[Caffeine is out now in paper back and Kindle!] "Medium black with three sugars, please." Isaac Hensick was your typical popular high schooler. He had tanned skin, girls on each arm and lungs full of cigarette smoke. But what most people didn't know was that he had a passion for drawing and a taste for black coffee. Most people, that is, except for Aspen.

Chase Parker tried to kill himself at midnight last night. His attempt failed **** Ronnie Harper; the seventeen year old with an attitude and tongue as sharp as the blades on her ice skates Chase Parker; the suicidal eighteen year old hockey player with a death wish. After rumors of Chase trying to kill himself spread around the school, the last thing Ronnie wants to do is work with the depressed Class-A pessimist on a psychology project. With secrets lying under the surface of the ice, both teens find that maybe they aren't as different as they once thought and Ronnie may be the only one able to keep Chase alive.

THE CIRCLE OF THE QUR'AN(#3)... "In a world of genius scholars and ascetic saints, of sinners and sorcerers, a world of scheming leaders and kingdoms in turmoil, and when spirits created from fire appear, only one would survive who brings to his Lord a pure heart..." Over a thousand circles, a hundred schools, seven provincial cities, One Great Gathering.. and a competition to determine those who are chosen under Heaven, and - those who would become Legends... For a hundred years, the Kingdom of Qalb-ul-Ard has stood supreme in the land so no other contemporary power could match. This is a land where knowledge, purity of the heart, and morality is everything... ... School reopens on the island city Competitions arise, and so do aspirations.. Even as they work hard to secure a position in this year's GQRC, a strange decree by the frenzied King Dhul Qarnayn, changes all the rules of the game. With Arkaan searching desperately for the remaining pieces of the Saint Stone, time is running out when their High School - Iqra Complex, is suddenly haunted by a series of strange events. Things can't get more serious, until the lives of students are endangered, with the threatened closure of the School.. And what if Arkaan's theory is right - that a malevolent spirit is bent on making their junior year a living Hell? "A riddle a night, for a soul." Would Arkaan and his friends from the Circle be able to best and outlive the exploits of an ancient Scheherazade, in her eerie tale-telling, each, ending in a seemingly unsolvable riddle? And when Princes arrive on Madinatu Asghar with spurious intentions, and thieving mages stalk high schoolers from the shadows, the biggest question till then is perhaps asked, How does one survive High School for a term..? "Time is ticking, dear. ..dawn is near." School reopens on the island city Danger lurks everywhere...

A/N: This is an unedited, significantly different version of the soon to be published novel by losangelesque aka L. Akhter. This draft was written when I was 15-18 years old and I highly encourage new readers to read the published version instead. Former high school football star Frank Novak meets profound and depressed loner Lolita Abri - and falls headfirst into love. Throughout the course of one school year, they unravel each other and their sadness, setting apart their differences and realizing that sometimes love isn't enough - and sometimes it just might be.

When Clyde Parker, the wayward son and the rotten-apple of the Parker family-tree, storms his way back into Avery Fields, he sets out a flurry of butterfly effect in Dawn Marshal's life. **** For Clyde Parker, Dawn Marshal isn't just the overachieving wonder-child, she's the girl who pulls him out of the ocean of his blues and declutters the red-alert zone his heart is. She's the girl who saves him, not just from the harrowing ghosts of his past but from himself too. For as long as she can remember, Dawn Marshal has been coasting her way through life keeping trouble at bay. But on a Saturday night in September, it all changes. Trouble walks into her life clad in leather and a devilish smile. Trouble has blue eyes too. And now she doesn't know how to keep trouble at an arm's length when she's neck-deep into it. Perhaps, it would take a lot more than defying gravity to prevent from falling into the enigma Clyde Parker is. Copyright © Nafisa Islam, 2020. All rights reserved.

Plan A might have been just as dangerous as the police insisted it was safe. It involved being locked away, out of sight and communication, and didn't solve the problem that Fran's stalkers seemed to have access to police files and data. Plan B the police didn't know about, and while the stalkers were at least temporarily out of the picture, it posed other problems. The police are now searching for her. Her stalkers are still looking for her. Her roommate doesn't know she's not a boy and a depressed teen movie star wants to be her friend. Being found out would blow her safety. Not to mention that the country thinks she might just be the victim -- or the cause -- of a spate of murders in the surrounding towns. Going to Darkwood private school was a risk, but not as risky as Plan A. The worry of trying to keep herself hidden from her schoolmates might become her main problem, but it still doesn't answer the most worrying question of all: just who were those stalkers, and what did they want? -- (Just so you all know, I've entered this book for the Hotkey Young Writers Prize. It would mean the world to me if you could support Plan B by voting for the first chapter (only votes on the first chapter count) before September 13th and then encouraging as many people as possible to read and vote as well. Thank you all so much!)

Love is found in a constant state of change. It transforms and evolves. Within our hearts, it is that love that changes us into every form we may take. Love is beautiful and soft and kind but sometimes, love takes the shade of darkness. And it is that love, that destroys us completely. (Slow updates)
