High school was supposed to be a fresh start. For May Osborne, it became a battlefield. One confession turned her into a target. Her friendships shattered. And the person she trusted most-Zack Dalton-stood by, watching as everything fell apart. But May refuses to be defined by whispers and stares. With her love for music, her quiet resilience, and a circle of unexpected friends who remind her of her worth, she's determined to rise above it all. Still, the past lingers-etched into every hallway, every silence, and the familiar boy with cat-like green eyes who once felt like home. This is a story of perseverance, healing, and self-discovery. Of learning to stand tall when the world tries to tear you down. Because sometimes, the hardest battles aren't fought with fists or words- ...but with the courage to keep going. 🏆 Story Milestones: ✨ Ambys 2025 R3 Qualifier ✨ Ambys 2025 R2 Qualifier ✨ Platinum - January 2025 30DC ✨ Platinum - February 2025 30DC ✨ 8CC - January & February 2025

Clean Young Adult (Rated mature due to themes including labor camps, starvation, and gun violence) Pangaea: While the Earth Burns follows Alex, a sixteen-year-old thrust into an impossible situation. On a dying Earth, where relentless heat and dwindling resources push humanity to the brink, Alex's mother makes a heartbreaking choice: signing him over to the government's Relocation Program in exchange for vital food and air vouchers to save his younger sisters from starvation. Promised a fresh start on Pangaea, a newly colonized planet, Alex instead finds himself trapped in a brutal labor camp designed to exploit the vulnerable for the colony's gain. Survival demands submission, and fragile alliances can mean the difference between life and death. But rebellion is stirring, and as Alex uncovers the sinister truth behind Pangaea's operations, he must decide if he's willing to risk everything to ignite a revolution that could change the fate of thousands.
