The thing about writing is that it opens up your mind to new made-up worlds, and the thing about reading is that it helps you escape the real one.

Black In the Water

Where mystery meets romance... —Excerpt— We lay next to each other, both of us not saying a thing, but I feel comfortable. I don’t have the impulse to have to talk to him to avoid an awkward silence because it has never been awkward with Ash, I realise. “You asleep?” he whispers to me. “Nope,” I reply quietly. “It’s weird because my body is so tired but I can’t seem to shut my brain off.” “Me neither,” he says. I hear the crackling of the fresh sheet under us move and realise Ash has turned to face me. “Uhm, what?” I ask dubiously. “Nothing, I’m just trying to find a comfortable position.” “Okay,” I say as I stare at him in the dim glow of the candles. Ash stares back at me, his hand lifts to push away a strand of hair that has fallen into my eyes, then he closes his eyes. He is asleep in the next moment, with his hand frozen on my cheek. Usually, with anyone else, I would push his hand away because it feels wrong and uncomfortable. But his caress felt good against the slight burn on my skin. And as he rests his hand on my cheek, I can’t help but think about how no one has ever held me close to them and makes me feel this way. Even though Ash and I are far from holding each other close, just a touch of his hand comforts me in ways that others’ hugs have tried and failed. Without much thinking, I push Ash’s fallen hair out of his eyes and rest my hand against his cheek. In the next moment, as my eyes start to droop, I feel a pull of his cheek against my palm and realise he is smiling. —————————————————————————————————————————— When an apartment building is plagued by a strange substance in its water, its residents uncover a foreboding mystery that will perish them all. With a deadly fog that blocks their escape, they must now forget their differences and work together to overcome the horrifying events that ultimately threaten their survival.

The Island

Humans have always had the instinct to survive, they have done it for thousands of years, but what if survival is not an everyday threat anymore? What if, unbeknown to anyone, the human mind has found a way to evolve? __ Following the death of her grandfather, emotionally disconnected Hailey Peeters finds herself unable to accept the unusual chain of events that led to his demise. How could she? Growing up, strange visions have always succeeded in warning her when a life-altering moment is about to unfold, giving her time to change the course of her life. Then the night before his funeral, Hailey meets a mysterious handsome figure who gives her a message that leaves her confused and desperately hoping for something she knows is impossible. But when that message leads her to discover a dream island where dreams are not really dreams, she finally discovers the real power that she possesses and, as it turns out, the strange visions she has been having since she was a child are all just a small part of it. Before, nothing could surprise Hailey. Now? Her life feels like a long walk through bumpy-lane, with a curveball on every corner-and, as it just turns out, everyone and everything she has always known is not as it seems.
