Kidnapped by a sentient forest, stubborn and mildly lovelorn (but she didn't tell you that) Eliza Feldman works to combine her talents of seduction with her need to meddle in absolutely everything to enjoy herself as best she can in the land of slackers and attractive men... temporarily. Only temporarily. There's an evil queen in there, after all. [genre: new adult / fantasy / romance] [mature rating is on for subject matter and excessive swearing; nothing explicit. pg-13.] [the full work is as yet unedited. this posting includes two sample chapters as the author polishes the work offline.]

The Kingdom of Joseon is at war, and they're losing. Terribly. The invading Japanese are equipped with advanced weapons that the Koreans' own bows and arrows are no match against. And now, with the best Joseon Navy admiral in prison for treason, the country's chances of winning the war are slim to none. Since the humans are making a mess of things, the temperamental and liver-hungry gumiho Moon Sun takes it upon herself to intervene. To succeed, she'll need to summon a sea dragon currently residing off the coast of a southern island. Unfortunately, the only people around to help in her quest are an exiled criminal and a few clueless divers, and their incompetence is truly testing her patience. They might have a chance of winning, if she doesn't kill everyone first.

*Wattys Shortlisted!* A witch. A hunter. And a curse. ~*~ Theiden Guster hadn't intended to abandon his family. But after trying to kill the witch named Lenesa Evergreen, he ends up miles from home as her captive instead. High up in the mountains, the rules of the city no longer apply, and he is forced to face off against the wild and the weird, all the while looking for a chance to strike the witch down in a moment of weakness and make his escape. But the witch needs his help. A dark and vengeful presence is growing in the forest, thirsting for the blood of those in the city, and the witch hunters are preparing to cleanse the mountains in a brutal final attack. Lenesa knows there's not much hope for her ever-worsening condition, but is willing to do whatever it takes to bring peace back to the land and stop the bloodshed. If she's lucky, she'll be able to see the dawn of a new era before succumbing to her affliction. Yet with hardly a plan and very little time, the odds do not appear in her favor, and it seems each step she takes brings about more harm than good. ~*~Cover by TheHeraEra, who has a cover/icon/banner design book/shop if you'd like to inquire for one of your own stories.

Acting normal is not the same as being normal. No one knows that truth better than Suthe Montikwe. Born with the unlucky genes of a distant druith ancestor, she's had to hide her talents in order not to be outcast by society. Her strategy is to smile, keep quiet, and work hard. While that method may keep her safe, it's also alienated her from her neighbors and friends, and the worry that she may be discovered is never far from her thoughts. When her country sends out a warrant to capture anyone who practices magic, Suthe is forced to seek refuge elsewhere, all the while wondering at the sudden proclamation. Why has the government taken an interest in her, and when will she be able to return home? Unsatisfied with her lack of answers, Suthe decides to investigate. But the more she looks, the deeper she gets herself into trouble, and she comes to realize that this mystery does not involve her country alone. The threat of war looms on the horizon, and Suthe will need to put her trust in the strangers she meets, including a dangerous spy wanted for the betrayal of his own country. But most importantly, Suthe will need to trust herself, and her abilities, if she ever wants to see home again. ~*~Current cover by Amanda-Mae ~*~ ~*~Previous cover by italychick~*~
