Who says fairy tales never come true? Happy endings happen more often than everyone notices. Not everybody gets a fairy tale ending, but it always ends the best way it can. Everything happens for a reason, right?
Isabel is basically your average, cliché adult. Her background, however, is not so normal. Messed up family, mom with stage four cancer.
Then everything changes when she serves coffee to someone going into the army and they bond over the only evening they ever had together.
Isabel believes that everyone gets a happy ending, but do they really?

I'm Not Crazy
We are not the broken clichés you want us to be anymore. We have transcended beyond the "Good Girl ~ Bad Boy" boxes they tried to put us in. We are so far beyond all that now, that we are finally free of all those stereotypes. The story of us is not the usual cliche "good girl" meets "bad boy" that instantly fall in love. Oh, and after a few almost funny mishaps everything works out perfectly story. Or the other one where the brooding bad boy with a tragic past gets a second chance to become a happy, well-adjusted person again. All thanks to the love of an awesomely perfect popularity princess with a pure heart of gold. Who sees "something special" inside him, that no one else can see ...and sets him on a straight path. All that once in a lifetime fairy dust love, that only exists for perfect pretty popularity princesses in the happily ever after. No, this is the other kind of love story ...the messy kind, that messes peoples lives up irrevocably, for all time. The real kind of love story, that comes hand in hand with hopes and fears, and all that real hurt that burns at your heart. So while our Crazy love might not be as bright and shiny as that fairy dust love is ...our love will kick your loves ass any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Because our love knows the secret truth about itself. That it's not about how perfectly you fall in love, it's how you get the back up after love kicks your ass sideways, and you come back looking for more. Because our love is that Crazy kind of love, that is so forever you have to fight for it 'till the bitter end ...or die trying. The kind of love that comes with beer, pizza, football and a hell of a lot of laughs ...but mostly at everyone else's expense. ~First Place Chicklit - 2017 Blue Rose Award~ ~ Second Place for Teen Fiction - The Star Blazer Awards 2018~ ~ Honorable Mention for Best Plot - 2017 Royalty Awards ~Complete

Military Girl
She used to believe in fairytales-the kind of love that felt like fate, like something out of the romance novels she hid under her bed as a kid.

Between grueling training, impossible expectations, and the weight of responsibility, love was supposed to be the last thing on her mind. But when feelings start to creep in-unexpected, inconvenient, and all too real-she's faced with the hardest battle yet: balancing the life she chose with the love she's always wanted. Because in her world, there are no fairytale endings. Or are there?Complete

The Tragic Tale of Cinderella
All fairy tales are supposed to end happily ever after, no? What if they were just lies? The truths behind those tales could be as black as the night for all you know. Maybe you think I'm just a skeptic, a hardened old man who just doesn't see the magic anymore. Well, you'd be right on both accounts. Don't let me dampen your love of stories and how the world works. But for those of you who seek the truth and want to know more, I invite you to listen to my tale. For I was there when that awful woman Lady Tremaine took control of my former lord's manor. I saw the depths of evil that lived inside her. And most importantly, I saw the girl you call Cinderella change from beloved daughter to fierce warrior. Before there was princes and love, there was heartbreak and war. My name's John and I was just a stable boy, but I was there and was able to chronicle The Tragic Tale of Cinderella.Complete
ONLY A MAYBE, NEVER A YES
You're probably dying to know how this mess wraps up. Like, do they get that big, rainy, dramatic make-out? Does heartbreak suddenly get a plot twist that makes all the pain look artsy and necessary? Nope. Sorry, not that movie. This story's for the ones who get stuck in the "almost." The ones who text at 2 a.m. and call it friendship, even when it's way messier than that. It's all the feelings you never say out loud, and the pretending that helps you get through the day. Love in this story isn't fireworks. It's a quiet ache that sits with you, polite and relentless. Yeah, there's kissing. There's all that skin-on-skin, tangled-up-in-the-gray-area stuff. But here's the kicker: someone always leaves. Someone always waits around, hoping for a miracle that never RSVPs. So, before you dive in, ask yourself-ever loved someone who was never really yours? If not, lucky you. But if you have... pull up a chair. This one's for you.
