"It was our family tradition: every year on the first day of summer, the four of us ate supper at one of those retro diners downtown - one where smiling waitresses wore miniskirts and ruffled aprons and served all the mouthwatering goodness that made Sunday-best children forget their table manners."

Recipe for Love
Book 2 of the Chimera Trilogy He wasn't really looking for it but when love shows up he has to decide whether he'll accept it or not. New connections, old ties, and surprising revelations are ingredients for lasting love or for instructions to a charred heart. Ecerpt: Mike was tall like Alex, slim like him, had the same blue eyes and black hair. I could only conclude that my brain was looking elsewhere for an Alex substitute. That was not flattering to myself or fair to him. It was easier I guess to pick a fight then actually let myself like him. His eyes flipped to mine again. That eyebrow went up and he smirked. Now he was laughing at me. I straightened and turned to lean against the pole with my back to him. Maybe it was time to find a nice girl to date. The trouble was I hadn't been interested in anyone enough to want to go on a date, and I wasn't the kind to do one night stands. My eyes flipped to Alex. He was smiling and laughing at something Tyler was saying. I was happy for him but if I really let it be felt, I was jealous, a little that Tyler got him and I didn't, but I think it was more that they were together and happy and I had no one. I'd finally hit that age I wanted family and children. "Here." A plate appeared in front of me. I looked around and saw Mike holding it out. "What's this?" "That's commonly known as food. You eat it. I've noticed you favor the mushroom soup, stuffing with gravy and corn on the cob. Here you go." I took the plate. Why on earth had he not only noticed what I ate but brought me a plate of it.Complete
The Hours We Have
βI think we've lost the meaning of family.β β’ β’ β’ A few years ago, we tragically lost our parents, and every day since then, my brothers and I have drifted apart. We have intense defense mechanisms and our own methods of survival in the adult world. Our house feels less like home, the city feels empty, and the stars seem more distant. Will we be able to heal as a family? Or will we go our separate ways as adults? β«β«β«β« β«β«β«β« β«β«β«β« Cover is made by me.

Stubborn But Broken
Theron kissed a bruise. Then another and another. His lips fluttered against every area of tainted flesh. I blinked, not allowing the much-needed tears to pass through my eyes. I had never been touched so tenderly, softly, carefully. I never noticed how much my body desperately craved such affection. I had never been without touch, but I had been deprived of consent. Trigger Warning: abusive household, rape and sexual assault, trauma. These sensitive topics are not written about to glamourize the situations, but to show my personal perspective of my character's struggles.Complete

Urban Fanics
Young citizens often grow up in the "ghetto" facing environmental problems with family and friends. They often discover themselves as individuals outside of the poor community. Some become parents, money makers, or even addicts. It's a rush against envy, heartbreak, and depression. Some survive or survive in graves. The #1 rule? Kill or be killed. Eat selfishly or starve.
