| WATTYS 2022+2023 SHORTLIST! |
Becoming a grown-up is something you dream of since you're six years old, wondering if you're going to become a princess, or an astronaut, or president.
In reality? You're a twenty two year old college graduate trapped in an RV with six others carting the corpse of the country's most wanted crime lord on a cross country trip you'll never forget - no matter how much therapy you undergo.
Kiara, Violet and Elvis find themselves stuck in this reality, but maybe, despite all the madness, they may discover who they really are, and somehow find love along the way, with people as insane as themselves.

Anyone But Her
Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.

The Girls with the Flame Tattoos
In this society, everyone has a soulmate. And the way to find yours is just look. Along with a soulmate, everyone has a small tattoo on their cheek with a symbol. Some could be a star, a flower, a yinyang, a fish, or even waves. There are so many people that the symbols are almost limitless. The tattoos don't care about gender or number. There could be gay matches, and there could even be polyamorous matches. The tattoos will tingle when you are near to your sm. And they will glow if you have found only one of your sm's if your match was poly. The trick is, you don't get the tattoo until you are 16. And even if you are near your match, as long as one of you are not of age, your tattoo will not tingle. Also, they are normal tattoos (except you don't get it or choose it, it just appears) so you can get rid of it. But if you do, your sm won't die but they will get very sick. The main characters of this story, Violet West (18) and Harper Black (20), both have a flame tattoo on their cheek. They live in the same state but for 4 years Harper paniced because she couldn't find her match. She wasn't sure if it was because her sm wasn't of age yet or if her sm lived far away. For 2 years Violet also paniced but she knew that some people don't find their sm for 5-10 years after they come of age, so she wasn't as scared as Harper. One day though, they feel their tattoos start to tingle. ____________________________________ *Will they be happy with who their soulmate turns out to be? *Will they recognize each other? *Will they be happy? *Will they break apart? -Read to find out. :) ____________________________________ This book is rated mature because there is a lot of talk of depression and self harm.

When life gives you lemons, throw it back and demand chocolate. '"Sweet baby Satan!" I screamed, accidentally gaining the attention of the murderers. Act natural, Arya. "Did you just shoot them?!" I mentally face-palmed. So much for acting natural, "Why did you do that? Holy cheese balls that's a lot of blood." I swallowed, willing my legs to do something goddammit. But they refused to cooperate. ' Arya McKenzie is a bright seventeen year old with a knack of getting into trouble. Her only friend is her younger brother. One day, Arya was walking home- completely soaked- when she decides to take a shortcut through an alleyway. Bad idea. She sees five scary boys kill three other slightly-less-scary men. Instead of running away or screaming like a normal person, she begins to ramble to said five scary boys. Instead of letting her go, however, they kidnap her. Rude.
