Abby and Josh, two teens who will find themselves on the frontline of an assault on Old Wachusett, have no idea what is about to attack their community. They better figure it out soon, because they are the keys to stopping an ancient, supernatural evil that will destroy anything and anyone that gets in its way of satisfying its thirst for revenge. All it has to do is unlock the magic of the Totem, thereby unleashing unspeakable horror upon the inhabitants of Old Wachusett. 

Kimi and Achak are teenage sister and brother. They’ve been alive for more than three hundred years. They’re Native American. They have supernatural powers. And they’ve found a way to travel back from the past to the land their tribe once possessed. One is a tool of the ancient evil seeking revenge. The other is in the way.

Four teenagers. Two cultures. One blizzard in 1978. And one quaint, unsuspecting city in Massachusetts whose destiny hangs in the balance, and whose fate will be determined by the actions of Kimi, Achak, Abby, and Josh. 

Scars (Book 1 pf Totem) is the first installment in a trilogy that will span one year in the fight for survival of Old Wachusett and its inhabitants, both present and past.

I'll post a new chapter every Saturday morning, so stay tuned!

“With rich events, a host of supporting characters, and plenty of drama, Totem succeeds in entertaining and engrossing mature teen (because of its moments of violence that range from disfigurement to suicide) through adult readers, and creates a lively adventure story with many vibrant moments.” D. Donovan, ebook reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“Totem is beautifully written and a joy to read.” Jack Magnus, Readers’ Favorite 

“C. Michael Lorion uses words like a maestro uses his orchestra, with expertly timed crescendos and those soft notes just before the ominous tones of danger.” Dii, Tome TenderAll Rights Reserved

Marks by Pabbs222

I am going to be making an entirely new book based on this same plot and similar characters... But I will not be a literal child when writing it. Hopefully it's much better lol. _________________________________ Book 1 of the Marks series! _________________________________ What if you fainted, and the place you left, the place you remember, is long gone? Instead you're stuck fighting for your life with the help of your classmates, who all remember everything. But you don't. Ava's twin is hiding something from her, and her best friend isn't the same person she remembers. Her school has been turned into some sort of military base and everyone is in uniform. She hasn't seen any adults, and half of her friends aren't around. What's going on? _____________________________ "I just want to know why. That's it. Why did all these people have to die? Why is it that people had to lose almost everyone they loved in one day? Why? It just doesn't- It isn't-" Dawson sank to his knees and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently. A sob left his lips, the agonizing sound pulling at my heartstrings. "Why is it that people change? That I'll never get to see..." His voice dragged away into the silent air. Everyone was long gone, having left after the ceremony. Dawson stayed where he was, silent tears running over his fingers and to the ground as his body shook with the force of his cries. ________ This book is based off of my friend Ava's dream.

Something more than normal teenagers struggles. It would have been easier to have everyday problems rather than these... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We have been running for an hour, there are many cuts all along my hand and I have broken one of my heels. I can't hear anything except my heart pounding in my ear. So I decreased my pace to calm my heart and to see if we are being followed anymore. I signaled for everyone to stop. " I don't think we are being followed anymore," I said. " I guess you are right," Jim said. There was a long cut across his chest and his shirt was soaked " Oh my God! Is that blood? Are you hurt?" I asked. "Nah, it's just a scratch, it's not even...." But his sentence was drowned by a gunshot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What I wouldn't have given for all of this to be a terrible nightmare. but, no one can change the fact that it's my life now.

𝓒𝓱𝓻𝔂𝓼𝓪𝓷𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓶𝓾𝓶 (𝚁𝟷𝟾 - 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢) by MiyukiJeishi

As we go through life, we meet people who deeply touch our hearts and change us in meaningful ways. They leave lasting marks on our souls, transforming who we are. The footprints they leave behind guide us towards growth, ensuring we can never retrace our steps to the person we once were. And then, there was him. We found each other at the precise moment when our souls were ready to collide. Love enveloped us, and in his arms, I discovered a deep sense of belonging. Everything felt right, as if the universe had conspired to bring us together. But life has a way of unraveling even the most beautiful stories. In a cruel twist of fate, the ground beneath us began to crumble. The very thing that had given us hope and joy now carried the weight of our lives, feelings, and emotions, threatening to snatch them all away. The perfect illusion shattered, leaving behind broken fragments of what once was. He is the one who taught me how to love. But as I stand here engulfed in his absence, I realize he forgot to teach me the most crucial lesson of all-how to let go. The pain of holding onto his memory is unbearable, yet I would endure it all, for it's a bittersweet reminder of the love we shared. I'd trade my everything for just one more moment with him, for even a fleeting moment holds more joy than a lifetime without knowing him. ❁❁❁ This is Book 3 of my Botanical Novel Series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone book.

The bodies he leaves behind are more than casualties-they're warnings. As Lucy spirals further into madness, her companions begin to splinter. Jace clings to hope but finds himself questioning if she can even be saved. Kassian watches helplessly, his loyalty eroding. Maisie burns brighter than ever, her laughter rising with the flames of the chaos she creates. Two broken souls collide.

When the final thread is cut, who will remain standing? And what will they become?
