I write about New York - and everywhere else. This is a selection of what I call my "little bus stories." I write on the New York City Mass Transit Authority - also known as the MTA, also known as the bus and the subway. My first collection of stories is available at the NY Transit Museum Store, and online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Create Space: "A Marshmallow on the Bus: A Collection of Stories Written on the MTA." My next collection will include many of these Wattpad stories, some new poetry, and, of course, my observation of daily life in the world's most exciting city - New York, New York. It's called "Prayer Beads on the Train: A Collection of Stories Written on the MTA," and it will be out this fall (2014). Thanks for reading my little bus stories! Look for updates and follow me - @nilesite. Anne Born

I never imagined anything like this could happen to me. I've become something thats hated in order to save someone I love. I am a thing that has turned me away from my home, never being able to return. My name is Amila Severed, and I am a pirate.

Emotional endings and painful goodbyes were never Emma Clayton's thing. When she finds out she is dying, goodbyes seem inevitable; the murderer, cancer, is slowly killing her and there is no way to stop it. Instead of becoming closer to the ones she loves, she finds herself pushing them farther away, afraid to show the ugly side of her dying can only bring out. She is ready to leave, ready to leave everyone she loves. She's set on parting ways... but there is one person who sees through her facade, someone who isn't ready to give her up... not yet.

Confused about her past, with no one to answer her questions, Angel is forced into the company of Kain. An endearing man who saves her life and rescues her from an unforgiving forest. However, as bits and pieces of Angel's memories start to come back, will she choose Kain as her protector? Or is there someone else lurking around in her past that will gather her attention? Will she remember her past and solve all of its mysteries? Or will she be killed in the process? The real question: Who is Angel?

Reid has been homeless on the streets of New York for years now, fighting for cash in clubs and sleeping in empty buildings. With his special ability, Reid could have whatever life he wanted, but chooses not to. When Sam meets Reid on the subway, she has a hard time forgetting about him, and not only because he keeps showing up in the least likely of places. Sam doesn't know it at first, but the boy she just met is about to show her a whole other world.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL FANTASY STORY. In an ordinary life, extraordinary truths can be unravelled. Vincent doesn't like his brother, Seth. He always ends up hating him for being the better one. Then one night, something strange happened. Only his brother witnessed everything. Not only that, he already knew it's going to happen and why it happened. As his brother told him the whole story, he was surprised to hear the magical truth he unravelled. The Unravelling: The Throne's Heir is a fantasy/adventure story about a boy's survival and journey to a magical world as he meets unexpected allies, faces threatful enemies and gains memory of his true self along the way. If you want a story full of suspense, twists and cliffhangers, then this one is absolutely made just for you. © 2012 NikkoVince. All rights reserved.

The history of Tiseria is littered with ferocious battles. Battles, between the many different races, which threatened to engulf the entire realm. Races and creatures have become extinct, or very close to it, but, no war had been as terrible as the Dark Wars. Over a thousand years ago the Cultists of Volkin tried to bring forth their underworld god into the living realm. They almost succeeded. The cult had been defeated by the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, and by the Covenant of the Magi. Tiseria prospered and there was general peace in the wake of the Dark Wars. Peace which had gone, relatively, unbroken, until now. The armies of darkness are rising once more. After more than a millennia the Cult of Volkin has returned, returned to finish what they had started. The cult is more devastating than ever, equipped with powers bestowed upon them by Volkin himself. They intend to wreck havoc, spread corruption, fear and distraught, through the kingdoms, and raise their Dark God once again. Releasing a corruption upon the physical realm, and causing the various races to become hosts for evil spirits, the Cult of Volkin is demonstrating their power to all. The descendants of the Covenant of the Magi and Knights Order, combined to create the Order of Light, must once again brave the horrors brought forth by Volkin's minions. Two knights have been chosen to undertake the suicidal mission of reuniting the races of Tiseria and retying the bonds of allegiance between them. The fallen, and dishonoured, Knight-Captain, Ryan Quinn, and the proud, and noble, Michael Crow, must traverse the three remaining kingdoms in hopes of uniting the Human, Dwarven and Elven races once more against the terror that is Volkin. With dungeons, dragons, magic and goblins set to cross their paths, can these two knights survive and what else will they encounter?
