Ghosts of People Past by TeddieTzo

Ghosts of People Past begins with a series of mysterious events that happen to fifty-year-old Nora one snowy night in a remote mountain village of Western Macedonia, Greece. Upon returning home from a cousin’s funeral, she finds an email on her computer from the Algerian archaeology student she once nearly loved to death. This triggers off a surge of memories and reopens unresolved issues with her past, the closure she never got and the guilty secrets she has harbored. With the help of a bottle of whisky and her resurrected cat, she begins to dust off her memories and starts to write her life story determined to finish it in one night before it is too late. From Boston to Thessaloniki and from Rome to Algeria she narrates the events of her life that stigmatized her forever: her expulsion from her home in Boston by her parents, the cultural shock of moving to Greece, her doomed love for a Muslim student in the hard and gloomy years of the Greek dictatorship in Greece. Her communication with her ex-boyfriend via MSN unravels on a second plane of narration and leads to dramatic revelations which force Nora to face a past she has spent years struggling to forget. The dimensions of time mesh in a strange game of alternating reality and fantasy right up to the books cathartic end. You can find me at:

The Hell of the Nine Realms: Book 1: The Mystery of the Odinsons by DaveAllenJr

Experience this adventure through the eyes of Raelin Connelly, daughter of Thor, as she trains with her lifelong friend David Reeves - Son of Odin. However, things are not as they seem, as Raelin comes to see. David has gotten much more powerful over the last four years due to training in the Original Universe. But that's still not it. There's something different she hasn't seen in him before. He seems to be becoming darker and more... Animalistic. And if that wasn't enough, a giant serpent seems to be terrorizing her school. Will Raelin and the others solve this mystery in time? Or will all crash and die? NOTE: This story is written, for the most part, in English. But there will be times certain people (mostly David, Lizzy, Jamie, and supernatural beings) will speak in different languages. These different forms of dialect will normally be either Norwegian, Old Norse, Greek, or Ancient Greek. NOTE: If this reminds you of anything, you are correct. This story (like 50 Shades of Grey (can't believe I'm mentioning that)) started out as fan fiction, as did the sequel story, before it began to evolve into its own thing by the end of the sequel.

Mistletoe by siLv3ryG0ld

One sentence can change everything. Furthermore one sentence can determine your role. Friend? Or stranger? May made a mistake in her 2nd year of middle school. She accidentally told Drew something she shouldn't have. And then she lied to him, causing him to change into the man he is now. They are now in highshcool. But they are farther apart than the Sun and Earth. Their paths haven't crossed since then...and it seems like, they will never cross again. But some people just wouldn't let it end there. So what now? {completed and currently under construction for grammar mistakes/errors and need of revising and editing. Still alright to read tho ;)}

Amaranthine - [ epic fanfic ] by alyx-is-on-haitus

"You were a princess. A princess behaves. So, you pressed your lips together until they were thin and pale, nodded stiffly, and let the weight of his words settle over you. Still, as the servants poured more wine and the conversation turned to other matters, you couldn't stop your mind from wandering. Somewhere across the sea, a boy you'd never met was being told that you would be his bride. Was he just as disgusted? Just as helpless? Or was he laughing with excitement, eager for the day when he could claim his prize? The thought made your cheeks burn with something that wasn't quite anger, wasn't quite embarrassment. Whatever it was, you didn't like it." --- Or, where you are betrothed to Prince Telemachus of Ithaca.
