||OUTLANDERxVIKINGS|| Greenland 1406: In the dim sunlight of a rare midnight eclipse--when the moon shades the never-setting sun of polar summer--the last Vikings escape Greenland's frozen shores on a longship, leaving doors ajar and fires burning. They don't know where they're going but they know they can't stay. Left on the shore stands Björn the Bearslayer, covered in the blood of his fellow Norsemen. He risked it all for his love Gudrun, a seer who was forced into marriage with Björn's father. Now he's befallen with a curse sealed in bear blood and has become more beast than man. Greenland, present day: After a disastrous break-up, Saga escapes to Greenland, hoping a few summer weeks in the glow of the midnight sun will provide her with the respite she seeks. But instead, a mystical artifact etched with runes pulls her into the saga of Björn the Bearslayer. Alongside charming whale-safari guide Mikk, Saga discovers the truth about the last Vikings in Greenland. As Saga learns Björn's story, she realizes that she is not just a passive bystander to the unfolding narrative but the key to how it ends. Perhaps the beast of the past is still out there somewhere. Will she be able to bring a happy ending to a tragic saga six hundred years in the making and will she mend her aching own heart in the process?

SHORTLISTED FOR THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST. And thank you to @StoriesUndiscovered for adding this to their 'Tales of Adventure' reading list! Maisie has been lying to the world for years. In fact, she helps others lie, too. It's part of her work; people come to the tower, asking her to plant fake memories into their minds for them to relive and remember. All she asks for, in return, is for them to let her keep one of their memories. So, when someone offers her a memory of her twin -- her twin who is supposed to be dead -- Maisie is prepared to do anything to bring her back home. Even if it means undoing every single lie she has ever told. Thank you to @LateNightDelights from the @TreasureCommunity for the cover!

Annabelle hadn't wanted to burn the restaurant down initially. In all honesty, she had been in a good mood. The food smelled great, the weather was perfect, and the boy she had met on Tinder looked like an absolute snack in all his pictures. But then, he rocked up to the date half an hour late, without an apology. Worse yet, he didn't look anything like his Tinder photos. In fact, he looked old enough to be her uncle. Still, she has to admit that, while her date sucks, the food is tasty. Plus, the waiter is also pretty cute. Besides, when that same waiter offers her a hand in serving some revenge to her catfishing date, Annabelle just can't say no. Does this charming waiter spell trouble? Possibly. But, surely, once revenge is served cold, there is always room for dessert, hey?

I gotta keep this cool. I was in the Maze Runner. Not in my bed, and this couldn't be a dream. Could it? It was too real, too real. But I couldn't wake up, I was stuck here.'

The night of the accident changes everything for Nina, a 16-year-old girl from Minneapolis. All she remembers is hitting the freshly paved street, the name tag Ansley, and her mom running after the wailing ambulance. Waking up from a coma in a hospital bed and being told that she has Schizophrenia, pushes Nina into a state of denial and unacceptance. The only thing keeping her sane while being confined to the hospital is her blooming friendship with Kathy, who also has Schizophrenia. Together, they brave through therapy sessions, and the watchful eyes of the head doctor. When our protagonist and her sidekick are temporarily placed back into High School, Nina comes face to face with Conor. And as most teenage girls would, when confronted by a gorgeous boy, she develops feelings for him. When our duo is thrown back into the hospital, things start to get suspicious. From flower fields and holidays, to late night kisses and time ticking down, Nina is uneasy with the hospital workers, and maybe even the people she thinks she knows everything about. The hallucinations begin to take over Nina and Kathy's life and very nearly drive the two of them to a state of insanity. The workers at the hospital are not who they seem to be, in reality. Knowing who to trust is out of the question. Who is our antagonist? Who lives? Who dies? Is this all a fever dream, or something truly... demented? Will they be able to overcome the building pressure of the unwarned attacks and betrayals, or will the tick-tocking of the clock and clinically deranged staff run them down to their last unwitting days? AVAILABLE FOR ALPHA/BETA READS! RxR, CxC, VxV, SxS, and Reviews/Promotions are accepted! Complete with Preface, Author Note, EXCLUSIVE ROASTS BOOK REVIEW, 2023 Gloria Regali Awards Review, and FACE REVEAL!
