[I apologize for how immature this book reads. I wrote this when I was like 14 and haven't fixed it since. Warning: cliche plots and unnecessary cursing ahead] Bethany Ford isn't your average, everyday teenager. At fifteen, she's already mastered more than 12 fighting styles, mastered the art of street-conning, and is already about to live on her own. She can defeat and overcome anything. Well... almost anything. Just when Bethany hits the streets in order to get away from her abusive family, she drops into Gotham City. Literally. With the Motherbox, Bethany is able to travel to a whole new dimension; one that includes the Justice League and their sideki- I mean, apprentices. If holding one of the most powerful objects in the universe isn't hard to believe, meeting the Team is a whole different story. From Kid Flash's constant flirting to Superboy's continuous brooding, the Team fits together like a well-oiled machine, no matter how different they all are. Enter: the alluring, charming, and amusing Boy Wonder. Robin is filled with mischief and adventure, which is everything to distract Bethany. But will she be willing to trust him enough with her secrets? How far will trust go before it breaks? From living in the Wayne Mansion, starting school at Gotham Academy, and joining the Team, everyone knows that trouble is never far from paradise. The big villains begin to take notice of the spirited and talented new heroine. When a threat from the Light is revealed, can she afford to put all her trust in these new magnetic strangers and accept the Team's help? Or will the Light succeed in ensnaring Bethany? Will she ever settle in with the Team, or will they move on without her? Without further ado... a daring, bold, and heart-leaping novel. Prepare to get OVERwhelmed. [COMPLETED]

'In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take..." Ivy has walked Middle Earth for almost as long as the beginning of the land itself, surviving the world she was thrown into all alone, with no title. She has lived to see battles and wars throughout the course of time, never truly belonging anywhere or ever having a true calling. She thirsts for adventure, something to fill in the endless time that she will always have until the bittersweet kiss of death... So, it's no surprise when a familiar Wizard shows up, offering a quest, that she just can't pull herself to refuse. 13 Dwarves and a Hobbit make up the company for the long road ahead, each of her companions teaching her lessons. Ivy finds herself learning and evolving from these folk, letting herself feel included again. But will it last...? ~Credit to J.R.R Tolkien for creating this amazing world and story. Credit also to Peter Jackson for turning this great book into a movie trilogy, this of which is what my story is mainly based off. I understand that my story may not line up with Tolkien's history in Middle Earth, this is simply for entrainment purposes. Please enjoy x~

Tales of loathsome kings and prophesied saviors aren't so appealing when you are a royal bastard of prophecy... Evonalé Yunan is supposed to somehow free her grandmother's enslaved people, but she's merely a child, and her father is the powerful fire mage who subjugates the realm. She has therefore fled home, her half-siblings, and the father who really should've been her uncle. Unfortunately, it's the middle of winter. Fortunately, following her mother's directions has put her in another king's hunting grounds. To Evonalé's bewilderment, that king picks her up and gives her a place in his castle. The prince seeks her out to tease and befriend. Then one of Cook's daughters starts teaching her magic, and a scullery maid proves herself immune to poison. Evonalé isn't the only one with secrets. ----------- Followed by "A Fistful of Earth"

In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

THIS BOOK IS HAVING A FACE LIFT :D I have really grown as a writer and I want to make one of my bigger accomplishments even better. This will be a slow editing progress because I am in college, so there may be inconsistancies with story lines, missing chapters, and overall not making sense. Please be patient with me as we go through this process together <3
