To keep myself from losing track of: all the 2025 contests I've entered, all the 2025 contests I've volunteered myself as a judge (or let myself be volun-told into judging), all the 2025 books I've had to read as a contestant or as a judge, all the 2025 deadlines, and all the other important stuff, here is a book that registers all these 2025 things in a somewhat organized fashion. With occasional commentary. Nota bene: Although other people are welcome to browse my public contest logs and look for contests, look for information about details of contests (i.e. you want me to pour you some tea), etc, these contest logs are primarily for my own use. I enter so many contests that I can't keep track of them without a log. I forget important details, too, including things like "Note to self: You do not get along with this contest host, best not participate in their contests." Like my 2024 contest log, this was never meant to be an "expose" book. I'm not exposing anybody. Contests are matters of public record, as are any comments made in the contest books. I'm just a ditz who needs a written log to keep track of everything. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my shoulders. I DO NOT CONSENT TO MY POETRY AND PROSE BEING USED TO TRAIN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

A life built on quiet strength, on dreams whispered into the night only to watch them slip away in a single moment. A new city, a new college, a place that wasn't part of the plan. Nothing felt right... until it did. Strangers became lifelines. Laughter found its way back. Just when the world began to feel less heavy fate played another card. A soul with fire in his eyes and a storm behind his silence. Two broken worlds collided not perfectly, but powerfully. They weren't meant to find each other. But they did. And in that chaos, something beautiful began. Together, they healed what the world had tried to break. Together, they found meaning, purpose, love. And just when it felt real... it was gone. No reasons. No goodbyes. Just emptiness. What follows isn't a love triangle. It's a war between memory and reality. Between what was, and what should've been. Because sometimes, moving on isn't strength it's survival. This isn't just a story. It's a feeling. Of love found in the wrong place, at the wrong time... and lost before it could begin. [Coming soon]

Too devoted to their demanding careers, they believe love would only slow them down. At the rate they're rejecting proposals, it seems they've no plans to get in a relationship forever.

Every time Sania and Nazli arrange a meeting with a potential suitor, Miran and Zoona ensure it ends in disaster - leaving the poor match run for their lives.

If executed perfectly, it could fix two cardiac patients with one surgery. But one misstep, and their scheme could be exposed, blowing everything up beyond repair. Can Sania and Nazli kindle a spark of romance in their reckless siblings' hearts - or will their overambitious plan only make Miran and Zoona despise love even more?

She once laughed at his pain. Now, she cleans his floors. Vijay was just a desperate boy on the streets, humiliated and mocked by the very girl he begged for help-Redeemer. Years later, fate spins a cruel but poetic twist. Vijay is no longer the helpless beggar. He's now a cold, powerful billionaire... and Redeemer? She's his maid. In a mansion filled with wealth and secrets, old wounds resurface and new emotions begin to bloom. Redeemer struggles with guilt and confusion as the once-proud boy she scorned now holds all the power-and her heart in his hands. But Vijay has his own war within: Should he punish her for the past or open his heart to a future he never thought possible? With the arrival of Redeemer's flirtatious friend Yvonne and the calming presence of Vijay's wise and loving father Resharb, the mansion becomes a battleground of jealousy, redemption, and unexpected affection.

Using powers can age you, kill you...or drive you mad. Ian Sharp knows none of this when his destructive powers wreck his house near Denver and nearly kill his sister...because no one knows powers exist. He's forced on the run the day before graduation as the ruthless Hunters of a vicious shadow government track him down. Soon, he finds himself in a hidden, underground city built by giants before the great flood. A city full of people with special abilities. But Ian is drawn to the only one without powers-Abby Pierce. Just when the two are growing closer, a Hunter spy frames Ian for murder, getting him exiled. Ian must risk his sanity and depend on an insane teleporting monk to help him find the city again before Abby falls victim to cold-blooded murder. ----- The science, archaeology, theology, and history in the Winter's Edge series are real, except in regard to the direct backstory of the two fictitious underground city. Little-known truths about the world are exposed in the book series with solid, irrefutable evidence from mainstream scientific researchers. Book one gives the readers one large dose of this, but the future novels in the series will truly leave the readers speechless. Told through the eyes of Ian Sharp and Abby Pierce, Winter's Edge is an action adventure urban fantasy for teens and adults alike. Whether it's mystery, twists, a love story, deep philosophical discussion, humor, or loads of tension you're seeking, Winter's Edge delivers it all in a serious yet sometimes hilarious package. ----- [#152 Highest rank in Adventure] [Winter's Edge Series Book 1: This book is fully written, but only one chapter a week will be posted on Fridays and a bonus chapter from time to time, as well.] I'm very responsive to comments, so let me know what you think! #Badassreads #InToAction #grownupreads #teenreads #rebelwars #EWA2018 #YourTrulyAwards

My friends always ask me, "Tom, have you ever written a book of poetry? It seems that you include poetry in almost all of your books?" I have never been able to satisfactorily answer that query. I have loved poetry all my life, but never considered myself a poet. I have been fortunate to publish over thirty poems in Art Journals and Magazines. Never more than three at a time. I don't know if my stuff is good enough for an entire chapbook of poems. But- let's give it a try and see how it is received!
