Creator's Note
An introduction to the planet of Cigam, The Forgotten Winter is narrated by a native and told through the journals of a boy from Earth. The first book released from the Sugar City Archives § is also the first part of the trilogy Alba Lands which spans from Cigam to Earth, then beyond. Written mainly in English, some parts are a composition of Scots (mostly Lallans) - a dying, Anglic language of Scotland - constructed with slang, dialects and other forgotten tongues of the land. While understanding the Scots is not inherent to the story a translation link is provided should you require. But if you know as little as Alba then you can experience his plight.
The intended way to read the series is with background musical accompaniment (mostly instrumental: Electronic & Classical). This is not for everyone of course, but if you wish then find the recommended track and link before each chapter (via YouTube). If the exact track is missing you can use something similar. For both musical and visual accompaniment visit Zomgbat.Wordpress.com (Original tracks & artwork to follow)
You may be hitherto thinking that this is not the story or genre for you. If so, remember that so much more is possible than you can't even imagine. For example, there are already more stars in the observable universe than grains of sand on Earth. Or that a certain species of jellyfish is immortal. Our world is so tiny, and there are such powerful things beyond it.

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER!

A Druid's Fate
Ciarán has lived for centuries, originating from a time before pre-Christian Ireland. It was an era when his people lived in harmony with nature rather than conquering it. He fought against the invaders, the kings, the abbots, and the so-called holy men who divided his homeland between the Christians. Their actions destroyed the land and, with it, his very way of life. The druids banded together to defend their way of life and their home, but in the end, it was not enough. How could it be when they were so outnumbered and so many of his fellow druids slaughtered? And so, most of the other druids who survived, flocked to the new villages and new roles, trying to cope with the new reality that Ireland was not what it once was. With a defeated and heavy heart, Ciarán, lived in solitude for centuries and centuries, hunted by the years in his youth before the Christians came and tore down the sacred and ancient forests. Ciarán is one of the few ancient druids remaining, he spends his time in one of the last remaining ancient groves, protecting it and nurturing it. Since that time since the first of those boats landed on Ireland's shore, Ciarán is not the same druid as he was those years ago. For one, he is one of the most powerful, diving into and perfecting all manner of druid magic, light and dark as he never wants to feel as hopeless as he did in his youth. But fate had other plans. See what happens when fate knocks on his door asking for his help.
Alien Prey {M/M/M}
{Book #2 of the Kohai Chronicles} Bennett is in hiding, buried in the cold wilderness outside Yelonder for his safety-but isolation is driving him mad. Separated from his clan, from the only stability he's ever known, he's left with nothing but his own thoughts and the company of Teanu, a young Kohani warrior who's more of an overgrown, well-meaning little brother than a guard. It doesn't help. He misses his nest. He misses them. But when the Dravokar uncover his hiding place, overpowering Teanu and tearing Bennett from the only creatures who have ever claimed him as their own, he realizes too late-Kohani is far more dangerous and unforgiving than he ever imagined from the safety of his little alcove in Yelonder. And worse... he's not the only human here. ••• Ren Solis never expected his deep-space mission to end in disaster. One moment, he was charting unknown territories-then came the wormhole. Now, he's crash-landed on an uncharted, frozen world with no way home and no clue if he's even in the same galaxy. Surviving the cold is one thing. Surviving the creatures that lurk in the snow is another. But when Ren comes face to face with a fierce, enigmatic warrior of the Dravokar, he realizes his fight isn't just for survival-it's for a place in a world that was never meant for him. Stranded, alone, and at the mercy of a species that doesn't trust outsiders, Ren must prove his worth before the wilds of Kóhana swallow him whole. Because these ruthless dragon like creatures are hungry... and if he isn't careful, he won't just be a castaway. He'll be prey.
Shards: Intro- Part 1 (old)
The First in the old Series! As the 21st century continues, Mankind is completely unaware of a whole other world that shares the planet with them. A world deliberately concealed for both of their sakes. A world mankind has forgotten. A world of magic. Citizens of this world are at risk of being discovered every second of every day, as our jets, boats, and even undersea cables run through their lands in the middle of the three major oceans spanning our planet. The only luxury protecting them is their long tradition of remaining forgotten by humans beyond their borders, and their magic making that tradition a reality. But as life goes on for the likes of Atlantean's like Gemini and Paige, a mysterious threat begins to emerge; to Atlantis in particular. A threat that could pose dire consequences for every living being on Planet Earth. This is the Intro and 1st installment for my old Shards Series. I hope you enjoy it! Pls 💬 and ⭐️! DISCLAIMER: This is my Original work. Do not copy it. The entire Shards series belongs to me as well. You are however, free to write any fanfics as long as you mention me.

Fire King (MxM)
When a historian's obsession with a nineteenth century diary drives him to investigate the mysterious 'Fire King,' the truth turns his life upside down ... and leads him to fall for the one person he knows he can't have. ***** After Ryan McCoy's best friend shows him a two-hundred-year-old diary that was found in her house during a refurbishment, he becomes preoccupied with its contents. His love of history ignites his curiosity about a series of suspicious and implausible events described in the aged manuscript, including a possible homophobic arson attack on a local property. But how much is fact and how much is fiction? Can he unravel the secrets of the book and uncover the truth that has been locked between its pages for two hundred years? Author's Note: I am aware that the language spoken in Ireland two hundred years ago has variations to that spoken in modern times. However, I'm also aware that Wattpad is culturally diverse, and for many readers, English is not their first language. Many people may not be familiar with archaic Irish dialect, which may detract from the enjoyment of the story. Therefore, in an effort to make this story comprehensible to everyone, I have prioritised reader accessibility over historical accuracy with regard to any language that might otherwise be seen as dated. Trigger Warning: This book contains details of a homophobic arson attack. It also contains details of the aftermath of such an event, including the exploration of themes such as PTSD and trauma responses. Those who are sensitive to these topics may like to be aware of this content before reading.
