All her life, Mieko Miyamoto has struggled to be the perfect student, daughter, and athlete. She has sacrificed her childhood to please her teachers, tutors, parents, and coaches only receiving a rare "good job" in return, and never hearing the words "I love you" from any of them. Jack Patrick, an American kid growing up in the xenophobic culture of Japan, just wants to get by. He knows he will never fit in and just hopes to get through high school without attracting unwanted attention. Finding in this outsider, a love and acceptance she didn't know was possible, Mieko casts aside the expectations of both her parents and society, sacrificing her future for the present passions she finds in Jack. Though everyone she knows seems determined to pull them apart, Mieko focuses her unyielding discipline and determination into being with Jack... ....even if it might kill her. Kokuhaku is Jack's side of the story of how they met. Kabedon is Miko's side of the story. The remainder of A Tanabata Story--the disaster that binds them together and the wild success that begins to tear them apart--will be re-written and expanded through a series of novellas.

Happiness flared in your eyes and for the first time in a while it began to in mine too. Even if the world around me started collapsing, my heart would not get crushed as long as I was looking at you." - Ronnie Cover credit to AndreaDarna :) Go check her out xx *All rights reserved*

A secret war. An empire in crisis. One final hope for victory. Wil Sietinen is driven by duty. Second-in-line to a preeminent family dynasty, the young noble would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies.

But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel.
