|THE MINISTRY OF TIME x KATE & LEOPOLD | In the year 2210, Magna is sick of being unappreciated by her father. Back in 1840, Lord Edmund Worthington is less than enthused by an idea of an arranged marriage. *** Magna Reign fears her father will order her to take a sabbatical after a full-blown love scandal turns into a media circus. To prove to him she is quite capable of being a successor to Reign Industries, Magna decides to test a prototype of her time travelling device by setting it to a Shakespearean timeline. Only, the machine malfunctions, landing her in 1840s Britain instead, straight into the household of uptight Lord Edmund Worthington on the very morning of his arranged wedding. Resourceful Magna attempts to rectify her mistake but makes matters worse. Together, she and Edmund land in 2025. As they try to find a way out of that strange period of time, their stubborn personalities clash and sparks fly. They knew it was neither his time nor hers. They didn't know it was theirs. © 2025 EvelynHail Exclusively on Wattpad

A collection of paranormal, horror and fantasy short stories woven around old legends, odd characters, the occasional werewolf and the darkness within, some of which have been published or picked up the odd award. There are things you cannot see unless they want to be seen, and some legends linger on despite the modern world. A Gift in the Dark is a compilation of short works, many based around old myths and legends, and starts with a tale of a miner's descent into madness, history and legend, drifts through darkness, past a retelling of Red Riding Hood, up a crane, and along to the end of the world.

In January 2020, I lost my father in a traumatic way as he passed while I was performing CPR. As a way to cope, I started to journal. My journal entries quickly turned to poetry, a form of writing that I had no experience in. Over time, my poems have evolved to be about more than my father. I'll start to share them in this book. I believe the works in here are a collaboration between my father and I. Rest in peace SBR. I love you and hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoy the comfort I get from writing these poems

She and her father made a profitable living raiding shipments between worlds, especially from the Hahn family, the most ruthless of warlords that rose after the Sol Commonwealth abandoned the Orion Outlands and consolidated within the inner worlds. Nova had a high price on her head. And as if that wasn't enough, the Commonwealth were coming back to reclaim the Outlands, and they had little regard for piracy. Elite Ranger Jake Barton led the way, with orders to eliminate Nova Jones. But as he tracked Nova, doubts grew in his mind. Who was the true villain?

Three months ago, Megan found a genie. Two weeks ago, he was stolen away from her. Now, her best friend Jen is in charge of that bottle - and of Jake. Megan's a little nervous about that. After all, Jen doesn't exactly like him; she barely even tolerated him a few weeks ago. But the longer Jen's in charge, the closer the two seem to become. They seem like they're even becoming friends. Megan's not jealous, but Greg might be. He's starting to realize that something's not right in his world. And since no one can give him an explanation, his suspicions are only growing. To make matters worse, Megan's found another genie who seems to loathe her. She hates to say it, but he seems just a little bit evil. No matter what she tries, all her efforts to get him to warm up to her seem to backfire. So when Jake manages to go missing again, Megan has to wonder if she'll be able to use this new genie to get Jake back. Will he actually help her, or will he do everything in his power to make it all even worse? 🔸Note: This is the third book in the Nobody Likes Megan McGowen series.

Salt destroyed the world. Now, he must sacrifice everything to save it. -- A fatal drought ravishes the land after Salt insults the water god. Jaded, reluctant, and driven more by obligation than hope, he travels the brittle, dying land in search of the solution: a favor from a god, which he can gain by resurrecting one. Unfortunately for him, gods need bodies. Even more unfortunately, his wife makes the perfect cadaver. With the help of Calista---a witty delegate to the death god---they set out to track down the fallen goddess of peace, love, and war. But when a mysterious force rises, bent on wiping the gods from the playfield forever, Salt realizes that to restore water to the world, he'll have to confront more than just a rebellion. He'll have to confront the past. A fantasy humor novella about grief, gods, and doing the right thing too late. ONC Prompt (2025): When you challenge a magical being, the rules are simple: you must finish what you've started, no matter the cost. ONC Awards (2025): ♫ Round 1 Winner ♫ Ambassador's Pick ♫ Long List ♫ Short List ♫ Second Place Finalist! :D

[ Dark Romantasy / Mature ] The Vampyres of Gale are amid a flesh-eating pandemic, and Faerie tears are the only known cure. Livinia, a Faerie healer, joined the Human side of a Vampyre war in southern Nival to avoid scandal and the captivity of an arranged marriage. Upon "Liv's" return to her icy homeland, she gets put into real chains. She may have leverage, but it's not something that will set her free, at least not quickly. The Nightcaster Court is treacherous. They are rich, haughty, and powerful, but they haven't been hostile toward Faerie-kind since the "Vale of Tears" earned its name. It was before Liv's time, but it isn't any wonder why her people fled Crystal Hollows, a neighboring land that is theirs by right, at the first sign of crisis. Liv can try bargaining for the freedom she never had, but, as a rule, the Nightcasters are fickle, cruel, and can't be trusted. To complicate things further, there's Corbin, the ailing heir - gifted, powerful, grateful for a second chance. He's everything his family is not, but a Vampyre is still a Vampyre, and love isn't love if there are chains attached to it. | ONC2025 Shortlist |
