Picking Up The Pieces
Hey guys! This book has been officially published on Amazon. It's available as an ebook or a paperback. The version available on Amazon has been edited and I even changed some of the plot. I'd love it if you went to check it out and maybe even bought it. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BF333KWH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=) Love, Sophia *** "I-" I try to say something, anything, but the words get stuck in my throat when Jonas suddenly grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls me awfully close to his face. "Shut it!" Chills shoot down my spine as if someone just dumped a bucket of ice water down the back of my shirt. What is he doing? I know he can get angry sometimes, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me in public, would he? I wait and wait for him to do something, but he does nothing because we get interrupted by a loud voice that sounds through the quiet of the night. "Hey!" I dare to open my eyes a little to see where it's coming from. A tall blond guy, carrying grocery bags is standing a couple yards away. "Yes, I'm talking to you! Step away from the girl right now!" *** The story of two broken souls- Madeleine Evans, a college student in an abusive relationship, and Elias Sanders, a soldier suffering from PTSD- trying to pick up their own and each other's pieces. Warning: Mature content! (Violence, strong language, sexual assault, substance abuse...)Complete
Machinarum Magnum Bellum
My darkest novel yet... "The clock ticks, time stops. And then..." This novel takes a deep dive into what the world would have been like if the (now switched) sides of the Great War-Germany, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, and Austria-Hungary-had fought the now central powers such as the United States, Great Britain, Imperial Russia, France, Italy, and Japan. As the battles hit hard and heavy, major casualties were reported in mass amounts, disease ran rampant across the trench country, and psychological and biological warfare was implemented. Adieu. UPDATE #01/1/2025: Published new chapters, book is complete yet chapters are to be published periodically. Chapter 4-5 needs revision still.

it's been 2 years since the battle of dunkirk. tommy is still traumatized by the terrors of being a soldier in that horrible time. he fears he will never get over the trauma he experienced. will somebody come along the way to dull his pain or will they leave him helpless? ~~~~ warning: this story may move a bit too fast for your liking, but i'm planning on making the story short, about 30 chapters. enjoy the book. i also wrote this book at 14, so i apologize in advance if anything in the book seems grammatically/logically incorrect. - got in #1 ranking for the fionnwhitehead tag.Complete

The Shot was Fired
A group of friends deal with life in the trenches along the Western front. Young German soldiers sent to fight a war they were told would be over by Christmas, soon realize that they aren't going anywhere. I did as best research as I could at the time, I'm sure it is not 100% accurate. This was written several months ago based on a story I wrote in middle school. I decided to I wanted to post this somewhere just in case someone else found it, maybe I can get some feedback. I know it is far from perfect and I have thought about going back and reworking it but just have not gotten around to it.Complete
