A dying woman vows to leave her vast fortune to herself, to her reincarnation. "An intoxicatingly delicious inspirational read..." Review from Amazon.com. (23 out of 23 five star ratings)
Everyone knows that when you die you can’t take anything with you but if Faith McCormack had believed everything everybody told her then she would never have become one of the richest women on the planet. Lonely, bitter and suddenly faced with a fatal, incurable disease she makes a vow to take her fortune with her when she dies. Sadly, cryogenics leaves her cold but the possibility of leaving it all to herself, her next self, her reincarnation, sparks an obsession. Faith reasons that if the Tibetan Buddhists can find the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation 13 times, then surely, for the right price, they will agree to find hers once ...

Otome Game: I, The Heroine Will Be Your Savior! (GL)
A streamer who had thousands of fans in Japan, who loved otome games, reviews them posting online and making a living out of streaming. One day one of her fans sent her a very horrible rated otome game but since she was curious and it was her passion to rate every otome game that ever existed, she downloaded it and played it for the whole day. "What the heck?! All the love interests are horrible on this game?!" The production company who made the game, [Love Lily Blossom Otome Game]. Such a long name by the way, made all the love interest have some sort of distorted personality and even if the heroine does end up with one of them, she'll be either locked in the love interest's mansion, exiled, or will be the love interest's slave?! Only the villainess was the only sensible one but even she got the worst ending too for being engaged with the crown prince- and dying at every route she's on. "The author of this game is... psychotic. Why invest a Millions of Yen in a game like this? I wish I could save the Villainess myself." One day, she suddenly dies and realizes she's not in her own body anymore. She was being pinned down by the Villainess in the wall proceeding to threaten her. "If you don't leave the crown prince alone. I'll have no choice but to use other ways to shut you up." she says coldly, glaring at the cowering girl. Well that was the Villainess thought but the former streamer was just so confused and excited she couldn't help but shout- "I-I'm the Heroine of Love Lily Bloom?!" The Villainess looked at her weirdly once the Heroine was eyed leveled with her gaze. Those pupils dilated and seemed to have formed heart shapes irises. "You-! I'm going to save you!"

Life After Death (Book 1 of After Death Trilogy)
COMPLETED! First book of the After Death Trilogy. --------------------------- My life ended with a stupid fall. My afterlife began in a monster-infested realm called Injusto. --------------------------- I always thought Death would be peaceful. An end to the struggle, the pain, the quiet exhaustion of just existing. I was so wrong. I woke up in Injusto, a realm of lost souls and terrifying creatures, and learned that death wasn't an end, but a violent, chaotic second chance. Here, survival is a daily battle, and god-like Ethereals bestow cryptic blessings that feel more like burdens. My only plan was to not die a second, even more embarrassing, time. Then he appeared. Krin, a stoic Dragon-Lord from a secret, floating sanctuary. He saved me, offering a glimpse of something I thought was lost forever: hope. My second chance is turning into an epic quest I'm not ready for. And I'm not sure I'll ever be. ========== Copyright Copyright © 2025 by Claire Burns. All rights reserved.

CALLA
My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me... Now with this second chance of life, I won't chase after illusion. I won't rely on someone else for happiness. I will do what I want, enjoy what I do, and learn to let go.

Reincarnation
Reincarnation is a religious belief that, after a person dies, their souls are brought back to life. Maybe in another form, a different time, or a newly constructed life. Tracy Drake McColt always denied the realism of reality, she counted it as merely just another dream. She fancied fairy tales, with her unique definition of a fairy tale of course, since then again it wasn't any different from reality and dreams. They are all just a story that starts with once upon a time and ends with happily ever after. She is driven away by her disbelief in reality, her disgust with the imperfections in her life, and her fear for the lives of those she loves. But she wakes up to find an entry in her diary, one that starts and ends -ironically- her life.Complete
