Sweepings of the Street - Novel Excerpt [2022]
Twelve-year-old Sarah Lee longs to remain in the golden fields under a starry sky forever, but life has other plans for her. After the bleak spring of 1816 yields meager crops, Sarah's family flees its home in the English countryside to labor at a textile factory in newly industrial London. A factory accident several months later leaves Sarah's father out of work and her family desperate for money. Despite the worries of her older brother Thomas, Sarah disguises herself and ventures into a dangerous new job. Sarah soon learns that life in London is not as simple as it seems. She meets Jamie, a sullen, aggressive boy who helps her adjust to the new conditions. But Jamie has dark secrets of his own, and his reluctance to trust strangers clashes with Sarah's burning curiosity about his past. As the city creeps towards winter, Sarah and her friends stand face-to-face with the horrors of London poverty-rising prices, rampant crime, disease, and hopelessness-and it becomes clear that not everyone will make it out alive. Everyone has a secret, and the consequences can be more devastating than any of them can imagine. WARNINGS: This excerpt contains descriptions of physical injury and child abuse.

Thames
A story of misadventure. Charles Wilmore, bored, a little down on his luck and with plenty of time to spare, is tempted to take passage on a sailing trip across the North Sea.

The story of Eliza Oswald
What happens in Victorian London when you are a young lady and you suddenly find yourself without a mother and with a father who refuses to see what was in front of him. Also this is a strange and accidental mix of ITV's Victoria and Hamilton (the musical). I'm not entirely sure how it happened but it did. Rated mature because I am paranoid.Terminé
You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓
Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Dandelion - a Henry Cavill fanfiction
"You are Henry Cavill," I acknowledge when I look back up into his blue eyes. I have to bite my tongue or else I would have added sexiest man alive to it. He wants to say something, but I stop him by raising my hand. "If you are concerned about me telling anyone you live here, there is no need for it. I understand that privacy is a fragile thing, and I would never do anything to disturb yours. I am aware that you don't know me and therefor probably don't trust me, but it's in my own interest that I won't tell anyone that you are my neighbor." A year ago, Charlotte moved to L.A. with her boyfriend. Since then, her life has been nearly perfect. She has more than she ever dreamed of: her debut novel is being adapted into a movie, and she just signed a new publishing deal for a series. She couldn't be happier, right? But then she meets her neighbor, Henry. As their friendship grows, he begins asking questions Charlotte never wanted to face. Will she be ready to hear what he has to say about toxic relationships, or will she push him away? Can Henry help her see the truth or even become something more than a friend?Terminé

Mila
It was hard living in the slums. Everyday, people thrived on scraps, dirty water and very little money. Children were exposed to practically every disease imaginable yet still managed to survive. Girls who reached puberty were often married off early to ease their family's burden while young boys were forced to do labor. In the midst of all these hardships lived a girl. She was an innocent in body but her mind had known too much filth. She knew she had to be selfish in order to get away from this life. If it meant whoring herself to a man older by ages, then she would do whatever it takes.Terminé
