1991. Journalist Duke Johnson must uncover  why his news service is blaming the wrong side for the Yugoslav wars, and what happened to his parents during WWII. The stories told to him by his lover, Jelena, draw him further into the conspiracy until learning that the answers lie in a horrific event that occurred fifty years prior--a holocaust which was buried from history.

Please note that this is a PG-13 story. There are some raw, brutal, and sexual scenes, but nothing gratuitous. While not enough to warrant an R-rating, IMO, this is not a story for young readers or those who aren't prepared for an honest depiction of events.

..........

I started researching this story sometime ago, when I saw Christianne Amanpour of CNN stand over a pit of graves harkening back to World War II. I took years to try and understand why people were so intent on killing each other. Was it human nature, or was it--as I soon began to learn--something far more insidious and depraved?

Even now I can't pretend to know the answer. But what I learnt sent me on an odyssey that continues on, opening up a world of secret cabals and shadow governments, of battles fought in the name greed not patriotism, of a very real Big Brother who willingly pulls the trigger on those of us who are determined to abide by the laws of patriotism, faith, and brotherhood. We are all part of a battle fought since the beginning of time.

A Covenant of Poppies is the first book in  series of  political- conspiracy-psychological thrillers that will take the reader across the globe and into the unknown world lurking just beyond this one, as well as the unfamiliar one within. Some of the books planned will border on Science Fiction and what some might call Alternative History.  A Covenant of Poppies might well be more general fiction than thriller or mystery, but it contains elements of each. Please offer me your feedback, and if you like the story, your votes. I am very interested in hearing what you have to say.

"My name is Jace Overton, and I have schizophrenia." Mr. Stevenson stood from his desk, his eyes widening and surprise slapping him in the face as if he'd just discovered vibranium. "Wow, so you're a schizophrenic?" My mom told me there were three kinds of people in the world: people that didn't care, people that cared enough, and people that cared too much. He was definitely the third type of person. "No, I have schizophrenia. I am not a schizophrenic." "Is there a difference?" I stared at him blankly, "I wouldn't have corrected you if there wasn't." ----- Jace is weird. Jace has a blunted affect, a knack for memorizing, and a strong attraction to a Pakistani girl named Elizabeth. He also has a distant father, an overbearing psychiatrist and two best friends that get him into situations (some of which end with his nose [and heart] being broken). He has a sister that's ten years his senior, daily medication, serious hatred for the color white and a mere four years to accomplish the following things: 1) Make his parents fall in love with each other again. 2) Make Elizabeth fall in love with him. 3) Get people to understand that he has schizophrenia, he is not a schizophrenic. The former is attached to an identity while the latter is a label. A CampNaNoWriMo Novel

~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph. She struggles through her grief as well as dealing with the mysterious but obnoxious Joseph, and it soon comes to light that he isn't the only one around her keeping secrets. Living under the same roof, tensions arise, and Liliana begins to discover that a perfect family may not be so perfect after all." If you like a good old slowburn, enemies (ish) to lovers, bonding over tragic backstories type beat then this story is for you, I promise :) #1 in #bestfriendsbrother (didn't note the exact date - some time in January 2021) #1 in #dealing with death (11/04/21) amazing cover by @sixty6ix !!

edit (7/6/23): bro what is this story? plot execution sucks fr 😭 A hard-working widow, Charlotte Wormwood, lost her daughter in a tragic accident. 20 years later, she stumbles across a homeless girl who appeared to have the same birthmarks as her deceased daughter! She appeared to have knowledge of her daughter's past life! Charlotte tries to solve the mystery of her daughter's death and the peculiar girl. She gets trapped in a morbid time machine which travels her to 1945, the year on her daughter's death, to try to save her from the events. Could this all be a coincidence or just some weird hoax? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone has there own secrets. Some are dark and morbid, even when everyone in your town talks about it. You swore to secrecy that they wouldn't tattle, but you sometimes can't trust them, even if something goes terribly wrong that the truth has to be uncovered.... Warning: contains violence in some scenes. I have no interest or intention in actually killing someone or something. This is just a book I like to write and criminal minds in the '40s-'60s got me thinking of writing my very first book (which is this one). Also, some sensitive topics include religion, so viewer discretion is advised. Enjoy reading this book. Thank you so much on reading this! I appreciate it! A/N: this is my first story ever. 🌚🌝 y'all this is my first story ever. pretty crap, if I do say so myself. so I apologize if the story and it's events is pretty confusing. It's super cringe and weird, because I made this a bit ago when I wasn't even a teen yet. βžͺ started: 4/12/21 βžͺ published: 4/14/21 βžͺ finished: 10/11/21

