This epic adventure waits for a pair of heartbroken children dealing with everyday high school life. When the discovery of a mythical dragon in the attic leads to the mystery of their parents' lives and deaths, the siblings end up with more than they can chew. They must choose between returning to their normal lives and having everything go back to normal or choose a life filled with the unknown, filled with guaranteed adventure.
But sometimes you have to sacrifice the things you love the most to choose the path you most desire.
I had written this as a short story for a college-level class and had completely forgotten about it until recently. Some parts still have grammatical errors so feel free to either point them out for me or ignore them.
Note: There are implications for bullying, so if that bothers you, don't read. It deals with the impact of the bullying on the main character and her overcoming it all.
Blessings!

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete

[COMPLETED] DISCLAIMER I wrote this book when I was a kid and it was my first time writing one so please excuse the grammatical errors and if it's not well written This book is still up because it's a comfort book to some but I wanted to put a disclaimer out there about the writing since I know it's not perfect. ____________________________________________ "You're worth more than a fucking deal, Amara." ____________________________________________ It all started with a secret deal. A deal that should have meant nothing yet meant everything. Xavier Hernandez, the Italian mafia Don. The title was given to him at a young age being only 16 and now he's carrying the weight of leading a mafia at the age of 20. He's a man who is feared by many and is known for being merciless, ruthless, strong and powerful. He would shoot you between the eyes if you dared to look at him the wrong way. His cold hearted soul has never met the warm touch of another, has never experienced the warm feeling known as love. Amara Sánchez, the Spanish mafia princess. A woman who is sarcastic yet stubborn at times. She is the youngest out of her family being the age of 18 and has a lot of responsibility in her hands as her father is the Spanish mafia Don. She is known to be kind hearted, considerate and a goddess . Her warm heart has yet to touch ones cold heart that seeks the feeling of love. Both complete opposites.

ZSEN
(FINISHED WRITING, BEING REVISED!) An only child, by the name of Nathaniel, has a very unfortunate life. Unpopular, bullied, and outcasted by everyone at school; even his own parents didn't want him! He's miserable... At least that was until his eighteenth birthday where he has the most bizarre encounter. A break-in at his own home from an organization that holds a secret from the entire world! Now, he attempts to find his life's purpose, coming across many friends as well as enemies, many obstacles, great pain, deep love, and important life lessons. It's up to him to decide whether or not he's the one in control of his own life. !!!CAUTION!!! IF YOU ARE ONE TO READ BOOKS BY THE LAST CHAPTER TO SEE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, CHAPTERS TOWARD THE END OF THIS BOOK CONTAIN HUGE SPOILERS THAT MAY RUIN OR ALTER THE DESIRED EXPERIENCE AND ENJOYMENT AND IF YOU STILL WISH TO READ THE LAST CHAPTER I SUGGEST CHAPTER 53! Info of my writing style and this book: • This book is written from the first-person point of view. Everything he thinks about; everything you read, will be the exact moment of everything that's happening. When Nathaniel gets cut off and interrupted, his thoughts will be interrupted as well. • I'll put seven periods to indicate a change in the scene; to show that time has passed since the last scene. • Bolded names are important characters to Nathaniel and the story • This book contains vulgar and sometimes erotic descriptive language. • This book is targeted toward a young adult audience.Complete

Share you OCs, I might include them in a future story. I need full personality and traits such as occupation, and orientation.
Every book I never finished.
(if anyone wants to continue my stories make sure you tag it burningsnowman) I struggle with finishing my novels so I thought hey why not throw them all into one book... This book (not plural) doesn't just stick to one background it changes consistently leaving it impossible to figure out what might happen next. Also, some storeys end midway, therefore it leaves you frustrated but in a good funny way and you could even make an ending yourself. This novel is pretty much full of books I find to be a disappointment or non-continuable therefore when I make another crappy book it will be right here for all to see(oh wait that means your seeing how crappy my writing is.) But no my writings is fairly decent and I promise I will have you intoxicated in my stories. oh and also there may be mistakes purely because they're not finished. (I really don't know what genre this should be)Complete
