WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When her initiation into her college's History Club goes awry, Sol has to come face to face with Ethan-the cute guy whose house she just broke into. ***** Soledad Gutierrez, or Sol to her friends, decides to join the History Club at her Community college. However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a husband." Wait, that's not quite right. Malak, for one thing, does not have a good fortune, at least not the finanial kind. Still, she always felt like she had it all, though some would argue that point, especially distant relatives. But she just made tenure, upgraded to Yamaha bike with that bonus check, and most importantly, the adoption process has been finalized and she was the proud mother of the 15 year old Noor, after fostering for five years. But most people back home, all they can see is a established but single Muslim woman in her 30s in desperate need of a man, who doesn't put enough effort to get married, and selfishly chose to have a child on her own. Over the years, she's avoided potential blind dates like cooked meat on Eid morning, but deep down, she wasn't sure she could get past her belief that love and marriage weren't in her 'qadar' file. Still, nothing is ever as it seems, and when it comes to love, Malak knows better than most, that it is best not to be blind.

On a sweltering summer day in America, Hartford, the death of Hopewell-a quiet, brilliant South African expatriate-reveals itself not through love or concern, but through the unbearable odour of a body left alone. As neighbours gather, authorities intervene, and his mother travels across oceans to retrieve her son, the story unfolds in fragments of memory, grief, and unanswered longing. Through the voices of those who barely knew him and the one who loved him most, The Smell of Loneliness meditates on exile, queerness, motherhood, and the devastating weight of being unseen-even in life. It is a haunting exploration of how love can exist and still fail to save us from solitude

A funny, painful love letter to London and all its outsiders. London is full of dreamers. It just doesn't have time for all of them. When Dušan, a queer Slovak filmmaker, moves to London, he believes talent and hard work will be enough. Instead, he finds himself navigating dead-end jobs, mispronounced names, awkward dates, diversity forms that don't really include him, and a city that welcomes everyone, on paper. Other White is a sharp, self-aware comedy-drama about being visible but overlooked, included but not quite wanted. About trying to "make it" while quietly disappearing. About love, ambition, class, immigration, and the strange comfort of anonymity. The term Other White is a classification of ethnicity in the United Kingdom to describe white persons who are not of the English, Welsh, Scottish, Romani or Irish ethnic groupings.

‎​Bravery isn't the absence of fear. It's shaking while ​you pull the trigger. To the officers of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Haidar Nda is a joke. A "big man's pikin" who only wears the uniform because his uncle is the National Security Advisor. He is twenty-six years old, prone to crippling panic attacks, and viewed as a liability by everyone-especially his boss, the ruthless Comptroller General, Khadija Mohammed. ‎​Khadija, the "Iron Lady of Sauka," sees Haidar as a stain on her reputation. She wants him gone. But Khadija has secrets of her own-a desperate debt and a compromise that leads her into a deadly trap in the industrial shadows of Abuja. ‎​When a secret meeting with a crime syndicate turns into a bloodbath, the security detail is wiped out. The backup is cut off. The exit is blocked. ‎​Suddenly, the only thing standing between the Comptroller General and a squad of hired assassins is the one man she despised the most. ‎​Cut off, outgunned, and terrified, Haidar must fight a war on two fronts: the ruthless killers closing in for the kill, and the deafening voice in his own head screaming at him to run. ‎​In a night of bullets and betrayal, the boy who shakes will have to become the man who stands. ‎​A pulse-pounding thriller set against the backdrop of Abuja's corridors of power, The Trembling Guardian is an unforgettable story about the terrifying cost of duty and the unexpected face of courage. ‎

So, you want to know how I became awesome? (Spoilers: It involved less radiation and a whole lot more responsibility and sarcasm.) I was born in Fremont, sure, but I was built in Hayward, California-the self-declared Heart of the Bay. My family crossed a few pesky borders so the next generation (that's me!) could cross some finish lines. I learned all my life skills from Little League dreams, cheap Saturday morning cartoons, and the kind of karate confidence only a kid who mainlined 3 Ninjas and Bruce Lee could possess. Yes, I'm talking about me. Oh, and I met my wife in Spanish class at Mt. Eden High. We were just two teenagers trying to avoid failing un poquito, not realizing we were laying the concrete foundation for a whole lifetime. Seriously, that kind of love is the only thing that kept me from flying off the rails-and trust me, there were plenty of tempting crossroads. Did I take the perfect path? Nope. No perfect college roadmap here. Just a ton of sheer stupidity I managed to avoid, and a work ethic so intense my ancestors probably slow-clapped from the afterlife. I somehow ended up building a career in healthcare technology leadership. Now I guide teams, make hard calls, and generally try to take care of people the way my community took care of me. Look, I'm Javier. I'm a husband, a father of five, and a second-generation Mexican American determined to raise the bar. This isn't just some dusty old memoir. This is my story of love, loyalty, culture, confidence, and the inevitable regret and redemption that comes when you stop running from yourself. It's about choosing the right path (the hard one, naturally), becoming the man I needed growing up, and proving that where you start is never the limit. It's just... the opening scene. Now let's get started.
