(Book 2) Even the most uneducated can have a mind for adventure - especially when it comes to saving the world. A man with a tie is discovered outside the limits of a dried-up settlement in the middle of nowhere, bearing a plague that was long thought to be contained behind the walls of Ban-Ken. When it is discovered that he intends to spread the disease beyond the great city, it is up to Drew Hughes, a private alcoholic, and a loud-mouthed orphan, Alyn Smythy, to brave the city's walls and put a stop to the man-made plague before its power falls into the wrong hands. Book TWO of two.

I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR: - violence - graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces) - cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy. **** Also going up on Quotev and RoyalRoad 2021 ****

We don't choose to die, we're designed too. It was just never the creator's plan for the dead to rise again. Zombies were the characters in our nightmares, the actors in our films and the taboo we'd all secretly admired. Never did we imagine they'd become our reality. Now every day is a battle for survival, a fight against the dead that seems to be creeping ever closer. We don't choose to die. We're designed too. * This story follows a small group of teens in a race for survival against the infected, with death, disease and the unshakable feeling that they're being stalked- life just got a whole lot harder.

Meet the Selkies: seals by day, humans by night. Or, in the case of Tora Urchadainn: seal by day, thief by night. And Tora is just about to learn that even the best thieves sometimes get caught. Inspired by Scottish mythology about the Selkies, The Sea Thief is a YA Fantasy set in the arctic land of Narenji. As the eldest of three sisters, it is Tora's duty to hunt and kill to feed her family. Except there's one catch: Tora is scared of blood. She can't hunt. Instead, Tora has spent the past few years mastering the art of theft. Pickpocketing, shoplifting, sleight of hand - she's done them all. Every morning, she takes off her seal coat, poses around as a human, and steals her dinner from the human markets. But one day, Tora's seal coat gets stolen. And, without it, she can't turn back into a seal and swim back to her family. When Tora finds the boy who took her seal coat, they strike up a bargain: if Tora helps him steal from the Cobalt Sea Pirates, he will give her back the coat. Before she even knows it, Tora finds herself planning her biggest heist yet. And this time, it's not her dinner that's on the line. It's her life. Gorgeous cover by @awesomeSTG
