* 2017 WATTY WINNER!* Blurb: Humans are at the top of the food chain and always have been. But what if they weren't? What if another took our place and decided to raise and exploit us as we have every other animal on earth? Welcome to a world after humanity... No one is exactly certain where the sibla came from. Some say they evolved from humans long ago, slowly taking power as their numbers increased. Taller, stronger, and longer-lived, than homo sapiens it isn't too hard to imagine. Now humans must face a reality in which they are no more than animals, domesticated beasts bred for their master's various needs and hungers. Rachel Turner is only eight years old. Born in Demin, one of the last remaining free human settlements on earth, she has never been forced to face the reality of life under a sibla Master, living a carefree existence in her hidden village. Magnus Kendrick is a sibla farmer with a sizable estate on which he raises all manner of livestock, from chickens, to sheep, to...humans. He is also the man destined to purchase Rachel's life. *Warning: This book contains a certain degree of gore and disturbing themes Beautiful cover by @my_fairytale 2016 Fright Fest Gold Winner Cryptic's Choice 2017 WATTY Winner ( Story Smiths category) *All Rights Reserved

(CURRENTLY REVAMPED!) (The Slices of Life, #1) For years, one thing that had always bothered Serena Wilton is the idea of reconciling with a past friend. Whenever he was around, her eyes rested upon him; whether it was at classes or outside of school. She yearned for those wonderful memories again, but the looming fear just wouldn't let her initiate the conversation. Serena clearly remembered how their paths crossed in that one field trip, and the instant click as they interacted. He was nothing but a sunny friend with such contagious confidence... until that accident. Not only did he turn into someone Serena never recognized, but the relationship they built together, soured and crumbled apart. Even so, perhaps her plans can actually work if she's willing to push that stupid anxiety away and speak a word or two. Piece of cake, right?

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

[DE GERMAN WATTYS GRAND PRIZE WINNER & TOP 25 HISTORICAL AWARD 2023] *The perfect first mission for two inexperienced seekers: a small village in the middle of dark forests. Gruesome deaths and mysterious events. Kyle is a self-proclaimed Master of the Arcane Arts and his partner, Dr. Archer has a well-loaded revolver. So what could go wrong?* "Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived; so let it be deceived!" Credo of the Order of Seekers London 1898. Where the summoning of spirits has become as normal as cricket and tennis, the boundaries between fantasy and reality are blurred. In high society, Occultism and membership in 'secret' lodges are the most fashionable thing in the world. A very exclusive group of this kind is the Order of the Seekers, which is dedicated to researching, concealing, and disguising the occurrences of the mysterious. Kyle Crowford and Dr. Benjamin Archer are newcomers to the Order, recent graduates of the initiation rite, and eager to embark on their first mission... until they find out that it will take them to the remote backlands in the middle of Dartmoor. In a world beyond the obvious, where magic can bend reality and nightmares can become true, the agents must face the mysteries surrounding the gruesome deaths in Dartmoor - ideally without becoming the next victims themselves. Because, alongside their secrets, there are unexpectedly dark abysses lurking in St. George. *** GERMAN WATTYS 2022 GRAND PRIZE WINNER EDITORS PICK DE APRIL 2023 TOP 23 WATTPAD HISTORICAL AWARDS 18 x FEATURED ON OFFICIAL WATTPAD PROFILES** 🥇1st End of the Year Award 2022 Paranormal Moonly Awards Mystery Bungou Grand Prix Mystery Sweet Waffle Awards Mystery Pink Cloud Award Mystery Pacific Awards - Mystery Blurb WSP&Hibiscus Award Fighting Scene Hibiscus&Auctor Award Antagonist Auctor Award Protagonist Pawesome Award Cover&Best Opening Chapter Lion Awards

Roseanne Hart is a quiet girl trying to make it through her last year of high school. She is super nice and tries to be nice to everyone. Roseanne is also blind. The sixteen-year-old girl has been blind for six years due to a bad car accident that happened when she was ten. Although she may be blind, she moves around like she isn't so at times it's hard to tell. Roseanne lives with her overprotective uncle and two older brothers. This is her last year at Eastern High, so she just knew it was going to be a normal and relaxing year. But oh how wrong she was. Her brothers told her to watch out for Ace King. Apparently, he's a guy you just don't want to mess with. They also told her that when he is around everyone goes silent sometimes because he's such an unpredictable person. It only takes seconds before he just snaps. Either for a reason or just for his entertainment. Roseanne brushed it off as just school gossip. Everyone has something to say about everyone. But Roseanne wasn't expecting to actually experience anything her brothers or anyone else was saying. But it was an odd silence later and then she ran right into his arms. Will Ace like Roseanne? Will Roseanne like Ace? Or will all of Ace's secrets overwhelm her? * * * * * * * Highest Ranking : #1 in Typewriter // 12-19-20 #16 in Shy Girl // 12-19-20 #2 in Blind Girl // 12-19-20 #5 in Temper // 4-18-21 #16 in Roseanne // 4-18-21 #2 in Smoking // 5-29-21 Cover By: Eyonna Hayes (Me) © 2020 - 2024

Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!

How about we play a game of survival, just you and I? Secrets? Past? Lies? Desires? Framed for homicide and mass murder, Shane Rivers has been on the run for a year, accompanied by his best friend, Alyssa White. She would go to any lengths to protect him, for he is the one person she has ever let truly see her. As they tread down a path veiled by danger and deceit, hunted by elusive and unseen assailants, the stakes are higher than ever-because losing him means losing the only person who has truly seen her for who she is and embraced her vulnerabilities. But stirring trouble down in the underworld had dragged Shane into a vortex of deception and betrayal, falsely accused of crimes he never committed. With a target painted on his back by those who know no limits, his existence has become a relentless fight for survival. But with Alyssa by his side, he hoped they could weather any storm that came their way. Determined to exact vengeance on those who have twisted their lives into a nightmare, she vows to make Carl Tristan and his worshippers pay. But what is life without its twists and turns? She knew her existence could never be rainbows and glitter. One tip-off is all it takes for Alyssa White to be branded a suspect in Shane Rivers' case. As the stakes rise, something sinister lurks beneath the surface, poised to make her suffer, waiting to annihilate her miserable world. Poor Alyssa, trapped in webs spun by those above and beyond, like a tarantula displayed for all to watch. What choices remain for her? Weave lies upon lies, as she has always done? Or face truths that could tear her apart? Or, perhaps, surrender to the allure of forbidden desires? Maybe she's the one meant to be devoured. Times, days, places and outcomes-all entangle in a knot of fate. In this passionate tale of love and hate, torture and dominance, the only thing that matters in the end is Who will stand tall when everyone else falls? Only time will tell. (ONGOING)
