"Mooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeee, this book is like air, i need it!" @noromance101 "These chapters are written BEAUTIFULLY! You are, without a doubt, my favorite writer on this site. " @nagykt "Reading this feeds my soul." @Yrthraethra Sixteen-year-old Mirra can see people's memories. She is a Shadow Weaver, one of the outlawed, glitter-eyed race feared in her land and forced into brutal slavery as children. She and her brother Kel have escaped their fate by hiding near the frozen mountains. But when bounty hunters snatch Kel, Mirra injured and unable to track long distances will lose him unless she gives herself up to his captors. As as a Shadow Weaver who's survived childhood and whose golden-flecked irises have faded, concealing her talent, Mirra's own value is priceless on the black-market. Taken to a lawless town in the northern territories, Mirra convinces her captors to sell her to a mysterious young man destined for the same province as the officer who has bought her brother. The young man is the Kingdom's missing Prince, feared dead after his escort was attacked on an expedition. He has been in hiding, waiting for a Shadow Weaver whose skill he can use to discover who ordered his assassination. But before he will risk breaking his father's law and taking Mirra to the royal court, he must test her talent and her ability to hide it. If Mirra fails, her hopes of seeing her brother again will be cut by the noose around her neck.

There was once four frogs who lived in a small pond, deep in the forest. The first three frogs were large and happy, but not the fourth frog. Todd was rather petite, usually squeaked when he croaked, and desired nothing more than to be a true hero. Which is why the day a golden ball bounced through the ferns and came crashing into their own murky pond, Todd thought he might finally have his chance. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Cover art by @StrangerSight

A short fairy-tale about a prince who discovers marriage to a princess isn't his happily ever after, and a frog who offers him a very different alternative. This story is also written with a very specific limitation to all the sentences- can you find it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover design by @randomthingsbyme

Winner of a Watty Award, 2015! In Serrador, your name is your greatest vulnerability. Those with one suffer under a regime of magic and absolute control, while those without are forced to live on the fringes of society. When four unlikely rebels manage to sneak into the Citadel and assassinate the King, his tyrannical rule is ended. But with the Princess on the run, and the King of Pryvia threatening war, it will take more than idealism to keep the peace in Serrador. The King is dead... Long live the revolution!

I am Prince Laen Braed. If you are familiar with the stories of @LaDameBlanche, specifically The Dark Series, The Dark Prince etc, you will already know much of my story. These are excerpts from my diary beginning in 1842 shortly before my sixteenth birthday. I am doing this under protest as apparently it will be "good for me". I heartily disagree and hope you will leave well alone and not read a word and we can put this behind us. Anyway. Here it is. Do as you will. Laen.

Phones, light typing...and murder. Think breaking into show business is hard? Try landing a temp job without office skills. That's the challenge facing aspiring actress Isobel Spice when she arrives in New York City, fresh out of college and deficient in PowerPoint. After being rejected by seven temp agencies for her lack of experience, Isobel sweet-talks recruiter James Cooke into letting her cover a last-minute vacancy at a bank. New to his own job, and recently sober, James takes a chance on Isobel, despite his suspicion that she's a trouble-magnet. His misgivings are borne out by lunchtime, when she stumbles across a dead secretary in a bathroom stall. Can Isobel find the killer before he strikes again?
