Threshold Stories

A rock doesn't bleed. But when fourteen year old Alan Chandler wipes out on a lonely trail outside Kachina Village, Arizona, his blood soaks into a strange blue stone and something wakes up. By morning, his wounds are gone. By night, he's faster than he should be... and the "rock" is changing, growing lighter and smaller each time Alan sleeps, as if its purpose is being spent. Then a voice speaks inside his mind. Ru is an alien intelligence- stranded, trapped, and running out of time. The nanites now inside Alan's body can make him extraordinary, but only if Alan helps Ru reach the warship that's been lost in the asteroid belt for thousands of years. Alan has five days to choose: Keep the power and become the key to a war humanity doesn't even know exists... or walk away and hope the universe never comes looking for what he carries. Quantum Rock is a high tension YA science fiction thriller packed with first contact, buried secrets, superhuman abilities, and a choice that could cost Alan everything. Coming soon to Kindle Unlimited!

(a poem) When you cross the threshold, who knows what is on the other side...

It's 3077. The world's almost out of food and water. Population has skyrocketed to hundreds of billions. There is no empty corner on earth. Two options remain. Mass murder or inhabiting a foreign planet. Only one shot at both. There are signs of a cannibalistic virus. Witness the darkest period on earth as Jame Hope and others fight against all odds to save their loved ones.

"Some doors weren't meant to open. Some powers weren't meant to wake. Some boys weren't meant to be seen." --- In the dying industrial town of Harrington, Pennsylvania, sixteen-year-old Walter Hoffman has spent his life perfecting the art of disappearing. They call him "Dead-Channel"-the kid who doesn't blink, doesn't react, doesn't feel. What they don't know is that Walter's stillness isn't emptiness. It's compression. And something buried deep beneath the earth is about to turn the pressure up. When an abandoned mine coughs up an object that shouldn't exist, Walter's body begins to change. His skin fractures like porcelain. Light bleeds through the cracks. Objects around him destabilize, crumble, rewrite themselves at the molecular level. He is becoming something the world has no name for. And he's not alone. Desmond Cross has everything money can buy. A mansion built on a funeral home. A father who loves what he cannot understand. And a secret that would unmake reality itself-if he ever stopped holding it in. Desmond sees the threads that bind life to death. He knows who's meant to survive and who's already gone. He's spent sixteen years building walls so high no one can climb them. Until Walter looks at him and doesn't ask him to be anything. Now a classified organization called ENVOY is hunting them. Dimensional fractures are tearing open across Harrington. And something ancient is watching from the dark between worlds-something that recognizes what Walter and Desmond are becoming. Something that wants them to finish waking up. Because if they do? They won't just break the rules of physics. They'll break the rules of story itself. --- THE DEVIL'S SPINDLE Every reality has a breaking point. This one has two.

Do you believe in fate? Kayleigh Brown does. She believes that everything happens for a reason, that our lives are mapped out for us before were even born. She believes in fate so much that when she meets the incredible guy at the bar, she knows it’s not meant to be. This guy can't be meant for her because he's on his stag night. He’s promising himself to another woman, taking himself off the market and committing to someone else. Fate was just messing with her this time; if he was the one she was meant to be with then there would be some signs to show that. He wouldn’t be that easy to cut out of her life. But even when the signs start appearing, Kayleigh chooses to ignore them, going against everything she’s ever believed in her life. Instead, she tells herself that fate is what you make it, fate is about choices, and she chooses not to be with him. But is it really going to be that easy?

This piece captures a moment of hesitation - not a decision. It's written to reflect the quiet, looping space many people recognize but rarely describe.

She lives discreetly. She serves coffee with a soft smile, maintains her calm routine, and says little... but there's something about her that no one can explain. A gaze that weighs heavily. A silence that echoes. He was trained to deal with the unknown. A soldier accustomed to facing the worst in the world. But nothing prepared him for this woman with a presence that makes him uneasy. What begins as an investigation becomes a dangerous dance between distrust and fascination. There's something she's hiding. Something he needs to discover. But perhaps... the mystery isn't the only risk. Perhaps the greatest danger is what he begins to feel for her. Threshold is a story of unlikely encounters, long-held secrets, and what happens when someone who shouldn't exist... touches the heart of someone who promised not to get involved.