It had been about a year since Nikki Newman had dropped the bomb on her family that she had another child, a son, Dylan McAvoy. She had dreaded telling the secret that she had kept hidden from Victor and her kids, Victoria, Nicholas, and Abby (who Nikki adopted), and how they would react to such life-changing news about her being part of a cult and becoming pregnant by the cult leader, Ian Ward. Nikki had pushed all this out of her mind until she received Katherine’s letter urging her to find her child. After a long search and journey she found out that she didn't need to look very far because her child was in Genoa City all along. After telling all this information to her family they did not take to well to it at first except for Victoria, who stood by her mother from the very beginning. Nick was not especially happy to find out Dylan was his brother because there little issue they already had (Avery), but eventually Nick became more understanding. Victor was another story he was very supportive of his wife until he found out that Paul Williams had been informed about this situation before he had. After many, many deep discussions on the subject, Victor began to understand Nikki’s reasoning behind keeping it a secret from him because of his being left at an orphanage by his mother. As for Dylan, he was definitely shocked when Nikki blurted out that she was his biological mother since he always thought the people who raised him were his real parents. Dylan was not too keen on getting to know Nikki at first but the more time he spent with her he found the more he understood about himself. It also helped push Dylan towards Nikki that he did not have anyone else to call family and now he had her and he could not just give that up so easily. So now as mentioned above its a while later and everyone seems to be getting along or at least tolerating each other. *Disclaimer: I obviously don't own anything Hope you enjoy and I would love any feedback you want to offer!

Power is all that matters in this world, those who are starved of it are at the bottom of the hierarchy, but then there are those who bathe in it. Being born with a golden spoon in her mouth, Valeria has been accustomed to having people at her feet. When certain events intervene with her trust in her family, Valeria begins to notice things the press failed to. As more and more clues emerge from the shadows, as more people become apart of this mess, Valeria makes it her mission to get to the bottom of all the lies she's grew up with. Secrets. Deception. Illusions. Would Valeria be able to push past the truth that her family was feeding her or will she herself take down anyone who gets in her way? -------------------------- This is book 1 in the SERPENTS' series.This book contains extreme themes that may not be suitable for specific audiences, I've warned you. The love interest is violent, and the stereotypical Made Man, meaning this book will have non-consensual relationships, where the male lead is quite literally the incarnation of the devil himself.

Passport? Check. Book of maps to every country in the world? Check. The world's best treasure hunting dad and the most incredible stepmom? Check. My amazing boyfriend of over a year and a half? Check! The same crazy guy who'd been chasing us on our last exploration and the group of other crazy people he's basically teamed up with? Ugh, check. And the newest member of our group, my baby sister Addy, who's going on her very first treasure hunt at the tender age of four months old? Oh, my gosh, check! Call me, Callie Landon, a complete fool and I'd have to totally agree. As to what type of fool, I'd let you know. I was a fool in love, a fool to do what we did every day, a fool to trust Agents Jenna Hudson and Chris Turner when they said that they had another treasure for us to find, one that's only known by the FBI and the government and hadn't gone public. And just what was that treasure? Well, we didn't know. And neither did they. It was apparently life changing, though, so I was guessing pretty big. Our group was going to be bigger on this exploration, that's for sure. And we were adding another, rather unexpected person: Sophie Barnes, who was Max's ex-girlfriend. This treasure hunt was going to be even more dangerous than our others. It was going to full of sneaking into government facilities in other countries, stealing priceless items that were supposed to be heavily guarded, car chases, near kidnappings...and enough dirty diapers to knock out a hundred men just with the smell. It was going to be one crazy adventure. But then again, it always was in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 3 in the My Life Series)
