* 4 Sample Chapters * Song and dance man, Bob Dinsdale, is feeling like he is not long for his profession when he nabs a gig as a singing elf for a fundraising Christmas Train ride. Event organizer, Natasha Loy, knows underneath all his irreverent charm and talent lies the type of ham for attention she could never stand, making him perfect for another role which needs casting - that of the world's most annoying fiancé. And she's bringing him home for Christmas! Natasha plans to convince her parents to finally approve of the man of her dreams by having Bob pose as the potential son-in-law of their nightmares. Unfortunately, her protective big sister, DeeDee, refuses to dislike him no matter how hard he tries. Bob's growing attraction to DeeDee soon starts to trip up his act, but with Natasha's promise of introducing him to Broadway royalty for a job well done, mustn't the show go on? How can Bob get the girl he wants while giving his 'worst boyfriend' routine all he's got? With a little divine encouragement from a pair of Vaudevillian spirit guides assigned to help him, that's how. If you're in the mood for a Christmastime romantic-comedy-fantasy with more costume changes, exploding ants, dinner party stick-ups, dramatic plagerism, and high notes sung by an opera diva trying to save the world than you can shake a candy-cane at, then you're in for a treat. This isn't your typical fake-fiancé-meets-the-family story. This is High C! *Being reposted. Will be complete again by Christmas ;) *No part of this work may be reproduced or used in any many without express written permission of the author.

When Aria's father sells her to a stranger from the north, she never expects to be cherished like a daughter. To live in a castle, showered with every luxury. Her sumptuous new life is every young girl's dream. But as Aria grows older she can no longer deny the mystery and strangeness of her beloved foster family. Especially the Greyback men. Nor can she ignore the dark menace of the woods beyond the castle. Aria is determined to unravel their secrets. Above all, those of Lucian Greyback, the enigmatic and unsettling man to whom she is betrothed. When her curiosity gets the better of her, Aria is compelled to venture into the forest and discover the truth. But beneath flesh and blood lies a beastly legacy. And a birthright she could never imagine. If you enjoyed the gothic, captivating world of mystery in Jane Eyre (but need a little more bite), you will love the suspenseful and alluring secrets of Aria's journey in this book.

In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge. Please let me know what you think (don't be afraid to be mean).
