Splickety's First Comes Love for their 2015 issue for Splickety Love (now known as Spark) "Sub-genres - First kisses, first dates, first loves, first breakups, first crushes, etc. First time feelings flit like butterflies and sting like bees. The first crush-which should really be called "crash" since we all crash and burn. The first kiss. The first fight. The first time you danced without injury. The first time you met the parents. Splicketly Love wants all the "firsts" flash fiction for our February issue. Special Request: Splickety Love seeks strong, independent heroines with unique voice and a fond quirkiness. Also, we'd like to see more heroes than hunks. So, cut back on physical attraction and amp up the action and dialogue. "Firsts" tend to be gushy. Instead of kisses, try creating an inside joke for your couple. (You'll get brownie points.)" Each short story entry is based off this contest, and I hope they spark interest as you read them.

Forced to share his bed with an attractive stranger, Ash Jamieson suddenly finds himself confronted with feelings he thought he'd repressed. ***** Riddled with adolescent angst, lavished with profanity, and adorned with more cheese than your favourite take-out pizza, Top and Tail chronicles the life of Ash Jamieson as he haphazardly navigates his way through malicious schoolmates, whackjob teachers, disillusioned parents, imbecilic athletes, audacious girls, and of course, his most pressing problem: the subdued pretty-boy that has suddenly invaded every aspect of his life. Being a teenager is hard, ok? ***** Top and Tail is posted exclusively on Wattpad! If you're reading this elsewhere, you're reading an unedited, stolen version where illegal sites profit off my work :( The official version is FREE to read at it's home on Wattpad!

If you're one of the quiet kids, and you like it that way, then you're not alone. So, what even is an introvert, you ask? Most of you probably heard this word at least once before. My guess is that if you have heard the word introvert, you may have heard it used to describe someone in a negative way. You might know an introvert as someone who is quieter or not as outgoing, but there is a little more to it than that. People often mistake introversion as shyness, social anxiety, or a mental illness, but introversion is actually none of these things. It is simply a personality trait. You can be an introvert and still be a happy, confident person. A lot of well-known people were introverts, like Einstein, Abe Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and even Lady Gaga (Yes, I said Lady Gaga). This book focuses on what my experiences as an introvert have been so far, and the positives of being an introvert. It also gets into some psychology and mental health. Coming from a shy person, I also hope to talk about how to deal with shyness and build self confidence, even though being shy and introverted aren't exactly the same thing. So come join the party! *Ahem* Sorry. I meant to say, come join the small, quiet gathering.

Collection of my short stories. 1. Letters To Be Told 2. Silent Storms 3. The Last Note 4. Confessions

Wuthering Heights is a novel written by Emily Brontë, and I have the upmost admiration for it. This is just a short poem I wrote based on my interpretation of Heathcliff and Cathy's love. It might not be the best, but I hope you like it!

This collection tells of life, pain, suffering, and sometimes even happiness. I hope you will enjoy.
