S1: Beginnings in Blissfield
In the small town of Blissfield, a dropped stack of books in a high school classroom sparks a love story no one sees coming.

Dear Diary
Dear Diary, I can't write to you as often anymore. There's a man here, he tells us we must be leaving our home. I don't want to go, but I don't have a choice. I believe this man. He tells us we are in grave danger. He won't tell us why, but I believe following him blindly is better than any future Hunter and I have here. We are not to talk any belongings with us, so I mustn't write to you often; only when Hunter and Xavier sleep. Our moments will be brief, but entirely worth it. We're traveling by foot across the land to the territory of our enemies. I'm frightened and I'm worried, but I know this will be good for us. I'd rather face the unknown than face the same day Hunter and I have lived ever since we arrived here. Do wish us luck, and don't fret over me. I will keep you in my heart and thoughts and I'll dance with you in my dreams. I love you, Diary. One day, we will be together. We're closer now than we ever were. Please be patient.

GHOST 👻 (A Paranormal Romance)
Frizzy haired and overweight, sixteen year old Elizabeth Summers hears ghosts. She also reads people's auras and sees when something bad is headed their way. Unfortunately, she can't choose which ghosts visit her psychic hotline or when her paranormal abilities are triggered. Since dealing with otherworldly spirits won't help her gain social acceptance in her high school, she hides her psychic gift. Reluctantly, Elizabeth starts exploring her psychic skills, and Dresden's paranormal activity when handsome Australian loner, Dylan Grant, asks her to help him find out what happened to his missing sister. As the summer heats up, Dylan begins to see Elizabeth in a different light than the overweight, psychic girl he corralled for her paranormal abilities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Excerpt from Ghost) "There's a spell on this book." Madame Regina frowns, her brow creasing in concern. "No, not a spell. It's a curse!" Alarmed, I feel the temperature of the room plunge as our breaths collectively plume into the frigid air. The unnatural cold feels as if someone's opened a large freezer door. I can't stop shivering. Madame Regina makes a strangled cry of distress, her voice growing urgent. "Demons are trying to come through. Whatever happens, don't break the circle." Dylan and Jerry look terrified as the delicate tea cup sitting by Jerry's hand starts rattling uncontrollably. Glancing down, I check to see if he's touching the china, but both of his hands are lying flat on the table. Everything's shaking as if we're in a seismic earthquake. "In the name of Christ, I exorcise you from this room!" Madame Regina shouts the command as the feet of the table rises two inches, then crashes back to the floor. Shaking pictures on the wall start rattling, adding to the mayhem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My beautiful new cover is by @SashaLeighS.
