Stacey Williams had always loved Axel Teller. But he had paid her no mind. She wanted more than the meaningless flings they had. She wanted her love to be returned. She wanted to be loved back. She did everything to get his attention. She had one-night stands with countless boys - throwing away her innocence - and tearing apart her reputation. All for him. But Axel didn't notice Stacey as anything more than a girl to have a fling with on the side. And Stacey watched as the boy she loved fell for another girl, and they were happy and complete. And Stacey was alone and hated. Tarnished and scarred. She was the girl he left behind. [The first book won the 2015 Wattys for the Cover-to-Cover award and 2016 Fiction Awards.

Arisela's life has been a never-ending rollercoaster. She is a beautiful, smart, talented girl; she had dreams that she wanted to fulfill, just like all of us do. But all those were thrown down the drain. From having a rough past and present life too, made it almost impossible for her to build the life she wanted. The life she yearned for. Behind all these facades, she was bullied and abused. People hated her; how perfect she was to the eyes of others. Mockery, lies, and shame were thrown at her. All she wanted was to have friends to protect her, a complete family to love, and a normal life. What happens when she cross paths with the most selfish and conceited bully who makes her life a living hell every day and hates her for no particular reason (or is there?) but... became the person who saved her life?

A #BLINK Novella. John is in a coma, stuck in a dark abyss, and his ability to look at a photo and enter that moment in time can't help him here. Not unless his guardian angel Semila gets him a photo from back on Earth, and there's only one way to get there--a dark road straight through Hell. A collaboration by @cashjo and @joycronje This book is a 1.5 book, which means it makes most sense if you've read BLINK already. You can find it on my profile. (c) 2015 Steve Ford & Joy Cronjé

'I don’t know how I do it, but I can look at a photo and enter that moment in time. Is it real? Hell, I don’t know, but something happened last time, something weird. I think I can change time and that fucking scares me.' A serial killer is on the loose, taunting police for years. A near fatal accident and a murder will change John forever unless he uses ‘the Blink’ one more time. {Wattpad Featured Story} {highest rank #1} BLINK is a work of fiction.

Cancer: A malignant and invasive growth or tumor caused by abnormal cell masses, tending to recur after excision and to metastasize to other sites That's the definition of cancer. 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with it every year. Annually, 500,000 people in the United States... they die from it. And 13% of people that die every year die from cancer. Cancer has a track record that goes on longer than possibly imaginable, but it's still here today and there's still no definite cure for it. So when a loved one falls into its clutches, not much good comes out of it. It ruins lives. It puts out love like rain puts out a fire. And it doesn't stop to realize the damage its doing. Those are the things that I'd gathered about the disease that took his life. Those are also the things I hated to think about. They just made me feel emptier inside than I already was. I knew I'd probably never get over him. I knew that I wasn't allowed to anyways. I made a promise. .....But could I keep it?
