***UPDATE: I am super excited to announce that Tattered Gray is available on Amazon in paperback and Ebook! It's free with Kindle Unlimited. Reviews would be much appreciated. https://t.co/hi0M0qHCmE

 I will leave the first six chapters of the book here on Wattpad for users to enjoy, errors and all (I'm trying not to cringe), as I'm doing final edits. Once available, I will post the link for purchase here. Thank you all so, SO much for reading this story and providing me with invaluable feedback.

It is 1864, and the War Between the States has brought combat to Desoto Parish, Louisiana. Seventeen-year-old farmer's daughter Luciana Lanton must try to find her father-or what is left of him-after the Battle of Mansfield. Instead of her father, she discovers a young Confederate soldier, Henry Asher, lost and forgotten after having been severely wounded in battle. Determined to not see another man die, she does her best to nurse the soldier back to health. It isn't long before she finds herself enamored by his winsome heart and controversial thinking, spiting society's definition of an ideal match. To complicate matters further, her mother insists that she instead be receptive to the attention of Beauregard Dozier, an unexpected but wealthy suitor with a questionable past, so as to ensure there is food on the family table. With her family's wellbeing at stake, will Lucy abide by sensibility or recklessly succumb to her heart's wishes, and will Beau's history intertwine with her future?
Inspired by civilian accounts of the Red River Campaign, Tattered Gray is a story of the devastating ramifications of war, life in a society both prejudiced and volatile, and the chance at an extraordinary love in spite of it all.Todos los derechos reservados

Nothing is Fair in Love and War ✓ de lit_addict

[COMPLETED] Katherine always had shoes to fill. As the eldest child at the ripe old age of seventeen, she was expected to marry young, marry well, and be a respectable housewife in 1862. However, to her little sister's chagrin, she's much more interested in a good book than a man. That is until she meets Sam. Dark, brooding, and distant, he's a book character in himself. A legend everyone warns her to stay away from. The only catch: how can she know to stay away from him if no one has seen him in years? When no one knows what he looks like now? When the two meet for the first time, she doesn't know who he is until she's already fascinated by him. Could he be different from what everyone says? But even her friend James, "Red", warns her against Sam. Red, who she's grown up with by her side their entire lives. Red, who she tells everything. Red, her best friend. Red who may have deeper feelings for her than she realizes. But when Katherine sets her heart on something, she will go to all lengths to get what she wants. *** started on July 3, 2018 finished on July 15, 2018 cover photo ©DeviantArt

What Might Have Been (A Songs of War Fanfiction) de Writer_Phoenix

Let me know if you have stumbled across this book on another website so I may warn others and stay alert of potential malware found on these mock sites. ******** "At first glance, there seems to be peace in Ardonia... but looks can be deceptive. Evils are stirring... " This is a Songs of War fanfiction that I have been working on for ages. It's chaotic as Nether, I'll just warn you now. I have some amazing readers, crazy chapters and an evil plotline. ******** Senn never wanted the war. All he wanted was to live a peaceful life. Ria never wanted to fight. All she wanted was to be with her family. Abbigail never wanted the pain. All she wanted was happiness... somehow. Lucan never wanted to be a criminal. All he wanted was to be with the girl he loved. But sometimes fate has different plans, and what might have been often feels like a distant, fictional paradise. A vision is seen, a prophecy is written, and suddenly their destiny is decided for them. It is almost completely out of their control. Sometimes, they don't have any choice but to fight. ******** Rated mature because of fight scenes and descriptions of blood.

The Jack of Souls (Multi-award winner!) de StephenMerlino

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

The Forgotten Ones (A Completed Steamy, Historical Romance) de gracemadden1234

We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.

