Nancy is known throughout the Archipelago for many things. Mystery solving, bravery, a quick wit.  What the Triton detective isn't known for is attending stuffy weddings.  However the location of the wedding does interest her.  The legendary ship, the Alabaster Pearl, which has recently had reports of ghost sightings.  If Nancy has to attend a wedding, at least she'll be able to solve the ship's mystery in the process. 
 
This is a fantasy novella about a Triton detective solving the mystery of ghostly apparitions appearing on the deck of an old pirate ship.  Based on a Dungeons and Dragons adventure that was based on a Nancy Drew novel, this book was written as a joke that got out of hand.  It's more or less fanfiction of my friends' ocs. I did my best to make the setting comprehensible to an audience who isn't familiar with the rest of my work so this can stand on it's own, but since I don't have any beta readers who aren't familiar with my work already I can't say for sure.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

The New Girl

28 parts Complete Mature

Allie is the popular girl who says and gets what she wants with the snap of her finger. She's the most beautiful girl in school and has the hottest boyfriend and of course she's cheer captain. Spencer on the other hand is the opposite. Yeah she may have the looks, but it doesn't help when she's the new girl at school who is a shy, quiet bookworm who keeps to herself. Things change on the first day of school when Spencer meets Allie, but that changed Spencer forever. Since then she is all Spencer can think of, but she knows Allie will never acknowledge her in anyway. But after being partnered up for a school project, Spencer's feelings get stronger by the day and Allie soon figures out about it and finds it amusing and decides to take advantage of it. Like any other cliche story her plan falls apart for some unknown reason, which she finds annoying. But not as annoying as Spencer.
