When Rowan Nichols' parents officially announce their divorce, they decide it best to send her off on a two month long cruise around the Mediterranean. That would be fine and all, if not for Rowan's social anxiety and her inability to hold a normal conversation with anyone.
On the very first day of the cruise she gets knocked over by a trapeze artist and falls right into the arms of Mr. Perfect - who to her horror - can't hold himself back from making fun of her awkward traits.

Accidents Made Right 3: Philophobia

The first is Pistanthrophobia. "Being in love can cause the deepest pains" Now fully reunited, Rowan Griggs follows Steve Berkan on a quest to unravel a mystery left behind by his parents. At the same time, a group of Knumans have been mysteriously contracted to hunt down Rowan. Will they enter the light, and finally come together so they can learn to fight for each other? Or will they say in the dark, and split apart leaving a permanent tear on their relationship? Disclaimer: this book contains blood/gore, mature themes, graphic language, anxiety attacks, and more. Chapters will be added at least once a week, up to once everyday, with weekend additions rarely occurring.Complete

A Breath of Fresh Air
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.Complete

#Me too... I'm a waitress on cruise ships
Miami, Hawaii, Bahamas, Bora-Bora... "There must be a way to visit all these exquisite places besides in my dreams", thought Ann obsessively, during her last year of college. And indeed, she finally found one, despite her meager means, being born in a modest family, in a former communist country. 22 years old, with the college graduation out of the way, she applied for a job on cruise ships, halfway across the globe, in the sunny, exotic Caribbean Sea. It was just a waitressing job for which she had to leave everything behind... her family, her friends, her entire way of life up until then. Even her higher education was useless in this new endeavor of her life, but what else was there? Her wish was to travel, to see the world, to experience new cultures and being poor was not going to stop her. Little did she know about how excruciating would be to adjust to the life onboard, as part of a crew made of 1000 people from 77 different countries. 77 different cultures, traditions and customs, trying to make it work while sharing tiny, petty living quarters, in a prison like décor, located under the sea level, while working around the clock to create a dream vacation for thousands of rich, spoiled passengers. Shortly, the notion of cultural differences turned into a cultural abyss, but Ann finally discovered that the only two things uniting people across the globe are love and danger.Complete
