Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

[FEATURED WATTPAD PICK] Eighteen-year-old Shannon Anderson should be studying when she discovers a stash of books that physically open doors to the worlds within their pages. Final exams are all that stand between her and her dream of ditching rural Iowa for freshman year as a theater production student at New York University. But it's really damn hard for Shannon to focus on irregular German verbs and the US Constitution when she could be having Breakfast in Oz, taking tea on Baker Street, or running off to late-night campfires on the shores of New Switzerland. It's in New Switzerland that Shannon meets Fritz, the eldest son of the Swiss Family Robinson. As a self-proclaimed fat theater geek, Shannon isn't used to flustering boys the way she seems to fluster Fritz. Despite her looming exams, Shannon spends night after night exploring the island's jungles and beaches with Fritz as her dashing field guide. Shannon is presented with the unparalleled opportunity to live inside a story, but a life of adventure with Fritz means abandoning her scenic design dreams - and worse, her family. Shannon has to choose between New York and New Switzerland before both doors slam shut for good. THE DANGEROUS DOORS OF SHANNON ANDERSON is a completed YA magical realism novella.

Ischel wakes up with a hole in her heart every morning, knowing she can't leave the house. Most days she wouldn't risk it, and on that summer trip she wished she hadn't. Ischel loses her mother during the trip, and all she spared was a waterproof notebook which is the only thing that connects her to her family, and a half complete word. Overcome with grief, Ischel was sure that someone had staged a well planned kidnap of her mother, and embarked on a journey of finding her. When a hiding stranger completes the word, Ischel is compelled to listen to him and under his guidance sets out to find her real home, Inframagus, hidden under the seas of the real world, her mother's past, and uncover the truth about herself. But when Ischel returns she isn't the only one who's back home. Will the people of her land accept her? Or would she have to prove to them that she belongs, by claiming the chaos into her own hands.
