Targeted by superpowered terrorists, an actress is protected by the government's strongest guardian--the same woman who broke her heart two years ago. ☆ Elsie Bates won't deny that she's made a few enemies during her fifteen-year acting career, but she never thought her actions would warrant her death at the hands of meta-human terrorists. As if that wasn't bad enough, her federally appointed bodyguard is the famous Camilla Wyatt, the most powerful guardian in the country and Elsie's sworn enemy. Because behind Camilla's sunny personality is a cold and heartless young woman, and no one but Elsie knows the truth. At least, that's what Elsie initially thinks. As it happens, being forced into a protective lockdown with someone can change perspectives, and Elsie slowly uncovers the secret behind Camilla's complicated character. In turn, Camilla begins to realize that maybe "trust issues" shouldn't be in her superpower repertoire, and self-preservation doesn't necessarily require self-isolation. But as the women grow closer, so do the forces that attempt to split them apart. And when the worlds of superpowered militaries, propaganda movies, and hidden conspiracies begin to collide, Elsie and Camilla must rely on each other to survive. ☆ INCLUDES: ✓ Militarized superheroes ✓ LGBTQ+ romance ✓ Diverse characters ✓ Subtle sociopolitical commentary ✓ "Science" FEATURED: ★ 2023 Amby Awards Top Pick (Sci-Fi) ★ @lgbtq Pride Awards 2023 Category Winner (Sci-Fi) ★ @FreeTheLGBT Pride Awards - Third Place ★ @TripleACommunity Aro Ace Awards - Shortlist ★ @superhero, @FreeTheLGBT, @WattpadUrbanFantasy, @StoriesUndiscovered Mature rating is for violence, grotesque descriptions, and swearing.

'Disavowed' is a memoir of fifteen years spent as a Sister in three different religious communities, written with whimsical humor, gentle irony, and full of colorful details plus some grim truths about convent life. Idealistic, full of good intentions and hoping to be holy, the author, as a young woman, first entered an extremely conservative order whose members lived as though they were still in the nineteenth century. On recovering from that ordeal, she went on to spend twelve years of spiritual discovery in another order. Though her understanding of her relationship with God developed, unfortunately she did not develop a corresponding understanding of herself and her relationship with others. She found that changing to yet a third congregation was not the solution to her own lack of self-insight.

If you mention the past, you die. ~~~ Phoenix, a young woman living in The City, has grown tired of unjust deaths, brutal killings, and punishment for individuality. Chips implanted in the throats of citizens ensure that any mention of life fifteen years ago is heard, by none other than the unnamed president known as The One, and his loyal Enforcers. Lies are uttered, trust is scattered, and fear coats the air. Having endured enough, Phoenix, seeking peace and safety, decides to travel off the Continent. An unexpected encounter with someone she never predicted she'd see again alters her plans, and her life. Facing old friends, new comrades, and cruel Enforcers, Phoenix finds herself confused about her role in the midst of all these changes. Strangers are turning into allies, a revolution is being born, and there is a continuous battle between her heart and mind. She does not know who to trust and who to kill. When you are surrounded by many but are completely alone, you start making dangerous decisions. ~~~ ONGOING ©Heba Mawid 2020

Mary Campbell's car breaks down outside a busy turnpike diner south of Cleveland, Ohio. Here she meets Milton Murr, a long-haul truck driver for Fleetmaster Corporation who offers to give her a ride back home to Indianapolis in time for her mother's morning wedding. As one major highway crescendos into another, it becomes increasingly clear Milton has a different destination planned for the two of them. He tells the story of a lone hitchhiker in Georgia. A young soldier recently discharged in South Carolina. And then there are other stories. With each one Milton grows increasingly agitated. Mary's only chance of escape is the CB radio fixed to the dashboard. And someone is listening. Someone trapped in his own kind of hell, barreling across a stretch of empty space called the Chamber. He can't communicate with Mary. But he can listen. And hope his next move is the right move...before it's too late. // COMPLETE FOR NOW... //
