What happens to us when we fall asleep at night? Where does our consciousness go? Does it stay with us, or does it visit some foreign land that isn't even on the map? And are dreams fragments of these places? Lost memories of the supernatural and exotic things that we have experienced but simply don't remember?
Olivia Scott is a detective in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a city where crime thrives. She's called to investigate a scene one day during a blizzard, when she gets into a horrible accident. She's knocked into a coma, and her soul visits a place like no other. This is where she meets Beck Mitchell, a man who has been restrained in this world for quite some time, with no hopes of escape.
Olivia has seen this place in her dreams before. She's convinced that some piece of this dream world is real. As she continues to Investigate this strange world, and as her body fights for life, will she wake from her coma and leave this world behind forever, or will she die and stay there forever?
...but most importantly, will she find out how to save Beck Mitchell before her timer runs out?

NOCTUARY: A journal of my dreams
What if your dreams weren't just dreams, but a second life you live every night? Be warned: what you read here could change the way you sleep forever. NOCTUARY is the logbook of that parallel life. It is not a collection of fantasies, but the raw-and at times terrifying-narrative of a soul that leaves its body each night to venture into the world. These are inexplicable chronicles of dreams: experiences in real places, with real people, and the strange ability to return to bed at will. But the return is never complete. The border between worlds is permeable, and something always seeps through. Each awakening is a race against forgetting: to decipher the last night's revelation or warning, to understand how it's possible to return not just with memories, but with proof. Sometimes, it's with a bit of real dust on your feet. These stories immerse you in a reality where the rules are broken and the questions become unsettling: What is consciousness when it can leave the body? And what is the real world when you can bring back fragments from another? After reading this, you will never sleep the same way again.

Can Alice and the group of survivors survive? And will Alice ever get the chance to meet her family, or will it be too late?Complete
TIME TESTAMENT
William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does. The city they live in is a dynamic place in the near future, but built up from the past, layers of millenia holding up its foundations, and dark energies working deep beneath its basements. The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.Complete
