* 2017 WATTY WINNER!* Blurb: Humans are at the top of the food chain and always have been. But what if they weren't? What if another took our place and decided to raise and exploit us as we have every other animal on earth? Welcome to a world after humanity... No one is exactly certain where the sibla came from. Some say they evolved from humans long ago, slowly taking power as their numbers increased. Taller, stronger, and longer-lived, than homo sapiens it isn't too hard to imagine. Now humans must face a reality in which they are no more than animals, domesticated beasts bred for their master's various needs and hungers. Rachel Turner is only eight years old. Born in Demin, one of the last remaining free human settlements on earth, she has never been forced to face the reality of life under a sibla Master, living a carefree existence in her hidden village. Magnus Kendrick is a sibla farmer with a sizable estate on which he raises all manner of livestock, from chickens, to sheep, to...humans. He is also the man destined to purchase Rachel's life. *Warning: This book contains a certain degree of gore and disturbing themes Beautiful cover by @my_fairytale 2016 Fright Fest Gold Winner Cryptic's Choice 2017 WATTY Winner ( Story Smiths category) *All Rights Reserved

During the spread of the deadliest virus in 2054 Philippines, Santhy Gozon struggles to survive to reach the last quarantine. *** A sixteen-year-old student should be worrying about school, friends, girls, growing up-not battling the deadliest virus the world has ever seen, but Santhy doesn't exactly have a choice. This virus doesn't choose its victims-psychosis, paranoia, death-and the only way to survive is to go to the Last Quarantine. Aboard a public bus, Santhy and the other passengers fight for their lives. A virus this lethal and ruthless, a rate of 902 to 1,543 victims a minute...Santhy won't be one of them. At least, that's what he's trying to convince himself. DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Louise De Ramos

WATTYS 2020 WINNER | "The fantasy is bound to be just as it is. Our reality awaits for you."

Not until Exiquel Four-- in pursuit of finding her missing peculiar brother-- accidentally enters a portal leading to the dimension. She blends in to their world and become one of them temporarily. However, mysteries keep crossing her path the longer she stays. And before she'd be able to find her brother and return to reality, she would need to unveil the Orphic secret. But what if the reality that awaits for her is not the reality that she looked forward to? What if Exiquel Four Bellisima is the secret itself, and within her identity lies the true reality?
