In the winter of 1992, Hailie Stark's parents were both found dead in their hotel room in Rome, their skin engraved with a language nobody could recognise. Rumours swept through the town, from a planned assassination by the President of Italy himself to accusations of the room holding tormented spirits unable to pass to the other side.
Now living with her older half sister Alexis in New York city, Hailie's finally decided it's time for her to find out the truth behind her fogged past and her parents death by venturing out back to Rome herself to finally start searching for the answers she had wanted for ten years.
The more questions you ask, the more vulnerable you become. Hailie finds herself stranded in deep water after finding out a little too much for her own liking, and far too much for their liking.
Time is reversed. The impossible comes to life. Traitors are exposed and years of lies are unfolded. After all, nobody said it was easy.

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist
While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.Concluída
HIS ETERNAL DESIRE
She woke up in a hospital bed, her mind a void. There was no name to speak of, no memories to claim her as their own. Only a name on a paper, a face in a picture, and a haunting sense that she didn't belong in this world. Hazel, they called her. But who was Hazel? The girl who woke up didn't know where she came from. She didn't remember her life before the crash. The accident that stole her memories also erased the life she once knew, leaving only nightmares of a man and a woman whose bloodstained faces haunted her dreams. Their deaths were brutal. Violent. And somehow, they were tied to her. She could feel it. In the hollow spaces of her mind, in the way her heart raced when she saw their faces in old news articles, and in the unnerving whispers she heard in her dreams. A search for answers began, one that would reveal a dangerous truth. Hazel was not who they said she was. She wasn't just a girl in foster care. She was the daughter of two powerful, dead parents, caught in the deadly web of a world she never knew existed. A world of mafia bosses, ruthless betrayal, and blood-soaked revenge. And someone-someone she trusted-was responsible for their deaths. Her parents' killers had been lurking in the shadows for far too long. And now, it was time for Hazel to find them.
