The third novel of The Alki Trilogy, Walking Home, is a story about searching for a place to nourish the soul and provide sanctuary from violence.

United States, 2083. John Howe, an enhanced cyber operations soldier, fought his way home After Day One only to find the country he fought for broken, and his wife and son murdered. By 2096 he’d rebuilt his home and started to live a comfortable life on the outskirts of the Free Territories, the Pacific North West. That was before Sierra and Quinn. The twin thirteen-year-old orphans he was saddled with the minute he saved them from the fat, greasy gypsy couple holding them. Now he’s a man who is just trying to get rid of them before they all end up dead. As fate would have it, a super soldier and two kids with abilities that could save the country, and maybe earth, are going to be hard to separate. The world is fragmented and looking for a hero. Some heroes come in rough packaging.

This is an extended sample of the book PRINCE CHARMING (Booktrope, 2015). The full story can be found here: http://goo.gl/TwdQOm --- What happens when the high school geek and the prom queen find out they have more in common than just schoolwork? Senior class overachiever Geoff Miller thought he had it all figured out. All he needed to do was make it through the next six months, graduate, and get on with his life. College at the University of Virginia beckoned him—and he just wanted to put the last horrible four years at Heritage High School in the “done” folder. But Geoff hadn’t counted on one important thing: beautiful, magnetic Laine Phillips. For years, Geoff crushed on Laine from afar. He didn’t think she even knew he existed. In fact, his obsession seemed to him like a distraction from an unhappy life in a snobby, Greater Cincinnati suburb. Until the day everything changed. And when it did, this unlikely Prince Charming got a chance to make his move on Laine.

Ryle is a college student who comes over to his friend's house for a project. There he meets Anne and immediately falls in love. She loves him too. But her parents don't approve.

Chen Yichen is a young man who exudes a cold, distant demeanor, which often keeps others at arm's length. His eyes, though sharp and intense, carry a hint of sadness and caution, revealing the inner turmoil he hides. Yichen's posture is reserved, and he often avoids eye contact, as if he's shielding himself from the world around him. His fear of being judged and his deep mistrust of others have led him to build thick emotional walls, making him seem mysterious and unapproachable. Despite his aloof exterior, this demeanor is a defense mechanism, masking a vulnerable heart that fears betrayal and the harsh scrutiny of society. He prefers solitude, finding comfort in his own company, where he can control his environment and avoid the pain of broken trust. Until one day, he finds a group of people he loves and can be free around. Choi Aera is a sweet, introverted girl whose presence is as light and soft as the scent of bubblegum. Her smile is bright and infectious, and she often radiates warmth when she's around her friends, making her the heart of any small group. However, beneath this cheerful exterior lies a deep shyness and vulnerability. Aera is highly sensitive and emotional, often feeling things more intensely than others, which can sometimes overwhelm her. She struggles with trust issues, always second-guessing if she's truly accepted by those around her. Her fear of being judged or disliked makes her cautious in new situations, often holding back her true feelings. Despite this, her genuine kindness and care for others shine through, even if she's a bit hesitant to fully open up. this is a story with twisted affection and upside down love. Is it gonna end well or not? p.s half of my inspiration came from kdramas and cdramas books and c.ai, of course, so it's my first time writing, so error will be shown. I hope you enjoy, tho love yall♡
