Fiji Stories

Thirteen short stories I submitted as entries into the "Twelve Prompts of Christmas" contest, created by Carol Ann Shaw (@WriterOnTheIsland). Each of these stories is based on real-life events. Several of them are plain-old non-fiction. Can you guess which ones? The rest of them tell the real-life story, but from a different branch of the alternate-Universe tree. Examples of ways in which reality has branched: What if my Dad went pro as an Opera singer? What if I only had a couple of siblings, rather than six of them? What if I didn't move to New York, but instead stayed with Boston Ballet Company? What if my first boyfriend had been older than me instead of younger than me? What if my high-school crush and I had crossed paths again after high-school? What if my brother came out at Christmas Dinner instead of after my Dad's passing?

This is a Midnigt Texas fanfic where you as the reader will be a very old vampire that comes to midnight in search of a old friende. You fight you win you lose. You find new friends and get back old friends. you find love with a special girl.

this book is all about the history and the all powerful mythical gods of Fiji

The beginning of a book I am writing, I would appreciate any feedback.

"Instincts are what keep us safe from fate. Ignoring them can change your life forever." Fame and fortune arrived overnight and after months on the road with her singing tour, all Estelle craves is peace. Tired and ready for paradise, she travels to Fiji to recuperate. Stubborn and surly, Galloway is avoided by most--which is exactly the way he likes it. However, he's done spending his life in regret and hopes to find redemption in the tropical wilderness. Together, they board the flight that changes their fate forever. Crash landing on a deserted island, they not only have to figure out how to survive with no skills and daily dangers--learning how to fish, find water, and build shelter--but also inherit two children who look to them to keep them alive. However, staying alive might be the least of Galloway and Estelle's problems. As days creep to months and rescue doesn't find them, their desire for each other ignites. They started as strangers. They grew to be friends. They fought the desire to be lovers. Lust can be the most beautiful thing. Love the most rewarding. But not on an island where life hangs by a thread and giving into temptation can kill you. Can they survive being forgotten or will love be their ultimate undoing? From New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters comes a timeless love story answering the question of what happens when everything is stripped away. Standalone.
