You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
- Anne Lamott

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
- Thoreau

We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.
- Dave Eggers

I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.
- Jorge Luis Borges

The Cool Type of Supernatural reviews
[Halloween Short Story] "It's a ghoul!" I whispered furiously into the phone. "That's not even the cool type of supernatural!"

Ikväll, Idag reviews

Fades in the Summer reviews
One-shot. They were best friends growing up, until that summer full of mistakes they couldn't fix. Now, he's the boy who never dates; she's the girl that all the boys cheat with. And they're both clutching onto the pieces of their sanity in the only way they know how.

Your Smile reviews
(Fades in the Summer spin-off - Dylan's POV) One-shot. I know she wonders how long love born out of guilt lasts. I don't know, but I wonder how long guilt born out of love lasts.

Maybe Too Late reviews
Complete. Friends make the best lovers, or so they say. I wouldn't know, because you don't feel the same way. Wish I'd seen this coming… but I'm three years too late.

Because We Believe in Fairytales reviews
One-shot. In all the movies, all the books, they like to wax poetry about how beautiful a romance between best friends can be. But what they leave out is the part about how letting go may be the hardest lesson to learn of all.

Hab Dich Lieb reviews
EDITED one-shot. When you leave town at the age of eighteen, there is usually a reason. Returning five years later is generally not seen as a good idea, especially when the townspeople subscribe to small-town racism and you're engaged to the enemy.

Blue Eyes reviews
One-shot. "What's wrong?" Before I knew it, he had placed himself squarely in my path. And – dare I say it – he actually sounded a little angry and hurt. "Why are you not stalking me anymore?"

Presumptions reviews
One-shot. She thought he was a stain on the family tree. He thought she was the perfect match for his snob-of-a-brother. Negative first impressions on a deserted highway at 2 A.M. ––and the worst part was, they could've had each other at 'hello'.
