Born in Poland 1933, lived in England 1939, dying in Australia 1962. The Tragedy of Izaak Levinsky is a self-reflection of the famous novelist's life, particularly of his year at Norwich School for Boys. In his feverish state, Levinsky writes about the struggles of being Jewish in an anti-Semitic world, the abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother, and the illegal love he felt for his best friend, Theodore Edwards. Oh, and a curse. But that's entirely unrelated. Right?

It all starts with An Eye for An Eye... Darcy James is the classic bad-girl, charming, and arrogant. She lives only with her dad and has a small circle of friends she's happy to keep that way. Outside that circle lay a trail of the desperate hearts of half the girls from school aching for affections she'll never willingly return beyond what they find between the sheets. Blaire Chase is a typical introvert. Outside of family, her only friends are the ones she's made from online gaming and the internet. The less attention in real life, the better. When they meet and hit it off, feelings are mistaken for habits, promises are made and comfort zones challenged. All status quo. But when Blaire experiences a life altering trauma, one she'll never fully recover from, and Darcy's past comes to call her away, will Darcy maintain her comfortable distance, or will Blaire push her away and return to cowering in the crowd? Or will Darcy and Blaire stay by each others side - despite the challenges - old and new?

Willing to risk her life, a seasoned soldier recruits a vengeful goddess to fight a war of the future. *** When UN Army Captain Akira Dunn is sent to investigate an outlandish legend, she doesn't question her orders. Realistically, she knows it's impossible that a goddess lives among them; even less likely is that said immortal is dead set on destroying the world's greatest enemy, Verus Rex. So when myth becomes reality, and she finds herself face to face with the goddess Danya, Akira begins to feel something she had forgotten over the last fourteen years of war: hope. Unfortunately, Concordia is far from an easy opponent, and the country in the sky seemingly takes pride in destroying the world beneath them. Danya's defiant personality, coupled with her sporadic outbursts of anger, doesn't help either, and it's Akira's job to keep the temperamental goddess in line. But Akira refuses to let that stop her. For the sake of their future, and for those that no longer have one, Akira intends to do whatever it takes to end the war once and for all. *** WARNING: This story contains depictions of suicide and violence that may not be suitable for some readers.

14 in fairytaleretelling 10/23/22 Princess Luna of Yaquir angered the wrong person. Now she's doomed to be a beast, as ugly on the outside as she is within, unless she can find someone to love her. At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either. This is a Beauty and the Beast genderbend, and the third book in the Light series. As with all of my books, it can be read as a standalone. It's rated PG-13 for language and violence. Updates will be every Saturday starting July 9
