Imagine the "Light" and "Dark" sides of "The Force" were partially-sentient extra-dimensional life-forces engaged in a Secret War in our world -- A war whose warriors consist of people recruited through infection by either the Sacred Fire or the Corruption. These Awakened have been given tremendous supernatural powers but at an equally tremendous cost. Welcome to the Secret War. Until The Corruption infected her neighbor, Hikari Miyabe's greatest concern was preparing for her high school entrance examination. But then her neighbor killed her family and infected her. When one of the Awakened arrives and cleanses her with the Sacred Fire, Hikari finds herself caught in a secret war between supernatural forces that consumes the lives of everyone it touches. This is a 4-part novella covering the back story of Hikari Miyabe, a major character in the forthcoming novel The Awakened.

It was only supposed to be a minor military expedition and Kenneth Phon was only supposed to be an observer. But when the ambitions of powerful men turn to betrayal and murder, the largest human war fleet ever assembled finds itself leaderless and lost, thousands of light-years deep in the territory of a hostile alien empire. With the fleet surrounded and on the point of surrender, Kenneth Phon takes charge and leads them in their fight home through hundreds of enemy systems. The underachieving son of a wealthy shipbuilder, Ken must fight off more experienced commanders trying to undermine his authority and fractious mercenary ship captains who'd rather fight each other or turn pirate than cooperate. If he fails, not only will the fleet be destroyed, but the defenseless Earth will be sterilized by aliens bent on revenge. (Based on a true story.)

When the shinigami invades his life, disrupting all his relationships and even coming in between him and his girlfriend, the horror, and impossibility of making death love him begins to sink in. Unable to even define love, he wonders if the shinigami might be right. Perhaps love isn't real after all.

*Sequel to Paladin* The kingdom of Thule stands on the brink of civil war between two armies -- the Paladins and the Uriel -- each claiming the right to serve as Thule's protector. Once a Paladin trainee, Lady Samantha of Haywood -- Sam -- has been named a traitor to king and country by the Paladins' High Commander, with a bounty set on her head. Only Sam and her friends know what the people of Thule do not: the High Commander is no ordinary man but something more--something evil. The supposed military hero holds a dark alliance with the demons that have ravaged mankind for millennia, commanding them as easily as he does his men. Worse, he can control Braeden, Sam's half-demon lover, through blood magic long thought extinct. Sam and Braeden set sail across the sea in hopes of finding a way to nullify the High Commander's power. But the secrets they uncover reveal Thule faces an even greater threat. They must return to Thule and warn the Uriel...before it's too late.

Welcome Wattpadders! This book will be short and to the point. I won’t bore you with mundane grammar rules or the crap you learn in English class, but I will offer simple suggestions on how to improve your writing. These are tips that I use every day when I sit down to write. Nothing fancy, just the basics. I can’t promise that your “hotness” will go up, but I can guarantee that you’ll be a step above the people who don’t implement these techniques. Also, I encourage you to link to this book when commenting on other’s work. Sometimes it can be draining typing out the same suggestions over and over. I’m not trying to gain votes or comments with this book, I’m just here to provide budding writers with simple methods to hone their skills. So, with that brief introduction out of the way, let’s figure out how to improve your stories on Wattpad!

A few writing lessons I picked up here and there by reading, talking to other authors, often learning the hard way (by embarrassing myself) and occasionally advice from professionals. Everything here is presented as-is and is subject to change with no notice--or whenever I realize how silly something I said was. A lot of this is simply reminders to myself of things to remember and/or look out for.

Before that winter, Clara had been a normal teenage girl. She spent about twelve hours a day using one of her family's many computers on an OnLife site. She'd never seen any of her friends in person. She'd hardly ever cracked a window or door. She'd never even left her own home. And why would she need to? Everything she could ever ask for was just a mere touch or simple command away from somewhere OnLife. Her necessities, her education, her career, her wants, and all the money she owns is all OnLife. But that's about to change... Somehow, one little mistake puts the US government on her tail. Clara has no choice but to leave her home and family to flee into the unknown, where she has to rely on instinct and make careful choices. Along the way, she makes interesting discoveries and is forced to wonder if everything she's ever known is real, or just a lie.
