See You in Hawaii
Stacey has lost everything: her job, her stability, and seemingly, control over her own life. In a moment of desperation, she makes a spontaneous decision-buys a ticket for the first available flight and, without looking back, sets off into the unknown. It's only once she's on the plane that she discovers her new destination: the sunny shores of Hawaii. Leaving everything behind without a word of explanation, Stacey hopes to find peace. But instead, fate has other plans: a bold and infuriatingly attractive brunette who seems determined to get under her skin, and new friends who slowly teach her to trust life again. This unplanned journey becomes Stacey's chance to start over, rediscover herself, and realize that true happiness often waits in the most unexpected places.
Second Week Of December
Is love in the stars? in the air? or, in the cards? Can we find ourselves during a long walk on the beach? a short walk on a pier? or, a quick bike ride into town? Would destiny call through the reeds? as a bellowing horn? or, as a barking dog? Do you believe in fate? destiny? or, the after-life? These are questions that thirty-one year old Janie wasn't even considering, she didn't need to. She was a good girl, she followed the rules. Her life had direction, she was on the right track, or so she thought, until last December when her comfortable little world unraveled. Comfortably married for a few years to her college sweetheart, steady job, great dog, nice apartment. While she and Tom's marriage wasn't a Hollywood romance, she was confident that eventually, in time, and with some effort, there would be a house and children. It's that time of year, the height of the holiday season, the second week of December to be exact. Too much seasonal hype Janie always thought, holiday decorations in full force, parties galore, so much good cheer. Last year, at Janie's company's annual holiday function, there was plenty of food, way too much alcohol and an overabundance of Joy -- everything changed after that party as her personal life became the popular topic at the office water-cooler. With the holiday season rapidly approaching, again, Janie finds herself surrounded by the usual merriment, but she is sad and alone. Her husband's infidelity has forced her to face re-inventing herself as her dream-life crumbled. Not only was she subjected to stares and whispers at work, but she was forced into a new space socially, and residentially. Most recently the death of her long-time canine companion, Maggie, has been the icing on her 'emotional' cake. Now she must rebuild her life, alone. With no plan, direction or hope she feels lost in the dark until a random stranger offers more than just 'a light.' Join her on a magical tale of love, loss and personal discovery.Complete

Simple Love
This is a multi POV story that will focus on characters I have made as they grow and change together. There is going to be no particular ending likely because it follows people through their life in the world I am creating. This story will have backstories and side stories that will tie into it. These will be in different story formats possibly and definitely focusing on multiple different characters. There will be crossover stories and episodes. I will give authors notes as top when to read what. Starting out our main characters are Mira (female-entrepreneur-dog trainer-late twenties-brunette-soft souled), Charlie (male-romantic at heart-mid twenties-figuring out himself-blonde-jokester), and Manda (female-author-self sufficient-realist-chaotic best friend energy). There will be other main characters to follow later in this story and in the other stories. They will NOT be described here when they are added as to not change the first look at the story for new readers. Any side characters will also NOT be described here as they are not as important to the main story. The story starts out as- Charlie is trying to find a new job. He interviews at a dog training facility (called BlueRidge K9s) and gets the job. He, however, starts to fall in love with his new boss, Mira. He struggles with his past and sharing it with those who care. Mira tells herself not to fall in love with her new employee but slowly starts to let her guard down around him as they interact and have chemistry. She also works hard as an owner and manager of her dog training company to help all the dogs and people that come her way. Manda is struggling to find herself as two life altering events happen. She surrounds herself with her best friend's possible blooming love life as much as possible.

Now they're stuck in the gray space between almost and never. Vera thought turning 18 would mean something. freedom, clarity, maybe even love. But when Erik, her so-called "18th," rejects her after years of unspoken feelings and quiet yearning, she's forced to confront a truth more painful than heartbreak: some people are never really yours, no matter how much you wish they were. In a world of shared glances, missed chances, and aching silence, Vera tries to rewrite her story-from charity trips to city lights, awkward hotel rooms to new campus cafés. And just when she thinks she's moved on, life throws her back into Erik's orbit. Because the past has a way of showing up-especially when you're not ready. 𝘖𝘕𝘎𝘖𝘐𝘕𝘎
