The Wrong Girl
It's customary for Gothic romance novels to include a mysterious girl locked in the attic. Hannah Smith just wishes she wasn't that girl. As a narcoleptic and the companion to an earl's daughter with a strange affliction of her own, Hannah knows she's lucky to have a roof over her head and food in her belly when so many orphans starve on the streets. Yet freedom is something Hannah longs for. She did not, however, want her freedom to arrive in the form of kidnapping. Taken by handsome Jack Langley to a place known as Freak House, she finds herself under the same roof as a mad scientist, his niece, a mute servant and Jack, a fire starter with a mysterious past. They assure Hannah she is not a prisoner and that they want to help her. The problem is, they think she's the earl's daughter. What will they do when they discover they took the wrong girl? A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: When I set out to write the Freak House series, I wanted to put my own spin on the Gothic novels of the Victorian era. I've always loved their creepiness, the secrets, and the romance too, but I wanted to see the story from the perspective of the character that is often present but never the heroine - the girl kept in the attic. I hope you'll enjoy this trilogy as much as I enjoyed writing it.Concluida

All I remember after that was darkness and a feeling like I was falling into a hole that had no bottom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I woke up I couldn't move, it was like I was paralyzed. Slowly I started to move my toes then my legs and arms till finally I opened my eyes. "Ahhhh! Someone dim the lights!" "Oh sorry miss", a man said to me he was dressed like a doctor but he looked to be in his 20's. "Who are you an where am I.", I asked the stranger. "I'm the pack doctor and..." After that I was out cold and I told myself "wow I really need to stop doing that."Concluida

Layla is delivered to Tye's doorstep. Being unwelcome in her former home, due to Tye's new relationship causes her to be out on the street with nowhere to go. It doesn't take long for trouble to find her again. She faces issues with Luke's brother Levi. He had gone from being a friend, to wanting to kill her.

I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as I enjoyed writing it. *All images featured in the book were created using Canva.Concluida
Tiny Tales | ✔️
This book is a collection of numerous short stories I have created, both mini and midi ones, written in the period of the past twenty years. Some of them are award-winning entries in various micronarrative competitions. Others were adapted with the usage of audio and video stimuli thus creating something akin to hyperliterature. The book cover was done by a Wattpad user and a friend, @AWFrasier. Thank you for designing my cover (again! :)) and at such a lightning speed! Tiny Tales is ONLY available on Wattpad. If you are reading this anywhere else, it is a plagiarized version that may contain malware. ⭐⭐⭐ 📘 Featured on "Multi-Genre Anthologies" reading list on @WattpadAnthologies (June 16, 2020) 📘 Featured on "Anthologies and collections" reading list on @MicroBytes (July 14, 2019) 🥉 Microbytes Contests and Challenges - Winter Nanofiction Contest 2019 Highest rankings: #14 microfiction (June 29th, 2020)Concluida
