But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Prince Theodred isn't interested in the responsibilities that come with his title. The only thing he is interested in is partying, flirting, and the occasional gossip scandal. After all, if everyone thinks the worst of him, he'll never have to disappoint anyone. King Tristan and Queen Lena have had enough! After a particularly extravagant party, they give him an ultimatum: Resolve the rebellion in Woodport or be cut off financially. They want to change him, but he has no desire to be anything he isn't. Eager to get back to his life of indulgence, he heads north. Theo intends to squash the rebellion through whatever means necessary. Then he meets the rebellion's leader. She's mysterious and beautiful, even if her face is hidden behind an ornate mask. He wants to know who she is, what makes her smile, and why she won't give in to his demands. But perhaps doing things on her terms is the way to get what he wants. Perhaps he might just find that he cares. Perhaps he was wrong, and change is inevitable. Perhaps he might become the prince he's spent his life avoiding. Perhaps, it will all be worth it.

In the swirling vortex of time, a peculiar phenomenon occurred. Ahana, a brilliant and fiercely independent 25-year-old from modern-day New Delhi, felt an inexplicable pull towards the past. As she touched the ancient artifact, the Kalachakra, her world dissolved. When Ahana opened her eyes, she found herself in the opulent chambers of Avanti Nagari, 500 BCE. She inhabited the body of Princess Kalyani, the third daughter of King Manavendra. A princess known for her foolishness and carefree nature. But Ahana's arrival changed everything. First Thoughts of Ahana in Kalyani's Body: "What sorcery is this? How did I, Ahana, end up in ancient India? This can't be real... yet, the memories, the sensations - they feel so vivid." Ahana assessed her surroundings, her modern knowledge and analytical mind racing. The intricate politics, the strict etiquette, and the whispers of courtiers and eunuchs overwhelmed her. But Ahana refused to be intimidated. "I am Ahana, from a future era," she reminded herself. "I possess knowledge that can change the course of history." As Ahana navigated the complexities of Avanti Nagari's royal court, her sharp wit and cunning strategies left courtiers and scholars speechless. "How does she...? This is impossible!" Minister Radhagupta whispered. The ignored princess had become a force to be reckoned with. The Transformation Begins! Ahana's modern knowledge and intelligence would soon disrupt the delicate balance of power in Avanti Nagari. King Manavendra's wise and just rule would be tested. Prince Aryaman's protective nature would be challenged. Princess Nalini's jealousy would simmer. And Ahana's own fate would be forever entwined with the ancient Indian dynasty. The Story Begins!

Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.
