There are things in this world that we, as humans, choose to turn a blind eye to in the interest of our own selfish desires. Things that can ultimately blacken your soul and corrupt you from the inside out as the City of Danville soon realizes. The city, once a shining example of beauty and perfection, giving way to become nothing more than a crime riddled cesspool. With the city approaching what very well could be the point of no return, an intervening hand steps in to give Danville one last shot at Redemption. But, the redemption that this helping hand offers isn't the kind that one would expect. Plans ultimately unfold and lives are destroyed as Danville is taken to its breaking point and converges on being torn apart by the very seams that held it so tightly together. Which offers up the city a question: How far is one truly willing to go to sacrifice it all for one last chance at Redemption?

Ailet x Terry [Part 1 Complete]
It's the era of Transmigration. I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love. No. 1 to be avoided! No. 1 in frustrating the reader! I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved. Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class. I became an extra. Ellet, the young daughter of a servant in the Count's manor. We are poor, but it's a happy life between a kind brother and a good father. I've got a best friend I've never made before because I was always busy. Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me. I'm living a life full of confidence. On top of that, I accidentally bought the 'After-Life Insurance' full package just before my death. I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot. Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work. "You wiped your face with your dirty hands." "......." "Don't be surprised. It's because I have an obligation to be kind." And then, there's the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid. 'Why is he being this crafty with me?' © Author

Human Status
I live in a world where I am nameless. I live in a world where I do not matter except or unless I am owned by someone. I do not have rights, freedoms, joys, wishes, or aspirations. I am property. I was born and raised to belong to someone that will one day take me away like the fairy tale stories that I listened to everyday in the house I live in. I prayed every night that a handsome prince would come and take me to live in his castle just like in the books. I prayed that I would be a princess and have a kingdom just like in the books. But I was never told that the books were all lies. I was never told the true reason why I was a well sought after commodity. I was never told that I am not the only one like me. When I found out it was too late to save myself. To think and in less than 4 days I will be taken away from my current home and be in a home of my own. I sat on the simple wooden bed hoping that my owner was nice and kind. I hated to think about some of the stories that I heard about the other girls like me. I hated thinking about being exterminated because I made my owner unhappy. I thought to myself that I would try real hard to keep him happy. I remember the covenant of rules that would keep me and my owner happy. I would need to follow five rules. 1. Always obey my owner. 2. Always be available to my owner. 3. Never talk back. 4. Always agree with my owner. 5. I am not human so I cannot do human things. I wondered how pretty human women were. I was so nervous about my departure I nearly refused to leave my room. I could leave if there wasn’t anything wrong with me physically. I remember the den mother telling me not to do anything that would cause a refund or else I would be exterminated upon refund. My new owner had thirty days to return me. If he returned me and no one else was interested I would be exterminated. I would be killed because it would be thought that I was defective and no one would want a defective product.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.

We're All Going To Die
In 2015, I quit my digital marketing job at Nike to take a solo road trip around the country, funded by driving for Lyft in each of the cities I stopped in. In the beginning, I thought that driving for Lyft was simply the key to supporting the trip financially. However, I soon found that the dynamic of having strangers jump into my car to talk about life for 20 minutes or so, under the context that we would probably never speak again, was the most powerful piece of my year off. I was so inspired by my passengers that I wrote a book about them, called We're All Going to Die: Lessons Learned From My Year Road Tripping As a Lyft Driver. My passengers became my biggest teachers in what, lo and behold, turned out to be a year of personal growth and self-discovery. I learned the value of more listening and less ego. I saw how hungry people are for real human connection and conversation in a world more digitally connected and emotionally isolated than ever. I took the time to face my own issues, including my father's suicide five years earlier. I began to understand how important it is to be human - to feel your emotions, to share those feelings with others, and to find lightness and humor in the hard stuff. What became most obvious to me was that at end of the day, we're all going to die anyway. This book is a story about my personal growth, supported by the stories of the many people who trusted me enough to jump into my car and open up their hearts to me.

Once Upon a Deadland
Who holds the pen that writes reality? When the robbery homicide unit of the Ringsville Police Department begins tracking a crew of amateur robbers who have unknowingly hit a supermarket owned by a powerful drug cartel, what begins as a street-level investigation unravels into a vast conspiracy buried deep in Blaqountee's foundations. The city does not merely hold secrets - it is built on them. As the threads of the case pull tighter, the detectives, the criminals, the cartel, and the ordinary residents of Ringsville are drawn into a collision whose stakes extend far beyond any single life: the very reality they inhabit is at risk. The first transgression in Blaqountee is not against a person - it is against existence itself. Blaqountee is populated by factions with irreconcilable beliefs about sanity, legitimacy, and what it means to exist - and caught between the certain and the equally certain are those who know nothing at all, whose ignorance makes them the most dangerous of all. What the city faces is not annihilation. It is something older and more patient: erasure. History rewritten. Physical laws negotiated. The architecture of being itself, edited by a hand no one can see.
