In November 1995 we were travelling around the North Island of New Zealand looking for the place where Tamatea who swallowed, climbed and jumped mountains, known as thick knees, played his flute to his loved one. Too eager to get there only to go back again, we suddenly found ourselves quite literally upside down in a hole. We needed a hero and he appeared in an instant; our very own Caractacus Pott. With a good dose of kindness, a roar from his tractor and a lot of endeavor, he soon got us to roll with it again, and although Tamatea was never found, our adventurous spirit was rekindled.

The White Wolf Guardian
He is a beast but the most elegant and strong Lycan Monarch that was ever alive. In this century humans never believe in myths and legends so for Lycans was easy to live around humans. She is the beautiful and normal girl that can blend in any crowd without being too hard. What she didn't knew is that her own history will catch up with her soon and that the life she tried to have will not be anywhere near as she wanted. When in modern times the Lycan Monarch and the hidden and forgotten Monarch of grand Witch clash in a pool of uncertainty and conflicted feelings, when they shouldn't be together, but the fate decided differently and when she ends up being his Guardian as the old and forgotten prophecy will say, love will amplify the powers, hate and betrayal will broke hearts and fear will made them do decisions that can have a tragic or a magic end. "Red flower, you're the Queen of Lycans empire " "I'm your Witch Guardian " But for them it didn't matter, the more they fight for each other the more they loved each other and the end of their story will depend on their decisions and choices.

CAPTURED BY HIM (Book I: Captured series)
UPDATE!! BOOK II: BOUND TO HIM IS NOW AVAILABLE!! NEW CHAPTER POSTED EVERY THURSDAY!!! *** It was supposed to be a simple trade off with her father but only it wasn't so simple. Not when they both were attracted to each other on levels they didn't understand. *** "What were you thinking was going to happen tonight?" I question, trying hard to conceal the surge of surprise she's brought on to me. She leans in closer to my face, her voice a seductive whisper "A one night stand". What the fuck? Is she trying to play some kind of a game with me? Because it's working, she keeps surprising me and I couldn't hate her more right now. My hand reaches out to grab her face, my cool skin feels uncomfortable over her warm cheeks. She leans into my touch, green eyes fixed on mine. "As much as I'd like to do that, I have an agenda for tonight" I pull my hand back unwillingly. "What agenda?" She looks at me as if I have grown another head. "I'm going to be honest here, I'm not taking you to have sex with you. This is a kidnapping" *** WARNING! CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEX SCENES, VIOLENCE! READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.Complete
New Zealand -1500 miles on foot through- The Land Of The Long White Cloud
Imagine a place where the constellations of stars above your head are different from those you have ever seen, where the night sky can glow with strange swirling lights, and where the cold of winter comes when summer arrives elsewhere. Imagine a land of volcanoes, jagged white-topped mountains, rivers of ice, deep forests of ancient trees, and dark caves where carnivorous grubs glow like stars to lure in their prey. This is a land torn apart by earthquakes, and surrounded by waters filled with giant sea creatures: its people once fierce warriors who worshipped mysterious spirits. This is not some fictional place- this is New Zealand. With a tent and a backpack, Colin Skinner set off to explore the magical geography, wildlife and people that make the islands of New Zealand such a unique place. Isolated from other land masses for around 85 million years, the land is a 'Jurassic Ark', where animals and plants from the time of the dinosaurs have somehow survived. Ancient tree ferns, plants that produce spores rather than seeds, and primitive relatives of pine trees still grow in the forests. Among the unusual creatures that still live in New Zealand are flightless ground-dwelling birds, and ancient reptiles that have hardly evolved in the last 100 million years. With this fantastic land as a back drop, Colin Skinner went off the beaten track to find the people and stories that have been shaped by what is around them. Travelling alone, and on foot, he stayed with Maori people and conservation workers, who are striving to protect the amazing land that is New Zealand. Walking through the heart of an active volcano, suffering near exposure on the windswept and rainy Desert Road, and debilitating food poisoning before crossing the Haast Pass to reach journey's end... all are part of the story. photos at http://www.facebook.com/NewZealand1500milesonfootComplete
BOOK TWO Gods Of Desterrados: Prophecy of Polynesian Realm I
The tall, Polynesian beauty's eyes were shockingly pure white while the other team members waited for her divine intel. Her name was Prophet for obvious reasons. Her beautiful tribal tattoo crawled up from her right arm to her neck. It shined in gold brilliance while she manifested her otherworldly power. "This U.S. waiting and anticipating type of shit is why I transferred out to New Zealand Ops," muttered 1st Team Gunner Diablo. He was telepathically pulling a football from the rec room table as it effortlessly smacked into his hand. The football immediately disappeared into a vortex after Diablo threw it in. Jojo looked at Diablo quizzically. "What? My son starts football next week and he needed one, it beats going to Walmart." Prophet's eyes returned to her normal shade of brown. "So what's the 411?" inquired Jojo. "The Hispanic who goes by the name Priest was the lone witness. I couldn't first-person view the whole incident cause the fucking anufe low-level demigod was too inebriated and stoned out of his mind to provide any reliable intel. Saint revealed his divine form but thankfully Priest was incapacitated. He also reported Saint left on his own accord," reported Prophet. She refused to believe her cousin Saint would've betrayed his teammates. "That's bullshit, Saint's loyal to a fault," stated Dice and Deuce simultaneously. "I hate when you guys do that, it's creepy as fuck," muttered Diablo. "Wasn't what your wife said when we was pulling a two-fer on her last night," responded the twins humorously. The team chuckled quietly. All of the teammates hailed from the South Pacific, but not all of them were of the same realm. Deuce and Dice, Prophet, and JoJo were from the Tiafau Realm where Saint and Sinner's Tagaloa bloodline ruled. Diablo was a Hawaiian god from the Koa Realm, and Specs was a Maori god from the Kaha Realm. But they all belonged to the same genealogy of purebloods. © 2020 Jeannie Mane.

