A stroll through a magical forest isn't really so fun when there are faeries plucking and grabbing clumps of your hair, elves attempting to set your clothes on fire, and trolls poking your vulnerable skin with their needle-like fingers. Unfortunately, Vorare has been like this for as long as anyone could remember - with creatures more of a nuisance than that of a threat. Darkness looms in every corner, and only those cunning and manipulative enough shall make it to the top. Strange tales waft around their world, and Asagai, a young thief of fourteen summers, struggles to save his old hag by venturing into the unknown in order to find some fae and garner their spittle rumoured to heal diseases. But it seems like fate has found a way to give him a detour as he travels with the slightly uncommunicative Emberchase, the weaver of flames. An organization of killers chase after their heels, a prince wants to use him for war, and the thief will soon come to realize that the man whom he pledged loyalty to isn't as what the stories had told him to be. In a place where fire is neither deaf nor mute, foxes and bears are considered magical, and princesses have a knack for hanging people, will Asagai still be able to return home? ---- Ember Chasers ---- The first book of the Vorare Trilogy. #1ST PLACE FANTASY in Moonlight Awards 2019 #2ND PLACE FANTASY in Shadow City Awards #2ND PLACE FANTASY in Love Awards 2019 #2ND PLACE ADVENTURE in Ink Awards 2020 ★Updates every Sundays

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.

What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).
