What would you do if you woke to find a door in your room? No, not an ordinary, well-behaved door that stays in the wall where it belongs, but one standing near the side of your bed that leads to another world.

That is precisely what happens to Thomas John, a widowed university professor in rain-soaked England. 

Lured through the door by blue skies and white sand beaches, Thomas has no idea that his newfound paradise will be blown up on Tuesday, or that it will be up to him to stop it, wearing little more than a bathrobe and fuzzy ducky slippers.

--------

A humorous sci-fi novel inspired by the works of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

The Other Side by Stories_of_the_ages

This is an original story. A ragtag group of people who just met find out just how much of the universe they've been missing, while being stalked by an unforeseen foe. Edit: To people who were hoping for more of the Star Wars fanfic, I ran out of ideas (for now). I'll update it once I figure out where I'm going with it. And this couldn't wait, or I'd forget the idea.

Taming The Tomboy (Rewriting) by StarDaisyxxx21

"Hermia is a heck of a character I love" "The kitchen scene is so hilarious. This story is amazing!" ~LYh203126 "I love your dialogues. Imagining this feels so good!" ~MadeenahJunaid "God, the cliffhangers. . . It makes me wonder what lies ahead in the next page. Well written" ~HappyEndingWriter ***Teaser: I went into a frenzy when the curtain was drawn apart and there stood the boy next door with his eyes closed and hands outstretched. But he wasn't just there. He was stark shirtless! My eyes slowly widened and I could feel my own heart beat frantically against my chest ribs. If anyone told me the nerd had perfect eight pack abs and flexed muscles, I'd disagree but here it was, mocking me right in the face. Sweats trickled their way down his belly lines and his torso was rising in a sync.*** --- Extended description: What happens when the tomboy starts to have girl like feelings she ought not to and always condemned? But what seems like a normal highschool story boy falls in love with girl and changes for her might not be it. Instead of the girl to change the boy, the boy is changing the girl. It all started with an hockey match and a misunderstood identity. ©2022 #5 in YARomance (July 25, 2022) 100 reads- July 19 200 reads- July 26 300 reads- July 31 400 reads- August 2 500 reads- August 7 600 reads- August 11 *time lapse* 1k reads- November 4 2024 ~ Cover designed and edited by @StarDaisyxxx21 N/B: All images which will be used to represent characters herein do not belong to me.

New Horizons by NatashaLyle

Jason Munroe hates his job; from his boss to his boss's girlfriend. He just hates his job. All Jason was waiting for was a sign, a sign to show that it was time to let go of everything and when he got that sign he made sure to take it. Restarting his life might be fun; a new job, new workmates, and new and improved life overall; but Jason got more than he bargained for, much, much more. When Jason finds himself time-travelling to a dystopian future, the main question that lies in between the lines is would his new found friend help him when he gets himself into trouble, or would she flip the coin? Warning: this book may contain vulgar words. No mature content included. HIGHEST RANKING #4 IN SCIENCE FICTION #15 IN DYSTOPIAN FUTURE (13/11/20)
