    Lucille Ansel was a French army nurse who spent her days caring for injured soldiers. Sounds simple right? Wrong. She had to face lots of problems each day to keep them and her alive. Her situation is made more difficult when a new soldier arrives. Covered in blood and gashes, she was uncertain whether he'd make the night. Yet she did her duty and helped him. What she doesn't know is that he is a German soldier, the enemy, who was so injured he stumbled into the wrong tent. Cover: Thanks to @_Ph0ebe_ for the amazing cover. I'm in love with it. Check her out for all of your cover needs.

    Emily Weston has disappeared from the real world and is stranded in a place called the Borderlands, another world where time does not exist and you cannot age or die. Although Emily is not alone, there is a small, dysfunctional community of mostly young and unique people like herself, except they come from the past, from different era’s in time and as it turns out two of them George Leighton and Luke Edensor are the “history boys” who she first met as a child. Emily has dreamed about this world her whole life and feels an irresistible connection to it; she is also drawn to the handsome but tortured First World War soldier Luke Edensor, the boy from her dreams who Emily is starting to fall in love with… However Emily does not want to forget her home and is also desperate to return to her life in Pennbrooke, worried about her vulnerable mum. And there might be a way home though only if Emily truly desires it and is strong enough to make the attempt. Although something is not quite right in the Borderlands, for in this seemingly, peaceful and idyllic world, someone has been watching Emily for a long time, a hidden danger growing in the shadows and a fate that has been awaiting Emily Weston from the moment she arrived in this world. Will Emily be able to unlock the mystery surrounding her childhood meeting with Luke Edensor and discover the truth about their shared history? And will George, Luke and Emily be timeless forever or will the three of them be able to find a way to leave the Borderlands and discover abilities within themselves beyond their imaginings? Though even in a timeless world time is running out for Emily and her friends who must decide whether or not to make a stand and fight for their existence. Though ultimately torn between two worlds will Emily Weston be able to return to her own time and leave Luke Edensor behind forever?

    In the chaos of 1914, as the world descends into the bloodiest war in history, two strangers meet where they least expect it - between the silence of the guns. James Whitmore, a young British soldier, has seen too much death for his years. Elise Dubois, a French nurse, has seen too much pain for her heart to bear. When their paths cross on a battlefield drenched in mud and memories, neither expects to find comfort in the other. But in a world where tomorrow is never promised, love can be the most dangerous battlefield of all. From candlelit whispers to the roar of artillery, this is a tale of stolen moments, desperate letters, and a romance that dares to survive the Great War. When the bullets pause, will their love be enough?

    During the holiday season of 1914, after the First World War had ground down into a stalemate, something remarkable happened: men from both sides crossed into No Man's Land and celebrated Christmas together. In the following interview, you'll experience this legendary moment in history through the eyes of First World War veteran Simon Bennington, who served with the British Expeditionary Force near Ypres. This is one of my oldest stories, written all the way back in 2013 as an assignment for my creative writing class, and I'm pleased to share it with you as a sort of Christmas present.
