In the snowy shadows of the Swiss Alps, magical beings from around the world gather to decide how best to spread warmth, kindness, and just a hint of mischief during the holiday season.

By Krystian Simms In a city built on lies, truth is a threat. When the streets of Solara start forgetting-parents losing their children's names, elders slipping into silence, memories unraveling like thread-the world blames disease. But seven chosen souls know the truth: the city's drowning in deception, and the cost is human consciousness itself. Gifted by the Sun God, armed with intrusive memories and righteous fire, witches, prophets, tarot readers, and urban mystics rise up to fight back. They're not warriors-they're truth-tellers. And in a world where too much truth can kill, every revelation comes with a price. Among them: Mercy, a vegan witch who throws the Tower card on a city she refuses to lie for. Zaire, an autistic prophet held hostage by the government for seeing destinies in birth charts. Malik, the child with fire in his veins and visions that could scorch the system. Layla, healing others while mourning the man who called her the wrong name. And the Circle-who refuse to forget, even as the world tries to erase them. But now, something worse is coming. Not erasure. Replacement. They don't just want your mind. They want to rewrite your memory, your truth-your soul. This is not dystopia. This is now. The Memory War is a raw, gritty, spellbinding journey through urban magic, spiritual warfare, neurodivergence, and the power of remembrance. For fans of Octavia Butler, N.K. Jemisin, and those who know that truth still matters-even when it burns.

~Wattys 2025 Winner~ BLOODLINES: THE BLOOD WITCH Book One of the Bloodlines Trilogy When Morgan Doran inherits her family's ancestral estate, she expects dust, secrets, and maybe a little madness-not a haunting, a legacy of forbidden power, and a warlock sworn to kill her. But Callum Rook isn't just any warlock. Bound by blood and prophecy, he arrives at the castle with a mission-to stop the rise of the last Blood Witch. Yet Morgan is nothing like the monster he was raised to fear. She is human. Fierce. Magnetic. And when he chooses love over legacy, everything unravels. As Morgan's powers awaken, ancient forces rise to claim her. Her bloodline carries not only the power to destroy, but the memory of betrayal, sacrifice, and a curse that spans generations. The deeper she falls for Callum, the more dangerous their love becomes. With enemies closing in and her destiny hurtling toward a tragic end, Morgan must decide: will she accept her fate, or rewrite it in fire and blood? Darkly romantic, chillingly magical, and emotionally devastating-Bloodline: The Blood Witch is a gothic fantasy of love, power, and the price of defying prophecy.

I was never one to believe in dreams. I never remembered them. To me, they were baseless-pointless-merely illusions, you see. But I soon realized, that I only ever thought so, because I always forgot them before I even remembered them. I always forgot my dreams even while I was in one. ____ Three dreams. Three Lives. One Dreamer. Hazen was different. In a world of witches, she was born a twin-but only by accident. A child who stole strength in the womb. Her limbs brimmed with power, while her sister's heart beat too faintly. Rina, the beloved twin, healed with the touch of her fingers, breathed life into herbs with the songs in her throat- but she was always too soft. Too fragile. And when the world silently wished her stronger, Hazen did what they all hoped. She gave it all back. Yet, as the days rolled on, as her fate crept closer, Hazen asked for just one miracle of her own. She wished to dream. ___ Cover by me.
