'Remember that the sun is watching over you always.'
From the view of a grassy hill, Tristan Edmond looks down the end of his life as he knows it.
Labeled as a dangerous arsonist, with little to no choice, Tristan is shipped off to Lone Pine. A Therapeutic boarding school that is designed to be a dumping ground for the unwanted.
There he finds a boy obsessed with space and other odd characters. All desperate to escape the walls of the school.
All Tristan has to do is serve 12 months and he will be free, but this proves to be an impossible task.
Will he and the others be able to save themselves from the school's wrath before it's too late?

RUNe
Cerridwen writes poetry because poems don't ask questions. People do. For years, she has survived by keeping her secrets hidden. At school, she's quiet and forgettable. At home, she's trapped in a reality she never speaks about. The only escape she has is the poetry she pours onto paper under the name Hermit. Only one person knows the truth. Tristan has always been there to help her endure. To stay silent. To survive. Then Ash arrives. Where Tristan encourages silence, Ash asks questions. Where Tristan teaches her to endure, Ash wants her to fight back. As the fragile world Cerri has built begins to crack, she finds herself torn between the comfort of what she's always known and the terrifying possibility of something different. With her poetry as both refuge and confession, Cerri must confront the question she's spent her whole life avoiding: What does healthy love look like when every example she's ever had was distorted? Will she continue hiding her RuNeS? Or will she finally RUN? My name is Cerridwen. And this is my poetry.Complete

[CANCELLED AND MOVED] "Were you able to get out of bed this morning?" he asked, staring into the water. His voice was soothing, with the rasp of a fire. "I..." My breathing spiked. "I don't remember. I think so. I'm here now, right?" "But did you have the will?" ***I will also be posting this story on Royal Road from now onComplete

Dance in Shadow and Whisper (Marionettes of Myth #1)
Kali has always been obedient, but when she takes her first step onto a protected “humans only” high school in suburban Pittsburgh, she knows she was the wrong choice for this mission. Ever since the murder of her parents when she was too young to remember, she’s been sheltered – and trained. She can swing a sword with expert precision, but studying popular human teen magazines hasn’t taught her how to masquerade as seventeen years old. Jason is the target of the mission. She and Yuuhi, who was also designated by his own people to be her partner, must find solid proof that Jason is, in fact, a supernatural phenomenon. Yuuhi sees little more than a socially inept emo kid dressed in conflicting shades of black, but Kali only touches Jason’s hand, and she feels the sting of something dark and deadly. Jason’s shadow is bigger than he is, and if the leaders of Yuuhi’s people find out, Jason won’t be human much longer. The goal of the mission is to protect him, but Kali will find that the only way she can do just that is to break every rule she’s been conditioned to follow. She’ll have to learn how to disobey. Beginning with Kali’s point of view and then shifting to the eyes of other characters, the Marionettes of Myth series introduces Pittsburgh as a superhuman metropolis, a world both wild and conquered by the monsters buried in its seams and darkest shadows. And those monsters will be watching her. ♦ Completed! ♦ [Copyright © 2013 Sarah Godfrey & Victoria DeRubeis] (All current books in the series are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format.

A promise
Jackie Jones. The outcast. The misunderstood. The victim. Jackie's life has never been easy. Raised by a mother who never wanted her and a father who betrayed her trust in the worst ways, Jackie was sent away to a boarding school as her only escape. When her troubled past surfaces, rumors spread about her-whispers that accuse her of things she never did, things that no one bothered to understand. She's been judged, pushed aside, and blamed for things beyond her control. But there's one promise Jackie made to herself: "Keep your chin up high." And no matter the hurt, no matter the false accusations, she keeps that promise. She's been the unwanted one for so long, surrounded by others who feel just as isolated, until one person changes everything. Hartley Red. Sent to boarding school for reasons he keeps to himself, Hartley meets Jackie. Strong, resilient, and fierce, he can't help but notice her. Despite the harsh treatment she faces, she holds her head high, a quiet strength in the face of it all. He watches from a distance, wondering what it is that keeps her going, and before he knows it, a bond starts to form between them-a connection that surprises even him. As they navigate the challenges of their own painful histories, they begin to realize they may not be as alone as they once thought. In a world full of judgment, can they find the strength to rise above it all?
My Dad's Friend (Boyslove)
I stared, I gulped, my heart skipped a beat, my stomach twisted and I can feel the butterflies, a linger and a cold chill ran and travelled through my vein, flowing through my blood like lava. The man before me was heavenly, I could barely look away. From the way his dark grey orbs stared back at me to the way his jet black hair fell spikingly on his shoulder, my whole body shuddered uncontrollably from the sensation growing in my system. My eyes trailed up to his sharp jawline, his straight pointed nose, his tick, long eyebrows and eyelashes to his sinful, tempting, luscious lips. Consciously, I ran a over my lips but the sound of my dad clearing his throat pulled me out from my trace as a slightly jerked, feeling electrified. "Tristan, I went you to meet my friend, Dr Sean" My dad introduced the sexy, demigod man with that sinful body of his. I quivered again. "Sean, meet my son Tristan" Dad introduced me but my eyes remained cemented on him and I could swore I saw a spark in those dark orbs but it was gone as soon as it came, making me doubt if I really saw it. I watched him run his over his reddish, luring lips while his ran down my body, making my inside burn with a sudden fire I had never felt before...and then, he spoke.... "Nice to meet you kitten" And from that moment no, I knew it was over for my heart. From that moment I knew I was in love with MY FATHER'S FRIEND!Complete
