Self-absorbed college student Bryden Stalling believes he's the most popular person at his school. Handsome, flirty, charming... and the campus player who has dated far too many girls. In reality, however, no one can stand him---and everyone hates his guts. After his girlfriend dumps him, he finds an ancient Chinese ring on the sidewalk that holds a genie inside! Bryden is excited at first, eager to use his three wishes. However, the genie refuses to grant him any wishes! He claims that Bryden is too selfish and narcissistic, and must earn his wishes. And in order to earn his wishes, he must change his ways. Frustrated, Bryden begrudgingly tries to become a better person in order for the genie to grant him his three wishes. As the pair spends more time together, the genie lets his guard down and opens up about his dark past. Meanwhile, other forces are looking for Bryden's ring... and they may be connected to the genie's past. *Updates every Saturday at 2pm EST

Arin Rayne manages to piss his parents off enough to send him halfway across the country to a strict summer camp, where he meets Blake Hayes-the perfect Southern boy: attractive, hardworking, and faithful. Can our city-born delinquent resist the allure of a country-grown farm boy for a whole two months? ... Kissing a guy was the last straw for his parents. Not skipping class, driving without a license, or being caught in bed with a girl-go figure. Now Arin is officially shipped (read as: sold off) to Spirewood Church Youth Camp for Troubled Teenage Boys, in a quaint town in the middle of Texas, miles away from his metropolitan city life, to "straighten him out." Now he's waking up at ungodly hours to fetch eggs and attending Sunday classes, only to be chastised and preached at about resisting temptation and whatnot. Of course, Arin is too busy staring at-and fantasizing about-the most handsome guy in the county to pay attention to sermons... Blake Hayes is the town's local heartthrob, with wheatish-blond hair that glows like a halo in the sun, contrasting with his tanned, muscular chest, and a baritone laugh that settles over you like fresh orange blossom honey on toast. ...who also happens to be the son of the camp director, who hates Arin's guts from the moment he steps into camp. Well, this forbidden romance can go one of two ways: badly-or very badly. *Updates every saturday Disclaimer: The art on the cover does not belong to me.

★𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐘𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐊 - 𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐋★ As Poll and Eujae, they can't stand each other. As Ten-Ten and Gaele, they care for one another. Art major Apollo Helios Torres and business student Eujae Nigel Castillo have been clashing with each other since their first day of university. They've been arguing for so long that they both believe there's no chance for them to be in good terms even in another universe. Unbeknownst to them, they have been getting along just fine in the internet world. 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦. 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦. Is it possible for a person to adore someone they've always disliked? One has to be insane to think that it is. But then again, Fate always manages to create some crazy twist. Content warning: swearing, a few (maybe two or three) sexual innuendos throughout the book, and discussion of certain social issues. Nothing explicit. Nothing that would warrant a change of rating to mature.

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, and also on the @fantasy profile]

[ONC 2024 Longlister] [2nd place Pride Awards 2024 winner] [Fantasy Winner of the EC Fiction Awards 2024] [Pride Shelf November 2024 Book of the Month] [3rd place Rose Gold Awards 2025 Best Action Scene winner] From the Forest, all life sprung. And to the Forest, it may return. Umirin's people have lived within the ancient, powerful Forest since they had sprung to life there many generations ago. They respect the land they live off and worship the Heart of the Forest, the divine beast who sowed the seed it grew from long ago. Since its creation, the Forest had grown mighty. It is eternal. It is home. At least it had been, until a great tragedy many seasons ago changed everything. Now Umi's nation lives above the forest, in houses built on beams, to escape from the roaming beasts below known as Soulbiters. They are dangerous and deadly, but rooted to the Forest floor, only able to burrow through the soil. Above the tree tops, the people are safe from them. But man is not made to live floating in the clouds, and there are times when they have to travel to the ground. These trips are done by the best warriors and hunters, but encounters with the beasts are inevitable, and lives are still regularly lost to their curse. When Umi's beloved husband Shani is grabbed by the Soulbiters, he is prepared to do anything to save him from the gruesome fate that awaits if he is bitten. Anything at all. Even strike a horrible bargain with the beasts.
