The punishment is death from hanging. How will Corrie get out of this one?
Corrie Harriman's dream of being in the navy turns into a nightmare where she and her brother must fight for survival from her superior officers in PRESS GANG!

Gilded Horizons
In Southampton, on June 14, 1911, 18-year-old Valerie Cortez, a beautiful and conflicted young woman, boards the RMS Olympic for its maiden voyage. Accompanied by her mother, Victoria, her envious younger sister, Vivian, and her controlling fiancé, Charles Blackwood, Valerie is set to marry Charles in New York, a union designed to restore her family's fading fortune. However, as the ship sails across the Atlantic, Valerie's life begins to unravel. Amidst the growing tension that arises, Valerie meets a mysterious stranger aboard the ship-a man who sees through the gilded façade of her life and offers her a glimpse of a different future, one free from societal constraints. Will Valerie escape the gilded cage of her life, or will she be lost beneath the waves of societal constraints? 📣📣📣This is my first story! It is based on the sister ship of the Titanic: the RMS Olympic. This story is inspired by the fictional story of Rose and Jack, although the characters are not the same. I created the book cover, and the images/art posted in the media. I received assistance from AI using Open Art and Canva. This work is my own therefore plagiarism is not allowed, nor will it be tolerated. Lastly, my vision is to create the tone of the early 1900s but have a modern twist to it. Similar to the hit Netflix show: Bridgerton. Enjoy! 📣📣📣

1670, Caribbean Sea. She's the daughter of a legendary pirate. He's a Spanish captain. Their countries are at war. Their fathers killed each other. And they were destined to follow on their steps.

And a different look at the challenge of being a woman in a world ruled by men with an iron fist. At age fifteen, all Marina dreams of is sailing, but women are banned from the ships berthing in Tortuga. And when she finally makes it, her ship is attacked by the champion of the Spanish Armada, a young captain fighting pirates to avenge his father. That battle pushes Marina back to the sea, yearning to take it back on the young captain, who turns out to be no other than the son of her father's sworn enemy.

Wildflowers In The Ruins: A 1917 Story
Completed fan fiction for the film 1917: This is the very first fan fiction I've ever attempted. Please be kind. I hope you like it. It features all of the main characters, several of the others, plus many I've created. Northern France, April 1917: A Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse is sent on an urgent mission across no-man's land accompanying two Lance Corporals, but she will have her own mission to fullfil also and be tested in ways she never deemed possible. Each chapter is named after a flower, relevant to the story, and that you can encounter growing in the wild, either in Britain or Northern France, with the exception of roses and Sweet William's. This story does contain spoilers from the film so it's really worth watching it first. Chapers two (from around halfway through) to eight I've taken directly from the film. The script is copyrighted to Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, although I've worked from what's spoken in the film rather than off the script. I've taken inspiration from other films, television and books (fiction and non-fiction) set in the First World War too such as Forgotten Voices, The Roses Of No-Man's Land, War Horse, The Crimson Field, Private Peaceful, They Shall Not Grow Old, Testament Of Youth, Journey's End and Birdsong. I've also taken inspiration from the beautiful book A Song For Will which is based on the true story of the gardeners and labourers from the Heligan Estate in Cornwall. Every character who isn't featured in the film 1917 is fictitious and the names are entirely made-up, although every female character's Christian name in my story belongs to a female relative of mine who was alive at the time of the First World War, for example my four Great-grandmothers were Mary-Jane, Lavinia, Ada and Alice. The other names were from my Great and Great-Great-Aunts. Enjoy. ❤ 🌺 ☘ 🌻 💖 🍂 🌿 🌼 💗 🌲 🌸 🍃 💕 🌹 🌱 ⚘💝 🌳 🏵 💮 💌 🌾 💐 🍁 💞 🍀Abgeschlossene Geschichte
