What if you met the man of your dreams but he was already married... to you? Jamais Vu is a time-traveling romance wrapped in a deadly mystery. Nessa is in the last year of her university studies when she begins to experience strange phenomena - waves of déjà vu, convincing her that she is familiar with places she's never been before. When she sees a bearded stranger, she is powerfully drawn to him, feeling as though she knows the older man already. But Dan is overwhelmed by the appearance of the beautiful younger woman, who is actually a youthful version of his missing wife. Nessa is somehow travelling ten years into the future to meet up with her the man who will eventually become her husband. Past and future become entangled as Nessa meets a young Dan in her present, while ten years in the future, Dan strives to save his wife from the clutches of a lethal serial killer. The clock is ticking as both a young Nessa and an older Dan attempt to keep the future intact, and restrain themselves from falling in love with the wrong version of each other. But is it cheating on someone if you're in love with who they are - just in another time?

Odashen. Kamdemahn. Giant's Bane. Oldest One. On the worlds of the Avatar Alliance I am called many names and I am considered many things. Some see me as a holy warrior with a purpose so powerful, not even Death can stop me. Others think me a tormented wanderer, driven mad by a horrible fate and left to travel the wastes for eternity. Yet others see me as a soulless creature of otherworldly vengeance, returning from the grave to wreak havoc on my enemies. From my point of view, I am ALL of these things. Yet, I am none of them. My name is Max Niekro and I am Risen. I have been summoned back from the grave for one purpose and one purpose alone. I'm here to kill Velkin. Join the Risen juggernaut in this sequel to Risen: Darklight and the third book in the Risen saga as he continues his quest to defend Earth and the living of the galaxy by taking his war to the stars, where he will face even greater challenges to his effort to rid the universe of the rapacious Velkin, a giant alien race bent on consuming every living sentient being they find before sucking out their home world's life force.

So, what's a Wattpad Wednesday? Well, the idea is to to get folk writing again, or challenging themselves to do something a little different perhaps. Some folk write long stories, some folk short. Some folk do poetry or drabbles, or simply don't write at all. But why not try and do something different, or simply jot down and idea? There's no wrong way to get involved in this, it's a movement, an idea if you will and the only thing that can happen is that you write something down. There is no such thing as a bad idea or a bad piece of writing on Wattpad Wednesday. Try it! Write it, tag it, post it! #Wattpadwednesday, join in and try something different

This novella was a Hugo and Nebula nominee twenty years ago. I lost both to Charles Sheffield -- whom I married five years later. Life sometimes really is just as strange as fiction.

Imagine if you found out everything you ever knew was a lie ...if you had to change your name and start over again, leaving everything you knew behind. If you found out those closest to you were part of the lie. What if your memories had been stolen? The memories of the boy you loved. Of your very first kiss ... what would you do? How would you react? Especially if you found out he was the one that stole them from you. How far would you go to protect those you love? What would you do to get them back? Only time will tell... This is my story. I only hope I get to finish it before it is too late. Too late for you. Too late for me. Too late for all of us. Because ... the end is coming, and I've been shown a glimpse of it. You might think this is just a story. But it is real. It's already begun and you need to know what's coming......

A thousand years before, lead by the Nines, the armies swept their shadows across the globe, decimating all in their paths right to the very foothills of mount Shagrii. It was there that the armies were obliterated by Shagrii herself, it was there that their reign of terror ended. A thousand years on, evil hides in the shadows as it prepares to returned to the lands once again, to bring forth its black, metal beasts of war and terror once more. Set in a fabulous world scarred by long forgotten battles, Armies of the Nines tells the tale of a boy who in losing his family, discover a world that he had never imagined. ''NjSternbergheyze's epic fantasy overturns the expectations of readers and then goes on to tell the story of both good and evil in a richly imagined ancient world.'' ''Fantasy literature has never shied away from grandeur, but the sheer mind-boggling scope of this epic will have you turning page after page.''

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com

In Fallujah, during a particularly difficult time in the Iraq War, a group of Marines are deployed on a tour that will bring them closer together, while threatening to tear them apart. The Delta Company Outlaws are a group of USMC infantrymen deployed in 2004 to one of the most hostile war zones in the world. Through the memoirs of one Marine, this touching story encapsulates the drama surrounding everyday life during the Iraq War. With a bond formed through blood, sweat, and tears, a group of unfamiliar Marines will come together stronger than family. Memoirs of an Outlaw: Life in the Sandbox is a dramatic new take on the Iraq War that focuses more on the personal aspects of war rather than exclusively on combat. With a touching approach to the camaraderie, daily life, and unfortunate losses, this enlightening memoir by Robert M. Tanner delves into the brotherhood that’s formed throughout a deployment while documenting the combat experiences and daily life of a Marine. Using personal experiences, this engaging story hooks readers with drama, action, and honesty while painting an illuminating picture of both the funny and tragic sides of war. Inspired by a bond that’s stronger than blood, Memoirs of an Outlaw began as a therapeutic way to document wartime experiences and eventually led to a full-fledged memoir. Deciding to focus on the daily life and camaraderie of war, the story captures the tension, drama, and bonding that comes with combat and living in a hostile environment far away from home. By focusing on the humanistic side of the armed forces, Memoirs of an Outlaw perfectly captures a unique moment in time during an extraordinarily challenging part of the war.
