Ashton White is the Prince of Staroix, and a billion other things besides. He loves swimming and his few friends. But above all, he wishes that for once in his life, his stepmother, his only family left, would notice him. He gets his wish. Just not the way he thought he would. This is a Snow White retelling/gender bend/remix/whatever-these-things-are-called-I-don't-really-know-don't-judge-me. Complete Jan. 29, 2022. And the cover is not mine per se. It's a template.

3 in Remix 5/26/23 Long ago, sirens rose above the waves to live alongside humans. It was the only way for them to survive since the ocean waters became polluted. People used to believe that the sirens existed among them, and when the sirens started a coup against the royal family that failed, it led to a massive genocide. To this day, no sirens ever sing in public, fearing another round of persecution. Unless they simply don't care. Kayden has wanted to sing all of his life. But he can't. His family has had only one rule enforced above all others: No singing in public. But what happens when he goes against his family's wishes, living his dream as a masked pop star with a killer voice and guitar. So killer, that he catches the attention of none other than Prince Liam? Will he tell the truth and unveil what lies in Alleba's shadows? Or will he forever live a lie? Submitted to the 2023 Wattys, wish me luck! This is a Little Mermaid Remix and the second book in the Light series. This is rated PG-13 for language, violence, steamy romance, and mentions of assault (hypnotism through siren voice is considered magical assault). And, you'll notice Kayden has a slight swearing problem.

14 in fairytaleretelling 10/23/22 Princess Luna of Yaquir angered the wrong person. Now she's doomed to be a beast, as ugly on the outside as she is within, unless she can find someone to love her. At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either. This is a Beauty and the Beast genderbend, and the third book in the Light series. As with all of my books, it can be read as a standalone. It's rated PG-13 for language and violence. Updates will be every Saturday starting July 9

When she hears about her dying princess, her next thought is only of how she can help. After some machinations and a bit of cursing, Viviana gives up and takes matters entirely into her own hands, deciding to deal with the Snow Queen with or without the King's approval. But nothing is what it seems and when Viviana finds out the truth, it'll be up to her to decide who lives and who dies. (This is the fourth book in the Light series. As with all the others, it can be read as a standalone. Updates will be every Friday/Saturday.)

Welcome to my Light Series Extra book, which was created when I realized there was so much more to explore. New character sides to discover and possibly some awkward situations. There will be ship content, side character spotlights, undiscovered backgrounds, and loads more. Of course, after all the books have been written this will contain something from all books. If you don't want spoilers, make sure you check the titles and read the chapters in order. Unlike the actual Light Series books, this will have no schedule. Think of it as a "when I feel like it" pure inspiration book. Rated PG-13 because Kayden is bound to make an appearance and swear at some point.

For @freetheLGBT contest. The contest closes on October 15. Word count: 1729. Prompt: My life was like the winter season, frigid, lonely, and colorless until I found spring.

So what happens when a siren with the ability to lift the mask appears? ...instant attraction. That's what happens. I hope you enjoy the story.

Prince Leonardo is, by far, the most respected and beloved leader amongst his people. Knowing he's going to be King, having a high approval rating is pretty nice. The problem is his conscience. He feels he hasn't earned the admiration others feel for him, often attributing his brilliant projects in the humanities to the help of his younger twin sisters and brother. Especially his brother. But Prince Damien isn't one for the spotlight at all. Instead, he suggested Leonardo try doing a project completely independently if he feels so undeserving. So Leo set his sights on one thing no one has been able to achieve since the deaths of King Edward and Queen Rosa Fresthan of Yaquir. He wants an alliance with Remembauri. ^^^ Princess Maala can't remember the last time she's felt truly free. Imprisoned in her desert oasis, more so than her tower, she has given up on escape. She longs to see the world, but she can also recognize a curse when she sees one. She'll most likely never live to escape her prison or truly see her family again. With only a bodyguard, a magic mirror, and an unfortunate male acquaintance for company, how will the only princess of Remembauri save herself from wasting away? This is the fifth book in the Light series. As with all other books, it can be read as a standalone. Updates will be every Saturday.
