SHE JUST WANTS TO ESCAPE FROM BEING HUNTED!
Her name was Aliyah. Her power was love, and his duty. It is what kept them alive. "If my love cannot overpower your duty, nor your duty my love - In the name of love, my name is Aliyah Destiny Demonica!" And she jumped. "No!" he howled as he dove for her, but They had already snatched her away into Nothingness, giving them the power in the knowing of her name, as it echoed throughout infinite miles of the emptiness.
Aliyah, the only human to travel the Otherland, the Lightness, the Darkness, the Nothingness, and the Forbidden. The Bylaws forbade any human that found their way there from ever returning, but since childhood, she's been able to resist their restraints and roam freely. Hunted in Otherworld. Hunted in Otherland. No memories of her travels, but something kept her going back.
She'd crossed the Forbidden, but only in that crossing did she set the path.
His duty was to protect her. He knew that now. And so he stepped into the Nothingness, of the purest of black and the starkest of silence, knowing that he'd never return in the absence of her. One could perceive that she'd been consumed by the Nothingness, but it only takes one to disperse of none, just as one microscopic mass will demolish the empty. And now there were two.

‘I’d spent my life fighting for those I was loyal to. Now, I just wanted to run so that my losses would never catch up to me. I never wanted to feel again. Everyone else had wound up together. I’d wound up alone. Finally, I felt the anger, right down to the core of me, shaking me, escaping in a scream so loud and so fierce it sounded nothing like me. I wanted to avenge my losses so that I could know it was all worthwhile, and everything I’d done and sacrificed would be worth it. This was far from over. I wanted revenge!’
Catina Salsbury returns in this action-packed dystopian thriller series (The Modules). Five years since The Reform, she’s intent on freeing everyone she can from The Modules, and figuring out those responsible for Intelligent Design, so that she can take them down for once and for all, while also wanting to fulfill her dream of being united with her twin sister, Kadrin, again, and finally being able to be with her childhood love, Charlie. Unfortunately, her loyalties to the cause and those she loves collide. Not just for her, but them as well.

Glimp$es -Free Sample Chapter
Would you pay a million dollars for a glimpse of the future at any time of your choosing? Could you handle it if you did? Dr. Paul Stevens is someone you’ve probably never even heard of, story of his life. He dreamed of creating big change as a Psychologist, but regression and invisibility are the marker of his life. The new therapy keeps everyone coming back, instead of healing them, but the Board keeps rejecting all his theories for effective therapy. He’s washed up, completely alone, horribly insignificant, and this is not how he’d imagined his future would go, so he decides to take his future into his own hands and create significant change to a few people’s lives, even if it’s not exactly legal.
He uses his own invisibility to headline this experimental theory of psychic design: a glimpse of the future. He follows the lives of young Michael, an aspiring millionaire realtor, Jim, a middle-aged middle-class bank executive, Claire, his college love, and John Whitman, the son of the late multibillionaire, Bill Whitman, while using mastery manipulation techniques to create an illusion of a future that could be theirs. What Dr. Paul Stevens didn’t foretell was just how much his own future would wind up intertwined with the successes or failures of their own.

BLIND FATE
She was losing blood, too much blood as it spilled out of the wounds on her chest, her stomach, her sides, her legs, her arms. Too many holes, too much blood, too much pain, too much weakness, too little time. All odds were against her, yet she continued to fight the unconsciousness that simply wanted to absorb her in its bleakness, its blackness, its painlessness, with a primal, animalistic intent . . . survival.She left a trail of red on white as she dragged herself through unpacked snow, burying her face in it here and there to quench the severe dryness of her throat. She was dying from a succession of 17 merciless stab wounds from a six inch hunting knife. She would die. It was inevitable. Yet she continued her painstakingly slow crawl toward some kind of life, all the while continuing to hear his agonizing shouts playing over and over and over again in her head like a broken record. “I love you. Oh God, I love you. I love you so god damn much!” READ MORE... |
Reviewer Janalee writes:
" Ms. Shampine uses her first person prospective to tell this edgy and envelope-pushing tale of one woman's fantastical sexual foray with a mysterious man that haunts her, straight into the realm of reality. Ms. Shampine wrote this story completely outside the box, in a way this reviewer has never seen done. What will Ms. Shampine pen next? This reviewer is definitely curious to know?"
