Now available in paperback! "I LOVE IT!" - CarniaHolmes "I'm going to break your nose, because I don't like your face," Carter said. She pointed to Zac. "I'm going to dislocate your other shoulder, just to make them even." She cocked her head and gave the main guy a sickly sweet smile. "I'm going to break your wrist, taking away your baseball career. And finally you, Finch," she said, looking to the last guy. "I'm going to bust your ankle because I don't like the way you walk." She slid her hands into her pockets. "Now, how does that sound to all of you? And please feel free to look amused, skeptical or patronizing at this point. I'll have all the more fun wiping the expressions off your faces." Carter Owens, daughter of a Secret Service agent, is trained to disassemble any weapon, any situation, and anyone. Her biting sarcasm and razor-sharp mind make her impossible to beat in a word fight and when talking doesn't work, she uses her fists. She attends Hamilton Prep, Washington D.C.'s most prestigious high school, where everyone is related to someone in power, except her. When Hamilton Prep receives a flood of new students, Carter's role as social outcast changes when she makes two unexpected friends. Friends who are hiding a secret. As Carter uncovers the truth, she confronts challenges she is unequipped to handle and finds herself in a dangerous situation. For a girl trained to see everything, Carter never saw this coming.

Cassie's life had never been simple. Born in Norwich in the UK, she'd lost her mother when she was nine and had been raised by her Grandad ever since. Even before then, sensations of events from the past had impinged on her life so much that they'd almost become normal. The ghosts, especially the persistent one on the buses, and disembodied voices were bad enough but then, one day, while visiting a local shopping centre, the past literally crashed in on her, leading to the start of a rather strange adventure. PLEASE NOTE: This novel is now available as both a paperback and an eBook. For that reason I have had to remove it from Wattpad (apart from the first few teaser chapters). If you were in the process of reading it then please either go to https://www.vivadjinn.com or https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1913873021 to obtain a copy of the final version in paperback or, for a Kindle ebook version, go to https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JS9DWPX instead. Thanks to all those who read, voted and commented on it here on Wattpad. The printed/ebook version incorporates a number of improvements.

A possible future in less than 500 words, if plastic wins. This was my entry for the WattPad/National Geographic #PlanetOrPlastic competition back in late 2018. It reached their Top 10 Submissions which, given that there appeared to be well over 5000 entries, was a very pleasant surprise! The competition itself had a limit of 500 words so, for those who keep asking if I intend continuing the story, the answer (for now!) is no - unless I can find a very good reason for adding any more. Many thanks to everyone reading and voting on this story and getting it to number 1 in the #sciencefiction category in May/June 2020! I did try to thank the voters individually on their pages but Wattpad have a daily limit on the number of times I'm allowed to do that and there are now too many of you (not that I'm complaining)!
