    🦌 The Things He Sends🐦‍⬛ When Ghost's brother takes over the old family ranch in Chestnut Ridge, he disappears - until a crate shows up at base: packed with bourbon, strange photos, handcrafted blades, a forgotten book, and a beautifully made soft companion that was never meant for Ghost. The team watches as he unpacks it. One item at a time. What none of them know yet is this is only the first. Rural gothic. Found family. Haunted legacy. Soap talks to the dog. Rudy drinks the wine. Ghost remembers why he left. This is a big story what I mean by that is giant chapters ------- 📌 Author's Note (for readers): I've been thinking about this for a while. I write stories and never post them. I always come back to 141. I've written more fanfiction about them than anything else - all for myself. Never shared. This one felt different. So I'm posting it. Just to see how it does. Thanks for reading. I also might keep changing the name cause I'm not really happy with what I'm coming up with PS I've noticed that a lot of 141 fanfiction involving ghosts are usually romantic love stories at least on Wattpad well if you're looking for that, this is not it. This is more comforting, then romantic. Also, this may be a little more fantasy and I'm I know it's fantasy but my name is there may be some "interesting" horses that show up at the ranch eventually, you'll know what I mean when it happens.

    Sirens don’t fall in love with humans. For centuries it has been so… But Sirena is different. She lost her first love to sharks and a storm, cursing the islands that stole him from her. Times have changed and she must swim ashore once more, to the islands she once cursed. Gone are the boats powered by sail and steam – jet boats with GPS are now the order of the day. Enter Joe, the deckhand on the Dolphin. A handy man to have around when the lights go out. He’ll fix your generator and have the lights back on in no time, no worries. But can he seduce a siren? Or will she swim away before he can uncover her secret? A book about lobsters, beer and boobs, on some cursed islands off the coast of Western Australia. At least, that's how Joe tells it. For Sirena, it's a very different story. You'll never look at mermaids the same way again. ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> Author's Note: Ocean's Gift is a complete novel, which was published as an ebook in December 2012.
