Order Now

In the Elven world Fae are the enemy. How do you survive a world you don't know anything about? And, how do you find a way home when you don't know how you got there?

Lily finds herself running for her life from short people, not cute dwarves, but sinister evil things that want to capture her. What did they want from her? Where did they even come from? Lily had taken a walk in the lush green forest near her home only to find herself running through an autumn coloured forest. How can season change within seconds, Lily didn't know. The only thing she did know, she was being hunted. After finding a hiding spot in yet another season, a winter forest, she became thankful those that were hunting stopped their pursuit and left. What she didn't expect was an elf, a real live elf, to find her.

With the help of the elves, Lily found herself on a trip to see the elf witch. Where Lily hoped to find answers and find a way to get back home, hopefully before her dad got to worried. Or, before the Fae, those not so cute dwarf sized beings, found a way to capture her. What they wanted her for no one new, but Lily thought whatever it was, it wouldn't be good for her.
But, will she want to go home after finding friendship and a surprising connection to the world she finds herself on?

It is dangerous being in a world you have little understanding about.

“We are climbing across the rocks behind the waterfall,” Lare said, pulling out another rope making their total of four ropes that didn’t look more than six feet long and five people to use them.
“And I could get killed because it’s slippery, please say it’s because of the rocks being wet,” Lily begged intertwining her fingers so hard her knuckles were turning white.
“Yes, it’s dangerous to climb on wet rock,” Frost said not daring to look at anyone.
“Well that’s a relief,” Lily said with a giggle, everyone turned to her shocked.
“A relief, a relief? You are most likely to die trying to climb and you are not worried,” Frost growled out.
“Back down feisty pants, I’ve climbed worse. My dad would take me climbing all the time. We even climbed a frozen waterfall once. Of course we had more gear,” Lily said staring at the only gear they had, rope.

Order Now

Genetically made humans, a secret about Earth's history, a law to stay away from the forbidden islands, what are the scientist hiding?

After the great war the world was flooded creating islands. Some of these islands were forbidden to keep people safe from the destruction the war brought, while the scientists created plants to keep them safe on their own island, or so everyone thought. When Lindzee goes on her school trip to the scientist labs life changes when the trip abruptly with the escape of an animal they were creating,

When Lindzee and Aiden find the missing animal after going on a walk through the woods there world changes. When the animal they find ends up being something they didn't count on and now they need to decide what to do with it. Should they tell the scientist or help it? Either decision, Lindzee now has a desire to learn if what they is taught about the war that happened is the truth. What if the things the scientist want everyone to know about the past and the present are lies? The one truth is that the scientist lied about there being no life on the forbidden islands, this escaped animal is visual evidence of their lie. If everyone has been lied to about what is on the islands, what purpose would it be for and does it mean they are hiding something else about their world from everyone? Lindzee decides that if the scientist did lie to everyone, then she needs to find a way to tell them. How to do that is tricky though as anyone who speaks out against the scientists or their history seems to vanish. Would they really kill her for telling the truth, yes they would.

Scientist changed how the human race lived, that is if you could still call them human.

​​​​​​​     Children were not born here in the way they were before the war, now they grew in special incubation tubes to ensure they had all the benefits they needed to survive. They had to adjust and make sure they could breathe the air around them, so they were modified to breathe Oxygen during the day and Carbon Dioxide at night.

     To help the plants around them survive too having the plants breathe out what the humans now needed and the humans doing the same for the plants. It was one way the scientist helped the human race live with all the toxins that were put into the air after the war.

 

The Ghost in the Crypt

A Novel

Ghost in the Crypt book cover.JPG

A Ghost, A monster, A mystery, What could go wrong?

Angelina loved mysteries. When Angelina and her best friend find one at the summer school they attend, Angelina decides she has to try and solve it. After meeting their roommate, who tells them about the crypt in the school, they decide to take a private look around. In the middle of the night, all three creep down to the crypt. What they didn't expect was a ghost. A ghost asking for help. After getting scared, running back to their room, they encounter another student out of bed. This boy, who earlier had warned them not to go into the crypt after overhearing their plans, did he know about the ghost, or did he create the spectral to scare them. When Angelina convinces her friends to solve the mystery the evidence of what happened to the ghost doesn't make sense. Was there a cover-up about what happened to her or did she run away never to be found? Either way Angelina was determined to find out the truth, even if it might put her and her friends in danger.

The crypt can sometimes give you unexpected experiences

Unexpectedly, the misty light that Stacey said she had seen earlier appeared right in front of them. The girls just looked up eyes wide, not certain whether they should run or scream. Lucy started to shake a little and Stacey reached out to hold Angelina's arm. Angelina just stared with her mouth hanging open unable to speak or even breathe. The mist started to take form and whispered to them, 'help me, find me, do not leave me hear alone' and then it was gone.

