I started posting a WIP. I have several scenes written, and a few more planned. It started as a short story, and turned into a Novella. Not sure what the final length will be.
Since I have the ability to cue posts on Wattpad, I have set a schedule for every Friday at 12pm PST. Here is the link if you’d like to follow me there.

If you prefer, I will also be posting on AO3. Those won’t necessarily be on a set schedule, but I will try my best to keep it updated as things are released on Wattpad. You can follow me there by clicking on the title of the story below.

Summary:
At the age of nineteen Anna decries the world after her brother, Charlie, is murdered trying to protect her. With the permission of her parents, she moves into Charlie’s house. While her parents hope this will help her heal, Anna instead locks the door, and doesn’t leave. Two years go by without incident until one day her mother forces her to attend a group for trauma survivors. This is where Anna meets Ezekiel. Ezekiel is nothing like Anna. His scars are right there, on his face, for everyone to see. A topic of conversation, or quiet whispers. But over time Anna begins to think her scars might not be so different, even if they can’t be seen. Will Anna finally be able to heal the wounds that have controlled her life for so long?
While my lit fic tends to deal with topics that may be triggering to some readers, I do try to keep things tame, and do not get into any sort of graphic detail or descriptions. I always try to err on the side of caution, so even if something is mentioned as a small detail, I will still trigger that with a content warning, as I don’t want anyone to be caught off guard.
Anyone who decides to check it out, I hope you like it, and really appreciate any feedback, so I can continue to grow and improve.
Much Love,
