This is my first upload on a site like this and i would just like to get some fed back. I write a lot, this ones kinda like a side story. I'm going to admit I always feel rather stupid when my friends read my stuff because I'm always sure its awful and they just aren't going to tell me so this seemed the best way to get some more honest fed back. always looking for advice if anyone is willing to give it. Thank you for reading this (if anyone actually does) comments and suggestions would be much appreciated and any stories that you would recommended i read :) Thanks RomanHobbit

Finding a mate is the farthest thing from alien warrior Jared Bennett's mind. After years of exile on Earth, the king is close to developing a weapon that will alter the fabric of time and hopefully bring peace to his own people. But a chance encounter with scientist Kelsey Wells ignites a scorching desire far more consuming than talks of rebellion. To Kelsey, Jared's heritage is exotic and alarming - nothing like the logical, scientific facts of her own world. But despite her fears, she can't deny the heated response of her body every time the magnetic leader comes near. As the bond between them grows, Jared struggles with a shocking family secret that keeps him from claiming Kelsey as his own. And a visitor from the future escalates Jared's battle for his people's freedom to a fever pitch, forcing the lovers to face one inescapable fact: Time can save them, as much as it can destroy them… AUTHOR'S NOTE: These are the first four chapters of my book, PARALLEL ATTRACTION, which you can purchase by clicking on the "external link" button to the right of this listing.

Sir Roderick of Endshire became a hero when he led the king's men to defeat a terrible dragon. He rose from a commoner to a knight, and from a knight to an alderman of the king's court-or so he should have. Cursed by a proud and foolish lady, failed by the king's alchemists and magicians one and all, Roderick sets out in search of a cure with his aide, Henry, at his side. Worn and ragged, the two find the answer to their prayers in the mysterious and mischievous Sionann of Eastlake-a self-termed "nocticary" who specializes in the breaking of curses of all kinds. A curse framed as a love spell may pose no obstacle to Sionann, but her absurd cures may be an obstacle in and of themselves...

“After over a thousand years of peace… I can’t believe it. You’ve got to run. Protect him, Sam. Save Arthur. Save Albion.” Sixteen years of the most Average Joe life known to man quickly run away from Sam Claver in one afternoon. Growing up in the area of England where Camelot, home of the Arthurian legend, supposedly was, Sam knows the ins and outs of the famed King Arthur and Merlin myth: ‘Arthur—the greatest King to have ever existed. Merlin—the most powerful wizard to have ever existed.’ But they didn’t exist; it’s just a story, a fairytale. Isn’t it? Sinead Annis seems to disagree. And she’s persistent that Sam needs to understand that perhaps they are more than legends. Perhaps they are wholly truthful. Exactly one-thousand, five-hundred and twelve years have passed since King Arthur perished on the battlefield. The dark forces that ended his rule prematurely have had over a millennia to recover and regain strength. They will attack again. Oh yeah, and don’t forget the part where Sinead seems to think Sam is the reincarnation of the timeless sorcerer: Merlin.

Destiny and passion meet in this tale of love, lust, duty and fate. All hail Ayoe, the Goddess of the forrest, and may she bring you only joy.

No longer a Princess of Cameliard, Guinevere is now a Queen. Queen of Camelot and wife of King Arthur Pendragon. She must use all of what she has been taught to become the Queen her new husband, the court and the people expect her to be. She must learn how to rule alongside Arthur, produce an heir and learn who and who not to trust. In order to do this she must find a strength within her she does not yet know as being married to the greatest King in England comes with many occupational and personal challenges. Along with suffering from the aftermath of being ambushed by bandits on their way to Camelot, Guinevere quickly learns that there is little room for weakness and fear in Camelot's court. Vowing to never be caught in another similar position, she enlists the help of the only other person aside from Arthur that she trusts - Lancelot. Guinevere is determined to be a fearless, loyal and confident Queen, able to balance her obligations to Camelot as well as her life with Arthur. But sometimes determination is not enough when both the heart and circumstance work against her. (First draft) _____________________________________________________________________________ *This is a fictional tale, based loosely on 'fact' from legends and existing stories. My aim was to write from the perspective of Guinevere, to add some depth to the tales. I have embellished quite a lot, so quests and battles may not be in the correct order and characters may be construed a little differently, but I hope to capture the turmoil and doomed relationships in my story. I wanted to explore the possible reality of the legend from an empathic point of view, to explore the emotions and difficulties that my protagonist may have actually felt in her position.

From the pages of the Children of the May saga... Two Murders. Two Revengers. The Magical Sword that binds them together. Balin rots in the dungeons of Camelot, unjustly imprisoned for seeking the death of the woman who killed his twin brother. Columbine wants King Arthur’s permission to slay the knight who murdered her beautiful cousin. She carries an enchanted sword, which can only be drawn by the man who will join her quest for revenge. When Balin and Columbine collide, castles will come tumbling down... Balin and Columbine is a novella set between Children and Ides of the May, the first two novels in S. J. Moore’s Children of the May saga. Inventively adapted from tales in Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur and other medieval sources, the Children of the May stories are full of action, adventure, magic, humour and romance - a version of the Arthurian legends for today.

There her friend Gaius will be able to guide him and help him find a purpose for his magic, she thinks. But Merlin never gets as far on his journey. On his way he meets the druids and when he finds out they got magic like him, he feels more at home than ever and decides to stay. How will this change the fate of Camelot? And how strong is the pull of destiny when Arthur is sent on a mission that causes the two sides of the same coin to cross paths?

Fanfiction from BBC's Fantasy/Drama television show Merlin. It ran for five seasons between 2008-2012. It is a retelling of the Arthurian Legend set in the late 5th early 6th centuries. It follows the title character Merlin, showing his journey from a young wizard to the fully developed warlock of lore. Throughout the series, he is forced to keep his magic a secret as it is illegal in Camelot, upon pain of death. Merlin also performs his traditional role of guiding Arthur through his own development from Prince to King. Arthur, as King, makes Guinevere, who at the time was a maid, his Queen. Through the series the development of Morgana, Arthur's half-sister and frequent antagonist, is also shown as she goes from being a royal to villainous Sorceress. The series includes all the standard elements to fantasy including magic and dragons. The fanfic takes place between series four and five, a three-year gap. The end of season four saw Arthur, with Merlin's help, reclaim Camelot's throne from Morgana who took it earlier in the series. Morgana was mortally wounded, but escaped capture. Her life was then saved by a baby dragon that Merlin found and hatched in an earlier season. I pick it up a few days from there and will chronicle Morgana's actions that lead her to her location at the opening of season five.