Will the monster that is behind this mystery find it's next victim? Will it be one of the girls?

The monster stood watching the tourists lined up for a tour to the jailhouse. The protector walked closer trying to blend in with the crowd making sure this hunted animal could not see him. Getting within ten feet his prey looked up right into his eyes, giving an evil smile and licking his lips as if he was going to devour him if he came any closer. Then throwing his head back his prey laughed, lunging himself into a crowd and disappearing again.

Thoughts of a Dead Girl

A Novel 

thoughts of a dead girl book cover 2019.JPG

Order Now

A new summer, secrets revealed, a monster to run from, will Angelina survive?

The monster who now calls himself Paul has become friends with one of her brothers, Alan. Being close to the monster that wants her dead is not helping her stay calm or helping her keep her secret from her friends about Paul being a monster. Angelina's only escape is going to summer school far away.

South Africa seemed far enough away from her problem, Paul, that Angelina believed her summer would be normal. At least as normal as any other teenager who chose to go to summer school. When the girls find out their is another mystery, they decided to follow the clues, which quickly turns out to be nothing but an unfortunate accident. Except the ghost stuck around, and it's an annoying one. No mystery, Angelina relieved because she had enough to worry about. So, instead of diving into another mystery, Angelina decides to test her new abilities and discovers the girl that was found dead in the pool was connected to the mystery of last summer. Not only a similarity to how both girls died, but who killed them. There turns out to also be a link to someone Angelina thought they could trust, a teacher. A teacher that Angelina finds out wants her dead. So, not only does Angelina have a monster who wants to kill her, but also a teacher who has a secret of her own. How will she survive and will she be able to keep her friends from harm?

Every thing seemed fine until...

What she didn't expect was Paul's spy, and Paul leaving his mark of death on the school she went to. Working on her powers and learning new ones through the summer allowed Angelina to understand what the cult wants with her. But will she end her summer with her friendships intact? Will she grow closer to Henry to keep her sanity? Not telling her friends the truth of who she is and about the cult is putting a strain on her friendships. With her friendships slipping away, and the spy keeping out of sight, and with the looming doom of her death from Paul how was she going to get through the summer, let alone the rest of the year.

The most annoying ghost in the world

"You better tell them about the ghost then before they go running around the school trying to find her,” Henry said leaning his leg against hers.
"Tell us what?" Stacey asked turning to face Angelina. Stacey had kicked all the rocks and loose foliage away from where she sat so this time she did not have any problems with sitting on something uncomfortable.
"I got in contact with the ghost last week. I didn’t want to say anything because she was just trying to keep me up and taunted me. She never asked for help or wanted anything, but to annoy me and keep me awake. I have not slept well since because I keep wondering if she'll come to bug me or if she is going to stay away. This ghost is so random and honestly if she did this when she was alive I would strangle her myself,” Angelina said imitating herself strangling someone with her hands.
"Really, so we have a psycho ghost that just wants to bug people to death,” Stacey said leaning forward onto her knees.

Prisoners in a Castle

A Novel

Prisoners in a Castle book cover 2019.JPG

Order Now

A cult to find, a witch to destroy, protectors to help them, and three eager friends.

With Angelina knowing where to find Lark, or at least what country she was in, her and her friends set off back to England. This time instead of working on school work they were working on finding a way to eliminate the threat of Lark and her cult. With a couple of years of training with Henry to understand her witch powers, Angelina is able to use her abilities to locate the cult. The only thing that Angelina didn't anticipate was an old friend of Henry's appearing to claim he wants to help them. If this old friend was being truthful about what he has said then it will greatly help Angelina to keep out of the witch's hands, but if he was lying there would going to be grave consequences. Those consequences being  Angelina's. As the truth unfolds about the cult and Henry's family's involvement in protecting people Angelina finds friendships torn, her relationship with Henry on the brink of collapse, and her own life in peril. Will she survive or will the witch claim Angelina's life and gain more power?

How do the monsters live for so long when the protectors have killed so many, multiple times it seems.

Angelina confused about the deaths of the members Anne had shown her.
"Why did they not turn to dust like Paul did?" Angelina asked leafing through the pictures stopping at Paul.
"I never had another member turn to dust when I killed them. He was a first and I did wonder why," Henry said...

"They needed a new member of the cult, and you said that they only did that when a member died. What if they die and turn to dust when they do not come back,” Stacey said from the chair by the fire. She had curled up under a thick lap blanket after she finished sketching.
They all looked over at Stacey who smiled back at them. Angelina awestruck from what Stacey said turned to Henry and asked, "Do you think it's true? If Stacey is right then we need to ask more of your family if they killed anyone that turned to dust.”
