Catching a glimpse of a legendary all-white reindeer is supposed to bring good luck. Not for Georgia Greene. As Georgia makes her way home for Christmas, a white reindeer dashes across the road in front of her, causing her to crash her car into a ditch. With her car stuck and a storm blowing in, Georgia is forced to hole up at a remote Christmas tree farm with the help of its kindly owner, Sue. Though Sue tells Georgia stories about how seeing the white reindeer is a lucky event, Georgia is skeptical. She doesn't feel very lucky. Not only is she stranded and snowed in, but she's also stuck in the presence of Sue's surly son, Felix Nissen. But despite her distaste for the holidays, Georgia has to admit there's something special about the Christmas tree farm--almost magical. Maybe the reindeer brought her more than luck... Maybe it brought her right where she needed to be. --- This was my winning NaNoWriMo project for 2021! I took it down to edit it after the holiday season, but now it's coming back with more chapters!

[COMPLETED] [WATTYS 2022 WINNER] James Quinn can't die. Actually... that's not true. He's died many times - somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 - only to be reborn as himself to live his life over again. For millennia, he's had to endure this ceaseless existence alone. But that all changed when Martha, his soulmate, joined him in the loop with her consciousness intact. This is where "For Those Who Don't Believe in Love Songs" has left us. But questions abound... Exactly how did Martha unite with James? Can their love survive actual eternity? And who or what is this man stumbling upon Martha's doorstep? To reiterate, this is a novel for those who've read "For Those Who Don't Believe in Love Songs." If you haven't, very little in it will make sense. I've labeled it mature for language, brief sexuality, brief violence, and brief suicidal/nihilistic themes. I'm aiming to publish each Monday, though we'll see how long that lasts. (I... write... very...... slowly) Thank you for reading and I adore comments in all forms. Hope you enjoy! cover by @JELyrica

For a decade, Devils Lake has lingered in the shadows-now, for a limited time, the original version is returning to Wattpad before disappearing forever. Alison is desperate to escape the anxiety and despair that haunt her. When she meets a man who can silence her suffering with a touch, it feels like salvation. But as his influence over her mind grows, so does her doubt. Is he truly freeing her, or is she surrendering to something far darker? This special 10-year anniversary release is a rare chance to experience Devils Lake as it was first written-raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal. New chapters will be posted every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until June 21, when the final three will be released together. Early on June 28, this version will be removed from Wattpad for good as I prepare to relaunch the novel with a refined vision, bringing it closer to its true literary and thematic intent.
