Thirty days. The countdown has started, North America shivers under the shadow of a massive alien spacecraft, and humanity is hurtling toward an unknown future that lurks at the end of the timer. Somewhere, somehow, the heroes are making their plans to fight the extraterrestrials. But this isn't about them. From the team at WritersConnX comes a new anthology about the rest of us - the average, the ordinary, the unassuming - and the many paths we run when our time is cut short. And no damn aliens!

(COMPLETE) In a dystopian China blighted by climate change, a troubled genius sets out to save mankind and redeem his family's honor, but not if his enemies have anything to do with it... By 2048 climate change is deadly and threatens the existence of all life on Earth. Subsequently, an unprecedented program called The Solution is set to be proposed by China's Environment Secretary, Xen Lai. A technical genius, Xen hopes that mankind can avoid the 'World-Ender' mega storm he's predicted is almost upon us... However, Xen is a troubled man who's recently done unthinkable things, and kept the wrong company... Naturally, his credibility is questioned once he gets exposed. Amid the controversy, Xen must heal a dreadful rift with his journalist brother, Chon Lai, who's been forced to lead coverage of Xen's scandal for BTV. Xen must also appease a ruthless activist in Robin Albers. And, Xen must outsmart the crime boss of the entire underworld, The Pink Lady. Only then, will his family have the chance to restore their honor, ascend, and fulfill mankind's destiny among the stars... @Wattpad , Williams weaves pop culture through this serialized masterpiece of Science Fiction, which in turn monopolizes the rising sub-genres of 'EasternPunk' and 'Climate Fiction' aka 'Cli-Fi'. To sum it up, 'In a Chinese future, it's 'Ready Player One' meets 'Interstellar'!

I honestly felt like I was living through it..." - Gaylyn Fraiche - Vice President Film & TV - Hello Sunshine "It feels so contemporary and I couldn't help but nod along when I was reading the opening chapter.

Beautiful!" - Watty winner Brittanie Charmintine (Debbie Goelz) "Your writing style is so simple and elegant. It's easy to read and relate to and at the same time, it's deep." - RegalHarp7 "At first I thought "Inside, the china is cracked with moments of life" was one of the most powerful sentences I've ever heard, but this entire paragraph is 💯percent true..." - Lee4200 _________________________ Copyright © 2018 by Caroline Lesley Skorayko All rights reserved

FEATURED ON WATTY'S 2018 LONGLIST ⭐Be quiet if you like your skin... ⭐ There is no escape once it knows you're there. When the alert sounds, stay still and pray a Desolation doesn't hear you. If it does, your only hope is to become part of the Skinless. --- These do not need to be read in any order, although you may find that some people's encounters overlap. Pay close attention and you might just find mysteries and riddles you've never imagined.

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)

But when something goes wrong and The Guise, an online gang of anarchists, make Riverside their new target, Naomi finds herself caught up with the group.
