Aberforth is an unremarkable city. Three artists are about to change that.
Keosha, Kieron, and Ian dream of making a name for themselves in a new, perhaps illegal way. By combining their graphic and filmmaking talents, they set out to bring their art to Aberforth and the world even as they battle their own demons.
Each has a unique skill, yet all three are bound with a common purpose. As their passions, insecurities, and crafts lead them to one another, they aim to make a difference. Armed with a paintbrush, camera, and tattoo needle, they want to prove what "art" truly means. But will their youthful passion change how people view art, or will their art change them in the process? For the trio, art is stronger than fear...but will it prove stronger than love?

Life's Unexpected Turn
When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse. Moving to a new city offers her a chance to breathe again, to rediscover who she is beyond the scars she carries. Bailey Adams is a kindhearted college student who once believed she had the perfect life. But the woman she fell in love with has slowly become someone cruel and dangerous. Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be. When Parker and Bailey's lives unexpectedly cross, neither of them are ready to trust again. Both carry wounds that run deeper than anyone can see, and both fear that happiness may simply be something meant for other people. Yet sometimes healing begins in the most unexpected ways. The question is whether these two broken souls will find the strength to face their pasts and open their hearts... or if the damage done to them will keep them apart forever. _____________________________________________ Please note that the imagery used in my chapters are not 100% mine.

Switched
In which bodies are switched, magic is apparently real and three people fall in love. ------------------- "Okay," Mark said once Ian was calm again. "So what happened?" "I'm a girl," Ian said. Mark blinked. "Babe, you've been a girl all your life," he replied. Amusement was curling his lip up and Ian wanted to punch his stupidly handsome face. "No, Mark, I have been not," Ian said. "You need to sit down. Preferably not in the bathroom," Mark said. "What I need is coffee and then I need to call Kasey, Ian, me, my phone," Ian said. "Babe you don't make any sense," Mark replied, frowning. He looked concerned too, but Ian could not spare him a thought because he was a girl and not any girl. He was Mark's girl. "Stop calling me Babe," Ian snapped. "Okay..." Mark said, stepping away from him. Ian felt like a jerk. It wasn't Mark's fault he was suddenly a girl, not any girl, but Mark's girl. But it was someone's fault. And Ian was going to figure out whose and then he would strangle that person.Complete

Cold shot
First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.Complete

Stroke
Previously known as "Mental Love." 17 years old Violet Cavalli considers herself an outcast for lack of better words, but in her defence most of the people who meet her think so, being unfortunately stuck with Asperger's, she was prevented from doing a lot of the things children her age could do in a heart beat, but for the time being going to school was on the top of her to do list and when she's granted her wish, we all know that things can never be simple. Ian Wildon is considered the school's outcast, he was literally shunned by the rest of his fellow schoolmates for his lack of anger management and self control, but this never bothered him completely, he liked being isolated, away from any human contact in the company of a pallet, paint and a huge canvas. What would happen if a person who hates human interaction and a person who lacks the ability to communicate with others cross paths, but as much as its not necessary for them to communicate they both hold a soft spot for one another. The road will never be smooth, instead its going to be bumpy and full of obstacles but we should never underestimate the power of love, and how two outcasts fight their way through the tough world in order to pursue their love...Complete
