All Kelly wanted was to sell a few million in Canadian diamonds to fund her next scheme (annexing Quebec and ransoming a few small European countries are at the top of her list)...that is until the Kanuck Crusader goes and messes up her business model... And to top it off, her latest batch of minions wouldn't know a windchill warning if it hit them. Supervillains, bunny slippers, and Yukon. Enough said.

For best friends Mestoph and Leviticus the end of the world can’t come fast enough. Mestoph is a demon and troublemaker for Hell Industries, while Leviticus is an angel and cubicle jockey for Heaven, Inc. They might be unlikely friends, but they have something in common – they both hate their jobs. Unfortunately for them The End is nowhere in sight. The two take matters into their own hands when they come up with a scheme to get themselves kicked out of the Afterlife without spending an eternity in Purgatory. Their misadventure will take them from the tiny town of Truth or Consequences, NM to the highlands of Iceland as they cross paths and pantheons with Neo-Vikings, Greek and Norse Gods, and a Scottish terrier named Sir Reginald Pollywog Newcastle III.

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction

When his imaginary childhood friend appears in his bedroom, seventeen-year-old Avery Slater learns that getting rid of the dead is harder than he thought. Ever since childhood, Avery has been forced to listen to the whining of the dead. Crazy dead cat ladies and angry hit-and-run victims just love to tell him about their undead problems. After moving to the dinky town of Gravenhague, he thought he'd finally be able to leave all of that ghostly nonsense behind. Sebastian was never one for following plans. Fifty years old with the temper of a raging third grader, Sebastian has a task only Avery can complete: Find his killer and set his soul free. Not an easy thing when the only clues are a broken violin, a feather, and the faint smell of lilac before death. All Avery wants is to get this mystery over with, but with a seedy cult called Blacklight working to cover up the strange happenings of Gravenhague, it's more than a headache. As he descends deeper into the mystery, he discovers this isn't your average sleuthing case. Blacklight's spies are watching, and the town's occupants are less than hospitable. With disappearances and death shadowing him, Avery has to wonder if getting rid of Sebastian is worth the hassle. If being haunted by ghosts has taught him anything, it's that he never wants to be one. *Cover by ShardOfGlass

In which I am you, you are me, and we are the moments that define us.

Set in a futuristic pirate world, 'Blue' is about a young mechanic, Faia, aboard the pirate ship, the 'Restless', and how it all started when she helped save a mermaid. But that's not exactly true. What happens when this world is ruled by the Terra government, responsible for the enslavement of the merpeople to mine for rare minerals in the depths of the ocean? What happens when the merpeople rise up to fight for their freedom? And what happens to the pirates who are allied to the merpeople, to the Rebellion? Winner of the Young Writers Short Story competition (2014)!

I like people, they're strange. We'll all meet thousands, and thousands of people in our lifetime. Some, we'll know just their name, and others we'll know that they are afraid of ketchup, regularly work at the soup kitchen, and aspire to be a wedding photographer. Through this anthology, you'll meet countless people, and be given a glance (from a safe, comfortable distance) into a single (possibly awkward, uncomfortable, sad, optimistic, etc.) scene in their life; you can decide for yourself if you'd like to know more than their name, or not. © Jake Sullivan, 2014

Nora is just your average out-of-the-closet bisexual. She's sick of being told that bisexuals needs to pick a side, that they have to like one gender more than the other, and that bisexuality just doesn't exist (mostly from her lousy boyfriend), so she does something about it. And what she does is about to change her life forever: She pretends she's a lesbian to avoid getting so much hate for being bisexual. That means breaking up with her boyfriend (something he just wasn't happy with). Then, she meets Reagan, who's originally just a fake girlfriend to Nora while her mother comes to visit her in college, but Reagan ends up meaning so much more. What happens when Nora realizes the label "bisexual" doesn't fit her anymore? [All Rights Reserved. © Ashley M / headqueerleader] [Cover made by @lydiarse - thanks again!]
