❝When it was quiet, I didn't have to worry about a monster trying to make me its lunch. I did, however, have to worry about my wandering thoughts, and I'd have a different monster on my hands if I let them wander too far.❞ ↣ A virus has erupted, turning loved ones into mindless, ravenous, killers. Where the rest of the world sees madness, Kathryn Johnson sees opportunity. She runs from her immutable hell, disappearing into the trees of Northern Georgia.

Through these people, Kathryn finds herself examining the walls she's kept herself locked behind. After a lifetime of unknown, a question waits for her on the other side: Can the broken be fixed? ↣ { Featured in the @WalkingDeadRoadtoSurvival "Top Walking Dead Fanfiction" reading list } { ➊ The Walking Dead } { ➌ The Walking Dead Fanfiction } { ❺ Daryl Dixon }

[ c o m p l e t e d ] "She looked like a goddess. The kind that sends cities to their knees in fear. The kind that is never in picture books. The kind that twists people." - - - - - April is a devil. A demon. And above all, she is a living mirror of her father, the tyrant looming over post-apocalyptic Virginia. Her teeth are made of barbed wire. After so many years of losing the people she loved, it's down to her to determine whether she lives another day. One cold morning, when the sky is still ink black, two forces meet in a wooded clearing. She's allowed to pick one, and only one, to bring back as her own. - - - - - If you like badass characters, this is for you. If you like crude, twisted humor, this is for you. If you like The Walking Dead, this is for you. Times are changing. The devils are rising. - - - - - [NEGAN'S DAUGHTER FANFIC] [CARL GRIMES FANFIC] Grammar nazis will be satisfied.

(slow to no updates currently) Shoot first. If you shoot first, the other guy can't shoot you. Look pretty. No one wants to believe the pretty one's got a gun. Don't get caught. This all doesn't matter, however, if all eyes are on you. And a missing king with a wanted foreigner criminal tend to attract lots of attention. This all started when there was a crown and no king to wear it. Whatever happened to the feeble boy who was supposed to take the throne, no one knew. Most assumed he finally died. The family taking over the royal tradition want to make sure that's the truth, one way or another. A bounty was placed on the supposed-to-be-king. Dead or alive, if someone can find him, then they get enough money to buy an island. Or, in Ramona's case, at least get off this one. She's hoping she finds a dead body, it'd save time and trouble. But he's not. All the time and trouble she wanted to save, she realizes all that's out the window. Because she won't let him die, either.

It's one thing to be a part-time vigilante whose deeds are so secret that even you can't remember them. I could deal with that. It's a completely different thing to be settled into a perfectly normal life only to have the past literally hold a gun to your head. That's a little harder to cope with. Juliet, Rory, Harper, Kennedy, and Grace. They have never been ordinary. That's what they discovered during their freshman year of high school when the blackouts started. Anytime two of them saw each other they'd all wake up hours--sometimes days--later with no memory of what just happened. Fast forward six years and they're in college without the fear of blacking out looming over them. It's a perfectly normal, college life. That is until Juliet took a trip to the bank. Join the dysfunctional group of retired vigilantes as they travel back to where it all started to save one of their own. [Wattpad Picks Up and Coming 6.7.18] [#15 in Action]

{WATTYS 2020 WINNER} {FEATURED BOOK} Paris, 1663. 500 girls selected by King Louis XIV embark on a journey across the seas from their homeland. Each is given a dowry, and the expectation that they are to marry a French settler, in order to increase the population of New France. They are the historic Daughters of the King, or "les filles du roi." Eighteen-year-old Celeste Dubois is a free-spirited, educated and headstrong girl. She comes from a wealthy Parisian family that has squandered their money and is subsequently forced to journey to New France. However, Celeste doesn't plan on marrying a complete stranger. She hopes to use the dowry and the free voyage as a way to escape the poverty and social ranks of Paris. Matters are complicated when against her will, she falls in love. Romantic, kind and stunningly beautiful Lorraine Leblanc is a girl from a large family with children to spare. Unlike Celeste, she happily dreams of the day she will meet her future husband in New France. When she marries a mysterious widower with two young children of his own and still reeling after his broken heart, she realizes that married life isn't all she had hoped it would be, and begins to question her new husband's complicated past. - Wattpad Picks Blast to the Future Past list 2018 - The 50 Best Wattpad Stories of 2018/19 by Design Wizard - 2018 Youngblood Awards Winner (Romance) - 2018 True North Awards 2nd place for Historical Fiction and 2nd place Truly Canadian special category award - Featured by Wattpad Historical Fiction profile under Kings, Courtships and Empires, Young Adult Fiction profile under Love, Actually and Romance profile under Time will Tell *Please be aware that since this book covers the colonial period, it does contain sensitive themes of racism and violence that readers will find disturbing.
