ONC2025 Rafe Daring is not a hero known for his bravery. He is a farm boy known for being stubborn, cheeky, and doing things haphazardly, which always leads to chaos. When he flees town on his motorcycle, chased by the boy he'd turned into his nemesis, Rafe veers from safety to avoid his enemy. He ventures onto a strangled path through the forbidden forest, a vast stretch of access-restricted nature reserve bordering his family's farm. As with most of his decisions, this one also leads to disaster. Soon, Rafe finds himself injured and lost at the bottom of a steep slope, trying to find his way home. When he stumbles into a briar vine-covered wall, he decides that his only way home might be through what appears to be an archway clogged by vines. However, he is unprepared for what waits for him when he breaks through the thick, thorny briar vines. Finding himself in an increasingly dangerous and confusing situation, he realises that this time, he'd outdone himself in the art of making extraordinarily bad decisions. He has one question that stands out above all his other questions: "Who would be dumb enough to give an idiot like me superpowers?!" TW: Some chapters might have upsetting themes; reader discretion is advised. ONC2025 Prompt 1: You stumble upon a mysterious door made entirely of briars and thorns. As you step through, you're granted extraordinary powers. But with great power comes great responsibility - it's now your duty to save the crumbling kingdom. Word Count (WP Web) = 39 269

He's Irish Sass in a jersey. She's chaos in sequins. What could possibly go wrong? Galen McKenna has one rule: don't fall in love. Or fall over. Or fall at all, really-he's a hockey player, not a romantic hero. When the Irish wildcard lands a golden ticket to Crystalcrest Ice Hockey Academy, he's determined to finally get his act together, keep his past in the rearview, and definitely avoid screwing things up. Again. His plan? Train hard. Stay focused. No drama. Don't be a melter! Too bad nobody warned him about the glitter tornado on skates living in his new home. Hunter Fairlane lives to skate. She's got a championship to win, a promise to keep, and a skating partner who'd rather sulk than spin. But when Galen crashes-literally-into her life, the last thing she expects is for her heart to start skipping beats. She's skating for love. He's skating for redemption. When attraction sparks between the boy who's afraid to feel and the girl who feels everything, the ice might just melt under their feet. This stand-alone novel, featuring Galen McKenna, is a spin-off from my soapie, Hunting the Fairy Tale. No prior knowledge is required.

For the Slates, demon slaying is the family business. And eighteen-year-old Perrin has fully embraced her chosen profession. But when her sister, fifteen-year-old Ace, declares she's ready to join the cause, Perrin has her reservations. First of all, the case she's picked involves not one, but three demonic foes. A tricky proposition for any new slayer. Second, something eerily familiar lurks at the heart of the infested town. A red-eyed presence that may or may not be the demon who murdered their brother a decade ago. Third, Ace refuses to listen. To reason, to orders, to sense. And in this line of work, one false move can get you killed. Along with their exasperated father and an overeager grocery store clerk, Perrin and Ace set out to raise a little hell and bag a trio of baddies. But demons aren't the only ones to fear. A secret society has discovered their connection to an ancient bet. One involving their very souls. And as enemies close in on all sides, the Slates will need to trust each other and their training to stay one step ahead of the coming storm. Set against the backdrop of 2010 Middle America, Slate Gray is a nostalgic tale of demons, driving and destiny. Will Perrin sacrifice herself to protect her sister? Will Ace make a deal with the devil to bring their brother back? Only time will tell.
