Imagine an American doctor, a widower who in 1903 finds himself in a far away tropical place. Dr. Gerald McAllister is a doctor involved with a cholera epidemic in Ubec, Philippines. A widower, he thinks only of work and is a somewhat brittle overly serious man. When he meets the flirtatious Agustina, life changes for him.

Woman with Horns is historical fiction set at the turn of the century in the Philippines. It is also a love story and is part of my collection, Woman With Horns and Other Stories, available in Kindle. Please post a review for the book in Amazon. 

 Woman with Horns is very popular among students and many have posted skits in YouTube based on this story. Check it out. 

I am working on collecting all my short stories and novella into one collection, so watch out for the Collected Stories by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard.  

PS. I'm always looking for an international publisher.

Book #1 in the YOU Series. KARTAVYAxANIKA [Under Editing] "You can try all you want to make him love you, Anika but he will never love you. Because he has given his heart to me along ago." She said looking at me hatred in her eyes. "I don't have to try to make him love me. He already does with all his heart." With a smile on my face I look at my phone which pinged with a notification. "I don't have time to waste with you, my husband is waiting for me." She laughed out loud making me look at her in confusion, is she loosing her senses or what? She looked at me with pity. "I feel sorry for you that you believe he loves you. If he loves you as you say why was he at my place every night for the past three days." To say i was shocked would be an understatement. He lied to me. He lied about where he was and what he was doing. What happens when two souls are arranged together one who doesn't believe in love or so he thought and the other who always wanted a fairly tale like story. Will they be able to come together and find love in each other or would they break by the circumstances surrounding them. Join Kartavya Raichand and Anika Raichand in their journey.

If we are still in the 90's and someone will approach me and say "You're a descendant of a Goddess," I'll most likely answer "You need some serious help." But we are now living in the early 22nd century, where the country has endured and survived the Great World War and Vampires ruled the world like kings -literally. Anything is possible. My one shot to escape the social stigma branded to someone like me who is born from a lower caste is just one school away. I am one of those lucky few chosen to attend the Imperial Academy. It may be a vampire infested school, but a school is still a school. Everything is okay until my very own personal bully shows up. And to top it all an arrogant vampire prince thinks I'm his! And I get to see them every day. Great. My name is Lira, and this is my story. Published under Cloak Pop Fiction

From the renowned Filipino reformist and national hero Dr. Jose Rizal comes a classic piece of literature that served as the spark for the nation's revolution and the eye-opener regarding the disease that has been festering within the Philippine society during the Spanish era.

Armed with sheer determination and a firm and positive outlook on things, he commits himself to continuing his father's philanthropical work, pioneering projects aiming at the development of the people's welfare by providing means to education and livelihood. While there are people who are avid supporters of the young man's cause, there exists in the shadows an entity as dark and malicious as the abyss it came from, shrouded deeply by lies and deceit and the hypocrisy that spawned it, hell-bent on destroying everything that stood in its path...

Five Filipino doctors, driven by a thirst for scientific advancement, formed their own company, The Umbrella Corporation. Their ambition? To conduct groundbreaking experiments on the unsuspecting residents of Quezon City, targeting a diverse range of subjects: babies, children, teenagers, parents, the elderly, and more. Years of tireless research culminated in a series of trials. The first patient, initially showing signs of remarkable progress, took a horrifying turn. They transformed into a zombie, the project's first resounding failure. Despite this setback, the doctors pressed on, driven by an unwavering conviction in their work. From Patient two to Patient six, they continued their experiments, each test pushing the boundaries of human resilience and, ultimately, sanity. Chaos erupted as Patient six managed to escape, leaving a trail of terror in their wake. In the midst of this unfolding nightmare, Patient seven, a young woman who had been in a prolonged coma, emerged. Her return was not only a testament to the human will to survive but also a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked ambition. As she confronted her own father, she made a chilling decision - to offer herself for testing by the other doctors, a choice born from an unfathomable desire for answers, regardless of the consequences. Under SPG (Strong Parental Guidance) rated 18+/new adults only can read this book. Date Start: January 6, 2023 Date End: January 31, 2023

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
