Out of sight out of mind?
That's always been true, unless you know what's out of your "sight" then it will never be out of mind again.
The Callery family, all born with what some would call a gift, the gift of "sight". Mystical beings live all around the world right in front of humanity's nose. Some may be good, some may be bad, but humans have never been able to see them, they are the only creatures who can't see the mystics other than those humans who are gifted with the sight. The Callery family were born with the gift, and curse, of being able to see mystical creatures, even while glamored or invisible to the human eye. They see the world as no normal human has seen it, and have to keep quiet about it like the other generations of their family have. Following guide lines that have been passed down since the mystics first became glamoured, they have never let out their secret.
Until now.

Finding Finn Reed
I've seen the same man die over a thousand times. I've memorized the exact time, and the exact way he dies. There hadn't been a single moment where I wanted to give up, where I decided to just quit. Regardless of how many times I failed, I found him in unparalleled ways. The phenomenon I called Time Hopping all began when Finn Reed died. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melanie Abner has to watch her best friend Finn Reed die countless times in an attempt to save him with her new found ability of Time Hopping. She meets Atticus, another Time Hopper who explains to her everything about her ability, and the truth behind Melanie's past. As convincing as Atticus sounds, Melanie can't seem to accept certainty of Finn's death. As time seems to pass by however, she realizes that sometimes it's best to accept the things you cannot change, and move forward with the things you can. (DISCLAIMER: This is the first book I've written, so it's somewhat of a practice. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!)Complete
The Revelation
In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.Complete

She never loved him back, never even noticed his pain. But when Malik makes the ultimate sacrifice to erase humanity's greatest sin, the world finally sees him-just as he begins to disappear forever. For the first time, they remember. But is it too late to save the man who spent his life saving everyone else?Complete

Hey, this is for the drafts of my, as of yet unnamed, novelette.

A Witch Fit to be a Queen- {COMPLETED} A Paranormal Novel (Book 1 of 3)
***Now featured on Wattpad Multicultural Vampire Werewolf & Paranormal Reading List*** Magic grew in the wombs of women. This had been suspected for quite some time, since how can a being create another being? It was magical. After occult beings along with other oppressed groups earned their freedom from a General who became a Queen, their Matriarch, let this be known: In the image of the Goddess they were made. Women were the creators of creation and pure power flowed through their veins. But not all believed this concept and stuck to their old ways. They became known as Mundanes. Those whose eyes opened and embraced their birthright became witches, fairies, nymphs, and mermaids. But this is not a story about these magical creatures. Not at all, is a story about a young girl on the brisk of adulthood, with hardly any magic at all, who defied everyone and became Queen.
