Horner Paranormal

Solving mysteries and fighting monsters. Protecting people, magic and mundie alike. That's the job of the Horner PIs, a group that fights and helps the hidden paranormal - and are a little paranormal themselves. *** Danny Rye has been able to see and talk to ghosts for as long as he can remember, but for most of his life, it was more of a curse than a blessing. Margot Queensbury has strange psychic powers, and while they do come in handy, she prefers to rely on her karate skills. Jake Tassel-Chastain is a genius at combining modern technology with magic and the paranormal - he's also bound to a mysterious dark power that he really doesn't like talking about. In the sleepy town of Wolfden, Montanta, the Horners pick up a fourth member: Camila Castillo, a bonafide and powerful witch. Together, they travel the country in Margot's old van, helping whoever (and whatever) they can, solving mysteries, keeping secrets, and finding a family amongst each other. But of course, things are brewing in the paranormal world, plots and schemes from powerful people, and our ragtag twenty-somethings will undoubtedly get wrapped up in it all. Follow the Horner PIs as they go up against mages and demons, werewolves and vampires, fairies, ghosts, and plain old humans, all while doing their best to stick together and unravel their own pasts. *** This is the first "book" (novella, really) of my Horner Paranormal series, which was inspired by media like Supernatural, Paranorman, Coraline, Practical Magic, X-Files, and Ghostbusters.

Reverberations from the past.

"What do you see when you look at me?" Vanessa asked, as she stared tearily at Raymond. "Broken? Hurt? Mad? Dangerous?" "Vanessa. That's all I see. I see you, Vanessa" Raymond replied shortly, as he bent on his knees to caress her cheeks. "A vulnerable Vanessa?" she asked "No. I see Vanessa, a woman struggling to make things right" he replied honestly. "I'm sorry I dragged you into this. I'm so sorry" she said almost in a whisper, but he heard her due to their close proximity. "You didn't do anything wrong. I should be apologizing instead. Vanessa, I..." "Stop, Raymond! Just don't. I can't even look you in the eyes" she said as she looked down. "You lost almost everything because of me. I'd understand if you blame me. But please don't apologize to me" she said as she wept uncontrollably. Raymond pulled her into his arms, kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. "I'd never blame you, Vanessa. Never" "Raymond, can we start all over again when all these end?" "No..." ***** Aida grew up in a lovely home, with mother out of the picture. She always longed for a mother and often questioned, Raymond Michaels, about her mother, wanting to find out; who her mother was? her personality and other significant details. Raymond humbly cleared all her doubts until she coincidentally stumbles upon her mother's identity. Vanessa paid a visit to Westland, the city where she grew up with the hope and determination to mend everything she's broken. But soon found herself as well as her loved ones in danger. Faced with a tough situation, Raymond made a decision that changed his entire life. No matter how hard his life was, he found himself yearning for one thing, Vanessa; his pride, his weakness, his mistake. ***slow burn*** Romance may not be intense.

Mine: All I've got

Close your eyes." I heard a sturdy voice say. "Feel it within your breath. Find it with your heart. Listen to its rhythm and follow" the voice continued. I felt a strong hand move along my hands and up to my shoulders. "What can you see?" the voice asked clearly. "A man!" i said fearlessly. "How far away is he?" "A few meters away" "That's it!' the voice continued. "This is your calling" the voice began to echo and seemed to diminish. "Wake up! It's time to meet your father. Make sure to apply enough oil on your skin and do well to use the clothes on the table at the entrance" my grandmother said. "Ok, Nana" I sighed. I knew he was going to talk about marriage. Maybe another suitor had gone to him to seek for my hand in marriage. It was all a dream. Who was talking to me in my dream? The figure of the man I saw in my dream was blurred. I couldn't see his face. He looked upright from where he was. I liked his physique. But it was all a dream. Wait! Why is that my calling? I wish I could get back into my dream and ask. Why did grandma wake me up so early? Anyway, I have to prepare to meet my father. He sent his word to me the previous evening that he would want to meet me. After bathing, I applied enough oil on my skin and wrapped my breast and waist with the pieces of cloth. I set off to my father's house, which was a few meters away from where i lived. **** Romance may not be steamy. NB: All characters and storyline are fictions. NB: Novel Cover isn't mine.
