Brothers
Older brothers. I have more than people could handle. I have 8 brothers. Well one is my twin, but surprise surprise he likes to make it known that he is older. Sometimes it sucks being the only girl, but I wouldn't change it for the world. My name is Alora. I am 14 years old and a freshmen in high school. People think that my family is perfect and that we have never had anything bad happen to us. We lost our mom over 9 years ago. I also had something bad happen to me, but I will get into more detail in the story. This book is just for fun. And this book is inspired by so many people, so if something seems similar tell me so I can give credit, but I would love to give a few books that inspired me to write this are "I'm a Costello," by _crazy_hooman_ , "The Storm's Return," by Cocomazza, "Our Little Moon" by nunu110383, and finally "Resilience" by liswatiii. I could still go on about amazing books and writers, but these are just a few that are my personal favorites ( even if you don't like them this is just my opinion). #1 In dead mom! -May 2022 #1 in protective older brothers!- March 2023
A Kiss Under The Kismet Tree
The letters had strangely stopped from my long-time American pen pal, until I got another letter to explain the sad reason why. Devastated to learn that Sara had tragically died, I could only mourn her untimely death and her faraway loss. Now, the long-distance letters have slowly began to arrive back through my door, just as they used to before. They are now coming from the brother of Sara...the one who first wrote to me about the truly sad passing of his sister. One word at a time, this man is beginning to intrigue me. One word at a time, he is making me want to read more from him. But Cary Dean lives in New England, and I live by the sea in Dorset. I can't let him intrigue me. I can't want to read more of his words. I'm Rosa Summers - a hopeless romantic who is totally hopeless with all things romantic, and yet, Cary Dean is managing to write his way deep into my heart, and with Christmas just around the corner, I can't let my silly heart run away with itself. Christmas is all about kindness and laughter. It's about sharing goodwill and spreading joy.... it's not about falling for someone I can't ever be with. But the magical spirit of Christmas... well, let's just say it has other ideas! A KISS UNDER THE KISMET TREE Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2018 K B MallionComplete

Dead on Arrival - Resurrected by Grace
I love the beginnings of stories. Whether it be a book or a movie, I enjoy the opening scenes the most. Because they hold all the promises of what is to come; unburdened by commitment or baggage. Beginnings are full of hope. This story is an exception. Because the beginning of it is a sad one. It's the ending, however, that makes this story worthwhile. It's been several years since these events occurred and I have spent the majority of that time contemplating how best to share this story. Why? Because stories are important and everyone has one. This one is mine...Complete
