Hazel

Hazel is a woman caught between dreams of peace and the harsh reality around her. She’s searching for stability, longing for a love that feels safe and eternal. When she meets Zac, she begins to believe she’s found it. But Hazel’s optimism blinds her to the storm gathering around her.

Zac

Zac is a man haunted by loyalty, grief, and survival. His closest friend Dante has always been more like a brother, but when tragedy strikes, Zac is thrust into a spiral of guilt and questions about his own faith. He wants to be the protector for Hazel, but his inner battles—and the danger surrounding his world—make it difficult to give her the peace she craves.

Jackie

Jackie, , is Hazel’s close friend and the wild card of the story. Struggling with bipolar disorder, she oscillates between moments of clarity and the pull of the streets. Her life choices often put her at odds with Hazel, and her presence in the story becomes a reminder of how fragile hope can be when chaos is always close by.

Dante

Dante is the heart and conscience of Zac’s world. His struggles and decisions force Zac to face his own demons. Dante’s journey, cut short by tragedy, reverberates throughout the book—his death becoming the spark that shifts everything, especially for Zac and Hazel.

By the end of Crossed Paths, lives are forever altered. Love grows, but so does danger. Hazel and Zac cling to each other in the wake of tragedy, Jackie teeters on the edge of destruction, and new players begin to emerge. It’s only the beginning of a saga where every choice has a consequence, and every crossed path leads deeper into the storm.

Welcome to the Clarksville Universe

The Clarksville Universe is a sprawling ten-book saga that blends faith, family, love, betrayal, and redemption into one unforgettable journey. At its heart, this universe follows ordinary people facing extraordinary trials—whether it’s the pull between street life and salvation, the weight of grief and loss, or the battle to protect relationships that seem destined to fall apart.

Where it all begins:
It starts with Crossed Paths, the spark that sets everything in motion. Friendships are tested, secrets are uncovered, and choices are made that echo far beyond one book. Every decision creates ripples that shape lives in ways no one sees coming.
https://www.wattpad.com/story/400937762-crossed-paths
New Chapters every Monday.

The Storm Gathers:
By Crossed Paths 2: A Storm is Coming, the universe widens. New characters like Ace, a man torn between his faith and his past, step into the spotlight. Jackie wrestles with her bipolar struggles, caught between hope and destruction. Hazel is caught up in love and bliss, blind to the dangers circling around her. Zac fights to carry grief while searching for healing he doesn’t believe he deserves.
Coming Soon!!!

What to Expect in the Journey Ahead:
Across ten powerful books, you’ll meet pastors, hustlers, dreamers, survivors, and broken hearts trying to find healing. You’ll see how choices ripple through generations. Some characters will rise. Others will fall. And in the middle of it all, the small town of Clarksville becomes a stage where destiny is written.

Why You Should Step Into Clarksville:
The Clarksville Universe isn’t just stories—it’s a mirror. It’s about faith when life feels impossible. It’s about second chances when you think you’ve blown them all. It’s about love, loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness. Whether you’re here for the drama, the romance, or the inspiration, you’ll find yourself in these characters and their battles.

Thank You for Supporting:
To everyone stepping into this universe—thank you. Your support makes this vision possible. Each like, share, and word of encouragement helps bring these characters to life. This is only the beginning.

Dante is the definition of a street soldier. He moves sharp, always two steps ahead, and everybody in the neighborhood knows his name rings weight. Quick hands, quicker mind—he’s the type who can flip a bad situation into a win before most even realize what happened. Dante’s grind is nonstop; whether it’s money, respect, or loyalty, he knows nothing in the streets comes free, and he’s willing to put in the work to get it.

He’s got a rep for being solid—never folding, never snitching, never backing down. People respect him not just ‘cause he’s tough, but ‘cause he stands on what he says. If Dante rides with you, you know he’s all in. For Zac, that means having somebody in his corner who understands the struggle, who won’t let him get swallowed up by the block without a fight. Dante’s not just surviving out here—he’s making sure his name leaves a mark.

Chapter 1 of Dante is available to read for free on Wattpad. Link is below

Jackie ain’t your average girl—she’s the type that walks in and the whole room feels her storm. One minute she’s laughing, showing love, the next she’s ready to flip the table if you cross her wrong. Life been heavy on her shoulders, and the streets keep calling her name. Some days she’s cool, calm, trying to keep it together. Other days, she moves reckless just to remind folks she ain’t to be played with.

She’s loyal to a fault—ride or die for the ones she loves—but that same loyalty gets her burned when people don’t give it back. Jackie’s heart is real, but it’s scarred. She wants better, she dreams bigger, but the chaos around her and inside her keep colliding. She’s a fighter though, always has been. No matter how many times life knocks her down, Jackie’s the type to stand back up, fix her crown, and come harder.

Zac is a man living with one foot in two worlds. On the surface, he’s successful — sharp suits, big money, respect in the bank and on the block. But behind the charm and confidence, he’s haunted by the choices he’s made: women he’s used, enemies he’s created, and a loyalty to the streets he can’t quite let go of. For the first time, Zac meets a woman who doesn’t fall at his feet — Hazel — and she forces him to question everything he thought he wanted. But temptation and violence follow close behind. Caught between his lifelong brotherhood with Dante and his growing feelings for Hazel, Zac’s story is about power, loyalty, and the dangerous price of love.

Hazel is a young woman of faith caught between light and darkness. On one hand, she’s the devoted church girl, leaning on prayer to carry her through, and on the other, she’s wrestling with temptation and the dangerous pull of Zac, a man she can’t seem to resist. When her brother Ace is gunned down, Hazel becomes the emotional anchor for her family, even as her own strength is tested to the breaking point. In the chaos of street violence, betrayal, and heartbreak, Hazel’s journey is one of resilience, forgiveness, and the fight to hold on to love without losing herself.
