A series of twice-told tales from Canadian author Shane Joseph. These newly re-published works include stories of losing home, wandering abroad, and finding home, always beginning from scratch. Similar to Joseph's own life path, each story has a silver lining and each story deserves to be heard once more.

A collection of different ideas and stories that pop into my mind at times of boredom and half-waking moments. These short stories may not always be One Direction related but I hope you read them. Please don't use any of these ideas for your own personal stories, it takes time and effort for me to come up with these, so in other words... All Rights Reserved to me

it's a jOKE AND DONT READ IT IF YOU'LL GET OFFENDED.

“You’re making a huge mistake,” I whispered, my words cracked, crumbling at the seams like I was inside. He looked up at me, those bright, emerald irises danced with everything that I never was. “Maybe,” he shrugged. The words and the decision seemed to come easily for him. It was then that I realised that it was because he was normal. He’d done this so many times. “Or maybe,” he took my hands in his. They felt big as they enveloped my own; his touch foreign. “It could be the best decision of our lives.” - Love is overrated. Crying is overrated. Life is overrated. This is because Annabelle Salter is a simple girl. She doesn’t need these complications that are love, weakness, and opportunity. She’s a simple girl with a not so simple past. She had her life planned out: She was sticking it out with her mother in adoption – Ariel – in a small unheard of town in England until she turns nineteen. Home-schooled, quiet, reserved and having spent the majority of her childhood isolated from the reality that is danger, socialization and people, she isn’t prepared for the very complicated idea that comes crashing into her well thought out and organised life. After an anonymous phone call to her house in England, she receives news that she’s to travel to New England, America, over Christmas. It’s only law for things to go wrong when an eighteen year old girl who has no idea how to handle life, and mostly, people; gets thrown into working in a mansion containing masses of celebrities all battling it out for ignorant television. She’s just trying to survive her time there. Little did she think the thing she doubted the most, would get in the way.

If every girl you meet thinks they're the most perfect things on Earth? Not the best perspective of life, but for Kylie, she had no choice. What if One Direction, the cheeky british/irish boyband that every girl screams over, were the people who completely ruined your life? For Kylie Hayden, that was reality.

They weren't supposed to kiss. But they did.
