Lacuna, a small town somewhere near the border of Oregon and California. Nestled in a valley of mountains too insignificant for a proper name. Maybe you've unwittingly stopped there for gas on a long car trip or maybe you've made a horribly wrong turn and found yourself turning on all the lights in your car and constantly checking your rear view mirror. Everyone knows however that something isn't quite right. Normally in the pacific northwest, UFO sightings, Bigfoot encounters, and local legends are commonplace and lead to nothing more than interesting interactions with crazed locals. Lacuna, however, is different. Missing persons, cults, shadowy corporations, ritualistic killings, bizarre monuments, and strange buildings litter the town and seem impossible to ignore.

They're searching for a new home and a place to bunker down, only warmed by each other's company. With the ever present danger of zombies and Frank close on their trail, they need to find a new way to survive. They're lost and scared, and have nothing but questions for where to go from here, and how they've been able to survive for so long. Will Frank catch up to them? Will they survive the winter? Or, like the rest of the world, will they perish, cold and alone? // I'm constantly updating this story! It's a work in progress but new chapters come out every three days or less.

Lsd in the ER

Shiloh Clearlake, a 19-year-old wolf pack heir and college sophomore, has spent his life protecting the coast and trusting his instincts. Everything shifts when Isla Winslow transfers in: quiet, guarded, carrying scars she won't explain and truths she can't speak. One night on campus changes everything, leaving her caught between two worlds-and dragging Shiloh into the storm with her. The first five chapters unravel slowly through Shiloh's eyes: fog-wrapped patrols along the pier, unspoken tension across library tables, whispers of something stalking their town, and the night he finds Isla blood-soaked beneath the rain. This is a supernatural romance where loyalty collides with survival, where wolves and vampires are forced onto the same path, and where the wrong choice could cost everything.