Colorblind de Kanyonbelldempsey

PART ONE: In the heart of the segregated 1900s, a white couple defies society's expectations by adopting two Black boys. Despite their love for each other, tragedy strikes in the form of a devastating car accident-one that alters their reality forever. PART TWO: (Purgatory) Caught in the space between life and death, each family member must navigate a nightmarish landscape filled with terrifying creatures and twisted trials. Their only hope of peace is to reunite and overcome the darkness together. Author's Message The color of our skin should never decide the weight of our worth. Beneath it all, we share the same pulse - one rhythm, one heart, one fragile, beautiful humanity. In a world painted with differences, kindness is the only language that never needs translation. We are all just souls trying to find peace, trying to love, trying to live. I began writing this because the word racism has always struck me like a wound - sharp, heavy, and undeserved. It's a word that carries too much pain for its size. It divides where there should be unity, it hurts where there should be healing. No one should ever feel less than human because of the shade of their skin. My grandmother taught me that love sees beyond color. She never measured people by appearance - only by their hearts. Every child, every adult, she treated with the same warmth, the same respect, the same unwavering truth. From her, I learned that real strength is gentle, and real justice begins with compassion. So I write for her. I write for those who were silenced, for those who have been seen only through the world's narrow lens. I write because love deserves louder voices than hate. And I hope that somewhere within these words, you remember what she taught me - that the heart knows no color, and humanity was never meant to be divided.

(Book 1) - Phoenix Blood: de TehlaBowin

The air has been filled with blood and war is on the point of breaking out. Family feuds have found themselves renewed and banished enemies prepare to take their vengeance from the shadows. Current leaders grow tired of their thrones and the time approaches for them to choice their successors. An ancient bloodline of guardians uneasily wait for the successors to be chosen with baited breath. A young woman by the name of Taylor has been dragged from her ordinary life into a world that is just beneath the surface of the one she knows. Her body and mind having been physically altered bring forth new challenges for her to get through. Many questions remain. Will she survive the family feud she's been drawn into or will it consume her leaving nothing of her left? Will she find herself fixing a family that has been broken way before she was even born? Will her newly required thirst for blood devour the kind soul she has always been? Will she gain new friends on her way to control the abilities she has aquired from her transformation? Will she ever see her family again? Could she possibly find a love along the way that could heal her shattered heart making her stronger than she ever thought it possible for her to be? This book has been my pet project for years and I will not appreciate it if anyone trys stealing my work considering how I have all of the rough drafts written down on paper. I would be very angry in fact. Any drawings that might be shown will be mine. The book title came together with the help of my older brother who is quite good with titles while I am not great at figuring out book titles but am good at writing stories and chapter titles. The book title may be added on to in the future but only time will determine that. This is the first book of the series. Once again I would like to remind everyone the story is ALL MINE. To all my devoted readers it is my hope that all of you will enjoy my story.

I am posting the first four chapters of my book The Girls of Charity here on Wattpad. The full book can be purchased online. I always make sure to disclose that even though I work long and hard hours on all my books that they are by no means perfect. There are mistakes from grammar and punctuations. The Girls of Charity is my first self-published book and when I wrote it, I didn't have a great program on my laptop to help me make corrections as best as I possibly could. However, this version, I am pretty sure, is the revised edition I had resubmitted last summer but however more-than-likely might have mistakes also. I apologize in advance if you feel you have wasted your time and or money on my works. Thanks

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy) de chlo_dance

As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.

As Long As She Lives (full published version!) de DarcyConroy

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

Trusting Grace de ilovefelix217

"I've been burned once, who is to say it will not happen again" I spoke quietly watching her closely. Grace confused me like no other she wormed her way into my heart with her easy-going smiles, kind nature, and gentle heart. Feeling her small hands hold my large ones I glance down into her green eyes "You need to trust that I am not Mia have I not proven to you Cassian, I am here to stay you fit with me" she said in a gentle yet firm tone. The smile she sent me held love, comfort and that was all it took after months of breaking down the walls I decided to take a leap of faith. *********************************************** Cassian Grey had been burned once and that was enough for him after sharing a business deal with his four other brothers they opened up The Grey Gull on the coast of Cornwall, England. A fresh start is what these guys needed and a fresh start is what they will get. Grace Bauer is an art historian with her own little gallery where she brings long-forgotten pieces of beauty back to life. She too had been burned so when she hears of this bar and grill opening up she knows her friends are just dying to try it out. What both of these souls don't realize is that once thrown in each other's paths they soon realize that maybe just maybe they are what the other half needs in one another. It may take a little more convincing on Cassian's part but can he take that leap of faith and trust Grace. All rights are reserved names of places mentioned in this book are all real places however the story line and names of the characters are all from my own ideas. Please do not copy my story under any given circumstances as I do not want to have to take legal action but I will if required.
