    Swept to a magical land by a tornado, Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto, must find their way back home to Kansas. Along the challenging adventure, they make three new friends who are each searching for their own hearts desire. The friends encounter many obstacles along the way, including a vengeful Wicked Witch and other strange and interesting creatures that live in the land, all while learning more about themselves in the process. Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline, origins of certain characters, and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. I used a mix of the MGM Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz (1985), and other Oz adaptations to create the visuals.

    In a world where fairy tales are not what they seem, a girl must become the monster to protect the ones she loves. When the blood moon rises, the wolf awakens-and no lamb is safe. A promise made in blood... a legacy of courage born from tragedy. But for Hazel, once the wolf knows her scent-there's no hiding forever. ✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦ Hazel had always been the protector, the big sister to Ollie and her adoptive family sheep at Blueberryville. But when the wolf came, her world was painted in blood and loss. An ancient curse, a poisoned heart, and a witch's vengeance cast a long shadow over the village. Driven by a dying promise and a love that would not break, Hazel's innocence turned into grim resolve. Her path became haunted, stalked by yellow eyes and the ghost of a mother's lullaby. Unexplained maulings and brutal hunts under the blood moon began again. Homes were shattered-no mercy shown, only claw marks and the echo of a beast's growl. And Hazel soon realized the wolf wasn't just hunting... it was waiting for her. She would soon discover the truth behind the legend. A truth wearing a familiar face. A man with a cursed soul... one twisted by rage and regret. To hunt. To kill. To destroy. ✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦❃✦𖦹✦ ⚠ Content Warning: animal death, child endangerment, graphic violence, blood/gore, intense peril, emotional trauma, and frightening scenes ⚠

    𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑. ❝KIDNAPPED BY THE STARS, CHOSEN BY THE MOON❞ ━━━ When the Celestial Ascension demands an unprecedented extra human tithe, half-fae Asteria Cinderlan is dragged from the Mortal Realm into the breathtaking nightmares of the Star Court. She expects to be a plaything for the vain Fae, but besides that, she is met with pure hostility from Prince Persei. He is a cynical and paranoid Star Heir obsessively tracking an ancient prophecy, convinced that Asteria is actually the monster destined to erase reality by unleashing Kenon, the Great Annihilator - a restless god who views all life as noise staining his perfect dark Void. The prince is motivated to make sure that this celestial mistake doesn't wreck havoc in his realm or hurt his friends. But he might be hunting the wrong human. While he watches her every move, waiting for a betrayal, a strange magic is beginning to show beneath Asteria's skin. She doesn't understand what that is, but Kenon's surviving daughter, the Ker, is desperate to rip it out of her soul. Forced into close proximity by the King's command, Asteria and Persei play a game of cat-and-mouse amidst palace politics, odd friendships, pegasi races, and a series of mysterious murders. But as a dark, entropic war begins to turn the indigo skies black, enemies must become allies to ensure the Great Annihilator doesn't return... even if the key to locking him away means unleashing a dormant, celestial power stored inside a human that could destroy the entire Star Court.

    " And they lived happily ever after." Does it sounds familiar? In every fairytale there's always a happy ending but wait... not all endings come from a predictable storyline. And some are not so happily ever after. Someone, somewhere and somehow keeps changing the plotlines and jeopardizing the storybook world and it's up to Nyx to figure out who and stop them from ruining her chances of getting out of the classic fairytale Cinderella she's trapped inside. With some characters that quite the opposite of your expectations, the story becomes unhinged ever after through the point of view of the crazy, shameless, annoying and selfish spitfire money loving FGM of the story. ... "Why should I believe you." The grand duke commented lazily still holding the hilt of his weapon. " Because... because." I faltered. Hey, if you would just let me explain to you that I just saved your life and want to pair Cinderella and her prince together-without the six foot sword lying upon my shoulder and beloved neck- I'll do so and gladly vamos from here!
