    Reincarnation "Isekai" stories set in a fantasy medieval European world are quite repetitive with the overpowered magic main character. So, the main character of this story will be pulling the world into an industrial revolution...or so he vows. This version has been discontinued, see my 'remake' version.

Having already lived a childhood bouncing from home to home in Brooklyn, our reluctant heroine - Amelia La Graine - has her life turned upside down and inside-out when she travels back in time to the era of the American Industrial Revolution (circa 1820). There, she must discover why she was sent back and what she must do to go home. Will one woman, stuck in the past, change the future of a young and budding country? The first book in the "Combustion" trilogy weaves a tangled tale of heroism, deceit, danger, and manipulation - all while Amelia tries finding herself in an epoch that was never meant to be hers.

    A historical fiction short story I wrote in year 9. Although, Elsie, and the characters in this story didn't actually exist, many of the events did take place. In the time of the Industrial Revolution many poor children were subject to child labour and cruel working conditions. If a child were to be late to work, they would be punished brutally, and if they were to become sick or unable to work, they were fired and given no money. In the 19th century, there was a large factory called Bryant and May's which produced massive number of matchsticks; however, these came at a cost. They used a harmful element called white phosphorous (known as yellow phosphorous back then), on the tips of matchsticks. This proved fatal for many of the predominately women and children working at the factory. The workers were subject to 12 hours of work handling this substance and many developed what is known as phossy jaw. I loosely based the factory Elsie worked in on Bryant and May's, and mention the effects of what working with white phosphorous caused such as when I mention Elsie's 'remaining teeth', and how Maude's gums are 'glowing' an eerie 'green', which is said to have sometimes happened when workers were exposed to white phosphorous. In this text I mention physical abuse to children, dangerous environment and duties, worker exploitation, poverty, and overcrowding houses. This story is based on the happening of the Industrial Revolution, in particular the 1800s, in London.

When modern-day engineer Dr. Katherine Prescott is ripped from her lab and hurled into an alternate 19th century, she lands in a reality where steam and sorcery fuel a brutal war.

As her innovations reshape the battlefield, Katherine rises through the ranks, only to grapple with the destruction she's unleashed and a haunting prophecy naming her the 'Catalyst'-destined to either end the conflict or doom the world to eternal darkness. Torn between escaping to her own time and confronting her role in this one, she navigates treacherous alliances, uncovers a sinister cabal, and faces an impossible choice atop a steam-driven fortress. Gears of Destiny is a pulse-pounding steampunk saga of innovation, morality, and the power of one woman's decisions to alter destiny."
