Spirit Crossing: A Novel Novels & Stories

I'll go first and take the risk - they need to see I’m willing to die for this community, for them, for justice. Suddenly, I felt something unusual—something had changed. It was as if my reality had shifted, as if the world around me had frozen in place. The wind stopped blowing, the clouds no longer moved, suspended in the sky like painted illusions. I felt as though I were sinking into the ground, losing all sense of gravity, as if the earth itself was swallowing me. It was like drifting into a dream—surreal, weightless, and strangely silent. What is happening?

He seemed to be in some kind of trance as he made his way past me into the busy hall way, clutching something under his jacket and checking over his shoulders, curiosity won over common sense and now here I was–in the woods–watching my crush of over a year dig a shallow hole in the frozen earth. HOSEA The gymnasium looms ahead as I make my way over with Derrick who is still chattering loudly beside me, unaware of the internal turmoil I’m facing. This isn’t new to me though, he always is. As I stand in front of the building the energy feels… different and I can guess why. The arrival of Mr. Sinclair has stirred up the stagnant air of Briarcliff, a ripple of something akin to excitement distur

“We do not seek war. But we will not return to silence. The Spiral listens only to its own echo. We’ve heard something older. Come. Witness. Or remain, and burn alone.” Seris read it aloud, furious. “She’s calling for separation. She’s trying to divide us with poetry.” “No,” I said. “She’s already divided us. She’s just daring us to notice.” Mira watched the message flicker in the sky and whispered: “She’s right about one thing… the Spiral is still only listening to itself.” 4. Crossing the Hollow I left the Grove before sunrise. Rafael tried to stop me. So did Seris. Even Mira looked uneasy.

As she approached, he helped her into the saddle, then climbed onto his own. The moment their mounts galloped beyond the sanctuary gates, the fog seemed to recoil. But the woods beyond remained treacherous. As they rode, Catherine whispered enchantments to cloak their presence, while Father Emmanuel—now riding with them—recited protective scriptures beneath his breath. They were not simply traveling through land anymore. They were crossing into the spiritual battlefield. They reached the river crossing by dawn. The old bridge had collapsed under mysterious circumstances, as if clawed by something massive. Catherine knelt by the splintered wood. “This wasn’t rot. Look at the burn marks.”

Hoping to buy himself a little more time, he grabbed one of the thicker books—Bag of Bones—and hurled it toward the stairs just as the panther came into the library. Time stretched out like taffy, and as the book sailed across the room, the panther seemed to shrink before his eyes. With dawning horror, Brad realized there had never been a panther, it was only Phantom. He cried out even as the book landed on top of the cat. Phantom let out a nails-on-chalkboard cry, pinned beneath the heavy brick of a volume. Brad hurried back to the stairs, casting the book aside. Phantom seemed daze, mewling and curling up on itself like a pill bug.

You'll be able to find me on various SM pl@forms so make sure you come check in on the latest :) I am currently working on more Mafia romances, a new series called The Notorious Five.

"Good evening, I'm Sarah Lee and I have some breaking news for our viewers. A new casino in Clyde, Marion, has been the target of gang violence. According to eyewitnesses, the bar was burnt down by members of a notorious gang in the city. The police are investigating the incident and are warning the public to stay away from the area." My hand froze mid-air, popcorn spilling out of my grasp and onto the floor. The reality of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. I lived just a few blocks away from the casino and the thought of gang violence so close to home was frightening. I couldn't help but wonder if this was just the beginning of a new wave of gang activity in Clyde. As I sat on my c

I had no idea where to find him, so I stood outside the prison gates where Trevis had been incarcerated for years. That day, many inmates were released after serving their sentences, but I never saw the person I longed to see. As night fell, I left. The years of longing and unexpressed emotions had almost driven me crazy. So, I began to write, using my few memories to document our story. I titled it "Whispers Across the Moon." It was published in my senior year. The story of a young girl's innocent and unrequited love moved countless readers to tears and touched many hearts.

Shivering with cold, he gave himself up for lost and prayed to the gods, whom his mother had often told him about, to take him from this dreadful ship and let him escape the fatal illness. As, he lay there praying, he heard a slight noise in the rigging just above his head. Looking up, he saw a ball of fire running along a yardarm near the top of the mast. The sight was so strange that he forgot his prayer and stared with open-mouthed wonder. To his astonishment, the ball grew brighter and brighter, and then suddenly began slipping down the mast, all the time increasing in size. The poor boy did not know what to do or to think. Were the gods, in answer to his prayer, sending fire to burn the

When I turned around, the traveller was gone. I arrived at the village a few hours later. It was much the same as any other human village, thatched roofs covering stone cottages, dirt tracks and an entrance leading to a market place. I dismounted my house. I caught a group of young women giggling and looking in my direction. I rolled my eyes but secretly enjoyed the attention. It was a shame I didn’t have time to indulge a little while I was here. In order to escape temptation, I stopped a man carrying a crate of vegetables to ask him where the inn was. “Just across the market, one ‘o the biggest buildings here” I gave my thanks and led the horse in the direction the man had pointed out.
