Rowan was just here to be a ghostwriter. Investigating a small town's folklore and its connection to a real life murder wasn't part of his contract. ***** Rowan Underwood promised himself he'd do one last gig as a ghostwriter, tired of hearing everyone say how good of an opportunity it is. Bags packed, he moves to a small town in Nova Scotia, hands full of mythology and folklore books to write the work of a lifetime, and even has the help of Isla Guerreiro, small and fierce. When the myths become reality, when he's not entirely sure reality is what it appears to be, Rowan must do everything in his power to find out the truth about a murder before his name cannot be cleared any longer.

When they start fake dating, their worlds turn upside down... ***** When Nathan Lowe and Elijah Scott agree to stage a relationship for publicity reasons, both of them are striving for their own goals.

On Me: Hi! I actually don't even know what I'm doing right now. I know I want to start a blog, but I don't know what to do next. Do I, like, write about a social issue? My life? My social life? My life issues? I guess I should write about me. 1. My name is Dee. It's not, but my real name is super dumb. 2. I'm, like, five one or something? 3. I live in Britain. We don't use feet as a measure. 4. I hate writing lists so much, but I've started this one already. My backspace key is a bit broken. 5. I'm bi. That's bi-sexual for anyone who doesn't know. Attracted to more than one gender. Whoop whoop. 6. I've been told I look a bit like Brittany from Glee, but fat. Okay, the word used was 'bigger', but I can read subtext. Especially gay subtext (not that my size compared to Brittany S. Pierce was gay, but it was still slightly relevant). Also my hair is curly. 7. I have a lot of friends. That sounds like I'm showing off, and I kind of am. I have a tendency to show off. 8. I can't really think about anything else. Oh. Uh. Nine is my lucky number, so I need this list to be nine things long. 9. I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine. You can expect spoilers, memes and just in general constant references. If you want to talk to me, do it via b99 gifs. Goodbi! Dee xxx

A 'Pride and Prejudice' Remix. Beth Bennett, a poor girl in a fancy boarding school, faces class prejudice and romance when the school goes co-ed and she meets arrogant Will Darcy. [THIS STORY IS COMPLETE] ********** Elisabeth 'Beth' Bennett wasn't born in the same circle as the other girls at Netherfield Academy, but her mother's advantageous third marriage has allowed her to enjoy their world. Now she's at the end of her education and is looking forward to what lies beyond. That is, if she can make it to the end of the term in one piece. In a bid to bring in more students, the academy is going co-ed, and has brought in the boys early to test the waters. Among them are Charlie Bingley, a cheerful boy with a soft spot for Beth's best friend, Jenny. His companion William Darcy isn't at all pleased with the situation, or with Beth for that matter. While Beth tries to avoid interacting with the boys wherever possible, it seems fate is determined to throw them together. An adaptation of Jane Austen's classic, 'Pride and Prejudice'.

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do. A princess and her personal guards fighting to stop a war, arrested for trespassing; an expert assassin stalking a merciless wizard, arrested for poaching; and a confused boy, utterly lost and severely concussed, arrested for failing to adequately explain who he was or how he came to be lying in a sizable crater. Together this unlikely, and somewhat unwilling, band of allies will perform daring escapes and battle an onslaught of mages, monsters, and malodorous thieves as they race across a continent to save two nations from mutual annihilation.
