What if the person you trusted the most suddenly became a stranger, who desperately wanted you dead? And if an hour later, they were back to normal? Detective Jack Arnette was a respected cop, before a hostage situation went horribly wrong. Victor Slade is a meditating, hedonistic cop-killer. When Victor makes a pickup at the Seattle docks, Jack sees a chance for redemption. A simple arrest. Respect regained. But events spin out of control when Jack and Victor are quarantined with the dock workers and a virus that can make anyone go temporarily homicidal. Trapped by a SWAT team with orders to shoot anyone who leaves the building, Jack must deal with a cop-killer who has little to lose, and a group of innocents who could become just as dangerous. Who would you trust when anyone could become a killer?

All monsters live behind a disguise, but are all monsters evil? She refuses to become a monster, even if her destiny dictates it. A story of hope, friendship, family, love, and sacrifices. NOT a werewolf/vampire novel.

This novella was a Hugo and Nebula nominee twenty years ago. I lost both to Charles Sheffield -- whom I married five years later. Life sometimes really is just as strange as fiction.

"Genuinely heartbreaking and frightening at the same time, a must read!", "I have never read a ghost story which affected me so deeply", "Well, no sleep for me tonight then", "Really moving, but when the frights kicked in it left me shaken. A terrific read.", "Truly frightening in a subtle, ominous way. It's rare that a horror story provokes emotion, but I was in tears by the end!" - Facebook, Wattpad, and Reddit users. Walking through the lonely cobbled streets of Edinburgh, a man reminisces about his first and only love; her life, and the horrific events which surrounded her death. Haunted by those memories, he frequents an old graveyard on the outskirts of the city, but has her spirit lingered on?

When Ember's mother murders her, Ember ends up in an afterlife that's nowhere near Heaven or Hell. Her only chance of survival involves accepting a fate far worse than death and become an Omen, a creature that collects evil souls, and if she dies this time, there is no Heaven, there is no Hell... RATE R for intense violence and gore, and suggestive themes. *I want to repeat that this book is EXTREMELY violent—the first chapter being the worse—but it's not gratuitous violence. There's a reason for it and will be revealed later on in the story. If you have a weak stomach, DO NOT read this book. You have been warned.*

When seventeen year-old Runner was sentenced to death for stealing a loaf of bread in MegaCity One, his dreams were literally at an end. But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel. In an attempt to free herself, she acquires an asset in the form of Runner and finds herself always at the edge, for if he survives it means freedom for both, but if he dies...

SAMPLE OF PUBLISHED BOOK THAT WAS FIRST WRITTEN ON WATTPAD. Fletcher was nothing more than a humble blacksmith's apprentice, when a chance encounter leads to the discovery that he has the ability to summon demons from another world. Chased from his village for a crime he did not commit, he must travel with his demon to the Vocans Academy, where the gifted are trained in the art of summoning. The academy will put Fletcher through a gauntlet of gruelling lessons, training him as a battlemage to fight in the Hominum Empire's war against the savage orcs. Rubbing shoulders with the children of the most powerful nobles in the land, Fletcher must tread carefully. The power hungry Forsyth twins lurk in the shadows, plotting to further their family's interests. Then there is Sylva, an elf who will do anything she can to forge an alliance between her people and Hominum, even if it means betraying her friends. Othello is the first ever dwarf at the academy, and his people have long been oppressed by Hominum's rulers, which provokes tension amongst those he studies alongside. Fletcher will find himself caught in the middle of powerful forces, with nothing but his demon Ignatius to help him. As the pieces on the board manoeuvre for supremacy, Fletcher must decide where his loyalties lie. The fate of an empire is in his hands ... Did you know that the Wattpad version of Summoner: The Novice is just a large sample of the first draft?
