Welcome to Sterling Heights. Graduation is optional. Survival is not.
Sterling Heights was meant to be an honour.
A high-stakes psychological mystery set inside a closed-system death game, driven by character psychology and strategic survival. Dark comedy and slow-burn romance spread throughout.
An elite institution for the exceptional. A place where talent was cultivated, futures secured, and brilliance rewarded.
The odd thing is, no one remembers arriving.
For Siyun Chen, it should have been another step towards greatness, alongside her life-long friend, Aisling Marlowe.
They wake trapped within locked halls and pristine corridors, overseen by Vestra, a charismatic and unnervingly gleeful headmaster who offers only one rule:
Kill, and you may escape.
What follows is a calculated descent into paranoia.
As students begin to die and trials force the survivors to accuse one another, trust fractures under the weight of fear. Schemes form in whispers. Alibis are crafted and dismantled. Friendships strain, loyalties shift, and the line between protection and betrayal blurs beyond recognition.
Behind the scenes, a secret escape plan begins to take shape; dangerous, meticulous, and built on half-truths and silence. Not everyone is told. Not everyone is trusted. And not everyone is who they seem.
Surrounded by formidable talents: Felix Grantham, Max Buchanan, Eira Serrano, Jiro Masada, Jamie Hall, Tamsin Bramwell, Gabriel Winslow, Lydia Whitecome, and many more- artists, academics and athletes alike, the question becomes less about who will kill and more about who can live with what they've done.
Inspired heavily by Danganronpa

Will of the Woods
The past five years of Emmaline's life have been dominated by two things; studying endangered species of moths for her master's thesis, and dodging a dark and terrifying stalker that always seems to be able to find her, no matter where she goes. She knows one day her luck will run out, and he'll escalate to things she doesn't want to imagine. He's already pushed past boundaries she never dreamed anyone would. Emmaline isn't exactly trying her hardest to escape him, either. Maybe that's why he was able to break in so easily and abduct her. He takes her to a house deep within the woods of West Virginia, and tells her he'll never let her go-until she never wants to leave. There's deeper secrets lurking in the woods just beyond the giant glass panes in the living room, besides her mysterious and dangerous captor. And the dreams Emmaline keeps having encourage her to explore the inexplicable connection she has to this place that started long before Will began to stalk her.

Flash fictions, contest entries and stuff! Here are my entries for various writing challenges, contests and prompts, plus random writings. There's poetry, flash fiction and more!
Perception (Apparition Investigations #1)
Ghostbusters meets X-Men in a creepy urban fantasy adventure! "A pocket watch. She bought a pocket watch and it killed her. And I thought how we died was bad." As far as apartments go, roommates Stella and Charlotte "Bronte" believe theirs to be just fine. Sure, they hate taking the stairs up to the third floor, especially after grocery shopping. And yes, the apartment staff could be a bit nicer. But all things considered, it's not a bad place to live. Until the sudden chills begin, seizing them at inexplicable times. Until Bronte starts to see shadows out of the corner of her eye and Stella begins to hear voices too close, sighs too near to be the culprit of paper-thin walls. Century-old ghosts Oliver and Cyril have seen what happens to mortals forced, unknowingly, to spend time in their company. For the unlucky few, their perceptions change, allowing them to perceive the departed. And not everyone, they know, are strong enough to handle living with the dead. Determined to save Stella and Bronte from the fate that befell their last haunting, Oliver and Cyril must find a way to prevent their perceptions from deepening. But when the two ghosts encounter a dark creature unlike any they've seen before, they might have to rethink their plan. The two girls might be the key to saving their afterlives. Not to mention themselves.Concluida
What's Up? (What I'm working on, updates, and other odds and ends)
Welcome to my planning arena. This is where you can easily find out what I'm working on, if I have any big updates, as well as some other information. This is likely going to be mostly a place for me to let my readers know what I am working on. PS. If you archive a book in your personal library, it reappears in your library if a new chapter is updated. An excellent way to tell if a book is updated.
Flash Gold (a steampunk adventure set in the Yukon)
Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered "dogless sled" in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father's alchemical masterpiece. With her modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn't normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won't assist her--they're too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled. When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she's sure he has ulterior motives, but he's the only one interested in helping her. The question is...why? Flash Gold is the first in a series of steampunk novellas.Concluida
Twitch and Die!
The Company mining town of Thurber, Texas has fallen off the map. Some want to keep it that way. Others seek the truth. But its plague-infected residents have a mind of their own. "Forget emergency landing procedures. When reading Twitch and Die! all one can do is hold on for dear life." "Disguised as double-fisted pulp fiction, the Lost DMB Files resurrect a forgotten history. The life's work of author David Mark Brown, mysteriously disappeared in the 1930's, has only recently taken on new life surrounding the controversy that these "Lost" files are more than mere fiction. Let the reader decide for her or himself." ~ Professor Jim Buckner, Dept. Geology University of Texicas, Austin Two populist Texan folk-heros, Chancho Villarreal and James Starr, embark on a mission of political endorsement, but what they find is a hill country rife with fear and rumor. A so-called Angel of Death is executing individuals infected by a terrible plague, and the company mining town at the epicenter has gone dark. It's up to Chancho to navigate a world of shifting allegiances while uncovering the truth about a plague and its infected who refuse to die quietly. "If there was a top to be over, Twitch and Die! removed it completely, and with electrifying results."Concluida
