There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

He was the prince who got away. He had it all - power, fame, glory, honor. (Did I mention the unlimited supply of money, alcohol and women?) Yet he chose the human world.

When Victoria is hired to kill a mysterious stranger, she didn't know she was dealing with royalty. Of the immortal kind. Their worlds are about to get intertwined in a way neither could've foreseen. Welcome to a place where pretences are everything and everyone lies to get what they want. There will be scandals. Conspiracies. Betrayal. Love. Vampires, angels, magic and smoking hot men. And of course, a whole lot of "What the hell just happened?" *** Current ranking - #1 on Fantasy Wattpad Featured book Fiction Award Winner 2017 Completed

I MAKE BOYS CRY - or - HOW I CAME TO OWN A CHEST OF BROKEN HEARTS I DIDN'T REALLY WANT *** ''My heartbeat quickens, as his hand accidentally brushes mine. He looks up, and our eyes meet. My breath catches in my throat. Right now, right here, he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He continues talking, pretending nothing has changed, but his eyes- his eyes never leave mine, and they, too, are talking to me. While he calmly continues his anecdote, his eyes are asking a shy question, are wispering in awe and wonder at finding his own feelings mirrored in mine, laugh out in joy at our shared realisation, then suddenly stutter with a touch of fear, a flicker of nerves, but then speak loudly of his growing excitement - that puts the lie to the calm and even tone of his voice - as, never looking away, his warm hand carefully, deliberately, touches mine again. And thus, it is confirmed. I am in love. And, miraculously, so is he. Poor schmuck.'' *** Some are normal, some are strange, some are IT-geeks, some punk, some mainstream. Some are idiots and others highly intelligent. Some look just as bad as I do, and some are drop-dead gorgeous. But there is one thing, they all have in common. They all cry, in the end.

And she knows her duty. Now a woman at sixteen years old, Edith must marry and beget Ewert's next heir. She obediently considers suitor after suitor, some sweet, some baffling, some detestable. But the more she sees of her mother's society, the more Edith questions whether she really is a Folk lady, after all.

"Is she an MR?!" 'What's an MR?" Tom asks responding to Violet's question and me being myself I interrupt the conversation. "MR?! I know what's an MR! M stands for Miss and of course I'm a Miss. And R stands for Romantic. And I'm a very romantic person. So that explains that I'm an MR." I smirk at them. "No Miss Romantic! MR stands for Mentally Retarded. And I asked if you are one?" my jaw drops and a gasp leaves my lips. What?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? "Of course I am!" I respond dropping all other jaws in the room in process. I continue with my tribal dance swaying my hips, waving my hands in air and closing my eyes only to end up on the floor and start laughing all over again. Am I the only one laughing? Of course!
