New and improved version of Hazel Fine Sings Along is now published as a Paperback, and E-book with W by Wattpad Books! As Wattpad reader you can read the original version and find the link to published version inside. ****** [COMPLETE] Lights! Camera! Action! Everyone feels like they're playing a part sometimes. But Hazel Fine has played so many roles, for so many people, she isn't even sure who the real Hazel is anymore...much less whether she still has a chance at achieving any of her dreams. When she lands an improbable audition for the competition show The Sing Along, she knows she has to give the producers what they want, because this is her last shot. If only she could figure out what that was. Of course she's going to sing her heart out, but should she let herself fall for Benji, the "Crowd Favorite," and give them a showmance they won't forget? Can she fend off the advances of the powerful celebrity judge without getting eliminated from the competition? And what about that incredibly grumpy musical producer, Nick, who is always criticizing her? Ok, he calls it "advice" as if he's trying to help. But he's driving Hazel crazy. When the curtain is unexpectedly pulled back on Hazel's past and all the things she has pretended to be begin to spill out into the spotlight, is there any chance the real Hazel Fine can still find what she's looking for?

[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.
