Arnesto Modesto: The World's Most Ineffectual Time Traveler

This story is a full-length novel on Amazon (and elsewhere) and is currently (12/12/2018) a #1 best-seller in Time Travel Fiction in Australia. Though I'm unlikely to make big changes at this point, comments are always welcome and typos almost certainly squashed. Now the REAL description:
What if you could go back and do it all over again?
By sending his memories back in time, Arnesto Modesto gives himself a do-over. Of course, his much younger self may not be prepared to handle all that foreknowledge...
Encouraged by his friend Pete, Arnesto attempts to use his limited recall to do some good - and winds up stumbling through some of the biggest events of the past quarter-century.
Take it from Arnesto: Life isn't easier the second time around. (Think Groundhog Day if the main character went much farther back and only got to repeat his life ONCE.)
For anyone who has ever wondered, "What if?"

Sort of Deadly
*Sequel to 'Sort Of Dead'* *Kindly read the previous installment beforehand* ~ "You know the feeling when you see a glass jar filled with perfectly round, colorful marbles, and you just want to put one - or two, or three - in your mouth, even though you know it's dangerous and can kill you? Right. Hold that thought. We'll come back to it." _______________________________________ Not all dreams terminate when you wake up. Some last longer. And some can take over your reality.

OverTime 03: Slipping (First 70 Chapters)
"And they lived happily ever--uh oh." Time traveler Elizabeth, aka "Lillabit," hardly expects miracles from her 19th-century marriage. But abandoning her modern world for love of an 1870s trail boss is hard enough without stampedes. And storms. And Indians.. And bounty hunters. Is the struggle to adapt worth it if she loses herself en route to Wyoming? Or will that prankster, Time, rob Lillabit of home and family forever? NOTES: I chose "mature" because there may be 1 or 2 love scenes over the very long book, but this is not erotica. Sorry if I misled anybody. You should be able to read "OverTime 03: Slipping" as a stand-alone work. However, if you seriously want to read the first two books in the series ("OverTime 01: Searching" and "OverTime 02: Turning"), they are available for purchase on Amazon Kindle by Yvonne Jocks. Be aware that you do not get Garrison's point of view in the first two books.Complete
How We Met
This story is a sequel to The Night That Changed My Life. Please read that first. WARNING: this story includes character death, grief, mentions of self harm, and abusive parents. If any of this bothers you, feel free to click off. "Hello? Is this thing on?" I tapped the microphone a bit before smiling as it turned on. "Alright, hi. My name is Joel Beans; yes I know that is a weird last name, but it is what it is. I am here to tell you about my life. Some of you may have heard the big part of it, which is my husband Etho dying in a car crash only four days after our wedding. But there's a lot more to it." I started to pace around the stage a bit, holding the microphone firmly in my right hand. "There's a lot more to how we met and how our lives were. About my past, about his past...about our past. It's not all happy, and believe me when I tell you that there are some things I wish never happened, but as I said before...it is what it is." I sighed and looked down before whispering in a soft voice, "And there's nothing you can do to change that." ~•~ This story, as said above, is a sequel to The Night That Changed My Life and talks about how Joel and Etho met. This isn't an incredibly happy story. There's going to be a lot of angst, and some fluff (but not much) If you would prefer to steer away from angsty hell, I understand and hope to see you in my other stories. But if you wish to stick around, I hope you enjoy the ride :) (Cover art is not mine). This work belongs to me, @Seth189. I reserve the rights to this work and please do not repost it. It takes me a long time to come up with this stuff and it would be better to write your own work!!Complete
Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!! Some chapters contain sexual scenes, but there's always a warning at the head of the chapter. Do not read them if you're under 18.** * Also, please beware that this story contains a lot of swearing.

Months later, I run into my boss--in the dark--on masquerade night at a sex club. Let's just say we had an interesting moment. After that I wanted to kill him more than I already wanted to. Weeks later. I had the shock of my life when we met face to face at my best friends wedding. Callum's a one-and-done type of guy. And I wasn't looking for love either.

Going To Williamsport
What would you do if you were the 12 year-old new ace pitcher of a very small town American baseball team, you and your teammates go on in one magical year to represent your roots at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and you were much too embarrassed beyond mere words to see your own mother cheer you on as you take the big stage hundreds of miles away? This is Sooner's situation, and his story for the ages is Going to Williamsport, as he faces a mother suffering through acute paranoid psychosis, or just simply really crazy things, in the early years of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill during the Eisenhower administration. As the awkward moments pile up, the dirty looks and misunderstandings multiply in town, and the psychotropic drugs and Demedication sessions gather endlessly without the option to "just put her away" anymore, the only child Sooner only sees his own embarrassment and severe contempt for a Semper Fi father who will not deny his marriage vows, nor his unbelievable love for his own son. Going to Williamsport matters more than anything to Sooner, but definitely not at the expense of seeing "her" in those stands. In his own very young words, he takes as much as he possibly can, and then makes incredibly clear in the clearest of places that he alone, with his team is going to Williamsport, and Dad isn't and certainly Mom isn't, either. Sooner's story plays out as a kid farther away from the far western Oklahoma Panhandle than he's ever been. Sooner rather than later, his decision to be separate and apart from Mom and Dad is rewarded in surprising ways, but to everyone's surprise, Sooner understands very quickly how his family coin truly has two sides that look surprisingly alike.Complete
