Psst! Stop for awhile. Stop those negative thoughts of yours. Worthless?
Waste of space? Villain? Criminal? Slut?
Pshhh! You don't need to listen to those!
That's why i'm here, after all!
Come with me, join me. No, this is not some cult or anything. Just the thought makes me laugh!
Let me show, no, experience the beauty of the world that we either forgotten, ignored, or didn't see behind the cruelty of the world, together.
But let me warn you, I have a really dirty mouth. Swear words come out of me like a really bad diarrhea!
Did i make you laugh? No? Don't worry, there's more!
So what do you say? Be my friend, my family!
Even if you're cooped up right now.
Strict parents? Maybe even strict kids!
It's fine. Let loose for awhile with me.
No cheating! I'm kidding.
But seriously, if you ever feel angry, frustrated, or hurt because of the world, come look for me. Come look for this book, that WE made together.
You might be saying that i'm bluffing but, I'm not. This book is my life. Treat this book like a friend. Because i refer to you.
Girl, boy, man, woman, or apart of the LGBTQ+ community, remember this.
Whoever you are, and i mean WHOEVER, personality, status, anyone, I'm open just for you.
Let me give you a lollipop and together we'll say:
BLAME IT ON THE LOLLIPOP!
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy:
"Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!"
"Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!"
"The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that."

Humanity is one secret society away from extinction.
The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe.
If they make it through the Academy.
Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess.
ADHD, that's me.
I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless.
I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head.
After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse.
I thought it might even get better.
Ha.
The universe has a great sense of humor.
I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I?
No.
That was my first mistake.
And it might be my last.
'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life.
A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand.
And the blood in my veins says I belong here.
But I have to prove myself to save myself.
And when have I ever done that?
