If you stared at the stars long enough, would you notice if one, out of the endless, were to vanish? If a ship were to be taken by the sea, would anyone hear the crew's screams? When the stars whisper your name in their absence, will you heed the call? Or will you let them burn just like you always have? --- This is the first book I'm actively trying to write thanks to the encouragement of my family. I hope you enjoy this little read during its progress and once it's completed. :]c -Bonnie --- [ONC 2026]

What do you do when the girl of your dreams lives next door, but she hates your guts and will never see you as anything other than her best friend's annoying brother? You make a brilliant plan; that's what you do! This is a story about becoming friends and falling in love one crazy moment at a time... and having loads of fun along the way. Friendly Dating - Kira is written from Kira's point of view and can be read before, during or after this one, but they do contain some spoilers for each other.

When life becomes too hard to bear alone, someone comes along to bear it with you. Cody wasn't supposed to end up here. Not in this quiet farming town. Not on his grandmother's dairy farm. And definitely not sitting on a fallen tree in the middle of nowhere, wishing he could disappear. Then she finds him. A girl dressed like a walking burst of colour, marching straight out of nowhere and into his solitude. She talks like she knows him. Sits like she belongs there. Holds him like she's not afraid of the broken parts. He thinks she might be a hallucination. She's not entirely convinced he's real either. But when they meet again days later-under fairy lights, strange traditions, and a town that celebrates life in the most unexpected ways-neither of them can ignore the pull between them. Because sometimes, when the world has taken too much... you don't need answers. You just need someone to sit beside you in the dark. Genre: Romance/Humour This is a work of fiction.

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.

Kira has a system. It involves observation, data collection, and very clear rules, especially Rule #1: Do not let Ethan Fletcher get too close. Which shouldn't be a problem. Ethan is loud, chaotic, and deeply committed to being the most annoying person in her life. He climbs things he shouldn't climb, says things he shouldn't say, and does things he shouldn't do. Now, for reasons that are still unclear, he has a project he swears only Kira can help him with. There's a spreadsheet. There are rules. There are objectives. (There are also several suspicious attempts to add "kissing" to all of them.) Kira is determined to keep things under control. Friendly. Logical. Safe. Because Ethan is... well, Ethan. The guy next door. Her best friend's brother. The son her father never had. Practically family. Definitely not someone she wants to kiss. Right?

When Willow Mayfair's life falls apart, her mother brings her to Briar Cove, the coastal town where she grew up. Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. This story is for everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty. "Grab a bunch of broken misfits, chuck them in a tribe, add some glitter and loads of weird-ass garbage, voila, you've got yourself a fairy tale... kinda... just... you know... minus the fairies..." Paisley Davenport This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. I might break it up into volumes later. This book is ideal for forgetting the world and becoming best friends with the characters. Please Note:- I'm currently rewriting this story to edit and enhance parts. I'm also breaking up long chapters. Though the reading flow will not be broken, the chapter numbers will become out of sync at the border between old and new. ♫ Genre: Slice of Life/Romance/Humour This is a slow-burn journey through love and life, filled with an array of beloved characters, their sad moments, happy moments and a multitude of bat-sh#t crazy moments.
