A power kept secret for 2000 years. A woman who stands to lose everything. India. When a nun is burned alive on the sacred ghats of Varanasi, and the stone she carried is stolen, an international hunt is triggered for the relics of the early church. Forged in the fire and blood of martyrs, the Pentecost stones have been handed down through generations of Keepers who kept their power and locations secret. Until now. The Keepers are being murdered, the stones stolen by those who would use them for evil in a world transformed by religious fundamentalism. Oxford University psychologist Morgan Sierra is forced into the search when her sister and niece are held hostage. She is helped by Jake Timber from the mysterious ARKANE, a British government agency specializing in paranormal and religious experience. Morgan must risk her own life to save her family, but will she ultimately be betrayed? From ancient Christian sites in Spain, Italy and Israel to the far reaches of Iran and Tunisia, Morgan and Jake must track down the stones through the myths of the early church in a race against time before a new Pentecost is summoned, this time powered by the fires of evil. The first in the ARKANE series, PENTECOST is a fast-paced thriller that explores the edges of faith against a backdrop of early Christian history, archaeology and psychology.

Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad. Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools. Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times. The story unfolds beginning October 24.

Note to readers: I am so sorry that I have to put this story on hold, but the reason is that I have very important exams coming up soon and are doing a lot of other activities so I haven't had much time to go on Wattpad. I hope you understand. :D If you need any other information, contact me via PM or Meebo. I hope to get this story on the run soon, but until then I hope you won't hate me for taking a little break... :D Stella was abandoned on an island in the Atlantic when she was only a tiny little girl. As she was sleeping, the waves tried to pull her into the sea and drown her. Her luck and fate rescued her as the King of the Atlantic Reef found her and saved her by transforming her into a mermaid. However, his spell was not strong enough for her complete transformation, and so she wasn't a full mermaid. Now her strength and powers are starting to drain away. She can no longer swim and is very ill. She has to make a choice. She can become a human again and live on land with those of the same speices. Or she can follow her heart and become a full mermaid to stay with her new family under the sea. Will she make the right choice?
