✨Watty Shortlisted!✨ In Albia, the poor are scum, and there's no scum worse than Exotic immigrants. Shy, studious Sannah MaVae is determined to make something of herself, escape the expected fate of a young Exotic. It's just a shame her wild little sister Judit doesn't feel the same way. Then one day, Sannah's world changes. Judit is snatched away, taken to live in the wilderness as part of a savage tribe for a scientific experiment. Now, Sannah must do everything she can to save her. As Sannah negotiates sex, drugs and the criminal underworld of the city in an attempt to find her sister, this means she must face some wildness of her own. Meanwhile, for Judit, life in the wilderness isn't the fight for survival she expected. It's a whole lot weirder than that... 🥇Undiscovered Writers Awards 1st🥇 💡💡Wattpad Featured Story💡💡 ⭐️Top rank: 14 in Adventure⭐️ ⭐️⭐️19 in Science Fiction⭐️⭐️ ✨Cover Art by @italychick; Aesthetics by @ifeelokayish ✨

{star-crossed romance/forced proximity/18+} Normally, intergalactic drama doesn't reach into any place as backwater as the Milky Way Galaxy, let alone a planet as primitive as Earth. But an exception is made in Amelia's case. She is thrown into a deadly crossfire of a millennia-old feud between a fallen empire and a revenge-starved tyrant. With few options and even less time, she turns to an unlikely ally to save her best friend from the clutches of a monster and help unravel a conspiracy involving an assassin betrayed by the empress he served. Sacrifices will be made. Flames will attract. Prey will turn predator. Fate will be wholly defied.

"Are you human?" The boy looked delighted. "Why are you human?" _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Milo is a member of a research team sent by the Genetic Phenomena Centre to the Territory of Tribe 2, also known as TOTU: the land of a tribe of the animal-featured people who are thought to be the next stage of human evolution. The team's goal? To disprove theories that the tribe members are the dangerous creatures everyone thinks they are. But with prejudice, past mistakes, and the wild desert terrain, their task will be anything but easy, and their ultimate hope of having a tribe member return with them may prove to be impossible. **On hold until I get my act together! (sorry, I'm super busy) (send help) :( Chapters are short and sweet (all under 2000 words). Description written by the amazing @_Tally_the_Total_ Set in Australia (go us). Stand-alone book (at least for now). ;) Highest rank thus far: #470 in Fantasy. **

Earth has made first contact with an alien race. At the historic first meeting, an ambush put peace for humanity out of reach. Colonel Kyle Martin was there that day. It was his leadership and the bravery of his marines that saved what little hope mankind had. When Earth was threatened with invasion, Martin again felt the weight of war pressing down on him. Known as the Butcher of Hyderabad for his decisions in the Indian War, Martin seemed a poor choice to guard the peace but the perfect man to organize the forces of Earth to defend itself from the coming alien scourge. With a select team of humans and a few allies among the alien races, Martin is tasked with not only defeating the invading armada, but with making sure that Earth is kept free from any alien domination. Faced with impossible odds against an overwhelming foe with advanced technology, it is only a secret about Earth itself that gives Martin the glimmer of hope to succeed. With his “lucky charm” Ramirez, his go-to girl Kitch, and an unshakable Sergeant Major, Martin rolls the die time after time in audacious gambles with the stakes being nothing less than the survival of the human race. Face-paced action awaits in this military sci-fi adventure.

ELECTED is the sci-fi story of a girl who masquerades as a boy to take her country's presidential role in a futuristic America. It deals with issues of tolerance, gender, women's rights, and environmentalism. It's the first dystopian book written from the government's perspective. Book cover blurb: It's the year 2185, and in two weeks, Aloy will turn eighteen and take her father's place as president of the country. But to do so, she must masquerade as a boy to avoid violating the Eco-Accords, four treaties designed to bring the world back from the brink of environmental extinction. Aloy hopes to govern like her father, but she is inheriting a different country. The long concealed Technology Faction is stepping out of the shadows, and as turmoil grows within her country, cryptic threats also arrive from beyond their borders. As she struggles to lead, Aloy maintains her cover by marrying a woman, meanwhile battling feelings for the boy who knows her secret-the boy who is somehow connected to her country's recent upheaval. When assassination attempts add to the turmoil, Aloy doesn't know whom to trust. She understood leadership required sacrifice. She just didn't realize the sacrifice might be her life.
