The island of Dorchester is a scientific anomaly, a chasm in space and time, and the grand secret that lurks within its centre could affect the very thread that holds the past, present and future in equilibrium.
When Blakely, a field doctor, is tasked with the important mission of unleashing a virulent plague on the inhabitants of the backwards 19th-century island, just about everything that could go wrong does. Soon he's hunted by warlocks with bushy moustaches, witches with murderous powder, and bog bandits with a penchant for human flesh. With the help of his partner, Abis, a sailor boy named Dicky and a frazzled inventor named Vera, Blakely must seek to vanquish the chaos that could destroy time as they know it, and the very conflicts that ail his mind.

The Plague Doctor's Daughter
[2021 WATTYS Winner] Giovanna joins a handsome nobleman to save a friend from an arranged marriage, but they discover a plot that may have victims of Venice's Black Death rising from their graves. * * * As a child, Giovanna Visconti learned the arts of bloodletting and elixir brewing from her father with an intent to simply support his work, not take it over. But when he falls ill from the pestilence that's been ravaging Venice for months, she reluctantly dons the beaked mask of the plague doctor. Vowing to protect her father however she can, Giovanna hides him away and sees her first patient--the handsome, but alarmingly feverish Matteo Barozzi. Although she successfully treats this son of a high-ranking official, in a careless moment Giovanna fails to properly conceal her identity. The only reason she isn't tossed into a dank jail cell is thanks to the young man's honor and feelings of indebtedness. The association between the charming aristocrat and the clever commoner should end there, but when Giovanna's dearest friend goes missing right after her betrothal to the Doge's son and amid strange reports of nighttime attacks, violent commotions, and inexplicable behaviors in the community, the only person Giovanna can turn to for help is Matteo. Together, they must carefully navigate Venice's increasingly deadly canals to uncover a sect peddling false cures and a smuggling plot involving the highest levels of government or risk the entire Republic falling victim to something even worse than the plague: the risen dead.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Complete
Nova Veil: The Other Side of the Coin
In the year 2145, Earth is split-literally. One side remains bright, modern, deceptively safe. The other, known as The Gray World, is a war-torn wasteland crawling with horrors called the Skuldrith, birthed by the vengeful Velrax the Ash King, God of Death and Destruction. Once every ten years, 10,000 souls are chosen by Kaelira, the Goddess of Life, War, and Fire, to join the frontline defense under a powerful secret organization: Nova Veil. When 12-year-old Owen Cross, a boy overflowing with fire, justice, and spunk, wakes up in the darker half of the world, he learns he's been chosen. But being young, he's pushed to the end of the line, forced to watch as the others undergo transformation through a powerful serum-orange for males, purple for females-that enhances strength, speed, and endurance. Each participant is bonded for life with their partner through the Soul Link, sharing life, death... and sometimes love. Owen is left behind. His only companion: Dr. Evan Thorne, a brilliant, kind-hearted 26-year-old scientist and the youngest member of Nova Veil's research team. As others charge off to war, the two grow close-sharing stories, plans, and hope. When Owen stumbles upon a forgotten vial of the female serum, a wild idea takes shape: what if he took it? What if they did? Against all protocol, the two enter the chamber. When the smoke clears, Owen Cross is gone-and Riley Cross is born. Both Riley and Dr. Thorne-now reborn as Dr. Daphne Thorne-must navigate their new identities, their deepening bond, and a world that may never accept what they've become. As the war escalates and leadership falls, Riley steps into a role no one expected: commander, leader, symbol of hope.Complete

My Bad Boy Doctor
WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SEPTEMBER 2021 EXCLUSIVE CHAPTERS AND WRITER'S REVEAL CONTENT AVAILABLE - NOT A PAID STORY Appearances can be deceiving. What if the Bad Boy wasn't so bad and the good girl wasn't quite so good? Kelly Wankum has an unfortunate last name and even worse luck. By the tender age of twenty-three, she's broken her tailbone, thumb, her nose, hip, and now her rib. It wouldn't be so bad if she could say something funny like, "I broke myself on a stripper pole" or "I was mugged in a Walmart parking lot." That would actually be believable, right? Instead, she breaks her rib reaching for a ball of yarn. Even worse, everyone knows she's so accident prone, she could sneeze and lose a tooth. They'd probably bet on her swallowing it in a pancake. Oh wait, she's done that too. Another trip to the Urgent Care has the doctors shaking their heads, offering to pray for her health while new, sexy Doctor Blake Cole immediately gets off on the wrong foot. Months after their first encounter, Blake and Kelly meet again by chance. After inadvertantly humiliating her, Blake tries to set things straight and make it up to her. The problem is, Blake's lifestyle is painfully different, and Kelly can't help imagining him like every bad boy she's ever read about online. Can Blake convince her to give him a chance and prove he's actually a good guy? **This story is set in the present and the pandemic is part of the narrative.** --Cover by AnnieRosebud-- ©2020, 2022Complete![A Dark Fall [ORIGINAL & UNEDITED VERSION]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/42685499-256-k539902.jpg)
