    Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline is being raised in a trailer park by a scruffy cat who smells like burnt toast, and the wind-up chambermaid (with key and torsion spring built-in) who found her in a laundry hamper. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Her dreams of becoming a writer got quashed in infancy, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from Miskomin, the cheeky liar who lives a few doors down. As Evangeline's adolescence unfolds, the appearance of an unexpected competitor erodes her burgeoning self-confidence, and a predatory artistic director attempts to rewrite her entire world. Her desperate reactions to these influences and her subsequent return to storytelling bring her inner demons to life. Literally. Eager to master herself, Evangeline tackles a series of monsters, operates a murderous sewing machine, and befriends a sentient doll. Her misadventures help unearth latent abilities and force her relationship with neighbour and frenemy, Miskomin, to undergo a surprising evolution. As her creative journey unfolds, Evangeline gains the understanding and experience she needs to face the final boss: Herself. Will she learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is? *I'm writing this novel as I go. This is a rough draft. I update every Friday evening Eastern Time. **Note regarding chapter images: AI is devastating the environment. Instead of continuing to use it to generate chapter images, I thought it would be fun to instead post non-ai images created by fans and digital artists eager to promote their work. Interested in contributing? Contact me via Discord: bjorkobirka. Artwork will be credited to the artist, and I can share the artist's contact information if desired. PG images only. Thank you!! I very much hope this story finds the readers it resonates with. Shout-out to my fellow weirdos!! Happy reading!

    Roland Dillon is a college dropout who is terminally obsessed with Agnes Holcomb, a former college classmate and unrequited love interest who had long since severed contact with him. In struggling to reconcile her beauty with the fact that he will never be with her, Dillon fakes his own death and hides himself away in remote northern Quebec, leaving behind little except an unremarkable life as a waiter and a trail of baffling clues for the people tasked with investigating his disappearance. As his mental state rapidly declines, he passes through a series of hallucinations, many of which involving Agnes who is cast repeatedly as a supernatural figure with apocalyptic undertones. Other hallucinations involve the mysterious Dr. Rhinebeck, who alternates between being Dillon's personal therapist and the criminal psychologist investigating Dillon's disappearance. As the hallucinations intensify in both scope and violence, he soon convinces himself that he is the president of the United States and the second coming of Jesus Christ. And yet, even through these transformations, Dillon is still frustrated by his failure to comprehend Agnes's beauty and his inability to accept that they have no future together. At the peak of Dillon's insanity and as reality itself begins to collapse, Dillon resolves to construct a doomsday weapon capable of extincting humankind.

    WONDER WANDER A Coming of Age Fantasy For one hundred years, humanity has been trapped inside a dying dream. Banished to a nightmare realm imagined by a comatose god, survival depends on those who can bend reality itself through lucid thought. Wars are fought not for power-but for the hope of never sleeping again. Dawn was born into the aftermath of that war. Chosen by Varitan, the god who dreams their prison into existence, Dawn is offered a chance few ever have had: to walk a series of trials and decide who deserves to return the world they left behind... and those who must remain behind. But freedom has a cost. Every step forward forces Dawn to confront the damage left behind by a century of conflict, and the sins of a father whose choices still haunt the world. As old grudges surface and truths unravel, Dawn must decide whether justice means salvation... or forgiveness. A quiet, character-driven fantasy about growing up in a broken world, where hope and despair exist side by side, and even dreams can bleed.

    The Void is sentient. It seeks the consumption of all existence, but is unable to do so due to forces it unintentionally gave rise to during its own emergence. Unable to act directly, it instead corrupts reality - influencing, degrading, and destabilizing it over time. Humanity discovered the Void after its effects became measurable. In response, the Void Response Authority was formed: an interstellar organization tasked with studying Void-corrupted phenomena, containing active threats, and, when possible, repurposing anomalous properties as weapons. Soriel is a void anomaly employed by the VRA as an anomalous agent. Following a transfer to the Frontier planet Abyssia, he becomes part of a system designed to observe, control, and survive the influence of the Void - even as conditions begin to diverge from what the Authority considers acceptable.

    Two days before an exam that could decide everything, a boy does what he has always done- he studies, he counts time, he breathes through pressure. And then, quietly, he disappears. What he believes is a single bad dream becomes a world that refuses to let him wake up. A neon city where time glitches. Where the people he loves are visible-but impossibly far. Where the ones who hurt him walk close, familiar, unchanged. A man meets him there and says only one thing: Move on. Outside, six people sit beside a body that does not respond. They don't know about the city. They don't know about the fights. They don't know that every small act of love- a voice, a touch, a meal, a presence- is keeping someone alive in another place. Inside, trauma takes shape. Stress hunts. Anxiety multiplies paths. Panic convinces him he has already lost. And the final battle wears a face he recognizes. If he fails, he dies in both worlds. When he wakes, he doesn't wake to answers. He wakes to home. To a date that feels wrong. To a life that continued without him. This is not a story about winning. It's about not disappearing. Six Months Deep is a psychological, surreal novel about exams, memory, love, and the quiet violence of things left unsaid- about surviving something before you know it happened.