Hell's Earth Part 1: Hell Come
The bones in her body were breaking and bending joint by joint. Her muscles were tensing, bending and twisting. As she continued to convulse on the cold metal slab, the restraints around her wrists, ankles and even the retainer in her mouth caused her ever increasing pain as they began to cut into her inch by inch with every seizure like convulsion that tore through her. Tears streamed down her face as her just audible groans squeaked from her throat. She could only make out the dark ominous figure as it continued to inject the serum into her heart. Her breathing became so erratic that it caused her to lose conscience but only for seconds at a time. She could feel new appendages growing from her head and back. Even her tail bone was bending and snaking its way from her body and protruding from her posterior. Her teeth began to change shape and length as her jaw reshaped its self to form around the new arrivals. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning... Trina was a devout Christian and history buff. She had gained fame and a small fortune from her discoveries. However, she wanted nothing more than to prove that Heaven and Hell did exist and was willing to get the evidence anyway she could. She had no idea what she was about to release upon herself or the world... Vincent was a brilliant detective in solving histories greatest mysteries from the empty honey comb tombs of Bohol to the recently discovered city of Atlantis. His latest dig would unearth a gate that would tear our world apart and bring another into it... Looking for evidence in the bible is one thing. Finding it is apocalyptic... I am open to any and all comments, complaints and opinions on what you readers think of my first work with many more to come. I look forward to the reviews that are sure to come.Complete

Rejected Love {COMPLETED}
My mate. So weak. So pathetic. I have a weak and pathetic mate. I thought as I looked at her in disgust and displeasure. Just like me when I was human. She is human! I don't want a mate. I don't want a weak and pathetic mate! She can't fix me! She's nothing! Screw this! My thoughts were going berserk with the rushing flashes of my past. I tucked my hand through my hair roughly in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the replay of those horrible evocations. I laid her on the small grass patch at the side of the deserted road. She was half-conscious, so possibly she could hear me... "Hey!" I said, jerking her pale face gently. Blood was covering half of her face but she was still looking beautiful in the moonlight. The sparks weren't going unnoticed and I reminded myself that it was just the mate-bond. I was determined in my decision and there was no way I was going to change it. The girl opened her eyes slightly and with that, I did what I thought was right at that time. "I, Kane Wilson, reject you as my mate!" I said, with all the strength I could have mustered in my miserable state of emotions and with that, I left her there, feeling extreme pain in my heart. But I pushed that pain aside and ran from there in my ultimate inhuman speed. Away from her! Still feeling the Rejection Pain. *~*~*~*~*~*~* He rejected her when she didn't even know what he meant for her. And after nine years, when he met her again, he found himself craving for her, seeking her attention, her love. He had fallen for her... with no return. But would she accept him now?!

The Backpacker's Dream
'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.
