Part guide, part rant. Everything I've learned on writing, from Wattpad, experience, or how-to writing books. Leave requests on the second chapter :)

Ilragorn's history never lies. The obedient ones live. The traitors always perish. In daylight, Indigo Sarte is the perfect daughter, a future student of the Healing Arts. In the shadows, he is a master of forbidden alchemy, ruthless and cunning, all in the name of fulfilling his wish for true freedom. Indigo's sights are set on The Academy-a prestigious establishment where aspiring alchemists are taught to master gifts inherited from their birthrights. But Indigo is recognized as a woman amongst his peers, and The Academy's rules are clear: Women heal. Men fight. Disobey-die.

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)

A ragtag group of misfits in hostile territory are fighting the clock to free a goddess from her temple. But nothing is as it seems with the Goddess of Trickery on their tail. Excerpt: "Have you ever felt lost? Adrift in the sea of death and emptiness with no motivation." He took her by the chin and gently forced her to look into his red eyes. "With no purpose." "When there are a thousand versions of you all around, that seem to be stars of their own play, what makes you special? When someone tells you that you are unique do you respond with 'just like everybody else?' " Hot tears escaped from Cathy's watery eyes as she squeezed them shut. "Please, just stop." E'dyn shook his head and cupped his hands around her face. "Do you ever feel like you are just a supporting character or some lowly stage hand in someone else's story? Just some passing extra character without a single line. No matter how you fight it, how you struggle with blood, sweat and tears, you will never become a shining star." E'dyn took a shuddering breath as he wiped her tears away. "The cycle will never end. Not until you draw your last breath. Because destiny did not choose you." He pulled her into a protective embrace burying his face in her hair, breathing her scent deeply. "But I did."

[Completed] ''I was born in flames and chaos. In one moment, I didn't exist at all. In another, air was tearing through the flesh of my lungs.'' Deep in an unknown forest, a young woman woke up alone and confused. She had no knowledge of her past, what she was, or who she was. Why was she in this world at all? Fate drove her into the hands of a family of vampires, all of whom brought relief in the slightest touch of her skin. But their touch was more than addicting. With each stroke, mysterious etches appeared on her flesh, divulging information thought to be lost to the world; information of magic, power, and a viciously murdered coven of witches. With no past and an uncertain future, she must find out her purpose in this life before the supernatural world takes her for all she has to give. Even more so, she must attempt to understand a craving she has for the dangerous vampire family she's found herself enslaved to; a craving to be touched.

Ryla is being hunted for a murder she committed with a magic she didn't know she had. The stories Ryla's been told about those who possess dangerous magic, the Woven, and the brave rebellion that destroyed them, are all she's ever known. Magic is illegal, and their beloved leader, the Prestige, hunts down those left in hiding for the protection of the kingdom. Ryla fears the Woven just as much as the next common-born ... until she finds out she's one of them. After accidentally killing one of the Prestige's men with magic, Ryla uses the only escape plan available- hiding in the wagons of the Caravan, a motley crew of performers and tradesmen. But the Caravan has its own secrets and Ryla begins to glimpse another world beneath the lies she's been told her whole life. The Caravan takes her to a refuge, but even amongst the Woven, Ryla is an outcast. Her magic is unpredictable, sometimes resulting in disaster. When the Prestige gets wind of her whereabouts, Ryla must leave the safe-haven and learn to fight back. If Ryla cannot begin to trust in herself and in the criminals she's always feared, it may bring ruin to them all.
