, but to love, lead, and live louder than ever before.

The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Complete

Raven's voice barked on the other end. "I-I don't know," Shy whispered, her voice barely audible. She stared out the window, straining to catch anything familiar. "I think I'm going the wrong way..." "What you mean you think?!" Raven snapped. "He-he's not-he's not going the right way." The panic in Raven's voice cracked through the phone. "Hell no. I'm calling the police. Stay on the phone, you hear me? Shy? Stay-" The car screeched to a stop. ---------------------------- It was just a ride home. One click on the Uber app and eighteen-year-old, exotic dancer, Shyanne Dudley thought she'd be back in her room in no time. But she never made it home. What started as an ordinary night at the club spiraled into a nightmare when the man behind the wheel wasn't what she expected. Stolen from the safety of the place she grew to love, Shyanne is thrust into a world of shadows where every locked door and whispered threat pushes her closer to the edge.

But the deeper she sinks into this twisted new reality, the more it starts to feel... familiar. Routine. Safe. Loved, even-if love can exist in the hands of a monster.

Sage (Completed)
"Woah, slow down. What?" I heard him say and I furrowed my eyebrows, looking up. "Ma.." He trailed off and I already knew it was his mother. "That has nothing to do with you." He said and I sat up because I could hear him getting angry. "What's wrong?" I asked him and he put his phone on speaker. "I can't believe you got that little.." She trailed off, too angry to even get her words out. "..whore pregnant, Sage." "And then the little slut gets an abortion, I hope she knows that she will rot in hell." She said and my heart dropped. He hung up the phone on her before she could say anything else. "Baby." He looked at me as I bit my lip, standing to my feet. "Olive." He stood to his feet as well. I quickly walked to the bathroom and closed the door behind me before Sage could catch me. I broke down crying as he stood on the other side of the door. "Babygirl, I love you." "I love you too." I told him, breathing heavily. "Don't cry, love. Nothing she says matters, she's just mad because I love you so much and there's nothing she can say to change that." "Open the door for me please?" I wiped my face before I slowly opened the door for him. "I'm done with her." He said, shaking his head. He pulled me to him, wrapping his arms around my waist as he shoved his head into my neck. "Until she can learn to respect you as my lady, she's out of our life."Complete
Once Upon a Time: Shadows of Belief (Book 2)
Six months have passed since the Shadow was defeated and Storybrooke was restored. Families are whole again, long-lost heroes have returned, and for the first time in years, hope feels possible. But beneath the surface of happy endings lies a deeper truth: belief has consequences. The magic that resurrected Robin Hood and reunited loved ones also shattered the balance of the realms. Untold stories bleed into reality, twisting familiar faces into dark reflections. And in the silence of the woods, a new Dark One rises Peter Pan, reborn with powers beyond anything Rumplestiltskin ever wielded. As Henry, Regina, Emma, and their family struggle to protect the fragile peace, the next generation Lucy, Robyn, Alice, Clara, Jin, and Leo must face a terrifying truth: every story set free creates ripples, and some tales were never meant to be told. And standing between light and darkness is Eve an alternate version of Regina, born from the balance of the stories themselves. Is she the key to saving the realms... or a reminder that some echoes of the past carry shadows of their own? With allies divided and villains returning in unexpected forms, the heroes will learn that shadows don't simply vanish when the light shines they grow deeper. And this time, the battle is not for a single town, but for the very heart of storytelling itself. Every ending is a beginning. Every belief has a price. And the darkest story is still waiting to be written.
The Demon's Promise
Left on a lonely beach as a child, Seren was found by a kind couple and raised in a quiet coastal village - but the sea never forgot her, and neither did the darkness that brought her there.

When tragedy strikes and Seren falls into a coma, she awakens in a world between life and death... and comes face-to-face with the truth: her mother is no human. She is a demon - ancient, furious, and ready to reclaim what she made. Seren escapes back to her world believing her mother's lies of love and redemption. But as the years pass, the sky begins to fracture, the oceans burn, and the truth surfaces - her mother is the one ending everything. Now, with her powers spiraling out of control and the world collapsing around her, Seren must face the woman who gave her life... and may be forced to take it away.Complete
