I'd always heard the voices. From being a young child when the doctors had long since given up trying to find a cause, the voices woke me, screaming, in the night. But then, they began to guide me. When I started to find the dead bodies - animals, children - I was called a psychic. I was used to help, but I could only find what the voices wanted to show me. But then, one day, the killer chose another victim. It chose me, and only the voices could save me. Except, they weren't just voices. They were.... - Whilst on a long (7.5) hour flight to Wattpad HQ in Toronto, I was watching the film Solace. Part way through, an idea threw itself into my mind and I had to stop the film and start writing immediately. I also had another idea later on, again which I had to write down. This is the first of those ideas and is written for the #OnceUponNow promotion. Don't worry, Red Queen is being worked on too, but sometimes you just need to purge yourself of a story to be able to continue on with another.

[EXCERPT - FIRST 5 CHAPTERS] THE FULL BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN STORES AND ONLINE! Never trust a guy in spandex. In Abby Hamilton's world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees - they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby's older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind. That is, until the city's newest vigilante comes bursting into her life. After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston's fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he's not as evil as everyone says - and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city's darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can't always be trusted, and sometimes it's the good guys who wear black.

Normalcy is for the weak Maisha is a pretty normal girl. Sure, she doesn't remember the first 18 years of her life, but weirder things happen, right? It's not like someone took away her memories to make her forget that she's an alien, heir to a throne, and the most powerful witch in existence. Nor does she have an undead fairy godmother (along with a bunch of ghosts for relatives) whose sole afterlife entertainment is haunting her. And there's NO way she's married to an actual dragon/ancient-warrior/wanna-be-superhero (who hates her guts) in the name of peace. Or is there? Who decides what's normal anyway?

River, a wandering free spirit (some would say homeless but that's beside the point) is at a low point in her life when a mysterious stranger offers her a way out. Play a game. Sounds fun, right? Do what the dares say and get paid. The rewards only get bigger and despite the nagging feeling that they're leading her down a slippery slope, what sane person would stop? Enter the Tin Man. Definitely chosen out of necessity and not for his personality, he's the Yang to every Yin in the universe. He'd rather stab someone than hold a conversation. Manners aren't his forte and yet his popularity is mind boggling. They weren't supposed to stick together, but crashing an airplane in the Amazon rain forest has a way of bringing people closer and maybe they aren't as bad of a team as they thought. Now available for purchase on Amazon.com, but most of the chapter are still here on wattpad for you to read! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08743X2Z5
