Reviews:
"This is publish-worthy, honestly! Can't wait to pick up a hard copy from barnes and Nobles one day! Amazing, as usual!" - That AuthorChick
"It's gripping, it's good. Not just "for an amateur good", it's just good, full stop. Or "period", as you Americans would say. Nobody I know could pull off a better couple of chapters than this. It's fast-paced and to the point. I like it." -thatthenrybloke
"Wow, you are an amazing writer! This story shouldn't be on a little website, it should be selling copies around the world, on NewYork times best seller's list! You're amazing!" -MissesHoran

Gifted and Talented
Take a private, expensive, exclusive, but definitely non-magical preparatory school in the wealthy hills of New Jersey. Add one teenage boy from a regular, free public high school in a working-class town, who happens to have an extraordinary memory; not only of his own life, but generations of his family before him. And did I mention his prophetic dreams? He meets a teenage girl with an even stranger condition; bad things happen to anyone who hurts her in any way, and she has no idea why. Then add in some rich bullies, a terrifying memory block, a long-dead magician who tended to dress strangely, Tarot cards, a Ouija board, a family curse, and the raising of a departed spirit who has a taste for Polish sausage. The result? Why, a love story, of course.Complete

"I can't do this anymore. You lie you cheat you do everything in your power to make me not trust you! I've just found out you were using me and for what? To what end? Huh?"

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
