"For an Adventure"; those are the words engraved on the cover of Fox Berger's diary. Ten years have passed since she was given the diary, and it remains practically empty. After all, there is not much adventure in Greentown, a small, quiet farming town where no one comes, and no one leaves. In fact, the only interesting thing about it is the Life Stone, a powerful stone that is the source of its prosperity and life. One day, the town's peace is finally broken when a group of masked men arrive with a flash of light; Zan's Marauders. They steal the Life Stone and kidnap all the men. With the survival of the town looking bleak and little hope for the return of what was taken, Fox decides to set off on an adventure to save her people.

Early on into her journey,  warm, optimistic Fox meets cold,  cynical Adrien Flèche, a young archer with a tragic past and a vengeful heart. Two motives, one goal: to find Zan's Marauders. Soon after they team-up, they learn that there are five other "Power Stones", each with its own unique ability and just as immensely powerful. With two stones already in their possession, Zan's Marauders will cause as much misery and pain as they can in order to acquire the remaining stones, and throw the whole world into chaos. Fox and Adrien hop from town to town in a desperate race to reach the Power Stones before their enemies do.

Throughout the story, Fox finally has a chance to fill her diary with her thoughts and recounts of events she thought she would never see. Although she sees some wonders, she encounters many more horrors. In the face of war, inequity, and a world she never knew, Fox's strength and values are tested as she struggles to grasp the true meaning of an adventure. Will the duo's determination and efforts be enough to best their enemies? Or will Zan's Marauders achieve their ambition and control the towns with an oppressive rule?

"In the Moonlight" is the first book in "The Diary of a Fox" trilogy.

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi. Highest ranking: #66 in Fantasy 2/3/2018 Hi everyone! Thanks a ton for taking the time to read Paragon. I'm so excited to share it with you, and to hear your feedback, theories, and insight.

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

The original group is back... that's right, it's the sequel to Bedburg Hills. If you haven't read it yet, I advise doing so! More things will make sense in this story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New beginnings can be scary for some, the thought of changing itself is enough to send chills down the spines of others. When Kira and the others are forced to embrace change, they're also forced to embrace all the challenges that come with it; from finding love to fighting for their lives, from having babies to raising beautiful teenagers on a mission. When they're met with their biggest and most feared opponent yet, what will they do? Will they fight and take the stone they so badly need or will they be forced to surrender and possibly put their kind on the line? Will the children they raised with love and compassion, so differently than how they were brought up, be able to fight the demons that being supernatural will bring on? When new members are brought forth and asked to join will they come willingly or will a fight break out? There are so many crazy stories within one to be read. Join Kira & Jace, Justin & Esme, Kai & Rowan and their family as they set out on new paths to take the stones they so badly need to survive. The three stones are a lifeline, a lifeline that's in danger and a lifeline that many seek to destroy. Kira and the others are frantic to find them, collect them and bring peace to the supernatural world before the wrong hands take it and end their lives and all prior descendants, forever.

Old feuds, new worlds, and a love that will last a lifetime... Ever since her dad mysteriously abandoned her family, life on the Clifton Estate hasn't been all that exciting for 16-year-old Marla True. Her Mum constantly works to make ends meet, which means Marla has to put up with gossipy old Bev keeping an eye on her and noisy little half-sister Ribbon. If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime. Bridget has sent them back in time, all the way to World War Two, throwing them into a secret fight for the survival of all magical folk in the world. Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart. Seriously check his stuff out. I'm in love with that imagination.***
