Worried she'll fail psychology and ruin her GPA, a young college girl named Julia agrees to be the guinea pig for a secret experiment - and accidentally winds up in 1977 with none other than her obsession, Freddie Mercury. (Shocker, right?) Her only wish is to get back home, but in the meantime she uses this impossible chance to really discover the man beneath the mask. And gets much more than she bargained for. This is her story. "On a morning from a Bogart movie, In a country where they turn back time, You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre, Contemplating a crime. She comes out of the sun In a silk dress running Like a watercolor in the rain. Don't bother asking for explanation; she'll just tell you that she came In the Year of the Cat."

SEQUEL TO "IN THE YEAR OF THE CAT" - FOR BEST RESULTS, START THERE. Or don't. Your choice. ;) Now, the synopsis: It's been ten years since the T-Rod incident, and life is looking up for Julia and her young Prince-obsessed son, Daniel. But the past has a way of coming back to haunt those it cuts the deepest, as the events of one December evening snowball into an awkward reunion between Julia and Freddie Mercury himself, damaging the new machine in the process. All they have to do is live peacefully together while repairs take place. However, where lingering emotions are renewed, old wounds are reopened, and game-changing secrets are kept, it's never, ever that easy. "Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past. The years run too short, and the days too fast. The things you lean on are things that don't last. Well, it's just, now and then, my line gets cast Into these Time Passages. There's something back there that you left behind. Oh, Time Passages- Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight."

This is where I will be putting all my loose, single-part stories from here on out. The ones I have previously published before this will stay as they are- but I've been mulling this idea for a little while. I've seen numerous one-shot compilation books around Wattpad, so I thought I would give it a whirl as a sort of writing practice. Requests are welcome- and they do not have to necessarily be about Queen, or even classic rock. Whatever you have in mind, toss it my way, I'll see what I can do. ;)

BOOK THREE OF THE "IN THE YEAR OF THE CAT" SERIES. Seven days is all it took for the world to go to hell. With Christmas just around the corner, the rest of Queen marching ever closer to the most unlikely of reunions, and the lab rats out in full force to capture Freddie and send him away for good, it's all Julia can do to keep up. Luckily, John, Danny, and other old friends are there to help weather the storm. But even when you have the tools to jump backward and forward in time, there's still no stopping it. The clock is ticking, Freddie's departure is looming, and their ultimate separation is inevitable. Or is it? "What if you reached the age of reason, Only to find there was no reprieve? Would you still be a man for all seasons? Or would you just have to leave? We measure our days out in steps of uncertainty, Not turning to see how we've come, And peer down the highway from here to eternity And reach out for love on the run, While the man for all seasons Is lost behind the sun."

Female singer Mia Elliot is sick and tired of her life, and her music is starting to go down hill. That's when her manager, Sully, tells her that Queen is willing to go on tour with her. Will she make her big breakthrough with them?

It's the beginning of the summer of 1977. Final exams are over and 18 year old Monica Brannigan and her best friend Paula leave their troubled home city of Belfast to embark on a fun-filled three day trip to London for Paula's 18th birthday, and to look at the universities that they applied for. But for Monica, three days becomes an eternity when she falls head over heels for Freddie Mercury, one of the hottest and most elusive rockstars on the planet. She stays behind with him and goes on to have a wonderful and romantic relationship, and two beautiful and mischievous children. But after a few years together, Freddie's fame and flaws, as well as Monica's senseless and impulsive decision at such a young age, soon have painful consequences on the happy life that they have built together...
