Sandra had never thought something like this would happen.
After all, she was living a pretty mundane life- touring with her band Open Your Eyes, and enjoying time with family as much as she could. You'd never expect she'd be the victim of a terrible accident...
Until the fateful night at the party.
When it happened, she was sure that she was dead. A goner. Lost. But that's not the case.
Instead, she got a second chance. Seven, in fact. Reliving her last day for a whole week, hopefully rewriting the past to create a better future.
Reader, if you got the chance, how would you change the past?
How would you save a life?

The Ghosts
My mother always told me when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When someone knocks you down, you get right back up. You fight the good fight until you have nothing left. You fight with honor, you protect the ones you love, and if you just happen to die in the process, than you do so with dignity and grace. What my mother neglected to tell me during my studies was that you don't always get what you want, the outcome you think is coming doesn't always happen, and when the smoke clears, you're always going to be the last one standing. By the end of The Certainty, Georgiana Vertigo is left with nothing more than her life, something many people would be more than happy to have. However, Georgiana is left to her own devices in a strange city, alone and heartbroken with regular intense bouts of depression. In starting a new life with the Guild, Georgiana has everything she needs in order to move on with her life and keep her mind off the past. Only problem is, the past is never truly forgotten and no matter how hard you try to shake them, the feelings that go along with the memories don't just fade away. ~ * ~ Alright, chickens. You asked for it (some of you at least) and here it is...well...part of it. Like I've told a few of you, this is a work in progress. I add pieces to it when I think of them. The posting on this story will NOT be regular but thankfully for you, I have quite a bit of it done. I just haven't decided if the path I take it down is the right one. So. I hope you enjoy it and I will give you a forewarning that as the story progresses, it gets a bit more adult. For those of us just joining the party because they stumbled across it in the Paranormal category, there is a whole series of books you have to read until you get to this one. Go start with The Beginning. You can find it under "My Works" on my home page.Complete

A Touch of Scarlet
We're brought into this world to live; eat, learn, sleep, repeat, repeat, and repeat again. Until eventually the time comes when we die. Or at least that's how it's supposed to work right? For some reason I don't think it's working out that way for me. • • • "Thick eyelashes frame deep blue eyes, freckles sprinkle across his pale cheekbones. His thick, tousled-white hair falls messily over part of his right eye. A blush starts to creep into my cheeks the longer I stare but I can't look away-- his features are so unflawed that they seem to resemble some sort of marble-like stone. It's almost as if he's not human at all." • • • Lydia Ames's second last year in high school starts off with an accident where she looses the only family member she has left. As if that's not the worst part already, she also has a permanent reminder of the day's events. However when she meets a certain boy and his friends her whole world changes completely. The question is did it change for the better? Or will it end in the loss of everything and everyone she has left? *This version of A Touch of Scarlet is a first draft = grammar is painfully incorrect* #1 in Vampire: September-November 2015Complete

Spin off book is "There is no forever" based on Sara and Abhram ∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆ 1. Umm, I personally felt that love progress in the book was bit fast. 2. The book is a rollercoaster ride, and at some chapter you will find male character too good or too bad. 3. The female character is kind of stubborn but forgiving and kind. 4. There is mature scenes in book, so If you are below 18 or uncomfortable with the adult content, do not bother to go ahead. 5. The book doesn't revolve around lead characters only, I have tried to involve each and every character of this book till a certain limit. 6. May be few things frustrate you or make you angry, But I request you all to be polite and think before you make any comment because being a person I have feelings that get hurt easily and I am kind off bitchy person so I retort back rudely, so please place your opinion politely, if you feel that there is too much drama and all just quit reading, do not bother to leave violent and harsh comments. 7. Okay with all this? Go ahead,Complete
