What is a house? A building for human habitation, especially one that consists of one or more upper storeys. That's what you would find in the dictionary. What is a home? The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of family or household. No! That's not a home. Home is where the heart is. At least that's what my mother used to say. Home is a place where you feel you belong.

X & Y ✓
Kith never thought that her senior year of high school would be spent in a frat house, especially the frat house of her ex-best friend's, douchey, irresponsible older brother, Cameron. She'd fantasized about going to college since middle school, but not like this, not this early. She'd never planned on doing homework in a lounge that reeked of testosterone and beer while her new roommate partied until the stars went to sleep. Kith had never intended to be the source of drama in two very different schools either. Her senior year was supposed to consist of: hanging out with friends, doing tedious assignments, having a snowball fight during Winter Break, tanning during Spring Break, and rounding off her high school career with a creatively themed Prom. But none of that mattered; her plans didn't mean anything anymore. The phrase 'supposed to' was now an afterthought. Because things had gotten a little screwed up on the way to graduation. Deals with Mature Themes such as mentions of rape. Warning will be given beforehand.Complete

Family Togetherness
What is a family? "A family is a close-knit unit of kin that strives to love, care and work with its members as a team." That's what the dictionary says. But a dictionary is just a book, and what does a book know about real life? In Number Four Maple Road, there is a lot more rivalry and payback than teamwork. After all, five siblings with utterly different personalities living under one not-so-big roof was never going to be easy. Everyone knows that. They just didn't expect it to be so hard! "A delightful story of growing up and realising that those around you will always play a part in your life." Thank you to the amazing @ShwetaChp for designing the cover. Your work is beautiful.Complete
