Xoxoconfessions Stories

#XOXOConfessions Flash Fiction Contest Entry I'm not a normal girl. Anyone could pass me on the street and believe otherwise. Sadly, they're mistaken. From my bottle dyed hair down to the name on my license. I'm not Alison Andrews and this is my confession.

Paige might have just shot her career in the foot, the result of letting down her guard at a holiday party and drinking a little too much spiked eggnog. It takes her by surprise to find herself under the mistletoe with the likeliest of allies thinking the unlikeliest of thoughts. She's going to have to make a decision or risk making the biggest mistake of her life.

Andrew and Kelly, the hero and heroine from Beck Anderson's novels Fix You and Trouble Me, discover that sometimes early morning confessions have unintended consequences.

Elyn Arabia is an aging popstar and current fashion icon from extremely humble beginnings. She and her brother grew up together after their father killed their mother and then attempted to kill himself in a failed murder-suicide attempt after years of abuse. Elyn chose a path that would find her fame and fortune hoping to pass along the good life to her brother even after, time and time again, his demons proved to be too deep to save him from.

This is a story of my birthday. No matter what you do, where you find yourself do not forget to say thank you.

This is my Confession

Kate screwed up many years ago and never thought it would come back to get her. She especially didn't think anything of it on her best friend's wedding day. But she didn't realize the consequences for her mistake until it was almost too late. Is there any way for her to fix it in time? This is for the #XOXOConfessions contest going on. Reads and votes are highly appreciated! Thankssss!!!!!

*WINNER of the XOXO Connects flash-fiction contest for a publishing contract with Pocket Books.* What's your deepest, darkest desire? Shelby Weeks is a six out of ten on a good day, but her brains and ambition make up for her woeful lack of allure. Nick Farmer, on the other hand, is a handsome, charismatic man who happens to be her boss. They're also both happily married . . . to other people. Shelby can't help to daydream about her undeniable attraction, but she'll never make a public confession about her feelings. There's really no need. She knows that to keep her idyllic life, all she can do is look, but don't touch. This flash-fiction piece is under 2,000 words and was written for the XOXO Connects contest for the theme "confessions". A huge thank you to everyone who voted between October 19 and 21, 2015 to get this story into the top 5. After the editors read the finalists, this story ended up winning the contest!
