Yalena Russo, your STAR Academy invitation has arrived. Unlike other teenagers across the near worlds, Yalena isn't space-crazed. But a surprise invitation to join the exclusive STAR Academy opens a window to her unknown origins, making her ponder... What if space is where she belongs? Mystified by the leadership trio known as the O'Donnells, as well as the reason they brought her on board, Yalena stumbles onto an alarming secret. Pulled deeper into the mystery by the commander's son, she will find that some riddles can be hard to walk away from-especially if she is the one holding the answers. Take a plunge into the not-so-near future, where travel is interplanetary, competition is a rush, and even the elite don't always play by the rules. ---This is an excerpt containing Chapter 1 only--- ---The full novel can be found on Amazon--- Genuine praise from Wattpad readers: @Romantic26: "Amazing chapter. This is such an excellent book. I cannot put it down." @kirch_123: "I'm honestly very nervous now. I did not see any of this coming!!!!" @annie1loves1you: "Oh my God! I can't WAIT for more!!! This is amazing! So realistic! I can't wait to see how this plays out! :D Keep up the great writing!" @mauigoa: "Woah, now that is what I call a cliffhanger. An absolutely amazing chapter! One answered question leads to a new question, which is great for the reader to be at the edge of their seats :)" ---ALL RIGHTS RESERVED--- The Unsound Theory is featured on Wattpad's reading list: Intergalactic Reads!

After decades of struggling, the broken remnants of humanity barely escape on the last starship from a cataclysmic otherworldly threat and wanders in the darkness of space for blind hope and a desolate future. They eventually find themselves on a journey and a fight for ancient wisdom, long forgotten civilizations and a mythical planet called Earth, yet the cycle of endless dark secrets, oppression, destruction and fear is in pursuit. And in the end, is there anything left? Takatsu's approach on the well traversed theme is a haunting literary and deeply metaphysical experience where the interstellar novel's grim and traumatized characters search the cosmos for answers to the greater age old questions on spirituality, the human condition, mortality, history, mythology, higher dimensions and our place in the stars. [Interstellar Sci-fi, Literary, Mysticism] --- This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless, Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best. Night, sleep, death and the stars. - Walt Whitman From the Watty's 2014 award-winning author of dystopian literary novel, Espresso Love.

(Book 1 in The Other Worlds Series) ***2016 FCRA's Wondrous Worlds Winner and a Wattpad Featured Story!*** ***A science fiction retelling of Beauty and the Beast*** As Paragon of her planet Terra, Odette understood what her duties included - intergalactic diplomacy, flight and defense training, and the knowledge and understanding of each alien race in the universe, friendly or otherwise. With the rogue tyrant leader of the planet Anur, Comae, threatening a path of destruction, she found herself on assignment to Earth, a planet she had a connection to in the past. Passing as a human girl, her mission was to get close the President of the United States...and she found a way when she met his son. Duke Mitchell was used to the cameras on him at all times, being the son of one of the most powerful men on Earth. With a new girl shaking up his world, he found himself falling head-first, especially with her fascination of random things, like sunsets through the autumn leaves and libraries filled with books. It wasn't until he learned her true identity that he, along with the rest of the world, realized they really weren't alone in the universe. When Earth fell into chaos, Odette and Duke were separated by both space and time - years passing for Duke, changing him into a scarred, beastly man, but only moments for Odette. When her ship was taken down by his forces in the ruins of New York City, Odette was captured and held captive, though friends from her time spent on Earth before made it more bearable. But with a final threat from Comae, promising complete annihilation, she must stand up and defend the planet and the human boy she grew to love...and somehow make Duke Mitchell stop thinking of her as the enemy.

I am asked several times each day to read the stories written by young writers here on Wattpad. As there is no way that I could possibly read and offer quality feedback to all who ask, this book is my Advice to Young Writers, based on my own 20 years of teaching writing to junior high to university students, on my 20 years of working as a freelance editor, on my publishing of two nonfiction books, and on the recent Fan Fiction Writing Class I taught online. I hope that young authors will find some good advice that will help them on their writing journeys here. Best wishes to all writers!!! :)

Hiccup Haddock and Jack Frost; the greatest pirates of their age. Merida and Rapunzel; two princesses stranded on a lost island. What happens when the four cross paths? Frying pans, arrows, blizzards and dragons. [The Big Four AU; no pairings planned] [Thank you, @kingdomdance for the ridiculously, unbelievably awesome cover] [Coming soon; planning still in progress but will most definitely be updated often]

Percy Jackson is a regular high schooler. Only difference? He is gay. Enter the new kid; Jason Grace. Thalia's brother who came to high school later for... Interesting reasons. Percy immediately falls for him and they start dating, but will their relationship last through Jason's secret? ***This description is not official. I will rewrite it when I finish the story and have it more accurate*** ***I do not, never have, and probably never will own the PJO characters. They are Rick Riordan's ideas and his alone. I am merely an unworthy teenager attempting to rewrite his characters into something new and (hopefully) entertaining***
