When Daniel and his twin sister stumble across their mom's old journal, they expect recipes or grocery lists-not riddles, challenges, and Bible verses woven into a mysterious scavenger hunt. At first, Daniel wants nothing to do with it. But the clues tug them deeper into their mom's world-forcing the twins, their best friend, and even their distant dad to face memories, secrets, and truths they've been avoiding. Each clue isn't just a puzzle-it's a lesson about courage, trust, and faith drawn from the Book of Daniel. As they chase answers from the fridge to the firepit, from hidden notes to forgotten keepsakes, the family discovers that the journal isn't only about the past. It's a map leading them back to each other. Full of humor, heart, and a dash of mystery, this story is about more than solving riddles. It's about family, faith, and finding hope in the hardest places.

Mommy Booknerd, 5 star review: "Dreamscape is one of those books that you wish you, yourself, could hop into and be taken away into the adventure, fantasy and setting contained within the pages. Who doesn't want to be taken on an adventure that involves danger, mystery and love in various forms... Pulioff has such a creative mind and I feel that she really captures the essence of characters that readers can relate to. Her books make you think, make you wonder and allow you to step out of the everyday world into a fascinating and exciting world filled with adventure..." Reader's Favorite, 5 star review: "This exciting adventure is vividly brought to life through a brilliant plot and unforgettable characters set in the magical world of Dreamscape. I loved the idea of two little girls playing video games and then a girl super hero; it breaks so many stereotypes. Dreamscape: Saving Alex is not your everyday YA fantasy novel. The story brilliantly blends adventure, fantasy, action, suspense, some YA romance, and a mesmerizing setting to give you a thrilling reading experience." *Available in e-book and paperback from online retailers.

I've been wanting to revamp my OC book for quite some time, so here it is! I'll be moving my characters over one at a time as I have the energy to do so, and they'll each come with their own scenarios. Long live roleplaying.✌🏻 (Please be advised, I have a semi-literate to literate roleplaying style.)

Images flashed before my eyes. The city before me flickered, and I saw it in flames. And at the center of it all, me. A murderous super-human, just like the X-men. I sank to the ground, consumed by thoughts. And I banished the picture of flames from my mind, and with it, the fantasy of being free from myself. Forget the X-men. Like they'd said. I was the x. The unknown factor. Dangerous. Lethal. Unpredictable. I had a mission. Get into the city, undetected. Get supplies. Get information. Get out.
