The Blue Heron oleh howardmoore1

The population of central Louisiana’s swamplands swelter under the oppressive blanket of an unusually hot, humid and steamy summer; the unrelenting heat and humidity increase the pressure cooker like atmosphere, its duration and intensity is unheard of. The primeval richness and natural beauty of the humid untamed landscapes of the central Louisianan swamplands contrast starkly with its other dark characteristics. These being of perceived menace and disease which are interwoven in local culture and folklore with myths and legends that depict ghosts, spirits and supernatural evil. It is possible that these opposing characteristics of the central Louisianan swamplands mirror the opposing dark and light elements of my character which are in a continual struggle, one to dominate the other, and as such reveals itself as the backdrop to the story.

Lies Left Unsaid oleh B_Ander

"The fact that I was murdered didn't come as a surprise; it was the fact that it hadn't happened sooner which shocked me." High school senior, Caitlyn Coates, has everything going for her; she's beautiful, brilliant and rich. With just a month until graduation, and her acceptance to Yale confirmed, she should be celebrating, but that's a little hard to do, seeing as how she's...dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's most popular student is her pinky finger, a clump of hair and a red silk thong. The disappearance of the wealthy teen girl with the bright future has sent shock waves through Highland Park, an upscale suburb of Chicago. It's up to hard-headed police force veteran, Detective Brandon, to unravel the truth. But in a town where everyone has a secret to keep and a motive for murder, solving Caitlyn's case will be filled with challenges, including a new rookie partner and the constant media attention due to the nation's obsession over all the morbid details surrounding Caitlyn's demise. Told from each character's point of view (including the deceased), the mystery surrounding Caitlyn Coates' murder may be just as mysterious as Caitlyn herself. It appears, in Highland Park, the truth is seldom what it seems. As Detective Brandon gets closer and closer to solving the case, he realizes that the most dangerous type of lie isn't the one that is told, but the one left unsaid.

Perhaps things would have turned out differently. Maybe I could have avoided what was to come. Maybe it's a game life wanted me to play, and there's no forfeiting or escaping. I simply have to follow the rules and hopefully make it to the final round, even if that means that I'll be buried six feet underground like him. __________________________________ "Things happen when you least expect them, whether they're good or bad, and in my case, it was everything and more."- Linda Smith Linda Smith, in a million years, never expected her life to take a crazy turn.

White Lies (Book 1) oleh help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.
