The dreams started after a night with friends in a haunted house. The group of thrill seekers had poked, provoked, and begged to see evidence of the paranormal. When the night failed to spook them, they went back to their lives with only boring stories to tell. But not all got away that easy. Teasing the spirits might have been the worst thing Mallory and Ruth could've done. Soon, their nightmares turned into living terrors and nothing they did helped to calm the demons. Darkness had a way of finding them, even in the light. Was there a way to outrun what couldn’t be seen?

Lifelong best friends Elaine and Katie had heard all the stories about the dilapidated shack in the woods. For years, area teens had braved spending the night in the shack’s mysterious clutch. Like clockwork, one or two of them came up missing every time. But the girls weren’t so sure they believed the rumors made up by locals to excuse disappearances. The reasons for missing teens in the area could have other plausible explanations like kids being sent to drug rehab or secret family issues. It wasn’t like Katie and Elaine weren’t familiar with how the adults in town worked. ...

Being the only one like him in the small town he was moved to, Devin was forced to retreat to the false safety of his house.

Wrestling with himself on whether he should help, he finally came to the decision that would forever change his world. Could anyone see past the tough exterior and get to know the one they called the beast or would he be doomed to spend the rest of his life in hiding?

Trigger warning.That’s what the front entrance should say. Instead, it lies the same way the outsiders do. Week after week, it cheerfully ushers unsuspecting loved ones and visitors to the registration desk where they’ll sign day passes to visit us: the broken girls. The lost. The forgotten. The damaged. The twisted. Every Saturday—Sundays on holidays too—outsiders will visit with no clue what really goes on in the place they’ve sent us to where nothing ever changes. With dull eyes and plastic smiles, we’ll nod, grin, and take their hopeful offerings of trinkets from a deceitful...

Tent City. It was where everyone headed when they were down on their luck. It was a place where you could reinvent yourself and cans of chili could be bartered out for smokes. There, you didn’t have to have jobs and as long as you didn’t steal from your neighbors, well, things worked out. But when Tent City closes and Layla and Gene have nowhere to go, the next best bet is to again hit the road. With seven dollars, a van, and a full tank of gas, it’s time to get back on the grid. Only, where will they go?

But the road always has surprises, roadside attractions, and a little crazy in store. This time, will the ladies of the road be able to stay on track to their final destination, or will it be time for a full U-turn?

Owning her own veterinarian clinic and volunteering at the shelter took up all of her time. With a special needs Labrador to care for too, it is all the companionship she thought she needed after losing her husband.

Nobody ever talks about what happens after you meet the man or woman of your dreams. All the fairy tales end after they fall madly in love and are still in the “I need to be with you all the time” phase when the cameras cut to the end credits, or the writer finishes the two words we all love to hate – the end. But what happens when you find out your prince is really a slob and can’t find where the laundry hamper is? When you have to pick up his socks ever night because his housekeeper isn’t there to do it for him anymore? Or when you thought she was the best cook in the world when...

I’m nothing like they expected me to be. As I watch my little family, I can't help but smile and think I made it. It’s as if the last 30 years of abuse and torment have been erased. Like it or not, I survived everything thrown at me and came out better for it. Of course, there are still the flashbacks and scary memories, but I'm not what they thought I was going to be.
