A Book About Quinn
"A Book About Quinn" follows the story of a peculiar protagonist. Quinn, the titular main character, fulfills the role of the Narrator - but this isn't how the story was supposed to go, they're sure of it. Joined by James, Daphne and Alice - all holding secrets of their own - Quinn ventures across worlds to find the answer to that greatest of secrets - who are they, really? Dreams and mirrors become portals to uncharted worlds, full of beauty and danger, and the most wonderous places. And time after time again is the question posed - who is visisting Quinn's dreams? And can they possibly rewrite destiny? --- My lil' novel, very much a WIP.

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.

Waltz of Steam and Magic
In a world where steam and magic intertwine, ancient treaties collapse under the pressure of a new order, and two drastically different civilizations collide, shaking the entire continent. On one side, an advanced industrial civilization fueled by the power of steam and machinery; on the other, an ancient kingdom built upon the magical elements and arcane forces of old. As these forces clash, the entire continent is thrown into unprecedented chaos, signaling a transformative era that no one is prepared for. At the heart of this upheaval is a war without smoke, a battle between technology and magic. With the rise of the Steam Revolution, mechanical technology and strange magic intertwine, showcasing endless possibilities. From the blazing heat of bullets to the cold shield of ice, from the precise firing of mechanical arms to the stunning force of magical chants, every moment of battle crackles with tension and energy. This is not just a clash of steel and elements; it is a struggle of intelligence and willpower, where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Amid this turmoil, a young prince emerges from his homeland's palace, stepping onto a path destined to change the course of history. He is a brave and determined youth, burdened with the weight of his father's legacy and the responsibility to restore his kingdom, which faces both external invasion and internal strife. With his sword in hand and his father's expectations on his shoulders, he embarks on a quest to find answers and uncover the mysteries that lie ahead. However, the war in this world is far more complicated than it appears. The line between magic and machinery, between magic-wielders and engineers, between flying ships and steam-powered trains, is increasingly blurred. In the borderlands far from his kingdom, peaceful villages are destroyed by mechanical beasts, and ancient forests are disturbed by mysterious magical surges.
