Laika, a fourteen year old astronomy enthusiast, who when asked could name you all the stars in the sky is moving to Alaska. Her new home is a town trapped in an endless winter, with mountains covered with snow and lakes frozen over, the natural beauty of the town seems to stun her while everyone she meets takes it for granted. Laika suddenly realises that the only good thing she is getting out of this move is a chance to see the stars, something she barely got to do against the brightness of the city lights of London, against that she has to start a new school trying to fit in, which is hard when your personality is as cold as the snow on the ground, survive against frequent blizzards and come to terms with who she really is, asking questions about herself she had never thought of before. It seems like the stars are the only thing she has as an escapism towards her new life and the only thing she has to keep her from running away, or is it?

Primed: A Kayla Madison Story by MelissaHamilton2
37 parts Complete
Kayla Madison is a normal-ish sixteen-year old whose main desire is simple-make it through high school without embarrassing herself too much in the process. It doesn't help that she's being followed by dark figures no one else sees. When a man with incredible speed, unbelievable power, strange old-fashion clothes, and an obnoxious personality threatens her life, she discovers she is a rare "two-worlder" -a person with one parent from Earth and the other from Earth Prime. She escapes another attack by jumping through a portal to the alternate dimension, much to the chagrin of her protector. As if managing without electricity, cars, and phones on the more Edwardian world weren't enough stress; she finally meets her long-absent father, a scientist in the top-secret field of Trans-Dimensional Travel. Things get more complicated when she realizes her best friend's father, or rather the Earth Prime version of him, might have been the person that orchestrated the assaults. ___ Thanks for reading! I've been working on this story for quite a while and have drafts for a five book series. I would love feedback on what I can do to make it a stronger story. If there are things you enjoy, let me know (so I don't change those parts.) :) All portions of the story have been submitted and final chapters will visible by Nov 18, 2023. Among other degrees, I have my MFA in creative writing. I am a science teacher when I am not writing.

11 parts Complete

When Elle was just a little girl, her aunt told her about this great trip through Europe she had once gone on. And so, years later, an eighteen-year-old Elle decides to go on the same trip. But hers doesn’t go nearly as smoothly as her aunt’s. And so, completely disappointed and even more heartbroken than before, Elle decides to go back home. But then her plane has to stop in a little town in the middle of nowhere during the biggest snowstorm of the decade. And so the adventures she had been hoping for and the love she hadn't really expected to find are thrust upon her, in the form of trying to find a place to stay in a town flooded with angry tourists, a crazy set of weird characters that offer their help, and an overly sarcastic yet amiable boy that doesn’t seem like anyone Elle has ever met before.
