In which the popular boy attempts to use an exchange student to make his ex girlfriend jealous, but his ex ends up (fake) dating the exchange student instead. - After nearly three years of breaking and making up with her ex-boyfriend, all that Silena Valentine wants is some peace and quiet. Instead, she gets Mena Skelin- a handful of a temporary roommate, whose otherwise extensive vocabulary doesn't seem to include either of those words. Soon enough, Silena finds herself volunteering to do things she never would have even imagined: like kissing someone in front of the entire school, and catching very real feelings for her very fake girlfriend. And the latter kind of sucks, since she's pretty certain that Mena is only doing this in order to get revenge at the boy she actually likes. But then again, everything isn't always what it looks like.

As she approaches forty, Liz Bradford, BBC Radio journalist crosses paths with Ramona Kato, a twenty-something mechanic. As their friendship leads Liz to discovery and Ramona to recovery, radio may be the medium that leads them both to something more. Praise for "Forty" (from another site): "Absolutely wonderful. Your stories always are wonderful but this, spectacularly so. Thank you x" JacquiUK41 "So well written and moving. The quality reminded me of Anne Enright and Sally Rooney. The location made me nostalgic, it's a long time since I was in Goldney Hall. The intersection with Twenty was skillful." BristolGrad "Above all the wonderful tales you have told, I believe this is your masterwork. A triumph, a tour de force, your magnum opus. A chef-d'oeuvre, a jewel and an absolute treasure. One of may favourite stories on this site, thank you for the gift of your storytelling. Please forgive the gushing, but as you may be able to tell, I really rather liked it." JusteenK "So I saw this was [80,000 words], and thought, well, I love some THB, so I'll give it a go, probably too long for sure, but what the heck. My Lord....you so amaze me. This was not a word too long, and could have been longer and still be fine. So beautifully crafted, so sensitive, brilliantly paced...I loved every bit. Loved Liz, Mikayla, And Ramona....Thank you for this. Leaky eyes but grateful eyes too." Marbury1803 This is the concluding part of the Ramona story cycle, which began with "I have seen love", "I have touched love" and "I have made love". It's not necessary to have read those at all... because if you haven't you'll be squarely in Liz's shoes. This is also a love story for the Bristol music scene of circa 2003-2008 and local radio.

In 1992, Jane lost her best friend in the whole world: her stepsister, María. With her went her emotional centre, her sense of self-worth. But now, maybe, she thinks she may have found her again. But will the reunion be everything she wanted? How will the years apart have changed them? Explicit, with references to self-harm and eating disorders, this is a passionate and emotional read. Praise for Thirty: "Beautiful story. The quick moving plot was still full of detail, heartache, and character development. Thanks for sharing!" author CreatingKate "There's a manic energy to the opening page and I picture Jane rocking, clenching in anguish at losing Maria. That mania that hollowed her out, that fed self-harm, that threaten to snuff her out.. She was lucky to survive and surely it was Maria that kept her going and fuelled the obsessive search? Then what do you do when you meet your salvation? How do you deal with that? Now we know, or at least we know how you lived it. This was so real, it didn't read like fiction. Raw and beautiful. Thank you." author stickygirl

This is a mature, standalone girlxgirl story. Caitlyn never expected her best friend's little sister to kiss her on New Year's Eve four years ago. To her, Hazel was always Jace's awkward little sister nicknamed, "sprout," that tagged along in car rides, wore baggy clothing, and would be afraid of being the slightest bit tardy to class. So, of course, Caitlyn had to let her down gently before Hazel returned to her first year of college. Four years later, her best friend presents her with the idea of moving in with Hazel, who freshly graduated college. Obviously, she agrees, because what harm can little ole' sprout do? A lot. Because, Hazel is a lot different than what Caitlyn remembers. Bratty, tight clothing, and overall body of a goddess, all paired with the Hazel she knew and loved. But, under this new exterior, Caitlyn can't help but think differently of the woman that kissed her four years ago. - Hazel was always in love with her brother's best friend, Caitlyn. Ever since they were kids, she admired her from afar and tried to get as close as possible. So, misinterpreting the signs, during winter break of her freshman year of college, she decides to kiss her. Oh, she was sorely mistaken. Crushed. Heartbroken. Humiliated. Hazel goes back to college with the intention to forget about Caitlyn and reinvent herself. Yet, when she's found herself in shitty situation where her apartment isn't available for the next year, her brother convinces her to move in with Caitlyn. What could go wrong?

[Formerly known as 'Trinkets'] Mahika and Amoli can't stand each other, but that's not the only thing they have in common. Mahika treats Amoli like she's childish. Amoli thinks Mahika is a stuck-up prude. But Mahika's best friend and Amoli's brother are getting married, so they can't ignore each other forever. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't even acknowledge each other's existence. Right? Wrong. What meets the eye isn't all there is, is it? Throw a big fat Indian wedding, some alcohol, and a dimly lit hotel room together, and you'll find out, too. Because Mahika and Amoli certainly do.
