"Want to know the best tool to fulfill your dream? It's sleep."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fresh graduate Edgar is striving to become a successful writer. It has always been his dream since he was a kid, and now he's willing to risk everything in order to pursue it. But there's just one major problem: he can't seem to find any idea worthy enough to be turned into a ground-breaking novel.
Feeling hopeless and devastated, Edgar decided to use his coworker's suggestion, and that is to make use of his lucid dreaming experience in order to give him worthy ideas and help him beat his writer's block.

Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories.

The Turing Test - [Open Novella Contest 2019 Shortlist]
Ronnie Gold only has one dream. Every night for the past two years, flickering images of a bloody battlefield have haunted her sleep, and every night, she's the only survivor. She's never told anyone about it, because combined with the dissociative emotional disorder that renders empathy out of her reach, she'd be labeled dangerous. But amid rising public tensions over an artificial intelligence project she's spearheading, Ronnie's dreams begin to infect her waking life, too. With the visions starting to take on an ominous, almost prophetic quality, Ronnie must sort through the blurred lines of reality before the bloodiest nightmare finally comes true. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ #RedefineHumanity - An Open Novella Contest Shortlister!

When The Ex Meets
"Exes are meant to stay in the past." "They are meant to be 'forgotten'." Then why am I keep getting dragged towards him, again and again. Why doesn't he just let me go! "My little Moon." "Why do you call me 'Moon'?" My eyes involuntarily made their way towards his figure. As much as I didn't want to fall for him, I knew well how hard it was for me to resist him. © Swantae_Debson Highest ranking: #10 breakup (on 12 Jan 2019) and #7 ex (on 2 Nov 2018) ------------------------- {This is my first ever book on Wattpad, and all I can say is that this book does gets better as the story progresses.

My Alpha Mate (Completed)
Best ratings: #1 in #ya, #sexscenes and #mates, #4 in #romance - - - - - PLOT: LILA KING is somewhat notorious in her old wolfpack - as a child she led a rebel crew of delinquents who caused havoc in the reserve and fought vampires. She was one of the best fighters in the pack, but following her best friend's death at 18 she left the pack to live with humans. For her 25th birthday, she finally returns, but only to introduce her werewolf family to a human fiance. What no one expects, though, is that at the party her family throws...she will encounter her destined mate. He is no other than DARIUS CARTER - the new alpha of the biggest wolf-pack in the region, holding a bad rep for killing the former alpha to assume his righteous position. But there is much more to him than just a pretty face and a fabulous six-pack... Can Lila fight destiny? Does she even want to? And why are those vampires starting to appear again with her return? ---EXCERPT: I hear people saying my name through the muffled sounds of my heartbeat banging in my ears. Then suddenly everyone in the room disappears and there are no voices. The only sound is that of his footsteps and the only scent is the most beautiful, sensual, masculine smell I have ever felt. Darius approaches me slowly at two feet away but doesn't stop. As everything seems slow-motioned, I try to step back to avoid a collision, but my feet won't listen. Instead, I take a step forward and we meet at only an inch apart. He looks at me so intensely, so passionately, that I feel devoured. Then he speaks. "Hello, mate." ____________ previous name: *ALPHA CARTER*Complete
Lucid
When a disillusioned young man meets a stranger in his dreams, he discovers that the world behind sleep is real - and dangerous. A man who lives in self-dejection and daydreams of the grandeur of being a successful writer, Bartholomew struggles with self-acceptance and all the pangs of existence. One night, his consciousness descends into the dreamworld, allowing him to experience his dreams as one would in reality. But when Inoue, a fellow Dreamshaper, explains his latent abilities, he finds out about the wildness the unconscious world holds and its mental and metaphysical effects. Inoue spontaneously decides to mentor him, introducing him to Mind Eaters - creatures born from the amalgamation of repressed trauma, encompassing stress and griping depression - and the community that exists for their kind. During this, their relationship blooms and they develop romantic feelings for one another. With his newfound powers and friends, Bartholomew slowly finds the strength and drive to come out of his shell and progress his writing journey - but this is derailed when he encounters a Dreamshaper who uses his abilities to cause harm, as well as old acquaintances that were splinters of pain he hadn't been able to remove. Bartholomew must prevail over cynicism and be bold enough to face his inner monsters before they consume him.Complete
The Wolven King {18+} (Sample)
[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.
