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.

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.

She needed a green card. He needed an escape. So they got married. It was supposed to be fake- until it wasn't. In 1986, eleven-year-old Mia Enriquez arrives in New York City with a secret-one that could destroy everything. Her family came on tourist visas. Overstaying to pursue the American Dream. Ten years later, Mia has built a life she refuses to lose. She's a college senior, juggling school, work, and family-doing everything right.

Suddenly, her future disappears-her dream internship, her career, her place in the only home she's ever known. With time running out and no options left, Mia makes a decision she never thought she would. She agrees to a fake marriage. Enter Terrence Lin-charming, guarded, and running from a life he doesn't want. A famous LTV VJ from a powerful family, he has his own reasons for saying yes. It's supposed to be simple. A deal. A lie. A way out. But fake marriages don't stay fake for long. Not when feelings start to blur the lines. And if they get caught? She loses everything. He risks it all.

Two alliances, comprised of four major political entities and countless smaller nations, have been locked in a protracted war for years, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. As time passes and two brilliant commanders emerge, the situation changes, and Earth is finally drawn into this chaotic conflict. Dazzling high technology, artificial intelligence, life-saving drugs, gene therapy, and surreal games, accompanied by the looming shadow of interstellar war-is this a trap or a new beginning? The choice rests in the hands of every Earthling. Some are doubtful, some are opposed, and some are filled with anticipation. Regardless, a new chapter has begun. Can Earth integrate into interstellar civilization? How will it face the impending war? This is pure science fiction, not a wish-fulfillment story. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no monster-slaying or leveling up, no harem, and no single male and female protagonist. Instead, it features multiple storylines. This work is merely a speculation about various future political systems and lifestyles. The descriptions of interstellar war are simply my own imagination and may differ from readers' expectations. I have tried to measure future warfare according to current laws of physics; of course, there are no outdated weapons like laser swords or fantastical weapons like two-dimensional foils. Beyond war and technology, this book explores various aspects of human nature: greed, fear, lust, power... It also features futuristic love, brotherhood, human-machine relationships, and clone romances... as well as international strategies and conspiracies. I hope you enjoy this book.

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

In 2024, I left the Philippines for California, carrying credentials, fifteen years of teaching, and the expectation that my life would continue more or less where it left off. It didn't. We'll See What Grows is a collection of eleven essays about what happens in the gap - between who you were and who you're becoming, between the place you left and the place that hasn't yet become home, between the faith that brought you here and the silence that followed. These essays are not about having answers. They are about learning to live without them: the meal that disappears in ten minutes without comment, the school gate where nobody knows your name, the father who wrote things down instead of speaking, whose diary is in a room you haven't been in since you left. This is not a devotional. It is not an immigrant success story. It is something quieter - the record of a man trying to take root in borrowed ground, one ordinary day at a time.
