I knew that she was about to burn my secrets away, but somehow I thought I'd be able to hide in the smoke.' Being yourself isn't easy- but Alyssa is about to try. Alyssa had it all: popularity, looks, grades- but then her life changed forever. She meets the new girl- George- a fun loving, reckless teen who shows her a side to herself she never wanted to admit. This is a story about love, lust, self acceptance and all those feelings in between. #lgbt #freethelgbt Cover by the talented @annie-Joyce

The year is 2113, and almost all the world's problems have been single-handedly solved with a shocking breakthrough - of how to store and transfer souls. At a certain price, anybody can buy a prolonged life, or a never-hungering body, or eternal happiness. However, despite the prosperity of the world as a whole, only a few rich enough can afford extra souls for themselves. And Owen Milano, left with nothing but a bare minimum of resources and his young daughter, can only dream of such things. Owen is stricken to discover that his daughter has fallen to a disease that will kill her in a short period of time. Not willing to lose anything more, Owen sees no other choice but to steal a soul to preserve his daughter's life. But it appears that the souls have a much darker truth behind it...

Satchmo Turner is a failed private detective from the rusting heart of the Black Country who is reeling from the loss of his sister and fiancee. He's going nowhere at work, and treading water in life, until he picks up a simple missing person case and stumbles into something much bigger. Satchmo soon finds himself in over his head and embroiled a hunt for ancient treasure, unrequited love, violence and murder in a quiet English village stocked with a cast of characters he could never have imagined. Praise for Quid Pro Quo from Wattpadders: "Damn you for writing such a good book. I'm dead serious when I say you should look to get it published." "Overall, I think it's a great book and something I'd expect to see on a shelf in a bookstore somewhere." "I read another chapter and devoured the whole damn thing over an afternoon." "All-in-all the book was thoroughly enjoyable and very professionally written. Definitely better than almost everything else that I have encountered on Wattpad... it was a compelling read." "Your style of storytelling is lovely to read. I'm trying desperately to convince my husband to sign up to Wattpad so he can read it too."

"I write to facilitate myself with my deepest emotions." How much can a book cover hold or represent? How authentic can the artwork of a book jacket be? What stories do they tell? Do these covers bear the artistic weight of their books? Through deeply personal episodes, the writer talks about the complex ideas of book covers and his complicated relationship with them. -------------------------------------------------------- *Featured Book Of The Month by @nonfiction* 🥇MajesticInc Awards 2019 for Nonfiction 🥈The Talent Awards 2019 for Random 🥉The Literati Awards 2021, Category 1.
