CrystalScherer ~ the idea and the idea of mini dragons and labs
Me ~ a lot of stuff, but not all
***
Evil labs. Inhumane experiments on people. Mad scientists. All things that we have some sort of deeply ingrained fear of. Yet, what if they existed? And what if they turned people into miniature dragons?
Iris Williams was a bright, young, talented middle school girl. She was expecting to go to some sort of prestigious high school, and definitely not expecting to be transformed into a miniature dragon. Now faced with the challenges of being in such a form, turns out she is also being sold off to the highest bidder? It seems almost impossible to cope, but it's her only choice.

The Rage Eater
RAMPAGING ORCS. SAVAGE BEASTLIES. AND... STUDENTS? In the heart of a Kingdom on the verge of another long and brutal war lies Barrett's Academy, an elite boarding school where the sons and daughters of the ruling clans study alchemy, medicine, and battle. There, each student is given a beastly, a child's closest companion and most trusted ally. A beastly might be a savage bull, a bloodthirsty hyena, or even a gentle healing monkey. Some can fight, some can talk, but all are fiercely loyal. Our hero, Sadie Lynch, desperately wants a beastly. She wants to train at the Academy, so she can grow up to become a Warrior and lead armies against the orcs. But Sadie Lynch is no noble. She's a taverner's daughter, which means if she wants to join Barrett's Academy, she'll need a scholarship. Plus, she soon learns that anger triggers her magical power: fire. That may sound exciting, but for her, it's terrifying. Because in this world, magic isn't fun and whimsical; it's a weapon of war, wielded by wizards and priestesses, not little girls. So, if Sadie wants to survive amongst the Kingdom's elite, she must learn to repress the rage that could unleash hell at any moment... *Updated daily.* **Also, I want to give a shout out to Leah McPherson, the first kid to read my book. You rock, Leah!**Complete

Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?"

TOTAL Compatibility (Preview)
Behind the Barrier, Jillian's life is tidy enough: follow orders, keep the illusion of peace intact-and, in theory, fix her personal life, which remains an ongoing disaster. That is, until things stop making sense-and she starts recognizing faces she's never met. Her job? Eliminate the creatures that slip through from the Astral. Easy enough-until one of them, a charming bastard who calls himself a Wishmaster, starts slipping into her dreams and peeling back her defenses like he's done it before. Maybe he has. Then there's her new partner: engineered by OptiMate to be her perfect match, tailored to her needs with unsettling precision, and wearing a face that feels just a little too familiar. And maybe that's not a coincidence either. As reality unravels and memories begin surfacing in all the wrong places, Jillian starts to wonder if the real threat isn't what lurks beyond the Barrier-but what's already rewriting her from the inside. A blend of sharp-edged romance, warped memory, and twisted magic-for readers who love stories where love feels wrong, the past refuses to stay buried, and the truth hits like a sucker punch.
