An acclaimed, award-winning thriller, published and translated around the world, now freely available on Wattpad. Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away. The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know. Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable... Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Reviews "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... A pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times "Anyone would enjoy Evans' clever, relentlessly absorbing debut thriller that becomes a lot more than just another serial-killer mystery." - The Ottawa Citizen "In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure across five continents ... (a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly

When Kreea and her family move to Stettlar, everyone is skeptical. They're different, but most of all it's Kreea they aren't a fan of. Especially Johnathan. But only at first. Soon Johnathan comes to understand and like the complicating and fun-loving Kreea. And as people begin to know her, a lot of them seem to love her for who she is. But some of the parents seem to know something Johnathan doesn't, and treat her differently. Even once Johnathan understands, he wishes he didn't. Things become hard, but somehow more enjoyable than ever before.

I was definitely a fan of Jessica Sanchez and Colton Dixon (AI season 11) before I became a ColtJess shipper. I already had my hands full in doing layouts (like the cover) and vids about them, but when I stumbled upon the fanfic thread, I decided to give it a try knowing that I'd been wanting to write a story, even a short one. Since it's a fanfic, there's no reason for you to get upset that the story started out with Jessica just 16 and Colton 20. Well, I do hope you enjoy reading my fanfic and I definitely welcome your valuable comments and suggestions. Thanks! P.S.
