A bittersweet journey of first love, growing up, and the spaces left behind. Infused with lighthearted comedy and emotional moments, this tale explores the warmth of childhood memories, the sting of sudden goodbyes, and the inevitable transitions that shape who we become.

Rhiannon Auclair is the crown princess. So she ought to be the future monarch of Calravia, right? She might be but perhaps in name only. Taking a husband has never appealed to her, but discovering he might very well be the defacto ruler of her country didn't make it any more appealing. This is what everyone wants, but she hardly wants to smile and play queen. Lucky for her, the queen dowager agrees, and when she's involved, no granddaughter of hers is going to play second fiddle regarding her birthright. But what happens when a situation, one not even the queen dowager can shield Rhiannon from, presents itself? Rhiannon has always been warned about the deceptive nature of people and to be wary of everyone, especially those close to her. But she disregards that advice in favor of a companion to unburden her heart. A mistake that exposes her not just to the dangers of her own court but also to the wild intricacies of the outside world. Now she finds herself in a reality she wasn't properly trained for, where one wrong move could result in her death. But she's determined not to let that happen. Will her determination win, or will she find herself at the other end of a sword?

At Federal Government College, Nasarawa, the air is thick with the scent of dusty chalk and the heat of the northern sun. For most students, the final years of high school are about exams and graduation parties. For Amira and Sewa, they are a countdown to a collision. Amira is an only child, raised with the heavy weight of expectation. Her parents have invested every kobo into her "value," grooming her to be the perfect bride so her marriage can lift them out of poverty. To her family, she is a treasure to be traded. To herself, she is a girl trapped in a cage of silk and tradition. Sewa is the whirlwind that breaks the silence. Coming from a home where she is told to "follow her heart," she moves with a confidence that Amira finds both terrifying and magnetic. Sewa has everything, money, support, and a bright future, but she soon learns that "following your heart" is easy until that heart chooses someone the world says is forbidden. As the final school bell approaches, their stolen glances in the library and whispered conversations behind the dormitories turn into a flame they can no longer hide. "In a place where tradition is law and family is everything, can Sewa's wealth buy them a way out? Or will Amira's debt to her parents be the price that breaks them both?"

Once, Britain and the European continent were bound by a land bridge, Doggerland, throughout most of the last Ice Age. The wide river valleys comprising Doggerland teemed with wildlife, flora and humans. Millenia passed and a hunter-gatherer population flourished along the shores and marshes of Doggerland. But the Ice Age subsided, glaciers melted and the sea began to rise. No low tide pulled back the floods, and those who survived were crowded into an ever shrinking stretch of habitable land. Doggerlander tells the story of a young daughter and sister of a small tribe as she learns to wield a blade and endure in a wild that is changing all around her people in ways never before seen in their history. She witnesses the destruction of her home under the insatiable greed of the rising sea. She suffers the demeaning betrayal of a young betrothal to an unfamiliar man from a strange tribe. And, she is party to the violence and havoc wrought by tribes colliding into one another as they clash over what diminishing patch of earth remains above the surface.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. - SHAKESPEARE "We don't know love like we should. We always talk about, 'I have unconditional love', unconditional love is... we dont even know it. Because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them. You're not interesting to talk to anymore, goodbye. But that's real love, that love that sometimes is difficult to have. That's that love. And that's a confidence builder" - LAURYN HILL Counsellor, "Describe Love?" "Its Loyal and Respectful" "Its Honest and Trustworthy"

The story of how the infamous Horcrux diary ended up in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and in the wrong way-and it led to the right consequences. • What? A proper old‑school romp in fanfic trappings. Scratch the surface and you'll find social speculative fiction, a coming‑of‑age tale, a psychological thriller, and a good deal else. • Who? Readers who've had their fill of harems, secret legacies and overpowered heroes, and want some solid storytelling with soft humor, fully realised characters and plot. • Who won't it suit? Anyone on the hunt for the 'steamy stuff.' There's none of that here-absolutely none. Sorry. Really, though, it's just a story for people who love magic with all their heart.

A day out, a chance encounter and possibly, a new friend.
