When seventeen-year-old violinist, Mallory Trent, gets to be one of the lucky instrumentalists selected to be a Star at the exclusive Starlight Academy, an art school in search of raw and distinctive talents, she never expected what was coming. After weeks of training and preparation, Mallory heads closer to achieving her dream of being a star, but things take an unexpected turn for her when Diana Gilbert, a wickedly passionate rival, plots her elimination from the academy. Mallory is devastated after her elimination, and to add insult to injury, she discovers that her sickly father has been keeping secrets about her dead, biological mother from her for years. By fluke, Mallory gets back into the academy, and all seems well, until she realises that Starlight Academy has been against her all along. It does not aim for her success, but rather, her undoing...

A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards

The point of the book is to challenge myself to entertain others by thinking of stupid, or silly dry humoured scenarios for the next 365 days. It's ultimately an experiment but I hope people find enjoyment from it and maybe the dry comedy might just become wet comedy one day...I'll stop now. Anyways if you need something to brighten your day I hope this book can do it.
