A young boy, Edwin Myers, enlists in the US Army in 1941, during the second World War. He's badly injured in the battle of Crete, which lands him in the field hospital. His weakened eyes seem to jolt back to life once they landed on Eleanor Francis, the voluntary nurse's aid. Eleanor quickly becomes a close friend, so she decides to gift Edwin with a journal, since she always had a love for writing. He begins writing an entry in his journal everyday. Edwin is sent back to the battlefields once he's healed, and, of course, his entries never cease.
|| A true story based off of my own fathers life ||

Hi! This is my first full-length fanfic! I'm so excited! Of course, this is a George Luz fic (based solely on Rick Gomez's portrayal of the character) because I'm a Luz girl for life. I'm not too focused on keeping things super historically accurate, so there will be variations in order for me to take creative liberties. Hope you love it!

The Quake
In the first of three rom-coms set among a disaster, meet Tyler and Erin. Erin isn't lonely even if she has no friends because she has a dream that has consumed her every waking moment up until now: to be the veterinarian for her beloved hometown of Elkton. On the verge of taking her board exams and achieving that dream, the Big One hits her town, forcing her into the role of medical practitioner for human and animal alike. Without people skills to get her through this disaster and with her twin brother missing in action, she is forced to lean on the one human left she's most comfortable around, her brother's best friend Tyler. Tyler, who has always yearned for the closeness of family, views his best friend as a brother. Of course, when Drew goes missing in the natural disaster no one thought would ever actually happen, Tyler's only family left is his best friend's twin sister Erin, whom he has secretly pined for for years. Perhaps if he helps her adjust to her new role in the community, she will begin to look at him as more than a roommate. Through wild animal attacks, community bonfires, experimental surgeries, and construction projects galore, Erin and Tyler must find a way to move beyond survival and into living. In the rural town of Elkton Oregon everyone has a plan for what they'll do when the Big Quake hits. When it actually happens though, things don't go according to plan. Sometimes, though, falling in love makes it turn out better than anyone could have planned. Reading Note: This Novel is in Beta.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Every Greek tragedy needs an Antigone or a Danaë. Every King Lear needs a Cordelia. Boardwalk Empire positioned itself as both a Greecian tragedy and Shakespearean, and yet forgot that key player who binds everyone together. Not a Boardwalk fan? Don't worry. If you like damaged heroes, the 1920s, Mafia stories, or tales of World War I? Knowledge of the show isn't necessary. Clara Thompson, like everyone around her, is learning to cope in a post-World War I reality. The reality includes Prohibition, which her father (a dirty politician) sees as a chance to consolidate wealth and power. Her pseudo-brother Jimmy is physically back in Atlantic City, but his soul still seems elsewhere. After her father banishes Jimmy to Chicago, Clara chases after him and meets Richard Harrow, a young vet whose war damage isn't confined to his face. Meanwhile, her father's machinations put everyone's lives in danger and contribute to changing familial ties.Complete
Adored by a Hitman (Hitman Series Pt. 3)
Third book in the Hitman series! It can be read as a standalone but highly suggest reading the others in order to understand the characters a bit better! Fall for some romance. Single dad, widow, ex-SEAL, all things I didn't want to be seen as through the eyes of someone i care about. Keeping it all to myself was my biggest mistake. When my wife died I honestly didn't think love again was ever going to be in the cards for me unless you counted my amazing son. I relied on one night stands to get me through, and drinks, lots of drinks. Running into Logan shook me to my core. Single, nurse, has two best friends, likes cooking. Yep that's basically the extent of my dating profile. I swore off men after being screwed over by my ex fiance. Who would have thought till death do us part meant nothing. We didn't even make it down the isle when I was in a major car accident. So, when I turned and saw Casey in the bar, my mind went blank and I started to sweat...a lot. That man stole my heart without even saying a word. What the hell am I going to do?Complete![Rebound, But Newfound [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/1257791-256-k219277.jpg)

The Secret in East End [Agents of the Crown #1]
A FEATURED STORY IN HISTORICAL FICTION HIGHEST RANKING #7 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Ellie had been undercover for most of her life. She had been a pickpocket for as far as she can remember, under the guise of Elliot. Any memory before the age of ten was blank in her head, with no recollection of how she had ended up under the charge of a gang of street rats as a child. Her life was meant to be mundane, as long as she remained under her secret identity. Until she tried to steal from the wrong pockets that is. --- Fabian Rothesay, the new Duke of Avondale, had spent the last 2 years rebuilding the coffers of his father, in order to ensure that the Avondale estate was not about to crumble around their feet. Taking over his father's spot as the Duke had not been an easy task, but in his doing so for the past 2 years, he has raised as one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?Complete
