*Watty's Shorts Winner, 2020* While cleaning out empty lockers during detention, North Kingsley comes across a battered textbook filled with off-beat and personal messages written in awful handwriting. On a whim he writes them a message back. Days later, he returns to the locker to find a post-it note response waiting for him. From there a timid friendship between seeming strangers strikes up and North finds himself becoming increasingly curious about the person on the other end of his messages, to the point where he stops fighting the feeling that maybe there's something more beginning to grow between them. *PART OF THE "STORY IN A NIGHT" COLLECTION* Started: March 20th 2020 (Chapters 1-20) March 24th 2020 (Chapters 21-22) Completed: April 12th 2020 (Chapters 23-27) * FIRST PLACE 'AUTHORS BOOKS AWARDS' SHORT STORY CATEGORY: 14-08-2020 *Watty's Shorts Finalist: 12-11-2020 *Watty's Shorts Winner: 05-12-2020

A secret war. An empire in crisis. One final hope for victory. Wil Sietinen is driven by duty. Second-in-line to a preeminent family dynasty, the young noble would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies. But when Wil is kidnapped by a mysterious alien enemy, he discovers that a brutal interstellar war has been covertly waging for centuries-and only his unique telekinetic powers can end the conflict. Learning that he's the genetic endgame of a generations-long plan to win the war, Wil grapples with his daunting responsibility to become a leader with the skills needed for a decisive military victory. But when he realizes that the enemy isn't who he's been led to believe, Wil faces an impossible moral dilemma as the fate of two civilizations hangs in the balance. Caught between ruthless adversaries and unsure who to trust, can Wil build the right alliances to secure his galactic empire's future? This timeless space opera epic with adventure, telekinetic abilities, coming-of-age, romance, and intrigue will appeal to fans of Star Wars, Anne McCaffrey, Frank Herbert's Dune, and the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith. Join three generations of the Sietinen family as they challenge destiny to win a war and lead a revolution that will change the course of an empire.

"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

Mia Collins just wanted to get through her senior year of high school with as minimal awkward situations as possible. However, that's kind of hard to do when you have a narcissistic arch-nemesis who's hell-bent on ruining your life. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he seemed to take an immediate dislike. After all, it only took a measly few hours of knowing her for him to kick a soccer ball right at her unsuspecting 11-year-old face.
