I know I may have done a lot of making introductions to books I'll one day write so here is a summary instead: BTW, this is for peeps who like among us and murder mysteries, Maura H. Clover has always been a gentle soul. One day, Maura finds herself walking to school with bloody hands, and she found herself passed out previously. The same day, her friend Apollo mysteriously is dead, and the blame is put on Maura. Maura figures out a dark secret hidden in her. can she use it to figure out WHO or WHAT killed Apollo, WHY she has her power, RESURRECT him possibly, and SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT before it is too late, or will the Police get her? In my novel, Lone Star, readers will learn the importance of honesty and bravery.

Hey guys. Ashley here. On Friday I experienced the most pain I've ever felt. No, I didn't get hurt. Only my heart did. I don't want to talk about it, please don't ask. But I'm going to to a guess the song challenge. Here are some of the lyrics: I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one. I hope you enjoy and I hope you like this song. Tell me what song you think it is and what you think of it in the comments. Thank you for reading, it means a lot.

I'm so sorry that you were in pain. Hopefully something good will happen soon to make up for it.

Something good did happen, it was that my friend from school helped me communicate with them. I will be putting a post about it since I feel better, so I can talk about it now
