"I'm fine," I state rather bluntly. "You don't look fine." "Then stop looking." He chuckles, and damn does he. His voice is dessert for the ears, his face is candy for the eyes. If I wasn't so pissed off I might've swooned over him. "How can I? When an angel is so close to me," He smirks. I fully turn myself towards him this time. "Were you there? That night?" I have to know before I think about him in the light any longer. "No." He doesn't even hesitate, "But my father was," "If I may ask, what in the hell prompted him to take my brother from a car accident?" He plasters on a tight-lipped grin, a small tick in his chin. "That's the thing, Hermosa, that night was everything but an accident." (Beautiful) --- This is a small intercept from Beautifully Broken. If you decided to read it I hope you enjoy!

(Chapter 1 only) In the winter of 1941-1942, Leningrad is under siege, and Karen Hamilton, a seventeen-year-old American musician, finds herself trapped and struggling to survive. Throughout the city, people are dying of starvation and frostbite, and Karen knows that if she doesn't escape immediately, she will share their fate. If she has any hope of leaving Russia and reuniting with her fiancé, Bobby, in New York, she must do the impossible: cross enemy lines and then stow away. On her harrowing journey, Karen encounters Petr, a young conscripted Russian soldier. She isn't sure she can trust him-he is equally wary of her. But as the two join forces in order to stay alive, an unexpected romance takes root. Now, as Karen gets closer to the reality of escape, she has a choice to make: Will she return to a safe life in America with Bobby, or remain in war-torn Russia with Petr? This is a sample chapter of the book that will be available October 18 from Lake Union Publishing.

This book is all about basic French. This includes the words, how to use them and their grammar. I'm still editing this book because I am planning to apply as a French teacher here in the Philippines one day. Please proofread my work and if you see anything wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. I am not a native French speaker but I have been learning this language for 15 years. Format:English Word - Different French Words French Word (How it sounds like) - Literal Translation WARNING: THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED I'm using American / Filipino phonetics. So, pronunciation that you could see varies. For example is bonjour... if you will say bonjour in America or in the Philippines it sounds like bon jooRRRrr. People give emphasis to the "R"...It should be soft. A normal person who is not from France cannot pronounce the R softly. This is why it is slightly omitted in the phonetics i provided to balance with the language we could speak. Just like the word water. In America it sound like "wotr" we say it fast with almost a silent e. but in British it's "woo-tah" and in french it sounds like "what-ter". I tried my best to decipher the best phonetics so it would sound more french or almost the exact replica of saying it based on Filipino / American accent. If you think it is totally different, you could PM me and we could discuss about it thru skype. (Best viewed in mobile) Created on July 9, 2015 - Sept. 15, 2015 Updated on May 14, 2020 - ongoing

Harriet has always been the type of girl who would rather ride horses than stitch embroidery, practice her sword-fighting than practice her curtsies, and she'd rather dream about being the first female knight in all of history instead of a docile wife on some nobleman's arm. When a war between the allies of Ecrivenia and the kingdom of Carigan starts to brew, Harriet begins to wonder if it might just be her chance to become the knight she's always wished to be. Taking a chance, Harriet enlists in the King's Army, disguising herself as the red-headed, slight-figured, and quick-witted boy, Harry. However, when she is put under the charge of the handsome and strict King of Marenta, Leopold, she realizes her troubles are just beginning. Not only will she have to keep the other men from noticing she is a woman, but she will also have to put up with the scrutiny of King Leopold, the best friend of her brother-in-law. Throw in grueling training sessions, whispers of treason, and the enemy's secret weapon, Harriet suddenly finds herself thrust into the reality of being a knight in a war that might not be able to be won. ------ This is a sister novel to the first draft of Glass Slippers. The gorgeous cover is made by the amazing @solidarity_! Make sure to check her work out if you get the chance!
