A young minstrel searching for inspiration, finds it in the castle of a wicked king who keeps two cursed lovers as his slaves. This is a short story I wrote in 2003, I think, and it was published in a chapbook locally as the winner of a local short story contest. I'll be posting it in four parts.

The sequel to Freaks of Greenfield High: True love isn’t a cake-walk when your girlfriend’s a cyborg! The timing couldn’t be worse for Jay to take her relationship with Tyler to the next level—especially when her idea of “the next level” proves to be vastly different to Tyler’s. Building a life together and adapting to each other’s quirks is challenging enough without the secrets they’re keeping blowing up in their faces. Their relationship is tearing Tyler’s family apart. Worse, the ex-girlfriend from hell shows up on their doorstep, destitute and desperate for a place to stay until she sorts out the latest hot mess she’s embroiled in. Jay’s not exactly thrilled about Tyler’s ex turning up out of the blue, but it’s better to keep your enemies close, right? Sure enough, the ex has an agenda. But discovering who is manipulating her behind the scenes isn’t easy, even for a super-smart computer-savvy cyborg. Then a vulnerable member of Tyler’s family is threatened, forcing Jay to confront a ghost from her past who’ll stop at nothing to destroy her. And this time, the weapon he’s chosen to take Jay out with really could be the death of her.

[Name] is a rogue ninja who wanders alone through the ninja lands. She's the type of bandit who steals from the rich and gives to the poor, the ninja world's very own Robin Hood. Although, when she gets an offer she just can't simply resist from Akatsuki, she accepts - of course - and gets a mission, something she hasn't gotten in years. Her mission is to travel to Konoha, where not many have heard of her name, and she must gain the trust and a rightful place in the Village, where a Jinchūriki is suspected to reside in. When the time is ripe, she must capture the Jinchūriki, bring him/her to the Akatsuki, and of course, get her reward. The catch? She must pose as Uchiha Obito's mother, who has been suspected to be dead for years. In which she must spend half of her life-time acting as a kindly mother, a loyal wife (which is hard because of a certain Hatake), and a Konoha ninja. Yes, she had the perfect life here...NOT! » AU!Naruto Fanfic « // » Sakumo x Reader x OC «

There are hundreds of fantastic books about writing for hopeful authors to choose from, but most of them are boring, complicated, and bogged down by filler. This little book is brief, straight forward, and easy to understand. I hope it will serve as an easy-to-read manual to help serious writers perfect their craft. I should say right off the bat that I am NOT an expert; I forget my own tips all the time! However, I do know what generally works for me, so I thought I could pass it on to my friends at Wattpad. One last note: this book is for writers who have a basic understanding of grammar and story structure. If you’re interested in more fundamental steps you can take to write a great story, check out the companion to this book!

Born with a damaged heart, Leanna Weston has lived a sheltered life with little chance at adventure. When she hears that Finvarra's Circus is coming to her small town, she sneaks off to witness the magic first hand, sure that this is her only chance at experiencing true magic-even if the frightening rumors about the heartless Ringmaster, Finvarra, are true. Caught by Finvarra, Leanna is given one chance at survival: she must join the circus. As slowly she becomes part of the strange family, Leanna learns that there is more than magic to this circus, but an ancient curse that has tied Finvarra's life to its rings. If the circus fails, he dies. Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?
