[Book 1 and 2 COMPLETE] Straight-A student Jane Huang cares only about acing her classes and graduating college... until a terrifying encounter with an otherworldly monster plunges her into the mysterious world of Mir. To return to the home she loves, Jane must become an 'avtorka' -- one with the gods-given power to write in Mir's Book of Truths and change reality. A brutal series of tests awaits her, each designed by the gods to target her weaknesses and shatter her resolve. Helping her train for her godstests is Nikolay, a ruthless battlemage whose Oath to protect his dying ruler is slowly killing him. Nikolay needs Jane to break his Oath -- or so Jane thinks -- and despite their mutual enmity, she agrees to help him. But as Jane endures her godstests, she is drawn into a web of magic, mystery, and deceit that forces her to question Nikolay's motives, the godstests, and the very nature of reality itself. ***Earnesty Writing Award Fantasy Winner!*** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdMY61yxdPg **First Place in the Punk Rock Awards, 2022, Action/Adventure** **First Place in the Dream Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Golden Awards, Adventure** **First Place in the Mono Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Shimmer Awards 2020, Adventure** **First Place in the Sunshine Awards 2020, Adventure** **Second Place in the Paper Awards 2020, Adventure** **Second Place in the First Impressions Award (SUAW) 2020** **Third Place in the Golden Awards 2020, Fantasy** **Third Place in the Noble Awards 2020, Action/Adventure** **Third Place in the Imperial Awards 2020, Adventure**

Frustratingly good. ~91K words ~~~ Warnings: - Language. F-word, mostly. - Chapter 52 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's sweet, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP ContemporaryLit's Contemporary Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction profile - WP Action profile's Romance in Action reading list ~~~ Reviews: "The plot is completely original and this is honestly the best and boldest love-triangle I have ever seen. Not to mention the characters. It's hard to not enjoy a book with such good vocabulary and descriptions, especially with the humor that emerges every now and then in the book." The Authors Books Awards "I don't know how you came up with the ideas, but it was amazing! Wonderful book." The Rétrograde Awards "The writing flow is perfect and every character are sophisticated and somehow cunning in the beginning, which is a great way to make your characters more interesting in the further chapters. I really enjoyed your story." The Evergreen Awards "I like the cynical, humorous style can 100% relate!" The Sterling Awards "The chapters were crisp and humorous. Action and humour don't actually come together many times, but this story has won in that genre."

Featured in Wattpad HighFantasy & Magic II 19-year-old Aria is ready to accept her doomed fate of marrying the cruel Lord Lathik. An alliance that will secure a large army for her hateful brother's war against the fae. When destiny intervenes and her carriage gets attacked by bandits, she falls into fae territory. Pulled from the grasp of death and captured by the handsome crown prince, she can only pray he will never find out she is the enemy kingdom's princess. The fae prince, Elvin, is haunted by his mother's final words of a great war to come, of lies told, and a girl with redwood hair at the center of it all. When he saves a human that fits that description with rare light magic powers, he must decipher if she will be a friend or a foe. Is there something more to the lingering pull they feel towards each other? Will years of hate between humans and fae win out? How are their fates intertwined by the past? -----.------- "Do you know what you are asking?" Elvin's baritone voice vibrated down Aria's back. His velvet tone trickled down her skin like a gentle touch. "Yes... I want to know. What it feels like to be held with care." Aria truly did want to know... this may be the only chance she would get. ------.------ War Of The Forgotten Lovers Book 1 Best Rankings: #1 out of 6.5k in Fae 09/07/21 #1 out of 14.3k in Elf 10/02/21 #1 out of 18.7 in FantasyAdventure 10/01/21 #8 out of 87.9K in YoungAdult 09/13/21 EDITING

Featured at Wattpad's Editor Picks list. Luna, an overworked Engineer, had an unfortunate end. Her spirit, feeling wronged, fights Death for a second chance in life. Death grants her the wish, but with a catch. She gets to live a new life in a new world. A world that came from a book she had been reading before. But the worst part..... she becomes Lucreatia, a side character bound to die miserable, at the hands of the hero. Luna vows to find a way to avoid her death and live peacefully her days, this time. Would she be able to do it? Or the story, already written cannot be changed? Find out! Act I: Finished (~41k words) Act II: Finished (~ 60k words) Act III: Starting ---------//‐---------- I would like to welcome everyone who came to read my story! Feedback, as long it is constructive and polite, is appreciated. This story is my first one on Wattpad and is being written on my phone during some free time. So forgive me for any mistake. In all, I hope you enjoy the story as much as I do writing it. The story will be told on a first-person basis. I feel Luna/Lucreatia would be a kick-ass girl 😁 The world would have magic and in terms of clothes and so on, close to the Victorian era. The story has strong language and talks about serious issues like death for example. At least a PG-13 type of story. You have been warned! In case mature content comes up I will warn up here and change the content rating. I may edit after publishing, though I always try to bring the finished product. Update date: Every Sunday Hopefully 😅 To be added to Royal Road (as well as Wattpad).

Frank is the last person alive on the planet after a zombie virus decimates humanity. Then he meets Jane, an achingly attractive zombie with a strong will to survive. Their journey together is brief but marked by incredible encounters and explosive action. Is Frank really the last man alive--or was his ego just making assumptions? And why does a dead girl make him feel more alive than ever before? Very violent, very mature content. Cover art by: A. Means (acrylic on wood)
