When an arrogant billionaire, RAYMOND SINCLAIR, double-crosses the sinister military industrial complex, he discovers the beautiful intern he recently fired, EVELYN SIMMONS, holds the key to saving his life and his company. *There is an expanded version of this story on my profile that is more polished. 'The Asshole App Expanded Version'. *****Author's note. Story contains Mature Language and Sexual References***** My beautiful cover was made by @myie_laura 's Love Graphics Shop. Featured on the #Badass Reads Badass King's reading list No. 1 in the Jam-Board 2022 General Fiction Category. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Excerpt from "The Asshole App"- "Baby, I got your text. Now, tell Mama Dee what happened." "My boss, Raymond Sinclair, that's what happened! He's a jackass." Evie gulped air, swallowing bile. "He humiliated me in front of the entire staff this morning." Struggling to breathe, she held her midriff. "I feel as if I've been punched in the stomach." "That asshole!" Deedee's voice was muffled behind the menu as she checked the specials. She lowered the shiny, laminated cardboard. "I told you the man's a soulless billionaire. I don't care how many smart phones or self-driving cars he's sold. Or how hot he looks on the cover of Time. He's an insufferable ass." Suggestively, she laid an exquisitely manicured index finger against her cheek. The jungle-colored nail was painted with tiny, fornicating leopards. "How are you going to get back at him?"

"Are you fuckin' serious right now?" Whateley asked with a look of befuddlement. "Just because you teach about the occult, doesn't mean you believe in it! Ok, maybe some folks who teach it do, but I was just into the history of it. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that one of my ancestors was the the actual offspring of Yog-Sothoth!" On a seemingly ordinary day, a young man slowly walks the streets of Arkham, Massachusetts; he also happens to be naked and covered in blood. Detective Theresa Gardener is brought in to investigate a grisly crime scene, which is connected to the bloodied suspect, with whom she has history. This leads to a meeting with a professor at Miskatonic University, where the strange and unusual go hand in hand. WARNING! Story contains adult language and descriptions of violence and horror. Reader discretion is advised. So this is my first non fan fiction related story I published on here, although it is heavily inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Hope y'all like it!

I hate writing about myself, but here I go. My name is Josie. I like long walks along the beach, drinking red wine, figuring out how to cook salmon, watching YouTube videos about astronomy and getting iced coffees from my local farmer's market on Saturday. Oh, and I have to save all of humanity. Yeah, it turns out that being the second coming isn't fun at all. And trust me. I would know.

Two hundred years ago, climate change and natural disasters drove humanity Underground, forcing them to survive on limited means.

An unknown illness sweeps through the Caverns, threatening to kill the population if a cure is not found. The Council assures the people everything is alright; that this is nothing more than a strong yearly virus that will run its course. Kanden isn't convinced. After a string of questionable deaths, he investigates the source, leading him to a shocking discovery.
