In ZEROES, Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti to create a sizzling new series filled with action and adventure. Don’t call them heroes. But these six Californian teens have powers that set them apart. Take Ethan, a.k.a. Scam. He’s got a voice inside him that’ll say whatever you want to hear, whether it’s true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn’t—like when the voice starts gabbing in the middle of a bank robbery. The only people who can help are the other Zeroes, who aren’t exactly best friends these days. Enter Nate, a.k.a. Bellwether, the group’s “glorious leader.” After Scam’s SOS, he pulls the scattered Zeroes back together. But when the rescue blows up in their faces, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into whirlwind encounters with ever more dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos they find Kelsie, who can take a crowd in the palm of her hand and tame it or let it loose as she pleases. Filled with high-stakes action and drama, Zeroes unites three powerhouse authors for the opening installment of a thrilling new series. Read a sneak peek here on Wattpad and look out for ZEROES on September 29, 2015 in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook wherever books are sold.

This is an entry to the Challenge 19 SciFi competition.

In which a girl who hides behind baggy sweaters and a fake smile is forced to learn that 'perfection' doesn't come easily, and being skinny isn't always worth the pain. "she cried herself to sleep that night, because deep down she knew that no matter how many meals she skipped and how much exercise she did, Olivia would never be skinny."

"Give me ten days, and I can give you ten reasons not to die." Evan paused. "And if I can't change your mind by then, you can go jump off that cliff."

"You're ugly, smelly, irritating as hell, a know-it-all, hypocritical, a liar, egotistical, a bitch, idiotic, oblivious, worthless-" "Thanks for that, Captain Obvious." In which a girl who wears her flaws upon her sleeves helps a boy who buries them deep beneath the ground. ______________________________________________________ Heavily inspired by the song "Flaws" by Bastille.

Fire burns through everything in its path, but yields in the right hands. Water follows the river, bending where the flow bends, curving where the drift curves, but seems to have its own mind. Earth is hard, unyielding-but it can crumble with the slightest touch. Air blows gently, sustaining life, but is a destructive force within its own right. In a world where magic manifests in the forms of Elementals, the world renown Primrose Academy is the only institution in which Elementals are given the training that they need to forge a successful future. In this academy, students from all over the world congregate to learn one thing and one thing only-how to beat each other for the entertainment of others. Elementals are seen as nothing but manual labors, maybe historians and writers, but there is always a sharp distinction between those of human blood and those of Elemental blood. Lana Potentia is an enigma. She showed up out of nowhere and seems to know more about the school and its students than most are comfortable with. What hides behind those amber eyes of hers? Reed Joulin is a champion. He won the most prestigious Elemental competition of the year-the Dancing of the Elements. But at a heavy cost. Cole Wrenger is a pining man. His heart was broken ten years ago, and the only way to numb the pain is to throw himself head-first into his new fate of becoming the number one Elemental of the year. If that's possible. Fiera Flame has her own agenda. Ace her exams and claw her way to one of the top spots of the academy. Then she could escape the festering life she leads and get everything that she deserves. 4 people, 4 minds, 4 personalities, 4 SECRETS. Who will emerge the winner? _______________________________________ ©2015, NevermoreNeverHere (Cover made by @sparksofmadness.)

He just wants her booty, but she'll end up stealing his heart. ***** After pirates kidnap seventeen-year-old Ana in a case of mistaken identity, the orphaned housemaid prepares for the worst. Instead, between a shipwreck, mutiny, and her growing feelings for her captor -- the dashing Pirate King of the Caribbean, Alestair Kincade -- Ana soon realizes the secret she keeps is far from the most dangerous part of her new life. But playing the wholesome daughter of a Spanish admiral among rag-tag buccaneers isn't easy either, and to avoid both discovery and the gallows she'll have to learn to rely on more than just her wits and her charm. But is Alestair Kincade really on her side? Or will his protection and his love both disappear the moment he learns the truth?
