Corrin Weatherly is down on her luck and in desperate need of a job to get by. Seeing an advert for a babysitting position, it seems to be just the thing to get her back on her feet. Her best friend isn't too sure, after all paying that much an hour? There's got to be a catch right?
Corrin doesn't have much of a choice, so sends off her application and is thrilled to be offered an interview. Sure, the family seems a little eccentric but everyone has their quirks.
It's only when Corrin begins to babysit the twins does she start to realise that eccentric doesn't even start to cover it. How's she supposed to care for kids who can grow trees in the living room, summon animals at the drop of a hat and cause waterfalls in the bathroom?

May lives in a world settled by technology-rejecting idealists wishing to live in harmony with the land. That land, however, has not been very cooperative. The desert in the heart of the planet is spreading outward at an alarming pace, swallowing anything that gets in its way. And May? She's in its way, all right! Alone on her parents' dying farm, May has two goats, a shotgun, and a whole lot of dust. That's about all she has, until the day Ro shows up. Ro brings with him a secret most of their world isn't ready to face. The lawmen on his tail will do whatever it takes, including murder, to keep that secret buried in the desert sand.

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2)
A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own. Shouldn't be too hard. #6 - #strong-heroine #41 - #banter **Average Word Count Per Chapter: 8,000 **Edited (x2) LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT GRAMMAR ISSUES! *****Last Edited: 12/14/2024 NOTE FROM ME! - I very much model my works to resemble published examples, so there are no notes in any chapters from me, trigger warnings for chapters, etc. Just the world my brain likes to escape to every now and then.

When their old babysitter leaves town due to personal reasons, Mrs. McLoughlin must hire a new one for her little two year old angel, Sean. Since she and her husband are never home as much as they'd like to be, and all their older children have moved away, she needs to make sure the sitter's availability is for their child and their child only. This is a problem considering every other nanny she's interviewed has another child or several in their care schedule.

At first, she thought it was strange to see a male babysitter, though, her doubts changed immediately upon reading several reviews that past families had given him. Both curious and desperate, she called the agency and asked for him. She had him come over the next day to see if he was fit for the job. ~~~~~ *Full sentences or phrases written in both bold & italic are dialogue going on in Mark's head.
