Koca sema, diz çöktü gözlerine. Ay bembeyaz parlak tenin yanında soluk kaldı, yıldızlar gökyüzü kadar karanlık olan saçlara meydan okudu. Bulutlar ağladı, yağmur selam verdi kanlı ellere. Kalplere sis çöktü, güller boyun büktü üzerinden çıkmayan kan kokusuna. Ve dinledi toprak sözlerini. "Saçların kadar uzun ve güzel olsun ömrün Küçük Yalancı." Dedi adam, ama kesti kadının saçlarını kendi elleriyle, kıydı sevdiğinin ömrüne. "Hiçbir yere gitmeyeceğim sevgilim..." Dedi kadın, ama tutmadı sözünü, kıydı sevdiğinin aşkına. Sevdiği kadınları bir bir kaybeden acımasız katil, Akın Korel. Sevgiden yoksun kurak bir kalp ve o kalpte açan beyaz bir papatya. Kendi döktüğü göz yaşlarıyla büyüdü, getirdi baharı. Kimse fark etmedi onu. Güllere ulaşılmak isteyenlerce ezildi, yine döktü göz yaşlarını. Adam fark etti solan papatyayı, aldı ellerine. Ama öldü beyaz papatya. Muhteşem bir koku sardı etrafı. Ölü bir çiçek hiç böyle güzel kokar mıydı? Yaşadığını sandı, sevindi adam. Ama bilmiyordu papatyaların ölünce koktuğunu. Öğrendiğinde ise artık çok geçti...

Ölüm; ruhun bedeni terk ettiği, o yedi saniyedir. Fakat zamanın bile ötesinde, o yedi saniyenin önemsiz olduğu noktada, sıkışıp kalmak bir ihanetti. Ne yaşama, ne de ölüme ait olmamak...

2019 WATTY AWARD WINNER | TO BE PUBLISHED BY 'W BY WATTPAD' IN FALL 2024 Jessie is a twenty first century kinda gal stuck in the Regency Era. Armed with a new university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, the plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she's not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. Mid-Atlantic, a mysterious accident sends Jessie hurtling to what should be a watery grave. Rescued from the ocean, Jessie is lucky to be alive. Only problem? The crew of the ship she's on is convinced it's a sailing vessel that just narrowly missed out on participating in the Battle of Trafalgar. Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of as a maid and companion in return for what shelter her new employer can provide, and resign herself to a life of quiet servitude and forever hiding her sexuality. What she didn't count on was that her new boss would be Margaret Goodenough - the world famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature, and a clever woman. Clever enough to know her new servant has a secret. Now Jessie is caught. Margaret's own perception of her place in society is transforming, the text of her novel is slowly changing, and Margaret herself is finally unafraid to embrace her own Sapphic desires. Margaret - and her main characters - are turning into irresistibly headstrong and modern women. Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the course of history. Should Jessie suppress the manuscript, or is her duty to the woman she's learning to love? What is a twenty first century gal to do? * Cover Photo: Jenn LeBlanc & Getty Images Original Cover by: @RodneyVSmith

Book III of the Libertas Series. All that has been lost must be made right. Faced with a city ruined by Daegol's attack, and the loss of his own arm and leg, Kit must not only find the strength to rebuild what was lost but also to grow into the war leader everyone expects him to be. But it's not just the war against Daegol that Kit must focus on. The Rebels still need freedom, the Changers are demanding social justice, the trial against Kit's parents and Lord Ifan looms on the horizon and Kit must also deal with the realpolitik of running an alliance that skirts between Dark and Light. And that's without having to subvert the Prophecy that will lead to the death of his brother. Being unbound was only the first step in Kit's journey. Now he has to learn to grow.

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.
