Yendle has narrowly won the wars against Crimnum, but the only thing 13-and-a-half-year-old Sandra Potts cares about is the fact she's the only person in the world who doesn't have a Skill. Mom can burp frogs, Dad can smell things burning, and her little brother Alex can summon bugs out of the ground, but her? Zilch. To add to that frustration, Alex is recruited to the mysterious Center for Special Skills. Sandy avoids going insane with jealousy with the help of her two best friends at Purplum Junior High - confident, sassy Jackie who controls static electricity and the more serious Derek, who can see the inner workings of any mechanical object. Everything seems to be going great until Alex disappears and Sandy meets a man in a dream who reveals a terrifying secret - the Center is part of rebel Crimnum forces looking to take down Yendle from within. And apparently, because she doesn't have a Skill, she's the only one who can help - even though she feels like the most unqualified hero in the universe. The novel is contracted with Curiosity Quills Press and is set to come out summer 2016. The beautiful cover art was done by my little sister Alli (@submerged--).

**This was a Featured Wattpad Story** One, two, three, four; I declare a suit war. In a parallel universe known as Drac, the four kingdoms (called suits) have been at war for centuries. Each suit (Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, and Hearts) is made up of a playing card hierarchy that is ruled by the King, Queen, and Jack, and every subject is born with their suit and number imprinted on the back of their neck. The number (a rounded-up average of their parents' numbers that is between two and ten) is based off their ancestors' loyalty to the Crown. There is, however, one randomly selected person in each suit that is born with an A (the symbol of the Ace) on their neck, making them the societal outcast. It is forbidden for the four aces of Drac to ever come together, because there is a myth that if all four of them join hands, they can set off an explosion that will kill all living beings except for themselves. Regardless, the Ace of Hearts, thirteen-year-old Celia Rumer, decides to try her luck in rallying the aces together after the King of Hearts suddenly commits suicide. She hopes that the threat of the four aces banding together will bring an end to the suit war, but will she be able to find the other aces without facing dire consequences of breaking the law? © Copyright - 2016 - All rights reserved.

HIATUS "It's amazing, you know. Seeing how fast one who once had power can crumble in a matter of time." The demigods of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter thought they might actually get a break. Unfortunately, that's not how things work in the supernatural and mythological world. It all started when the monsters disappeared, replaced with a group of rogue demigods with a vengeful motive, and when a sudden curse breaks out. || Cover made by @AsiaMoonfield || ⚠WARNING⚠ DARK THEMES, VIOLENCE, CHARACTER DEATHS, ETC 13+ recommended.

Misunderstood and overmedicated, twelve-year-old Lilith Bloom finds the prospect of a grand family reunion decidedly dull... That is, until she discovers that the rose garden surrounding her grandfather's Berlin mansion is, well, completely and utterly carnivorous. Armed with Panther, her talking pet whippet, and the help of the mute boy next door, Lilith must unravel the secrets behind the mysterious estate, all while her family remains gloriously unaware that they are about to be devoured.

The Shadowbearer is made to be a stand alone of sorts and a prelude to Etchings of Power. Etchings and the other books that follow are told from different POVs than the Shadowbearer. They are all part of the interconnected worlds of the Cyclic Omniverse that currently spans 8 books. You can start with any series in the Omniverse. Now, to the blurb: In a world where magic corrupts and kingdoms constantly war, the power that drives the world stirs. It whispers promises of greatness in the heads of the men and women that wield it. Now, it has spoken to the mind of a king. Knight Commander Stefan Dorn, leader of the Unvanquished, has known only war, death and, victory. All in the name of his loyalty to King Nerian the Lightbearer, a man he idolized. Until now. Everything he thought he knew about the King, his people, and his world is coming to an end. At a time when there should be peace, he's once again called to war. Torn between shocking changes at home, his family, loyalty to his men and his King, Stefan wishes only to enjoy life away from the battlefield. But with the new campaign comes a rabid, unforgiving enemy and a potential cataclysm. Follow him as he fights to save his family, his people, his honor, and his birthright from the grips of the shade. Can he save them all? If not, which will he choose, which will he lose? The Shadowbearer is a rousing and engaging prequel to Etchings of Power and a worthy addition to the Aegis of the Gods series. Also free on Amazon, Itunes, and Kobo.

Let's face it. There are way more cliché books on this website than there are unique ones. Even the ones people say are unique tend to have some kind of cliché undertone. And then the ones that really are unique almost never ever get discovered. And it sucks. But for those of you who don't know your book is cliché, this book is for you. Because it seems to me like that is the case for some people. Not all books are going to be entirely unique, but sometimes there needs to be a balance between both sides. And I'm here to help you find it. If there are 500 words in a chapter, can you spot the clichés?
