Born with a damaged heart, Leanna Weston has lived a sheltered life with little chance at adventure. When she hears that Finvarra's Circus is coming to her small town, she sneaks off to witness the magic first hand, sure that this is her only chance at experiencing true magic-even if the frightening rumors about the heartless Ringmaster, Finvarra, are true. Caught by Finvarra, Leanna is given one chance at survival: she must join the circus. As slowly she becomes part of the strange family, Leanna learns that there is more than magic to this circus, but an ancient curse that has tied Finvarra's life to its rings. If the circus fails, he dies. Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?

Zayne has found himself in the Zombie Apocalypse and fighting for survival has always been a priority above others. But whenever a maniacal, power hungry leader of a sick game captures Zayne and his new friends, he must continue his fight for survival. Can they make it out alive or become one of the putrid beasts that they must desperately fight for their lives?

Something has infiltrated the quiet airs of Marin's Dale. Something that has never been seen. Something that mere human minds could never fathom...

The girl who screams. The girl who hears her. The man who saves them both.

A series of poems of different styles, united by the theme of monsters. The first ten were my entry into the 2012 Attys. Audio performances can be found at the link below: http://soundcloud.com/jonnycastoardern/sets/monsters/

What if everything you know while awake and all that happened while you were asleep changed. If someone told you of a realm between the conscious and the unconscious filled with those who protect the human mind, would you call them crazy? That's exactly what happened to seventeen year old Jesse Johnson. All of a sudden he went from worrying about graduation and track season to saving the human race. Jesse was doing fine, good grades, great track season, good friends, and a star student, until he started having the same reoccurring dream with the same girl. He doesn't notice how weird it is till the new student Dianna Heartly transfers to his high school and looks identical to the girl in his dreams. As Jesse gets to know Dianna he learns more about himself then he cared to know and has a lot more responsibility placed on his shoulders then just college and graduation. Jesse learns of The Rebellion in which the main goal is one thing: kill the humans. Can Jesse do what's asked of him? Can he save the humans? And what will happen when his loved ones, like his sister Ami, are pulled into danger because of what he is?

In a nutshell, the title says it all. These are ridiculous poems that I made up and decided to post... Probably just to annoy people, especially Pickle!!!
