Discovering Shadows (Completed)
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?Complete

Two Worlds, Book 1
🏆Amby Awards Round 2 Qualifier 2025🏆 🏆NanoWatts Sci-fi Winner 2025🏆 📣Watthubcommunity Recommended📣 The end of the world didn't happen overnight; It happened quietly, and no one could've stopped it. Heartfelt, Massachusetts, was once a loving place filled with lovely people. But that all changed when The Veil broke out. For a group of college students, the once bustling halls of Heartfelt College became a fortress and a prison. The story of Two Worlds, Book 1 runs through the Found Family in a Post Apocalyptic scene. It is the first instalment of an ongoing series. Two Worlds does not start like the traditional way of any zombie apocalypse story where you're hit directly into the thick of things. You'd instead get to see how the world actually changes before, during, and after. This story is not just about survival, it's about holding onto what makes them human in a world that has lost all semblance of normality. But as their world narrows and the threat closes in, the question remains: How long can they endure?

The Pros & Cons of Becoming a Superhero
There's a new superhero on the scene! Blue Lightning can manipulate electricity, run extremely fast, and even fly, but no one has heard of her. That's because her creator, aspiring artist Bex Daltry, only has a handful of followers of their webcomic. When Bex meets a professional comic book illustrator at a Fan Convention, it could be their big break. But Bex hasn't shared their work-or other facets of who they are-with many people, even their own father. Umie Nakayama runs a popular video channel where she compiles lists of pros and cons on a variety of topics such as music, movies, and fashion tips. Despite having thousands of viewers, she can't seem to please her parents, who constantly compare her to her older brother, even while he's away at college. When a thunderstorm infuses Umie with the superpowers of Bex's character, how will their relationship adapt to the new power dynamic? After all, Bex brought Blue Lightning into existence, while Umie is hardly a fan of the superhero genre. Can Umie learn how to control her new abilities and use them for good? Will Bex be satisfied being only a mentor or sidekick? Most importantly, can Bex and Umie maintain Blue Lightning's secret as they contend with their own identities? - - - - - Copyright © 2024 by Tara St. Pierre All rights reserved.
