Devastation Stories

This MAY not be a love story where love wins. This is a story about the cost of survival-about what has to be surrendered when power chooses you, and how some acts of mercy look indistinguishable from cruelty. There are moments in this story that will feel tender. You should not trust them. But that is up to you. There are promises that will sound safe. They may not be. Pay attention to what is missing, not what is said aloud. Forget-me-nots appear often. They may not be symbols of hope here. Some memories are taken. Some are given away. And some are destroyed so thoroughly that no one left behind will ever know what they lost. If you are looking for justice, you may not find it. If you are looking for comfort, you will find it in a summer beneath the trees. But you have been warned. But if you are willing to follow a girl who learns-too late-that love can be the most dangerous form of magic, then turn the page. Just remember: the kindest spells rarely feel kind at all. 18+ advised, use of drugs, alcohol and some sexual scenes further down the line though they can be shipped.

Christian De Luca was never built for love. He was built for violence. For power. For blood-stained loyalty and deadly promises whispered in dark rooms. Then Joe died. And with her- the last soft part of him was buried too. Now Christian exists like a ghost inside the De Luca empire: colder, crueler, untouchable. Until Hope White arrives in Italy. Joe's younger sister. Beautiful. Rebellious. Sharp-tongued. And completely unimpressed by the monster everyone fears. Hope hates Christian for the world that destroyed her sister. Christian hates the way Hope's presence cracks open grief he spent months trying to bury. But in a world ruled by mafia wars, betrayal, and dangerous men- hate becomes dangerously intimate. Especially when Hope becomes the next target. Now Christian is forced into an impossible choice: Stay away from the only woman capable of ruining him completely... Or become the devil again to keep her alive. Because some loves heal you. And some loves drag you straight into darkness. "He buried his heart with her sister. Then Hope arrived... and taught the devil how to bleed again."

He walked into her ending like it was the beginning. -- Natalie thought she had time. Time to finish college. Time to figure out who she was. Time to fall in love, eventually. But when she's diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor that will end up killing her, her future is no longer something she gets to plan; it's something she has to grieve. Then she meets a fellow cancer patient, Jonah Veylor. He's sarcastic, infuriatingly optimistic, and everything she doesn't have the energy to be. And worst of all, he's expected to survive his diagnosis. What starts as reluctant conversation turns into late-night talks, quiet car rides, and a connection Natalie never saw coming... one that forces her to confront the life she's losing and the life she still has left. Falling in love was never part of the plan, and neither was learning how to say goodbye. Some love stories are meant to last forever. This one was never meant to last at all.

In the aftermath of a devastating event, a once-close family is torn apart by the burden of an ancient feud between their ancestors. The father, along with his sons, seeks refuge in the depths of South America, while the mother takes to the road across the United States, hiding with their only daughter. Five years later, a single phone call summons the brothers back to the U.S., urgently needed to help their sister. But when they arrive, they discover she isn't the only one in need of their assistance. There's someone else-someone they knew existed but had never met: their youngest sister, Estella. She was the child their mother was pregnant with when she fled their family home in Connecticut so many years ago. Now, Estella's world has been turned upside down, and the family is thrust into a heart-wrenching reunion. Told through the innocent eyes of a five-year-old girl, this is a story of a broken family struggling to protect one another from the cruel forces that have torn them apart. Will the innocence of a child be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or has time already sealed their fate forever?

~ Some days, no matter how I stop up my ears, I still hear the bell's knell... ~ This book of poetry explores and exposes my personal struggle, as I witness an entire society turn its back to avoid seeing how its behaviour impacts our fragile, beleaguered Earth. As unspeakably destructive consumerism lays waste to much of the planet's biosphere, humans are (ever so) slowly waking up to the harm and true cost of our way of life. We see yet refuse to see at the same time. We are loath to give up our creature comforts, our toe-hold in the climb for status, our relative sense of security, even though Life on the planet is threatened with irreversible harm, perhaps even annihilation. We've forgotten where we come from and no longer question the lie passed down to us from generation to generation. That we deserve to live like royalty at the expense of all other forms of life. That we are the ultimate Masters of the World. Holding on to this conviction, despite what we know in our hearts and minds, will soon send us spiralling into a chain reaction of disasters. As chaos overtakes our planet, we will rue the day we turned our backs and simply let it happen. What will we tell our children and grandchildren? Read at your own risk!!
