A book of poems and short stories for those who are bibliophiles. If you like reading and books then you might like this one.

Forsaken by the one person who was supposed to love her unconditionally, Red must brave the magic and monsters of the Wylds to find her true place in the world. ***** Plagued by a weak heart, Red is an outcast in the Blood Moon Pack, a tribe of savage wolf-shifters held together by two things: their fanatic worship of the Night Goddess, and the ashwood walls that keep the real monsters out. Everybody must pull their weight. Only the strong are permitted to survive... Hunter Callahan, son of the Blood Moon Alpha, is counted among the strongest. Only Red seems to sense the vulnerability lurking behind his arrogant mask. Only she can understand the compassion underlying his violence; the boy who took a beating as a child to spare a butterfly from having its wings clipped. She saw herself in that butterfly. She sees herself in him. And he can barely stand to look at her. ***** [65-70k words] Best Ranks: 13th in #Werewolf 1st in #paranormalromance, #quest, #goddess and #dragon 2nd in #magic Featured on the 2021 Wattys Shortlist.

Chapter One of a story I started. I'm only posting chapter one to get some feedback so I can see what works and what doesn't. It was a normal assignment: "parent" an egg for two weeks to learn about responsibility. For Kyle, however, the end of the assignment brings about a whole new beginning.
