This is a short story of how one's name came about. It is a unique name not borne by many, and its coming about was also in a unique way...

Three girls brave the road to purity, the inevitable heartbreaks, the inevitable temptations. They are willing to live for all those certain beautifully precious, seemingly fleeting moments interspersed between the broken. °°° "Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity." - John Henry Cardinal Newman °°° "Deep within yourself, listen to your conscience which calls you to be pure . . . a home is not warmed by the fire of pleasure which burns quickly like a pile of withered grass. Passing encounters are only a caricature of love; they injure hearts and mock God's plan." - St Pope John Paul II °°°

Meet Scarlett Woods; a girl different from no other, yet as rare as they come. She's a nerd, yes. She stutters, she's awkward and she'd rather not have more than one person talk to her at a time. Yet, she's badass, she knows when to grab an opportunity and is in no way weak like most nerds are inevitably thought to be. Enter Nathan Cullen; the new student, a nerd not unlike Scarlett and the owner of a smile that can send any girl's heart into overdrive. Nathan waltzes in Scarlett's life, changes everything for the better and mingles with her friends: Allie, Adrian, Evan, Emmett, Lauren and later on Ricky. But amongst the drama with Jonathan, a past chapter from Scarlett's life she'd rather not acknowledge, the continued attempts to keep up a normal façade, the insistent tries to develop a taste for strawberry ice-cream once more and failed efforts to reconcile with her parents, will Scarlett and Nathan be able to make it? Will they fall in love over long chats about Harry Potter and Twilight? Will Nathan's humorous outlook coupled with Scarlett's snarky jokes seal the deal? Will these two people, as alike as two peas in a pod come together only to crash and burn? Will the good girl/bad boy cliché be broken? Will they last long enough to make it? COMPLETED.

This is a tale of a man and the monster that inhabits him. When a young boy loses everything, he gains the power to cast his revenge. In the juxtaposed fantasy world of Tethra, a mysterious form of creature roams the lands, known as Darkbeasts. Darkbeasts, named for their pitch-black and monstrous appearance, have inhabited Tethra for as long as mankind and Beastmen can remember, though their origin is still unknown. They don't procreate, yet their numbers never dwindle, no matter how many Beast Hunters kill. Beast Hunters are specially trained warriors, whose sole occupation is to simply hunt and kill Darkbeasts. Some extremist Beast Hunters however, also target Beastmen, who seem to be hybrids of human and animal. There aren't many Beastmen in the world, as they are widely hated and discriminated by mankind, and most of them come to be labor slaves of any variety. A large organization known simply as "The Brotherhood" oversee all Beast Hunter activity, and even have sway in government decisions. The Laminas, a husband and wife skilled in blacksmithing, design weapons for the Beast Hunters, specially made to be more effective at killing Darkbeasts. The Laminas recently bore a son, who they train in smithing and combat. This tale is of a medieval/gothic fantasy setting, and will span many themes, such as action, revenge, and romance.
