[Publishing Updates Only] It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a... dragon?
When scientists brought everyone's favorite fairytale creature to life, people flocked to see them, including Zelda Rissland and her little brother Amory. Little did they know, the scientists had created more than just dragons--they created a deadly parasite.
 
Wyrmrot is what they later called it. First, it ate your brain, and then it made you eat other people's brains. 

Zelda's brother is now one of the Rotters, and the only person from her former life she has left is Cooper Marotta, her childhood friend turned boyfriend. Together they have managed to carve out a safe place for themselves in a world turned upside down, but their little survivor group is rapidly running out of food. It is only a matter of time before they start turning on each other. 

When mysterious coordinates appear on a construction sign, Zelda knows there is only one thing to do.

Follow them.

Described as Jurassic Park meets Resident Evil, this is an upper Young Adult Science Fiction novel told in dual timelines. There will be plenty of action and adventure with a dash of romance.

Dark Places by JonEvans
27 parts Complete
An acclaimed, award-winning thriller, published and translated around the world, now freely available on Wattpad. Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away. The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know. Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable... Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Reviews "You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... A pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times "Anyone would enjoy Evans' clever, relentlessly absorbing debut thriller that becomes a lot more than just another serial-killer mystery." - The Ottawa Citizen "In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure across five continents ... (a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly

Crossbones is now published as a Wattpad Book! As a Wattpad reader, you can access both the Original Edition and Books Edition upon purchase. When the Pirate King dies without an heir, three teens join a deadly treasure hunt to compete for the island throne. ***** Seventeen-year-old Csilla yearns to prove her strength to the seasoned pirates who underestimate her. Kane, the descendant of a long line of pirate captains, is ready to prove he doesn't need dirty gold or shady deals to live up to his name. And Lorelei is out for revenge, unaware of the secrets of her past and the target on her back. With the king's death, the Trials begin-a bloody treasure hunt where the winner takes the throne. They each have a reason to fight for the coveted Bone Crown, but there are dark tides ahead. Facing battles at sea, a vengeful land god, and dirty deals made amidst a deadly treasure hunt, Csilla, Kane, and Lorelei must remember the most important rule of all-never trust a pirate.
