What if an algorithm controls your life? In the near future, California is plagued by civil riots. Exploding rent, high crime, and political corruption threaten the lives of ordinary people. Enter Crowd, an advanced social network that ranks each citizen by their contribution to society, ensuring justice for all. Want affordable healthcare or better employment? If you rank high enough, you can get it. Rayn Cruzada is an ambitious graduate who joins Crowd as a field agent. Her high score allows her to investigate citizens with problematic low ones. Conflict arises as no one understands the algorithms, and losing your ranking means losing your apartment and access to transport. Or worse... With California on the brink of civil war, Rain has to discover whether Crowd is the solution or a problem. Inspired by Black Mirror, The Circle, and The Social Network, Crowd is a pre-dystopian thriller.

Once upon a time, Leander decided to kidnap a sorceress. It didn't go to plan. [Wattpad Picks: Editors' Choice] Leander just wanted to forget the army now he'd left it behind him, but war had dogged the country for the past thirty years and forgetting was nigh impossible, especially when it looked unlikely to finish any time soon. Pretty, clever and vivacious, Miss Harper was surely the perfect distraction. If only she would give him the time of day... Unfortunately Miss Harper only had eyes for her big promotion (in whatever that job of hers was) and Leander didn't feature in her plans. All she was interested in was magic, something nobody took seriously, and the fate of the nation. Drunk and desperate, he made one final, wild attempt to be noticed by her. Magic, it transpired, was a little more serious than Leander had bargained for. If he thought he'd escaped the war, he was sorely mistaken: it was exactly where Lissy Harper was heading, and now she was taking him with her. Nothing was more dangerous than a sorceress when you'd got on her bad side. --- This is a complete (admittedly rough around the edges) story, updated on request/whim.

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites. But what happens when Angela gets thrown into Adriano's dangerous lifestyle? Can Adriano protect her from the evils he faces every day?

In a Futurist-Victorian London, Ex-Carnie Victor Hart makes his living as a dinner party entertainer and mountebank, using the skills taught to him by his Romani mother – the Patterns. When tragedy strikes a wealthy friend, Victor Hart puts his skills to use in an alternative manner. This Steampunk London has its fair share of psychos, sickos, and sadists, and it takes a special kind of mind to hunt them. Victor sees human behaviour in a way few others can understand but only as an outsider; certain parts of his humanity are missing and that disturbs him. As he solves each seemingly unrelated case, a dark pattern slowly begins to reveal itself threatening the heart of the British Empire and even what we feel makes us human. A Steampunk-detective-noir, darker than most, the first volume features four thrilling cases; the first novel in a Duology.
