***2nd in Action/Adventure in the Blossom Awards!***

The year is 1126. The place, England.

Rowen never really knew who her parents were. All she knew was that someone had left her on the steps of Great Hall; the spies' headquarters in England.  Since she had been left there it seemed fitting that she should train there. So she became the first female spy. The years went by but not without their share of trouble. Then disaster happens and it is up to Rowen to face her past and to fix the problems. An army is forming, a man's life hangs in the balance and time is ticking down.

While I wouldn't call this a historical fiction there are several people in this story who did actually live. For example, King Henry I did really rule during 1126, and his son really did die in a shipwreck.  Brian Boru was an Irish hero who defeated the Vikings at Clontarf. I try to make the real people appear only in name and not actually as a character because I wouldn't want to give you the wrong picture of people who really existed.

I hope you like Rowen's story, if something doesn't seem right don't be shy! Tell me what you think is wrong and I will do my best to fix it! Enjoy!

Somewhere between the two I must have fallen asleep... Warily I took his soft hand and let him pull me up." ********** 14 year old Nina has the perfectly hectic life. School takes up most of it, meaning her priorities and daily routines come first- unfortunately for her non-existent love life. In the middle of Africa this 'outsider' is still getting settled into Malawi. A week of holiday at the lake means an amazingly refreshing 7 days of doing nothing.

It Isn't Easy Being Queen de BrittanieCharmintine

Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

*YES I KNOW JO AND ASH AREN'T RELATED BUT THEY ARE FOR THE SAKE OF THE STORY SO SHUT UP* Mona Harvelle looked to be your average 20 year old girl living in Nebraska with her mother Ellen and 2 older siblings Joanna Beth and Ash Harvelle. Mona is close with her family seeing her family is all she has. Mona is not only the youngest of the Harvelle's but she grew up the most timid and shy seeing as her father passed away soon after she was born, she always felt some kind of void inside of her...some kind of hole in her chest. Her family would tell her stories about how great of a father he was which makes Mona upset because she'll never get to experience that. Due to that and her family business...oh and hunting of course life hasn't been easy for the Harvelle's since they had to move a lot for work. They had told Mona that they're also hunters who hunt monsters, which little Mona didn't believe at first until she's seen a few monsters with her own eyes. Before they had settled in Nebraska working in their Roadhouse, they moved a lot when Mona was young, so when she attended school, she kinda became a target for bullies and nobody knew about it... She didn't want to worry her family due to the hunting they do so she simply lied and said she fell but after that she's been nothing but a klutz ever since, she falls over her own feet, trips over nothing, sometimes she'll break things and hurt herself so her family doesn't really take her seriously these days nor do they know why it upsets her so much... Now being 20 years old and not having to learn anything about hunting or protecting herself, let alone have friends or people to talk to, she's simply stuck in this state of depression where she can't get out of... But what happens when a group of hunters visit and she ends up having the most fun she's had in her entire life? What happens next? Does she fall in love? Does she learn to hunt? Will she lose her family and those she loves?

Here are sample chapters for the paperback version of Luminous: Book One, which will be released on Amazon (via Kindle Direct Publishing) around early October 2024. By purchasing this print version, you will get: - Chapters 0 - 64 of Luminous (Prologue - End of Jaise arc) - Better prose, a few new scenes and dialogue! - Minor plot tweaks, and plot holes filled (all of them, hopefully!) - Two new, never-before-seen illustrations! - A new map of Latakia! (created with Inkarnate) Please note: This paperback version is created by me, me and le me. It has NOT been professionally edited, proofread nor formatted. I am NOT a native English speaker. I do NOT have a degree in Literature nor English. This is my debut novel. I have published NOThing prior to this. This is my life work, my first and possibly my last. I want to give it the best chance of success I can. However, I'm your average corporate grunt who doesn't have 10-grand to spare on a professional illustrator, editor, proofreader, etc. for a vanity indie project. What I do have, nevertheless, is love and effort, with which I have painstakingly fulfilled those roles myself to the best of my ability. This is just for me, and all of you who have been waiting to hold Luminous in your hands in corporeal form. If this book finds success, I may consider releasing a professional version someday. For now, let's just wait and see what the future holds. I'm being 100% honest here, because the last thing I want is for you to part with your (or your parents') hard-earned gold and be disappointed. That would be the most painful thing for me. What you see here is the quality you will get. Please have a look before making your decision! Thank you so much for the past four years of love and support!

Sir Lancelot, his faithful First Knight. Guinevere, Arthur's promised bride. Garreth, her best friend and cousin, the son of Merlin (Myrddin), the great wizard. It sounds just like the Arthurian Legend, doesn't it? But... What if everything happened differently? What if the young Princess Guinevere was not so keen on marrying Prince Arthur, whom she met... when he came for a week-long sightseeing tour to her father's kingdom accompanied by dashing Sir Lancelot? What if she was... dressed as a knight, pretending to be a bodyguard hired for the visitors? And... What if it was 'a she', who was destined to pull the sword from the stone and thus unite the kingdoms? This is my version, a humorous retelling of the famous legend, a medieval fantasy- coming of age- romantic comedy. *This story is purposely historically innacurate, set in some parallel, fantastical Britain that is different from what it had really been in the past, even though I'm using real locations, historically confirmed battles, and the Saxons as enemies of my legendary King Arthur.
