HIGHEST RANK#162 in teen fiction ............................................................. Since childhood, as every normal kid the girl too was an obedient child or to say an innocent child with simple dreams and expectations. Daddy's little girl and the star of her Mother's eye, the girl grew up to truly becoming an ambassador of her parent's dreams and ambitions. Say it societal pressure or sometimes even buttering own pride, just for the mere satisfaction of being able to boast of in front of a group of spectators, we often are made to do things which we simply hate, but call it mere fate or inability to retaliate, all of us have to pass through this phase sometime in our lives! This little girl however was a little more fortunate, to have such a phase that overshadowed almost a major chunk of her adolescence. Since then there had always been an undesired silence, an unabridged gap between the girl and her parents that made its brief encounters in its own form at such situations. ............................................................. When you do not have people around you to share even the smallest happiness or the slightest sorrow in your life and you get the feeling of being the only surviving human on the planet, you are alone. But what is being lonely then? Do these two things mean the same or something really different? Does a few compilation of words in a dictionary explain the meaning of these two words clearly? Well, Alone or Lonely is an intriguing tale of a young girl Mira Mathur, who is a simple college going girl who is neither depressed nor dejected with life but still faces issues of being solitary. The story mainly embarks upon the equation she shares with her parents, her friends and her not so friends! It is a journey that leads her to a complete new revelation about herself with bits of instances from our routine lives, which again poses the main question. Is Mira just a girl from another story or is she U, is she Me?

Highest Ranking- [Date/Month/Year] #21 in Humor [16/02/2017] --------------------------- Rape. A word which is used for women specifically. We live in this world where all the bad things happen only to women. Men are considered as "knights in shining armour" and women are considered as "damsels in distress", who needs a man to save her from all the bad's of this world. A man is supposed to be too "macho" in this world. Where he's supposed to act tough and not show his emotions at all times. Which, by the definition of this society, is a sign of a 'true man'. Well, what will happen if it's a guy who's in need of a rescuer? A guy, who's childhood had been robbed mercilessly from him. A guy, who couldn't defend his pride, dignity and honour. A guy, who was overpowered by someone else physically, mentally and emotionally, scarring him for life. Not every bad thing happens to girls alone. Guys suffer too. Which goes unnoticed by many people. At least girls can share their pain with others. But guys? They've this image they have to live up to. They're basically hurting themselves by keeping this to themselves. Cause according to this society, "Guys are supposed to be strong. They shouldn't cry or let their emotions be on loose." This is the story of a guy, basically this time around, it is 'A Knight In Distress'. Where's the damsel when a knight's in distress anyway? ----------------------- A/N: This book deals with Child Sexual Abuse. Based on a true event. Something which happened to a friend of mine. My intention to write this book, is to spread awareness about this sensitive issue. We all know that 'rape' is a common term which is used specifically for girls. But, it does happen to guys too. How many of us are aware of this issue? Please do give my book a chance and spread the word. Oh and this book will be as PG-13 as possible. - M

--Watty winner-- In Victorian London, monster hunting isn't just a job, it's a way of life. Freddie Westman, a reporter for a paranormal magazine, is one of the best in the business, but now it's personal. His childhood friend, Jim Penderry, has disappeared, and the signs point to sinister forces from beyond the grave. If Westman wants to save Jim, he'll have to face his worst fear. No, not fighting a demon with only a cake to hand. Something far more daunting. Sceptical Sophie Penderry doesn't solve mysteries or go on adventures. She's more at home in the library with her nose in The Botanist's Guide to Plants and Fungi. But she puts the science books away to help Westman find her missing brother, whether he likes it or not. Which he really doesn't. Westman is a loner, reluctant to lead anyone into danger. According to him, the supernatural is not just the stuff of folklore and children's nightmares, and a world of black magic awaits them. Now Westman must decide if he should push Sophie away for her own safety, or take a leap of faith and accept an offer of help and friendship. Either way, time is running out to find Jim, and worse still, they may not make it back in time for tea and biscuits. ~Featured story (Sep 2014 - Aug 2017) ~Selected by R.L. Stine's 'Slappy' (Goosebumps Movie's sponsored reading list) ~Winner of the Wattys 2014 HQ Love Award
