It's a scary thing to do -- trusting someone with the most special thing about you; the thing that defines you as a person: your name. There's no telling what comes after it when someone speaks. It could be positive, and it could also be negative. But sometimes you just have to take a chance and open yourself to every possibility. Whether that be telling someone your name, going on your first date, or even falling in love. [top 10 finalist for the best of me movie contest] [1499/1500 words] [short story #30, 10/03/14]

Elle Grayson's guilty pleasure is reading cheesy romance novels. Always has been, always will be. Maybe that's why she's never had a boyfriend - no guy can live up to her expectations of the guys in romance novels. She doesn't think there is one guy that can prove to be even half as decent as guys in books. But when there's somebody set on doing exactly that, things just might start to change.

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

The seven deadly sins with a shambling twist. It has been one hundred days since the zombies claimed the world. Cash, along with forty-two survivors, have found safety in the secluded and well-guarded Fox National Park. The leaves are changing colors, a beautiful, brutal reminder that winter is coming. As the survivors prepare for freezing months without electricity and not enough food, they learn of massive zombie herds several hundred miles north...and headed their way. To save the park, Cash must find a place for the survivors to hide from the migrating herds. If Cash and her small band of volunteers don't succeed by winter, the Fox survivors just may become Deadland's Harvest. (Deadland's Harvest is a journey through Dante Alighieri's classic tale on the seven deadly sins... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).

•infatuation[ in-fach-oo-ey-shuhn ] noun foolish or all-absorbing passion• ..................................................................................................................... Skyler and Chase are polar opposites. It's the cliché case of the bad boy and the good girl. Chase Cole had no clue that Skyler Brandon even existed. Living in his perfect bubble, he's got the popularity, he's got the money and he's most certainly got the looks. Sky would have happily stayed under the radar the whole of her high school life. She's worked long and hard to keep her distance from the Populars and most certainly away from Chase Cole. After all, he means nothing but trouble. When fate decided to be a sadist and cause their lives to collide in more ways than one, sparks will fly. And not always the good kind.

High School is a popularity contest, every teenager knows that. There's the cheerleaders and jocks, the preps, the nerds, the band geeks, the skater punks, the emos and goths and of course everyone in between. As a result of this so called "food chain" is the constant bullying and the pressure to fit in. But one school is taking a stand against this in a very peculiar manner. Each year, twelve students from the different social groups are selected to partake in Project 61 Days for the two months, the whole of their summer vacation. This year, things are a little different, including a surprisingly pretty nerd, an egotistical music geek, a theatre-loving skater girl and the sweet-centred jock. Personalities are sure to clash in this social experiment like no other. © 2013-2016 summerdaze13 [lovely cover by @Illusionniste]

When it comes to seventeen-year-olds Aurora “Rory” West and Kale Mathews, there is no such thing as the concept of ‘common ground.’ Their interactions (the few that they have) are always filled with overly-sarcastic remarks and countless number of trips to the principal’s office. One day, when a particular interaction goes a bit too far, their principal decides to punish them with The Baby Project- a month long project, worth more than half their grade, that requires them to parent a fake baby. In the beginning, the partnership is discarded as a joke by both students. However, when threatened with the possibility of expulsion, Rory and Kale reluctantly agree to make peace for the sake of their education. Over time, something changes, making them question their thoughts and feelings. They say there's a thin line between love and hate, but will a baby be the last push? (Editing but still updating)
