-Hansel and Gretel Retelling-
---Trigger Warning: There is slight parental abuse. I kept it limited while still trying to put those concepts forward.---
What if the Hansel and Gretel story we all knew as children, was wrong? What if the witch isn't the evil hag we knew her as? I soon discover the truth...
I needed to get away. I couldn't take anymore from my father. I needed to run. So, I did. What I stumbled on in the woods was so much more than anything I expected.
I finally found a home in the woods. Nothing could screw this up, could it?

Charles King, Lonely hope, part 1.
Once my mum held unrivaled fame and power as a guild member, commanding respect across the world. Then, unexpectedly, my parents left London for the tranquil beauty of the Lake District. Now, on the cusp of my 13th birthday, we are returning to London, to the heart of my parents' former guild. This means I will attend the prestigious school they once graced. But beyond this, I am on the brink of a pivotal event - a Reveal Day. At 13, we undergo a ceremony where our elemental magic is unveiled, determining our destiny, education, and path in life. Yet, life in the countryside is no idyllic retreat. It harbors peril, with monstrous creatures and dangerous animals lurking, some with bounties on their heads, requiring the intervention of guilds to eliminate them. P.s I asked the A. to create my book cover how cool does that look 😁Complete
Book 1: Veil of Shadows
I'm Ivy Hilton, and I screwed up. Big time. One, I'm one of the most powerful wizards in my world, and the next, I'm half-magic, stranded in the mortal realm, and fighting for my life. Why? Because I thought I could outsmart another wizard who's just as stubborn and reckless as I am. Spoiler: I couldn't. Now, the only way to get home is to find some mythical place called the Garden of Stone. Yeah, it sounds made up to me too, but it's my only shot. Oh, and did I mention there are powerful beings-disguised as humans, of course-who want me dead before I can even get close? Fantastic, right? My magic's running low, I've got no allies, and the longer I stay here, the more I realize that maybe this whole mess is way bigger than me. But hey, no pressure. If I fail, it's not just my problem-it's the end of both our worlds. So yeah, no big deal.Complete
Clique Crash Out
12 kids. 12 untold stories. 12 unspoken traumas. Abandoned in the middle of the forest, will these kids uncover the darkest parts of themselves they swore to hide forever? Will they shove their secrets even farther down into themselves? Or will they find the courage to share, but not the chance? This story is about healing wounds. Metaphorically, and literally. With a masked attacker in the woods, some wounds will need to be healed. Cmon, go meet the first kid. Miles is a tough nut to crack, but you should try to get to know him. You should try and get to know ALL of them. UPDATES EVERY MON, WED, FRI, AND SUN TRIGGER WARNINGS With any good book about trauma, comes a list of trigger warnings. This book touches on physical, mental, and verbal abuse from friends, family, and guardians. As well as sexual assault and harassment (But don't worry, it's fade to black), has extreme depictions of self harm and suicidal thoughts, has scenes and descriptions of a public shooter, eating disorders, and lastly, racism/classism. The list may be long, but it IS the point of the book to touch on all of these topics. I hope you enjoy.

The Years Between
Intro: When the heavy door creaked open the small girl gasped at the cold air that hit her bare legs. The air that now filled her lungs, was quick to leave in a small laugh as she saw the view ahead of her. A thick blanket of fluffy snow covered every branch, rock, and building in sight. It sparkled under the bright sun. The girl didn't know how lucky she was to see the outdoors under these weather circumstances. The sky was usually painted in a sea of gray clouds that snowed endless white powder onto the kingdom 11 months out of the year. The brunette couldn't contain her smile as she peered out of the doors. It didn't matter that she could see her breath, or that goosebumps littered her skin, her feet stinging against the cold stone. She hadn't been outside- ever. ~~~~~~~~ A Knight saves her and then he leaves her. A broken hearted Nymph in a brand new world. Will he come back for her? ~~~~~ All pictures are from Pinterest!
