Een gedachte is iets mooi maar kan ook moeilijk zijn. Soms kan je er met niemand over praten en is het misschien makkelijker om ze neer te schrijven. Doe dat dan in een brief. In Letters To Nowhere schrijf ik mijn gedachten en meningen op en hoop ik dat ze jullie voorruit helpen en inspireren (Eerlijk eerst wou ik dit niet op Wattpad zetten maar aangespoord door een vriendin heb ik besloten dit toch met jullie te delen.) 1# in filosofie 1# in gedicht 1# in brieven 1# in gedachten

Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

🏆 TOP PICK (DIVERSE LIT) - THE AMBY AWARDS 2023 🏆 It's Rin and Hye-jin against the world. Or so it should have been. Nagara Rin and Joon Hye-jin, college sweethearts and passionate gamers, have lived a fairytale marriage. Not even a decade after did they expect to be signing divorce papers. Now, standing on opposing paths, they only need to get out of each other's lives, move on, and hopefully, be happy. That is until they get trapped inside their favorite video game. Here, they must meet friends and foes alike as they join dangerous quests and battle monsters they only ever see behind a screen. And they must do it alone, apart from each other, as they have always wanted. But when rumors flare up about an ancient evil being resurrected in their new world, Rin and Hye-jin must throw all grievances aside and work together or else risk losing more than the game. Once more, it's Rin and Hye-jin against the world. Maybe. From the author of the award-winning novella, 𝘒𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘦, comes a story of two souls joined and separated by circumstance, discovering that love and life both revolve around the same thing―choices; and that not all of them lead to happily ever after. ˜"°•.˜"°•˜"°•.˜"°•˜"°•.˜"°• © 2023 (First Edition) [180,000 - 190,000 words] [All graphics are made by @sardonictabby] 🏆 2ND PLACE (ASIAN FICTION) - ROMANCE READS 2024
