Hi, I'm Lonely. No, I'm not feeling lonely. I am Lonely, or Loneliness, or Lo for short. My soul is split into billions of pieces and each of those pieces represents a person. Their piece follows them around, embedded in their minds and all they want is for it to go away. But it doesn't, and that's my fault. But I visit the pieces sometimes, and even some of them I grow fond of. The ones I grow fond of? Well here are some of their stories.

On a continent dominated by powerful beings called Elementals, who wield the strength of the four Elements - Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire - Prince Kallai has served as an influential player in the games of war and leverage.

The child of the rulers of Fire replaces Kallai as next heir to wield Sword of Fire, the formidable Weapon forged by the Dragon Herself that chooses the ruler of an Element. Kallai, distraught and vengeful, decides that he alone deserves to rule. He enters a deadly scheme in his quest to strip Aedus of his power and be next in line as King of Fire. But as he learns more about the new prince, Kallai must consider where his allegiance should lie. **Cover by @So_Happily

Siena can heal wounds with a touch of her hands. A captive since birth, she is used as a tool of war by a Plainsmen tribe. A chance escape into the forest proves successful... and deadly. Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die. The choice seems obvious to Siena, but living with the repercussions of that choice is another matter altogether. A journey of self-discovery, a bit of adventure, and a splash of romance. On the Wattys 2017 Shortlist!

{COMPLETED!} A story of twists and turns, and an epic struggle. He was there. And then he was gone; vanished. Ellen's attacker was killed in broad daylight under unusual circumstances. One minute he was behind her; the next, caught between the hoods of two cars. That's when she questioned how normal she truly was. But when she becomes exposed to an unknown world, she quickly learns that there is more to life than meets the eye. Necromancers, sleight of hands, illusions, and trickery are amongst the many tools used by others to hunt her kind. The struggle becomes real as she fights to remain untouched; all whilst in the middle of an epic blood battle between good versus evil. "Through all of the countless crap stories and recycled tales, Untouched is a rare diamond in the rough. With tantalizing descriptions and characters with incredible depth, T.K. Kotkoda paints a unique tale that is a much-need change from the stereotypical Paranormal story. It has been my pleasure to read it." - JDGRIMM - Highest Paranormal Rank: #28 [5 May 2017] -

We live in a world. Where people can control the stars above And the Earth below. Where gravity is just a word and time has no authority over us. We live in a world where extraordinary people Can control just about everything. Everything except for their own fate. A Tainting Light follows the story of an eighteen-year-old boy that was gifted with authority over fire. His mother had command over water and they were both hiding their abilities from the world. When Finn loses control of his emotions, his world slowly crumbled in the flames. We follow him into a completely different world where almost everyone has authority over something, but it is not as glamorous as he had pictured. Right before Finn's mother passed away she told him everything about Centure, an island off the coast of California where the manipulators live. She told him about the variations of power that her people possess. Extraordinary people can control just about everything- everything except their own fate.

The craved are dangerous because once they are claimed, they gain authority over another substance.The seven other craved and Finn search for a mythical item that they believe will change everything, but when both good and evil are seeking their demise, it is only a matter of time until they have to give up, or risk everything trying.
