Eleanor Wellesley has lived with her father's neglect and indifference all her life. When Sir Edward Wellesley is killed in a card game, Eleanor discovers he has left her destitute, and at the mercy of an evil man.

**A WATTPAD FEATURED COLLECTION** A young girl takes her first steps into the real world. A boy experiences the joy and pain of a first love. An old man relives the stories he's written. These are just some of the stories of The Carnival Papers, a volume of short stories dealing with life, loss, and love.

A series of musings and cultural commentary on current events (or rants depending on my mood) about literature, feminism, the working world and internet culture. I hope that it speaks to teens and adults alike. It's important to talk about this stuff sometimes, even if it makes you angry.
