AN: I've finally begun to expand my 2023 Novella into a Novel, thanks to @LemuelMcMillan for reading the Novella and inspiring me to develop it. I plan to publish one chapter every other week, although I may occasionally publish a bonus or catch-up chapter in between weeks if I'm able. ------------------------------ Between two worlds and two names, she must unearth the power within to shape her own future. ------------------------------- When Dr. Baiyu Tang volunteers for the Christmas night shift, she expects quiet halls and the usual sacrifices of an ICU physician. Instead, a catastrophic accident floods her small Midwestern hospital with patients, and one, a hauntingly calm man named Mr. Wei, changes everything. Hours later, a crash leaves Baiyu between life and death. She awakens not in a hospital bed, but in the silken red wedding chamber of Xiang Bai, a noblewoman in an ancient empire. The only clue to her fate is a keeper who claims she has been chosen, and a husband, General Bao, who is as honorable as he is enigmatic. As Baiyu navigates court politics, ancient customs, and her own haunting past, she must merge two lives, reconcile two hearts, and decide which world she truly belongs to. The Journey Forward is a sweeping tale of second chances, hidden power, and love that defies lifetimes. ------------------------- Based on my 2023 ONC Novella by the same name. ------------------------- © DCVBookfan.

The half-elf Aspen and his best friend Sekafi, a hyena humanoid, are out to map a new area of forest when they find something that will change their lives in drastic and unexpected ways. This is a high fantasy adventure/horror story. Enjoy! This REPLACES my Random Shorts as that one's been stolen by a mirror site so I can't update there anymore. I update sporadically, but if I can I'll do it once a week. It'll depend on my current workload. And if you like this one, don't miss out on my longer stories. Mature rating is ON, but it's currently not that mature. It's only in case I'll add more mature content in the future and forget to flick the switch. Currently, there's violence and racism (or speciesism if you will).

Randall Cashe, a mechanical and electrical engineer, joins a team of scientists in a Mars-mission habitat hoping to rake in a massive payday. Their goal: to produce their own air, water, and food while testing the building with simulated disasters. When the outside world succumbs to a lethal airborne pandemic, the hermetically-sealed structure is suddenly the safest place on earth. As tensions among the group of scientists rise, Cashe has every intention to not only survive, but thrive. After all, why would he let a world-wide apocalypse and a few murders prevent him from making a profit? The parts I publish initially will be 90% where I want them to be. Feel free to criticize anything.

She was supposed to be his job. Not his obsession. Octavia is as fiery as they come, a raging ball of teenage hormones. She's stubborn, unpredictable and full of rage she doesn't quite know what to do with. Clarke takes no shit from anyone. He's mean, with a fuse shorter than a matchstick and a temper to match. As a ruthless leader of the mafia, he always gets the job done-swiftly, without complications. Until now. Clarke's been given the order from above: bring Octavia to his boss-alive. She's just a girl. Sharp-tongued, fiery, and unpredictable...but still a girl. How hard could it be? Octavia's not planning on making it an easy ride-far from it. In fact, she'll do everything in her power to throw his perfect life into chaos and disruption at every turn. But soon secrets begin to unravel, secrets that tie them together in ways they never could have imagined. Clarke's past is dark. But Octavias? It could just burn them both to the ground. **** There's a beat of silence, as we both wait for the other to speak. "I'm supposed to hate you," I whisper, trying to convince myself. But nothing could be further from the truth. "There's a very fine line between love and hate, princess," he traces a finger down my neck to my collarbone. My skin heats in the wake of his touch. My body leans in to him, a part of me lapping up every bit of attention he's wiling to give. "This is such a bad idea." My voice is so quiet, it can barely be heard. "The worst," he agrees with a cocky grin. And then his lips are on mine again. Ravishing and relentless, like he's trying to steal the very breath from my lung's. ****

Takeru Ishida, a reserved high school sophomore, discovers that the bento his grandmother packs for him draws spirits with unresolved regrets. At first it's a daily inconvenience-ghosts showing up mid-lunch begging for help. But when his grandmother falls into a mysterious coma, Rin-a sardonic ghost girl tethered to the house-reveals the truth: Takeru has unknowingly inherited the bloodline of a culinary spirit medium, and his only way to save his grandmother is to resolve the regrets of 108 spirits attracted by her final sacred recipes... before a rival exorcist decides to "cleanse" them by force.

In the land of Osareya, power is measured in Sekhem-the energy that courses through life. The Dawn Heralds, an elite force led by Pharaoh Khemra Amun Ra'Kesh himself, stand as the kingdom's shield against threats that lurk in the shadows.. Among them, a boy named Anubis walks the line between prodigy and peril, carrying a power so dangerous it terrifies even those who love him. By his side are Amara and Sefu, allies bound by loyalty, courage, and the secrets of their own pasts. Together, they will face enemies who defy the laws of Sekhem, confront horrors from the underworld, and uncover truths that could unravel everything they know. As old powers awaken and new threats emerge, the fate of Osareya-and the fragile balance between life and death-rests in the hands of those who dare to stand against the darkness.

Anyone caught with any robotic implants were sent to the Helion prison complex, and purged from normal society. Even those who used to serve humanity. One such aug, Red, imprisoned for seven years in Helion dreams of escape. Initially recalled and stripped of his command of Aphelion, he dreams of escape which begins to shape into a reality when a new augment is dropped into the facility. One whose very identity would mean death from either side of the conflict. But one whose abilities could lead Red to New Elysium, freedom and the ability to take back what was stolen from him. 1st Place in the 2017 Crowning Gem Awards Science Fiction Category 3rd place in the 2017 Reach for the StarsScience Fiction winner! 3rd Place in the 2017 TickTock Awards Sci-Fi Category! 3rd place in the 2017 Zombie Awards Science Fiction Category!
