"Great power comes with great..." I raised my eyebrows at Guardian, looking his skin-tight suit up and down. "Urges to wear spandex, apparently." "Are you using altered famous superhero comic book references to insult me?" he asked incredulously. I snorted. "You bet your fucking ass, I am." *** Crown City has all the typical big-city flare. There's a McDonald's on every corner, enough carbon emissions to end life as we know it, and a new supervillain trying to take over right before finals week. For Tessa Kingston, Supers are nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, Tessa likes to pretend that Supers don't even exist at all. Though Tessa isn't exactly shy with her not-so-popular thoughts on Crown City's resident vigilante, Guardian, he seems to have taken a liking to the annoyed teenager. Well, he and his buddies have, that is - buddies meaning two supervillains dressed in Walmart Star Wars masks. Crown City has always been a center for mayhem and superpowers, but when strange things start happening too often to be coincidences, Tessa finds herself in the middle of a fight she didn't start but she sure as hell was going to end. Villains torment her. Heroes try to save her. Tessa just wants to pass Supers 101. In a world full of Supers, it's up to normal-teenager Tessa Kingston to save her city. A typical tagline she's well-aware of, of course. As Tessa prepares to show these Super-fools they messed with the wrong girl, she just has one condition: There's no way she's wearing spandex. *** BOOK #1 OF THE "SUPERHEROES SUCK" DUOLOGY Featured on the Wattpad Adventure, Action, Superhero, and Humour profiles! WARNING: Contains mild swearing, cliffhangers, plot twists, and enough sarcasm to last a lifetime.

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE with an upcoming film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios coming to Tubi. Stay tuned for film release updates! In the meantime, read the original story that inspired the film. KISSING IS THE EASY PART is published by Wattpad Books. Please order from the link in my profile. *** Being beautiful might as well be Flora Morgan's only talent. Some of the words she hates include economy class, second-hand clothes, and budget. She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.

"And rule number three, knock before you enter my room," I finished, moving my fore finger down with the instruction. His smirk widened as he leaned on my door frame.

Mother Earth has always been kind to humanity. At least, she was. Out of frustration with human kind, she rips the world in two. Half of world is left with a colorful, caring spirit; fitting it's name, Joy. The other half is easily angered and always unhappy; also fitting it's name, Gloom. Mother Earth soon gets lonely and bored of her previous decision. She wants a change. She wants the world to come together, and merge as one once again. That's when she blesses Elyssa and Edmund. The chosen boy and girl, Elyssa and Edmund, are both outcasts in their own world. They were once nobodies. But now, as tension and drama thickens, they seem to be the only hope for survival. They also are part of the problem.... And they could, not on purpose of course, be killing off more people than they're saving. Highest rank: #188 in Fantasy On iBooks on June 21st!

You've probably read those stories about the damsel in distress who makes the hero swoon. They fight, they think the bad guy isn't actually a bad guy - but plot twist - her dad is actually behind it all. * cue dramatic gasps * Well this is a different kind of story. My name is Scarlet Walker, I was just released from a level 5 maximum security prison facility for super powered teenage delinquents. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't released because I did my time, I've been selected for a government team the people have been calling : Faction Five. They take supers from prison and use them as puppets. So I guess I won't be blowing up the city any time soon - unless I want my head blown off. I know what you're thinking ' wow badass spy missions, secret government hacking and jazz, that's so cool ! ' WRONG ! They put me and my team in school. Which - in my opinion - is much MUCH worse than spy missions and risking my life. The food is almost as plastic as the girls. I doubt I'll survive long enough without killing someone to complete my mission and have my prison sentence appealed. • • • • • •
