After moving to London with her best friend, the last thing Elle expects is to fall for a celebrity - though it may be more trouble than it's worth. ***** Elle Robinson never thought the man she's loved for nearly her entire existence would leave her, but when he does, she sees no other alternative than to run away to London. It wasn't the best laid plan for someone who typically thinks through every little detail, but when she meets screen and stage actor Jude Anderson, who never fails to bring a blush to her cheeks, she believes her life is finally on the right track again - new love included. But no romance is complete without a little drama, anxiety, and miscommunication - leaving Elle to learn how to take her life into her own hands and separate fact from fiction when her relationship hits the public eye. Someone Else is the first book in a trilogy following Elle and Jude's love story. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Moe Sangster

Set in the 1800's, colonial America, this is the story of Mercy Peters, an African American slave woman who gets sold throughout the south and ends up meeting a white man---that ends up changing her life. This story will be more raw than my other stories because I feel so strongly about slavery , and the life of a woman during that time. Enjoy. Might me inappropriate for younger viewers. Guys, I hope the way the story is written does not offend anybody. I only based the way she speaks on excerpts I read in my AP U.S history class. It gets better later on in the story. Again, I have no rude intentions in this story. I am a black person myself and although I am not African-American, I can relate.

Romelo August The 23-year old man who was never wanted. Always had a life of struggle, but still had a caring heart. He put people who didn't care about him before himself, and was always left behind. Everyone he thought that cared about him, left and didn't look back. His family and friends left him in the streets and was never heard from again. The man is now homeless, and hides from everyone. He stays in a dark abandoned building, and sits in a window all day, and watch people lurk the busy streets. He hardly eats, making himself extremely skinny. He never leaves the building, only at night to look for food to where his stomach has been starved for the longest. He sits in a dark cold room, by himself, wondering why was he treated so poorly? Why didn't anyone like him? Why didn't anyone love him? Romelo wanted a lot of things, but what he needed was someone to love and take care of him. He needed help. Larraé Whitman The 23-year old that found Romelo.
