Alex Cabrera is new to Shadow Wood, Pennsylvania. Not that he minded moving from the Sunshine State when there's nothing there to hold him down. Not even the clingy ex-boyfriend who won't stop calling him repeatedly throughout the day.
To Alex, Shadow Wood reminds him of a living Prozac commercial. Strangers smile and wave from their yards, while children blissfully run and play. The town is unmistakably beautiful, a vibrant, historical community, with a river that runs through its center.
If that's not enough to catch Alex's attention, there's also the four beautiful strangers he meets at a bonfire, who will force him to question his worldview. Little does he know, a connection he shares with one of them, will alter his life forever.
But not everything in Shadow Wood is as blissful and rose colored as it appears. A series of storms brewing on the horizon seem to portend something sinister is coming. And though no one wants to admit it, Alex senses it will be a battle of life or death; good versus evil.
And if he's right, what price must be paid? What sacrifice must be endured? What losses must be suffered?

Small Town Secrets (book 1)
When sixteen-year-old Sam is uprooted from sunny California to the shadowy town of Dustwood, Kansas, she expects boredom-not bloodlines, betrayals, and beasts that howl beneath a full moon. Trying to adjust to her new school and the hauntingly quiet forest surrounding her home, Sam finds herself drawn to two mysterious classmates: Caleb, a quiet and brooding boy with secrets buried as deep as his eyes, and Lena, a beautiful, confident girl with a grin that hides sharp truths. But Dustwood isn't just weird-it's dangerous. As Sam begins unraveling the eerie folklore of werewolves, witches, and vampires, she realizes she's more connected to this town than she ever imagined. And when dark forces rise and long-hidden truths surface-including one about her very own blood-Sam must choose who to trust... and who she's willing to fight for. Love. Loyalty. And a deadly game between monsters. Dustwood's secrets are calling. And Sam's about to become one of them.Complete
Daughter of Luka (LGBT+)
In a world of those who have human and wolf blood, Ophelia is the daughter of a wolf hunter. There's just one thing that might cause trouble for that and that is Ophelia's growing relationship with a pack of wolves that live in the forest behind her house. Ophelia thought her life was going to be simple. Well, as simple as life could get when she just happened to be failing her job, her relationship and (the absolute bane of it all) mathematics. But oh, no, something far more deadly and sinister awaits Ophelia in the forest behind her home. Will she be able to discover how to save her new friends before something takes them from her forever? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Werewolves in England? Yeah, apparently stranger things did happen. Much, much stranger than I had ever thought of before, but strange nonetheless. At first, I thought I had simply been imagining it. As soon as I got into bed and stared up at my ceiling, I pinched myself just to establish that I wasn't, in fact, dreaming. I wasn't dreaming. Thus, I had to accept what I had seen in the forest as the cold, hard, truth- make that the warm, fuzzy, truth. Werewolves were real. It was either that, or I was completely losing it.Complete

Shadow Breeds
Book 1 of The Shadow Series. Myths, that's what the humans called it, but for Ashe it quickly became her reality. Her life changing transformation narrowed her paths down to two; She could either embrace her fates and save the people she's grown to love, or she can walk away and live a somewhat normal life while others suffer the consequences. How far is she willing to go to create peace where there's never been any? Will she even create peace? Or will she help encourage the most brutal war the Shadow Realms have ever experienced? Several years of Asheland's childhood had disappeared from her memory. She assumed it was her brain trying to protect her from a traumatic event, although that's true it's not exactly what she expected and her brain wasn't necessarily the cause. After being homeless until she was sixteen years old, then living in a boat dock for four years, she had finally found her home in a cottage in the near-by mountains of Wolf Creek. Everything seemed to be going well. However, as a list of secrets begin unraveling when Ashe gives in to her overwhelming urges to visit the island that terrified almost every citizen in Wolf Creek, her life becomes more complicated than she could've ever imagined. All of this just because she was turning twenty-one. Nothing was as it had ever seemed. * excerpt from the book * { "Why do you make such reckless, impulsive decisions?" The old man asked as we watched the moon. "The world could end tomorrow and everyone expects me to live in fear today? There's no life to live inside the box of fear, there's no freedom in there," I replied softly. }Complete
