WARM BODIES meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB meets ZOMBIELAND in this YA apocalypse story full of fluff, comedy and humans biting back. ✿ "When I imagined my high school crush would be dying to eat me, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind." ✿✿ Ava Sterling never expected she'd be the one solution to the zombie apocalypse. Then again, she never expected she would end up biting one of them either. But, hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. During a moment of intense panic, Ava's teeth end up firmly lodged in the arm of her old crush, now turned very much zombie. A spur-of-the-moment impulse that even drowning in mouthwash wouldn't erase. After this impromptu bite, Gabriel the zombie turns back into Gabriel the human and the zombie apocalypse suddenly takes a completely different turn. This not-so-fun revelation changes everything for Ava's ragtag group of survivalists. Tensions are higher than ever. Feelings are getting in the way. And it seems that being newly re-humanized does leave some nasty mental side-effects on the previously zombified. Still, not everything is that bleak for Ava and her survivors. For one, it's finally time for the humans to bite back. ✿✿✿ ACHIEVEMENTS: 🏅ONC Round One Winner, Ambassador's Pick & Shortlister WARNING: There is occasional swearing, some gore, and lots of laughs.

Nora Abraham isn't a hero. In fact, she's far from that. A red-headed spitfire who is-WHOOPS- a descendant from a long line of telepaths, Nora never had any interest in the world of heroes, a world that her father has long been pressuring her to join. Until she received a letter from the Aurelia School for the Wicked and Vile, the number one villain school in the world, Nora didn't even consider going away to hero boarding school, let alone train to be a villain. But her mother's disappearance had something to do with Madame Aurelia, the wicked, never-seen-by-any-of-her-students, headmistress. Nora is pressured to go by her father, armed with nothing but her wits and the foggy memory of what really happened that day. The time is running out for Nora to find the truth. The deepest secrets of the oldest school in the world bombard her at every turn. Can Nora find the truth before whatever got her mom gets her next? COVER BY @IceBlueShadows who we do not deserve

A bastard by birth and orphaned at twelve, Charles has learnt to fend for himself in 1660s London. Homeless, he seeks shelter for the night in some canvas aboard a barge on the Thames. In the morning, he tumbles awake when the sail is hoisted, and the captain presses him to work as they move away from the wharf. Trapped, he sees no option but to follow orders. Captain Bryson likes his sharp mind and eagerness, and he offers him a job aboard with food and shelter. Charles wonders how he'll be able to repay this kindness, and he strives to do his best, lest he be set ashore, again homeless. Charles drives himself to learn and gain experience and to remain in the captain's favour as their adventure grows far beyond the barge, but his insecurity continues surfacing. What will it take to give him the confidence his natural abilities deserve? Written for ONC 2021, this story was selected for the Shortlist, and after the contest, I expanded it into a full-length novel. It serves as a standalone prequel to the Wattpad-featured and Ambys winner, Zeelandia.
