|2021 VERSION · 26X FEATURED| #SupportHispanicVoices #SupportIndigenousVoices Mateo Brook, a young Pinta Park Ranger, must learn the legend of the Green Guardian to save the Paperblank Forest from a ruthless basilisk. What starts as an enjoyable mission soon becomes a matter of life or death. *** The fae are an ancient race in Pinta Country, but no fairy is as old as the Green Guardian. Sixty years ago, she trapped a little boy in time. Now, she begs for the Pebble Masters to rescue them. Eleven-year-old Evie Amanda Madison and twenty-one-year-old Mateo Brook are part of a specialized camp to train aspiring Pinta Park Rangers. Evie, who dreams of being just like her hero, Ranger Anthony, is unaware of the danger she is about to face. There is a basilisk loose in the Paperblank Forest. It's a creature of old magic that dates back to the Green Guardian herself. Together with a talking Red-Crowned Crane, John, and Pinta's young king, Benjamin, Evie and Mateo must find a way to free the time travelers if they hope to defeat the monster. Little do they know that this is all part of a prophecy-a prophecy held dearly by the people of Paperblank Village. Sixty years ago, history changed forever. A dark shadow is looming over Pinta Country, but Evie and Mateo are the only ones who can reverse the past. *** Word Count: 100,000-130,000 Main Achievements: 🥈Overall 2nd Place Winner in the Elephant Awards! 🏆 2X Spotlight Story in 2022! 🏆 3X Book of the Month! 🏆 4X Best Main Character Award (Mateo Brook)! 🏆 Shortlisted for the 2022 Seasonal Contests! 🏆 100K reads on another writing website!

|SEASON 1 OF BILL AND THE WHISTLING DEATH · 10X FEATURED · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · PERFECT FOR FANS OF A MAN CALLED OVE AND REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES!| A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair. *** Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like. While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs. *** *#SupportHistoricalLGBTQVoices* Trigger Warnings (this book is a drama and touches on heavy topics, inspired by my father and grandpa's service in the Navy and my father's reaction to my older brother's death in 2021. However, it's a clean story.): - War trauma (including PTSD) - Survivor's guilt - Lots of angst - Accidental murder, and Bill's struggle to accept his friend's confession of being queer at first.

|A SET OF TWO ORIGINAL DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM NOVELLAS| |13X FEATURED · AMBYS 2025 FAVORITE · INKITT HQ FEATURED · A GLOABLLY SELECTED STORY! · INTERNATIONALLY PUBLISHED! · AUDIOBOOK NOW AVAILABLE!| Milo and Maisie: Two years after her older brother's tragic death, anxiety-stricken Maisie and her emotional support cat, Milo, attend the Disney College Program, where they must discover a new life meaning in the most magical place on Earth. Milo and Maisie: The Veracruz Ghost: When Maisie and Feya's friendship is tossed into the danger zone, they must work together to save it before Summit 2023 destroys them forever. *** *#SupportLGBTQVoices* "A new magic I discovered with Milo in a world without my brother." Trigger Warnings (Milo and Maisie, despite its Disney World setting and message of hope and second chances, is a very heavy story, mostly because it's heavily inspired by my journey through grief after my older brother's death in 2021. It's a clean story, though.) - Recovering from grief/loss - Offscreen suicide attempt mention - Non-graphic onscreen suicide in The Veracruz Ghost - War trauma and PTSD (especially for Feya) - Relatively graphic onscreen accident, but not too graphic

|5X FEATURED| #SupportPacificIslanderVoices Erin, a conflicted Elemental Spirit, embarks on a life-changing journey across the ocean as the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. *** Erin hasn't been an Elemental Spirit for long, but she has watched the Earth change right before her, becoming more unrecognizable each day because of humans. As her first journey across the Atlantic Ocean approaches, she has one goal and one goal only: to eliminate the humans. Take them out one by one, starting with the Caribbean. As Erin moves her thunderstorms away from Cape Verde and begins organizing into a massive hurricane, she starts seeing the world from different perspectives: between ships, islands, animals, and even the Hurricane Hunters investigating her. When she nears peak intensity in the Caribbean, Erin faces the toughest question of all: "Is this right, or am I just another monster?" That's something the young hurricane must figure out on her own. *** *A short story inspired by Henry Loomis's quote in Jurassic World Rebirth: "When the Earth gets tired of us, believe me, it will shake us off like a summer cold."* *FYI: This is a story, not a science lesson, so don't expect everything to be completely accurate.* *Moral: There is just as much good in the world as there is evil.* Main Achievements: 🏅 Shortys 2025 Shortlist! 🏅Auld Lang Syne Honorable Mention! ⭐ @ShortStory Ambassador's Pick!
