What happens when your day turns into your worst nightmare? Can you find a way to get through it all, or will you crumble under the pressure of the impossible that became possible before your very eyes? Those and other questions plagued Jasmine's mind, the mind of a regular woman who suddenly found herself in quite an irregular, potentially deadly situation. Her world will never be the same, yet she needs to find the strength to go on, to overcome all the difficulties that, at first glance, seem unsurmountable. Cover by @Kaiddance

Willing to risk her life, a seasoned soldier recruits a vengeful goddess to fight a war of the future. *** When UN Army Captain Akira Dunn is sent to investigate an outlandish legend, she doesn't question her orders. Realistically, she knows it's impossible that a goddess lives among them; even less likely is that said immortal is dead set on destroying the world's greatest enemy, Verus Rex. So when myth becomes reality, and she finds herself face to face with the goddess Danya, Akira begins to feel something she had forgotten over the last fourteen years of war: hope. Unfortunately, Concordia is far from an easy opponent, and the country in the sky seemingly takes pride in destroying the world beneath them. Danya's defiant personality, coupled with her sporadic outbursts of anger, doesn't help either, and it's Akira's job to keep the temperamental goddess in line. But Akira refuses to let that stop her. For the sake of their future, and for those that no longer have one, Akira intends to do whatever it takes to end the war once and for all. *** WARNING: This story contains depictions of suicide and violence that may not be suitable for some readers.

A hunt for treasure becomes a search for self. Lillian Fray, an adjunct professor at a community college, is asked to solve a puzzle involving a cryptogram and the link to a dead billionaire's sentient avatar. Her quest is fraught with racial politics and a hurricane tracking toward what used to be New Orleans. At stake is a sovereign fortune, the lives of her children, and the key to her identity. "It's not punk, but it has the sharp teeth." -Sam Broussard, Acadian Heritage & Cultural Foundation "I appreciated the technical layering of the cipher. Some of the details of the dregs of civilization were poignant." -David Sloan, author of "The Cameraman" "Pure noir. Your imagery puts me in smoky back-room deals on a black and white TV show in the late '50s. I was on that ship with Knightly and Zeke." -Carolyn Holland, author of "Behind the Dark Veil."

But, after her best friend was found dead and the Crowns were the only possible culprits, she was ready to take action.

Chartreuse ® ~ A Universal Solution* *if used as directed In an alternate dimension similar to our own, the mobile city of Neo-York is held hostage by its oppressive warden, a mysterious woman known only as "Big Sister." Little is known about Big Sister, but her rule is absolute, secured by synthetic military forces and advanced citywide surveillance. Those who oppose her are vaporized, their existence wiped from history. Neo-York citizen Nova Herdeem has had enough of living in fear. At great personal risk, she procures the assistance of the Negotiators: a trio of unlikely allies comprised of a samurai, a vampire, and a cyborg. Armed with their collective skill sets and Nova's knowledge, the Negotiators agree to end the tyranny of Big Sister. As they proceed in their reconnaissance, the Negotiators discover that there is far more to Big Sister than a power-hungry dictator, and the omnipresent and multifaceted product line known as "Chartreuse" may be the very key to her rule. || George Orwell meets Philip K. Dick meets classic literary and film characters in potentially the weirdest most tongue-in-cheek book on Wattpad.

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.
