"You know, Des, I really wish I led an adventurous life-like... a superhero!" Quirky CSU student, Penn Benson lives a fairly average life. She has a fabulous roommate and best friend, a younger brother she'd do anything for, an annoying neighbor that always manages to get under her skin, and the best job ever! Working at POW!, Cardinal City's local comic shop, Penn can get her daily dose of all things superhero. As well as an eyeful of her not-so-secret crush. But one night, as she closes up shop, she discovers a hidden doorway that descends into darkness... What lies behind the mystery door? And what will Penn do about it?

MYTHOLOGY AND MURDER? Struggling high school student Athene Howard lives an ordinary life in blah old Duluth, Minnesota. At least, she thought she did. Her life is brought to a screeching halt when people start to drop dead - mysteriously. A crazed serial killer? Maybe. A feral animal? It's possible. But strangely enough, all the victims have one thing in common: Her. In the quest for justice, Athene is suddenly dragged into a divine grudge that runs eons deep. When she starts to peel back the layers of both ancient and personal history, she comes face to face with the greatest hunter ever known to mankind - Artemis, the maiden Goddess of the Hunt, herself. Artemis delivers Athene a heavenly order: correct a tragic and irreversible mistake or more of her loved ones will die. Only one thing is for certain - Athene Howard better pay her penance or else the silver arrows will start flying. - Perfect fit for Percy Jackson and Twilight fans!

When seventeen-year-old Thea Allen's small-town private school is destroyed by a tornado, her mother seizes the opportunity to expose her to new experiences and new people. Translation: Mom wants to put hundreds of miles between Thea and her forever boyfriend, Glenn. Thea's inner math geek is tempted by the college level courses offered at the Upper East Side prep school. So, she's almost relieved when Glenn encourages the temporary move to New York City--until he breaks up with her, convinced she needs to date at least one other guy before she can be sure he's The One. Frustrated and reluctantly single, Thea begins her last year of high school at Oscar Zachary, where she discovers her life has developed some disturbing similarities to a certain children's novel. But Thea's "Oz" isn't entirely wonderful. Her Auntie Em is the Wicked Witch. The "heartless" boy next door keeps trying to hook up with her. And Thea is having a hard time ignoring an intense attraction to Conner, AKA The Scarecrow--a haphazardly hot boy, who may or may not even be available. Now the girl with the plan--the one who's always known what she wanted--is losing faith in her carefully plotted future. |Cover images from a photo by Michael Brodzik from Unsplash|

They breathlessly describe watching a stunning sunrise tint the crystal clear sea pink and gold. They weave thrilling tales about the magnificent mountains they climbed, covered in deep, mysterious forests. They have endless photos of historic artworks and monuments to show you. Others go to TripAdvisor and leave one-star reviews about the miserable time they had, the horrible food they ate, and the local people they hated. These are their postcards. ~~~~~𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗥~~~~~ 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧𝘴, 𝘰𝘳 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴.

Eighteen-year-old cadet Lara Lorensky has one goal: to win the Selection, the only way people on Earth can ascend to NovaTopia, a utopia-like space shuttle orbiting the planet. Unfortunately, her longtime rival, Morgan Sánchez, also has the same goal--and their almost undefeated record in practices is Lara's biggest obstacle to victory. When an unexpected terrorist attack destroys Morgan's cyber arm, Lara's chances to win are significantly increased. But... what is the point of winning if her rival is not in their top condition? Plagued by guilt and a feeling she does not quite understand yet, Lara decides to help Morgan find a cyberlimb mechanic. As she ventures outside her sheltered bubble, Lara realizes that everything she was taught was a lie, including her identity. Perhaps the utopia she was fighting for all her life was also an illusion. Together, Lara and Morgan have a new goal: to find out the truth of Lara's identity--and the truth behind NovaTopia. {Part I COMPLETED!
