    Back in 2015 there was an accident that rocked Aurora Brahm's world. No, it wasn't a skydiving accident like she always joked she would die from. It wasn't from swimming with stingrays or sharks. It wasn't from jumping off a cliff with her husband, Jude. It was a lapse in concentration and incoming traffic. It took her world. Jude has been in a coma ever since, and the doctors have very little hope that he will recover from his vegetative state. But Aurora won't give up. This is the fight for Jude Brahm. ~ ~ ~ "The most bizarre mix of emotions twisting my stomach. Seriously, this book is amazing. I have never, and I read A LOT so I mean NEVER, read something that made me so happy and excited yet sad and completely devastated at the same time. . ." - Michelle from @KaraMichelleBooks , coauthor of Breeder Nation "This is so emotional and, at the same time, very cute! I'm in love with your story." - @amethystnebula "I am seriously in love with your story. It's probably one of the sweetest I've read in a long time. And the idea is ingenious!" - @QuixoticHearts "I love this story! The time jumps work because of the letter/journal format, and the memories/scenes you've picked to show are perfect, like the highlights of what made their relationship what it was. I absolutely love their relationship and you have created these characters so vividly." - @CCrawfordWriting gorgeous cover by @pasteldevil- ^-^

    Peering down the alley, I wondered if it would be smart to take. I mean it was eleven o'clock at night, anything could happen. My house was definitely a block away from the other side of the alley instead of five miles around. I usually took it, but it's way darker than what it usually is. Deciding to run the mile down, I took off through. Almost expecting it to turn out this way. Someone had caught me, and thrown me to a wall. A gasp escaped my lips as I desperately tried to sit up while holding the back of my head. "What a tasty snack. Do I have the privilege of knowing my victim's name?" The guy asked me. ~|~The Rest of this you can ignore~|~ Other information: REVISED COMING SOON- Date may never happen STARTED: July 10, 2016. 5:30pm (Eastern time) ENDED: July 10, 2016 10:00pm (Eastern time) Cover by: an Army Geek (me)

    Most people -- if they invented a story-creating computer program -- would stop at nothing to make it work somehow. If twenty-five year old Charlotte Lang wasn't so held back by her past and her tedious job as a computer animation artist, she'd probably do that, too. But after years of being overwhelmed by guilt as a result of something that happened to her beloved sister, she has lost the will to fight for her invention. Charlotte's half-hearted attempts to get her story-building program to work have been less-than-successful for the last seven years. When she gives the main character on her latest attempt a fatal flaw, she doesn't expect it to make a difference one way or the other. It probably won't work anyway, right? Unfortunately for this flawed character, the program does work. Paris Verloren, a mechanic in a dirty, gray-skied city doesn't belong in the white side of town or the black. He has some problems of his own. Aside from his inability to love-thanks to Charlotte Lang-he doesn't relate with his elder half-brother, the business at his mechanic shop is slow, life is hard, and there's a girl who has attached herself to him. Femi, a colorless, mute painter whose name means "love me", has nothing if not her painting, and no one to speak of who cares about her. When Paris comes upon the scene of her painting an alley, she seizes the opportunity to love someone. With Paris' inability to love, and Femi's clear need for love in her lonely existence, what will become of the two? Will their creator, Charlotte Lang, do anything to counteract the impending misfortune written in the form of fact? #678 General Fiction 3/30/16 ©2015 Alyssa Tidmore All rights reserved

    They tried to warn her. All he was going to do was break her heart. Well, then let him break it. *** High school. The dreaded part of our lives where you had to figure out your life, deal with a boat load of feelings, and try not to break down. It wasn't fair, but then again, life wasn't fair. Some school's had a specific tradition- sports, academics, or clubs. Well, Jaylee and Luke's school had a very... unique tradition; who could be the top heartbreaker. Every year, there was a boy and girl heartbreaker, battling for the top. There was only one difference between the other generations and Luke and Jaylee's. The Heartbreaker's Game. The game was simple. Whoever broke the other's heart first was the winner, and the other would be the school's loser. All they had to do was try to not fall for each other, and they both knew that would be highly impossible. Or so they thought. With fights, friends, secrets, and love, who will make it out on top?

    I wiped my eyes before gazing at him again. "How are you so sure of us? I thought you avoided this-- avoided love." "I did avoid it. But you make it so damn hard. I'm not saying the ride will be easy for us, love," His boyish grin played on his lips, and my heart melted in my chest. His fingers brushed against my cheek as he leaned closer to me, whispering, "But I promise it will be worth it." °•○•° Brooke Anderson was the star softball player of Alabama.
