Past the bluebonnets, armadillo's and overabundance of tumbleweeds; resides a small Texas town named Cork.  Set within the heart of the Lone Star State, come and take a look at small town life.  The quaint corner pharmacy, a post office with unsettling confrontations, neighbors with porches for evening "shows" produced by people who live on their street and local personalities of every sort.

Meet Starr, a mother of two boys, dealing with autism the best she can while reminiscing about a past love that refuses to stay in the rearview mirror.  A hairdresser by day, she keeps her superhero special needs parent cape hidden within her drawers of rollers; she stands ready to protect her boys from everything, including the man from her younger days that have her wishing for a simpler time.

Josiah, retired military, and currently on the hunt for the elusive ex-girlfriend.  As a youth, bound by honor, courage and commitment; those days are far behind.  Decisions were made, and those core values were thrust upon his young shoulders and now looking for redemption, he seeks the prize tossed aside so many years ago.

Welcome to Cork! Can Starr and Josiah rekindle what was lost? Can Josiah understand the need required for being an autism parent? Or will Starr throw it all away before she figures the need of starry nights and chiggers in her life?

The Best Kept Secret!, écrit par writersosa
7 chapitres Terminé Contenu pour adultes
They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?

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 ~

Teen Idols And Happy Meals, écrit par CaitlynTheresa

In a small New England town there lives a girl. A quirky, spirited McDonald’s cashier named Nikki Davenport. As a charismatic drama freak, she should’ve lived a happy, carefree life – just like any other teenager. But, plagued by money problems, Nikki’s been forced to enter a dark, sinister world in her attempts to support her family. The last thing she wants is more excitement. In that same town though, there is a boy. A beautiful, awful boy who lives and dies for excitement. As an A-list celebrity, seventeen year old Jacen Sage finds just about everything hopelessly boring. Things that he once found fun, have now lost their appeal. The only thing that interests him anymore is starting trouble. If he’s doing what he’s supposed to, he’s not doing what he wants. Terribly reckless, Jacen only feels alive when he’s about to die. No matter their identical zip codes, the two live in totally different worlds, and probably would’ve never met if not for Jacen’s infatuation with chicken nuggets. As soon as he walks into McDonalds that first day, Nikki knows there’s more to this boy than designer clothes and a pretty face. She’s drawn to him, but she denies it, no matter how many times he orders a happy meal from her. After all, the last thing she has time for is an obsession. But how can you deny fate when it won’t leave you the hell alone? After the teen idol sacrifices himself to save her, Nikki realizes there’s much more to Jacen than meets the eye. Quickly, the two are snatched up in a passionate, whirlwind romance. But Jacen’s dark, terrible past and Nikki’s ugly business aren’t the only things standing in the lovers' way. People have been disappearing left and right all over town, and the only connection between the missing girls is Jacen himself. Does the young star have a darker side than even Nikki realizes, or are the strange gifts he's been receiving a sign that he's just another victim?
The Maddiverse Saga, écrit par DocZoidberg71
15 chapitres En cours d'écriture
Taking place primarily in a reimagined version of Springfield, the world of The Simpsons, The Maddiverse began as a world imagined while I endured cancer treatment, recognizing the toll my unexpected illness was taking on my children and searching for a way to bring joy to their lives. The Maddiverse Saga is, at its core, a love letter to my 13 year old daughter, Maddi. We have come to understand our Autistic Love Language of Special Interests, a term used to describe the narrow but deep set of interests we have. Considering Maddi's evolution of Special Interests spawned the idea to turn my drawings into a multiversal tribute to not only Maddi, but to the Autistic Community altogether. The way we invest ourselves in our Special Interests makes us a wealth of knowledge on those topics - sometimes leading to ridicule for being so invested in things which may appear as trivial to neurotypical outsiders, but are anything but trivial to us. In a world which often greets autistics with rejection, escaping to imaginative fantasy worlds is a common way to escape. Fans of The Simpsons will find humor in the easter eggs dropped throughout The Maddiverse. To readers who are autistic and feel unseen - I hope this book's manifestation of the autistic imagination empowers you with a sense of belonging. Ultimately, though, I wrote this book to serve an audience of one. Maddi: this book is for you. I have mapped out this story with you at its center. I'll continue weaving the tale my imagination has conjured just for you throughout this year. I have planned exciting twists & turns which this saga will take us on this year, and I am so happy to have you join me on this ride. Keep reading to see what is around each corner. Will it be more danger for Maddi and her team of allies? Is it another shocking twist which turns the story on its head? Or will another of your beloved Special Interests mysteriously find its way through the portal into the Maddiverse?
