2019 MERIDIAN WRITES AWARD WINNER - RoseGold Awards Runner-Up - Galaxy Book Contest Third Place Fantasy - Cassie has never believed in magic. Whatever her ailing aunt claims, and whatever Cassie wants to believe, fairies aren't real. The old storybook is just a storybook, and the whispering in the garden is just the wind. Tae has spent all his life watching children grow up and stop believing in magic. Every companion he's ever had, lost to the human world. All but one. When Tae and Cassie's worlds collide, both are instantly enchanted. Swept away to the magic of the faery world, Cassie thinks she's living a dream. But with the kingdom on the edge of disaster and the shadow of her aunt's illness hanging over her family, what begins as a fairytale quickly becomes complicated. Maybe deadly. Because someone is taking fae in the dead of night, and Cassie and Tae find themselves wrapped up at the center of it all with no idea which way to turn. Beneath every dazzling faery light of Arcatraissa is a shadow, and everybody, human and fae, has a secret to keep. Magic is a dangerous thing to dabble in, but old lies are infinitely more so.

INTRODUCTION Dear reader this is a story in which there was a mansion in which there was a mirror through which we could go to the mirror world where everything was opposite from our world and some children enter the mirror world and after some years some bachelors enter the mirror world and they had some adventures....

{Young Adult Reads} {Trailer Included} {Humor/Chicklet} Highest Chicklet Ranking: #214 "The Crush" The awkward 4 stage position everyone finds themselves in at some point in their teenage life. Stage 1 "Puppy Love" Stage 2 "Denial" Stage 3 "Acceptance" Stage 4 "Desperate" For most people there are four stages. For me, there are five. Stage 5 has way too long a title to write out. Basically, it's the stage where I figure out, my crush doesn't want me back, both my best friends love me, and a whole lot of others start to join the infinity love triangle. Well things start to get a jumbled up and hazy. Let's just say, "It's Complicated". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I would love to be in math right now" she extraordinarily remarks, despite the insanity the comment drips with. "How?!" I grip my hair, threatening to tug each clump of the rats nest out of my skull. The dementia, the irrationality, the derangement of the statement. It's incriminating. It's preposterous. A true abomination, calamity, fiasco, a setback to our great country. "How could you possibly say something so atrocious?! How could you possibly mean something so revolting?!" "Take a chill pill, Adriann. I like math. Get it through your head." she holds her hands up in an innocent fashion. I can almost see a white flag in her palms. "I just...I find it so very vile." I stick my tongue out, proving my distaste with a triumphant fart noise. ~Warning~ Fair amount of inappropriate language, and sexual innuendo Banners by @ahimah

•First place winner of the 2017 Mist Awards and the 2nd Place winner of The 2017 Spring Awards!• "You are not allowed to feel sorry for yourself," I spoke to myself out loud as I stared at the mirror taking in my own words. "You are not allowed to take Luke down with you and you are certainly not allowed to deny the help everyone is offering you because you are too damn selfish and prideful to get up and ask for help to move on from what has happened to you." I looked at the frail girl in front of me, not recognizing her at all as the tears streamed down my face rapidly. My hands rose to wipe the tears away quickly, wanting and yearning to be stronger than I had been in such a long time. "You are strong. You are fearless. You went to hell for six months and are still here fighting. You are not allowed to give up now." Tears streamed down my face as tilted my head down once again to wipe the tears before facing myself again. "You are not allowed to give up," I spoke to myself as I saw the girl I was before the raid again for the first time in nine months. Second installment of 'The Code' trilogy.

Wind. It was as if the wind had come out of nowhere, picked her up and carried her far away from that life. She made a choice, and it changed everything.
