"In the picturesque town of Willow Creek, where antique shopfronts and Victorian homes conceal whispers of a centuries-old curse, journalist Alex Ryder stumbles upon a cryptic message that sets him on a perilous quest to unravel the town's darkest secrets. As he digs deeper into the heart of Willow Creek, he discovers a labyrinthine web of mysteries that threaten to shatter the fragile balance between reality and the unknown. From the eerie, abandoned mansion on Ravenwood Hill to the mysterious, symbol-etched stones hidden in the town's ancient cemetery, Alex must decipher a series of cryptic codes and ancient runes that hold the key to unlocking the truth. But as he delves deeper into the shadows, he's confronted by malevolent forces that will stop at nothing to keep the secrets of Willow Creek buried. As the stakes escalate and the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, Alex finds himself entangled in a desperate race against time to expose the truth before it's silenced forever. Will he be able to unravel the tangled threads of Willow Creek's dark history, or will the forces of darkness consume him, plunging the town into an eternal abyss of terror?"

Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who's developed an unusual career specialty-helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes, to help them forget the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can't be covered up with a coat of paint. And when she senses that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret, she enlists P.I. Ethan Truax to find the truth. Working together, they solve the mystery . . . and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan's exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful, inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden within a house's walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn't really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him. Now, no matter how much she resists, Ethan may be her only hope-because the people she's been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves, her own past starts to shadow her every step-and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.

Angels and demons are whispering in the ears of humans, seeking to find their place in the cosmos. Life's cycling through other dimensions and cosmic portals connecting human thoughts to the life of animals, plants, and the stars. Are we aware of what part we play in eternity? What do we know about Earth and its energy? With angels and demons, bodies and minds, look at what we've created through this time line. What is before, and what is behind? Somehow and someway, we are all drawn together in this paranormal time. Whatever we believe, whatever we do, there is a reason for this cosmic story coming true, being brought to you in part by you and all the events life takes you through. It's all aligned in the stars, thoughts, and evolution's point of view. Take a journey through lives connected to the other side. See how yours coincide. No coincidence nor accidents, nor are we ever alone or able to hide from ourselves or our spirit guide. It's worldwide. Whether we like it or not, we're all tied together. If it's the end of the world, we all decide of the ways of war or together as allies. We have the choice to back the tide. The apparitions share guidance of their aftermath in their afterlife through faith and science, races and balance, urgency with patience, but we all have a death sentence. If this story can make peace with our past and presence, so can we, for a future of abundance, alliance, and ascendance. Connecting our stories, fantasies, and journeys, we live on in glory as we piece the puzzle together to see the bigger picture of our world within worlds forever.
