**AMBYS 2024 WINNER** The Alliance's top galactic terraformer, Pelin Demir, uses state-of-the-art biotech to transform barren rocky planets into lush habitable ecosystems. Seeking escape from a dying Earth and a tragic past, Pelin has devoted a decade to serving the Alliance in the seemingly endless galactic turf war between post-Earth humans and powerful warrior lifeforms, the Karinja. Pelin's life of quiet order is thrown into chaos when her Alliance leaders inexplicably force her to train Midori, a surly rookie navigator. When a terraforming mission spirals into a catastrophic Karinja ambush, Pelin discovers the dazzling secret that Midori, and the generals of the Alliance, are desperate to keep hidden. Forced to navigate deep space, draconian Alliance protocols, and her own turbulent past, Pelin charts a galactic course to protect Midori at all costs from the Karinja assassins hunting her, and from the sinister Alliance generals aiming to use her as a weapon of war. Yet Pelin can't seem to protect herself from her growing feelings towards her abrasive protégé. As the conflict for galactic control reaches a climax, Pelin struggles to keep Midori, and her own heart, safe. 🥇AMBYS 2024 WINNER - SCIENCE FICTION 🥇First Place, Katana Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Lovely Valentine Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Gloria Regali Awards 2023, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Jamboard Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Hearts Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥈 Second Place, Aster Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Star Awards 2022, Science Fiction 🥇First Place, Misfit Awards 2022, Science Fiction Cover designed by @laylagriffin_

[ONC2024] Everyone can read minds except for Ethan Langdon. And Ethan Langdon has the dumbest (and cutest!) thoughts Lukas Hoffmann has ever heard. ____ Part one complete. Part two updating every Friday until completion (but already fully complete on my Kofi!) ____ Lukas Hoffman's life in Brambleburg is about as boring as you'd expect for a town where everyone can read minds. He's used to his routine of dusting the LPs at the record store where he works and helping out his grandma around the house. Nothing in Brambleburg changes. No one in Brambleburg changes. Until Ethan Langdon stumbles in with the soggy remnants of a paper map, asking for the quickest route to Berlin. Ethan, it turns out, doesn't have telepathy, and as aggravatingly inane as his thoughts are, Lukas hasn't felt the excitement of meeting a stranger since.... well, ever. And the more Lukas listens, the more he starts enjoying Ethan's cute thoughts about life, the universe, and Lukas's dimples. ____ Might bring to mind: "Cherry Magic" but set in a fictive European town where everyone except the love interest can read minds. ____ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2024 using prompts 8, 75, 82, and 85. 8. You start singing along to a movie soundtrack late at night forgetting that your window is open. Someone from the outside starts singing with you. 75. You awake in the middle of the night to a voice saying loudly "May the force be with you..." 82. You wake up on a seemingly ordinary day to discover that your thoughts are not private. There is someone else in your head with you. 85. "If you do that again, I'll throw you out that freaking window. What are you doing?" "Checking how high the drop is to see if it's worth it."

Amber hasn't had a good few years. Her father passed away four years ago, on her birthday, and she's been picked on ever since by some horrid bullies. But will the arrival of new neighbors, including the secretive Shay, bring love or heartbreak? Just a quick FYI, this book is a slow burn, so while there IS smut (or so I've been led to believe!) it might not be for a while. Note: There will be a lot of characters from Kiss and Make Up in this story, so you will get some spoilers if you haven't read that already. Also, the majority of the book is not in the POV of the intersex character (though they do get some guest chapters)

Nat Middleton has been training to be a world champion swimmer for years. After overcoming a childhood illness and the unexpected loss of her father, she's finally ready to compete in Paris in the 2024 Olympics. With a mother that defies common explanation, and a stunning new roommate that makes her think of things beyond the pool, her Olympic journey could end up being more than just about medals. This story has a lot of stuff going on. Fluff, smut, a little drama, smut, sports, smut, the usual. Enjoy! This will be a holiday release schedule. I will post a chapter every Mon/Wed/Fri, but then will put up bonus chapters on Halloween, Thanksgiving, every night of Hannukah, Christmas and New Years before everything is wrapped up on Jan 3rd (it is all written and scheduled, so this will happen automatically).

Amy and Paige had finally started their life together. Away from overbearing and homophobic parents, they had gotten married and moved to the Massachusetts shoreline to start their new life together.

But what will happen when they find out that Amy and Paige never left? Can both couples coexist?

Thanks so much to the wonderful @SohoDolle for the new cover!

"I'm sorry, am I hurting your feelings because I'm dealing with my mothers big news? Wow, I didn't even think to make sure your feelings were okay! How about you run to Noah, y'all have been getting so cozy since he broke his poor little arm!" Aspen flinches, her eyes flashing. "You know there's nothing going on between me and Noah." She says in a low voice. "But then again, maybe you're pushing me away so you can have a chance to run back to Seth!" She throws back, and I can tell she's done trying to help. It's immediately obvious that I pushed her too hard. All I can think to do is laugh, the sound short and bitter, void of any humor. "Stay away from me, Aspen." My voice is cold and hard, matching how I feel. One phone call, two broken hearts, and so many words she can't take back. What happened that night? What was going on inside Rylie's mind when she broke the one heart she promised to protect? From Her Eyes will be different parts of Rylie and Aspen's story in That North Carolina Summer, but from Rylie's point of view. Please let me know if you have a specific event or section of the book (even books 2 or 3) that you'd like to see from Rylie's point of view, I'd love to create more for this:)

Book 3 of That North Carolina Summer. What seemed like an exciting, love filled future for Aspen and Rylie is suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of pain and uncertainty when Rylie is in a life threatening surfing accident. As she's in a coma, Aspen struggles to understand why this happened to the love of her life, and wonders if she'll ever be able to answer the question Rylie had asked just before the accident. The only thing Aspen wants, is Rylie by her side for the rest of her life, as her wife. Is that still a possibility?

Book 2 of That North Carolina Summer. Aspen and Rylie's love continues to grow as they work to build their life together. The future looks exciting and promising, but will things along the way end up testing their love?

{GirlxGirl story} When Aspen Hart is sent to a Christian Surf Camp for the summer after her mom finds out her big secret, she does everything she can to not catch feelings for her roommate, Rylie Hansen, which gets harder and harder the closer they get. It should be easy to not fall for your best friend when you're at a Christian camp... right? Heads up: Story does contain some talk of abuse, self harm, mature content and language.
