Colorado, 1875. When the MacEilans left Ireland, they hoped for a new start, away from the pain that has followed them their whole lives. But when four of the children are left alone in the frontiers of Colorado, a new start seems impossible- especially for Anne MacEilan, who still lives in her family's dark past. America isn't at all how they thought it would be. There's thieves and disease all around them- just what they hoped wouldn't be there. Life has never treated the MacEilan family well... but will they be able to beat the odds, and make a life for themselves on the harsh Colorado soil? This is the first book in the Irish Thistles series, which will tell the stories of the MacEilan sisters. All of the written books can be found on my page. Book 1: My Wild Irish Rose- Anne (complete) Book 2: Ladybird- Mary (complete) Book 3: Saturday's Lady- Emma (currently being posted!)

Act 1 . . . [Book 1 in the Reverse Falls Trilogy] [cover by @ontheupsidedown!] Ever since his dad packed up and left, Gideon didn't want to have anything to do with him. But after his mom sends him to Gravity Falls to stay with Bud for the summer, it doesn't seem like he has much of a choice. After running into his childhood best friend, Pacifica, the summer suddenly looks promising. After all, what could possibly ruin their reunion? Oh yeah, there's the creepy Pines Twins who seem to know much more than they let on. . . Dipper Pines has always lived in the shadows with his sister. The twins have stayed away from the public eye ever since a terrible stage accident that occurred 5 years ago. Once their uncle gets desperate enough for money, he finally decides that the show will make a return. Dipper knows his sister, or at least he thinks he does, and he knows that she if she wasn't capable of handling her powers then, she definitely can't now. But the show isn't what Mabel is concerned about, and Dipper is beginning to wonder what secrets she's hiding from him. When two stories collide with the supernatural, things get a little complicated. . . . Please keep it clean in the comments, since this is a Fanfiction based on a kids show there's most likely going to be some (even if few) young ages reading this. I keep my fanfictions clean (meaning no cursing) so once again, please do so in the comments. If not the comment will be reported/deleted.

The age of the Luminar is over. Once upon a time there was a great land ruled by great and powerful monarchs. For thousands of years the line of monarchs reigned supreme, but like everything in this universe great things must end. A man with a heart as cold as stone and powers even darker overthrew the immortal rulers of the land. Allied with creatures of dark power and traitors from the great line itself, this man of darkness attacked the great and immortal race. Left and right the immortal beings that had ruled for centuries were destroyed and scattered. The princess of the land did all in her power to defend her people but in the end it was not enough. After the final battle between the princess and the dark one, the princess and her husband were exiled to the dark and dangerous outer lands and they were never seen again. The dark had won. Or so they thought. A hundred years later the dark one, now king, rules with an iron heart. The once great and powerful country is now a shadow of its former glory. War torn and poor, there is no hope, no trust, and above all, there is no freedom. High up in the cliffs of Brille, in a nameless and insignificant little town, lies a hidden secret. Trapped in the dark, lost in the gray, is Andromeda. People whisper rumors in the streets of long-forgotten, benevolent entities, of the resistance, and the light to come. But Andromeda doesn't believe in fairytales. When Andromeda's little brother is drafted by order of the king, she has no choice but to seek the only people who can stop the king once and for all, The Luminaria.

Book II of SEIZE THE DAY, Winner of the 2014 Wattys Instant Addiction Award. If you haven't read Book I, SEIZE THE DAY, please do! There are spoilers ahead! **** Lannie Brackenbury never thought she would be sent on a dangerous quest to save the world. But after she discovered her destiny as a Harbinger, that idea took a drastic twist. Bestowed with abilities that she is still learning to use, Lannie is sent on a journey that will take her across Etheia, where she must negotiate a peace treaty between the magical kingdom of Eremith and the human kingdom of Nor to break the vicious cycle of slavery. But making peace in the world of Etheia is not as easy as it seems. Therin, the bloodthirsty Drakain that ruined Lannie's life, is still moving in the shadows, convincing the world to doubt the existence of the Harbingers. And when a terrifying beast cloaked in darkness attacks Lannie, she realizes that defeating Therin is the least of her worries. Humans and magical creatures are on the brink of another war. This time, it is far more dangerous than Lannie could ever have imagined. There is a dark force at work that is bent on destroying not only Nor, but Eremith as well. And it will take everything that Lannie has to stop it. ---- Cover: Model © Ylenia Manganelli via PrincessandDragon.deviantart.com; Background © Sean & Ashlie Nelson via AshenSorrow.deviantart.com; edited by me
