It isn't the bad things you intended to do that come back to haunt you. It's the ones you never meant to happen, that you can't bear to take responsibility for, that fester and grow over the decades. When you know you have nothing to lose, mistakes are inevitable. I've completed this story, but couldn't get any views on here, so I've tried Amazon's KDP Select instead. Read the first few chapters free here and look it up on Amazon under my name for the rest, it will be free if you are a Kindle Unlimited user.

"This is why I love you." He smiled, his eyes staring down at me. I felt my cheeks heat up. "I thought you were too cool?" I teased him. He chuckled, and as he leaned back in his chair, he combed his fingers through his dark brown hair. He sipped on his coffee before replying, "Just let me be romantic, will you?" His eyes filled with amusement. I smiled into my cup and nodded, watching him take my hand and place a kiss. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harmony Gem Carson is starting her last year in high school and is quite nervous. Couple of days before school starts she meets her new neighbours. Jasper and Genevieve McCarten.

She's a girl scared of what her future will turn out to be at the end of her high school career. With new neighbours, broken friendships, coffee stores and book nerds, how will Harmony's future turn out?

During the thousands years of war between Heaven and Hell, two humans were thrown straight into the war zone when God blessed them with the ability to put an end to the war. The plan was to have at least one of them choose either Heaven or Hell; however things didn't go as expected and even the now Devil's heart was broken in the process. Not even the angels or demons know what happened and why nor where this turn of events would take them. Years later, one of the blessed ones named Michelle descended to Hell to fix the things left behind in the past by finalizing the peace offer that was made between the two sides as well as mending the Devil's broken heart. The question is can she actually do it? Or does she have to realize that she might just have destroyed her own happiness by taking things into her own hand? In any case, the questions from the past shall be answered and soon we will all find out who was the real fool during the the bloody war that nearly killed everyone. _________________________ This short story is completely fictional. There are also some references to archangels, Satan, devils, etc. And a special thanks to @TemptingCheese for making this beautiful cover picture!

There's only one thing I love more than writing: Traveling. And I've been lucky enough to do so constantly. There's no hierarchy or actual order to these fragments - they are simply bits and pieces of places that have stirred words within me. This travelogue combines my love of writing, traveling and photography, and I invite you to come take a look.

This was a Short Story I was writing recently, and had hoped to send it for publication. It is an alternate 'take' on the myths surrounding Arthur, Merlin and Excalibur; a bit more 'Game of Thrones' if you will... In the end, I missed the deadline, and went horribly over budget with the wordcount. I slashed it down, and tried to tighten things up as it was overcomplicated and sickeningly adorned with flowery-prose. I really would just like some thoughts and advice, please... I'm aware, especially as a few weeks have elapsed since I wrote it, of it's short-comings.

Religion rules Constantine's world...and she has been condemned as the Spawn of the Devil. She is a Champion, a human being blessed with superhuman abilities by the deities of her world. However, her patron happens to be the Lord of War and Strategy - and women were never supposed to be Champions of War. In order to survive in a world that would rip her apart, she disguises as a boy, training to fulfil her supposed destiny. But fate has other things in store for her. An ancient evil is rising - and only Constantine may have the power needed to fight it. Along with a brash warrior and a too-perceptive scholar, Constantine begins to unravel secrets of a prophecy foretelling the end of the world. Now, she must learn how to fight evil with nothing but a magical knife as well as powers she knows next-to-nothing of. The real problem though? She may have been the one to call the great evil in the first place. ************ Now a Wattpad Featured story!
