See full descriptionThis is a young adult fiction book that assumes an interesting take on the life of teenagers who are also third-culture kids. Specifically, one teenager who is struggling with lack of friends, identifying with two different cultures, and learning to stand up for herself.

See full descriptionThis is my take of a Romanian myth/superstition. It was so fun to write and add my own twist, but I've only had a couple friends and family read it. I am looking for any and all feedback! What works, what doesn't, what could be done better, punctuation/grammar/spelling errors that I'm sure I've missed while editing. I am hoping to publish this so I appreciate ALL feedback! I tend to classify this as supernatural/paranormal thriller.

See full descriptionThe annual kingdom summit was cursed. For the past thirteen years, the people of Dewar breathed easy knowing that the gathering that took the lives of their beloved king and queen and led to the deaths of thousands of civilians would never happen again. The disappearance of a local woman sparks a chain of events that leads the reclusive king to announce the revival of the summit. And this time, he will be opening it up to kingdoms on the surrounding planets.
There is a romance and whodunit subplot, and it contains adult content (murder, sex, language).
