How do you fight evil if death is not the end? Seventeen-year-old Mia trusts no-one. She wants to - she'd give almost anything to be able to - but when your survival depends on the acute awareness of every whim and mood swing of your narcissistic, rage-filled mother, anxiety becomes a default state. Mia has become expert at reading body language, facial expressions, vocal fluctuations - permanently prepared to fight, flee or freeze at the slightest hint of anger, aggression or even just disapproval. Mia's learned it's easier to be alone. But Mia's not alone. When the people children are supposed to be safest with abuse them, it's common to develop this hyper-aware state. Doctors have a name for it: hyper-vigilance. The recruitment scouts at Kazemoto Security (Supernatural Division) have a word for it, too: potential. *** Chapters will be posted here on Wattpad as well as its own Wordpress blog and in podcast form (read by me - eek!) on iTunes, YouTube, & SoundCloud.

Deep in the Glade, on the first new moon of the harvest... There was no struggle. No scream. Nothing that could have tipped me off. Just a goodbye beforehand, a simple one- I'll see you in a few minutes. I'll be back in a few hours. A few hours later was not simple. A few hours later was black blood and birds calling out and then utter, desolate silence. Thus my investigation began.

Three friends. Two love stories. One convention. In this geeky romance, three BFFs go to SupaCon in search of fandom, and end up finding love. Charlie likes to stand out. Fresh from a public break-up with co-star Jason Ryan, SupaCon is her chance to prove to the fandom that she doesn't belong in anybody's shadow. But with her fans refusing to abandon the Charlie/Jason 'Chase' ship, opening her heart to someone new won't be easy. Taylor likes to blend in. Her SupaCon dream is simple: meet her idol, Skyler Atkins, a.k.a Queen Firestone. Entering the Queen Firestone SupaFan Contest seems like a no brainer - fangirling is her thing, she's even got the cosplay to prove it. But paralyzing anxiety is also her thing, and it's held her back her whole life. From the bestselling author of THE EVA SERIES and filled with geekiness, cosplay and fandom, QUEENS OF GEEK is a story about friendship, self-discovery and finding the courage to love with all your heart. (Formerly What Happens At SupaCon). COMING TO BOOKSTORES IN 2017 FROM SWOON READS/MACMILLAN PUBLISHING!

** Wattpad Featured Story!** A young girl arouses the wrath of an ancient Scottish water spirit who takes her brother's soul in revenge. To save him Brigid must journey through the Shadow realm, begging help and proving herself to each of the totem animal spirits of Britain. Steeped in British mythology and animal lore, The Shadowkeeper is a modern fairy tale written with animation in mind but could also be live action/CGI - lots of CGI! Author's Note: Back in 2005, The Shadowkeeper came heartbreakingly close to being sold to major production companies thanks to good showing in the three screenwriting competitions I submitted to*. A whirlwind trip to Hollywood for an awards night followed by meetings with managers and production companies had my little heart singing (literally one night, at an Etta James concert at the Hollywood Bowl!) Then reality hit. All of the feedback I received was the same: We love it but there's no audience for adventure stories with a female protagonist, change Brigid to a boy and we'll negotiate. Call me stubborn (the two managers offering me representation did) but I didn't think that was a legitimate "note", I thought it was simple sexism and I refused. Since then, The Shadowkeeper has been in the proverbial drawer but I love Brigid, I think she's a badass little eight year old and I've never given up on her. It's now ten years later and the attitude to female protagonists appears to be changing so I'm thinking of submitting The Shadowkeeper again but first I thought I'd pop it up here and see what Wattpadders think. If you like it, I do hope you'll vote and/or comment to let me know whether you'd like to see it on the screen! Happy reading! Darcy. *Competition Results: Finalist, ScriptP.I.M.P.

In a world where anything is possible and everything is crashing to the ground, one young Canira must find and train the legendary Keepers of Hope and Determination, the last chance her world has at salvation.

Twelve stories. One mangled timeline. The Amalgamates never should have existed. They have no fixed physical shape, though they prefer to present as human, and the powers they have far exceed the capabilities of any human. Below this appearance, though, lies the tedious balance between man and beast, playing out in all of them. With their history lurking behind them even as they run back to it, each one must decide who they are, what it means, and where they belong. Along the way, they run the risk of tearing themselves and their found family apart... WARNING FOR MATURE THEMES: Abusive relationships, suicidal characters and mentions of suicide (including some graphic scenes), violence, death, murder, and body horror. If you are easily unsettled by any of this it is recommended you not read this book.
