In "The Gift of the Snowflake," a heartwarming tale set in a quaint village dusted with the season's first snow, magic and reality intertwine to reveal the profound power of small acts of kindness. When a unique, glowing snowflake-a winter spirit's loving whisper-lands on the glove of a young, unassuming girl, it ignites a transformation within her and around her.
Embraced by an inexplicable warmth, she becomes an unsuspecting harbinger of love and connection. Her simple, daily gestures-sharing stories, offering a listening ear, and bestowing genuine smiles-begin to weave a tapestry of communal warmth in a place once marked by cold distances.
This enchanting story beautifully illustrates how a single, magical moment can resonate through a community, turning the chill of winter into a warm embrace of togetherness. "The Gift of the Snowflake" is a celebration of the holiday spirit, reminding us that the greatest gift is often found in heartfelt human connections and the joy of spreading kindness.

Snowflake
Snowflake is my first novel. Sloan is like most teenagers, awkward, funny and just a tad bit dramatic. Or at least how I was (still am) as a teenager. She lives with her parents Vincent and George, the owners of a big makeup company, in busy San Francisco. She is a Junior in high school who begins to blossom into someone that can actually hold a conversation for more than five minutes. Later developing feelings for her first ever crush. Or as she would describe it "a person she does not find particularly ugly and would not mind spending some time with, eventually". My book is a story written by an introverted teenager about another introverted teenager, in the most honest, (hopefully funny), and loving way possible. I hope you can give it a chance.Complete

Twenty-four days. That's how long it took me to fall in love. Pretty impressive, since for the first twenty-three days all I had to fall in love with were little presents slipped into my locker. [#81 teen fiction / #1 holidays] NOTE - I wrote this book at 14 so the characters are 15-16 year olds. This is your warning so you don't have to be surprised/disappointed when their ages are mentioned! Thanks!Complete
Once upon a Christmas Eve
What if a single act of kindness on Christmas Eve becomes someone's reason to live? Something like this happened years ago with a ten-year-old Sebastian: homeless, starving, and alone, when a eight-years-old little girl gave him her Christmas present money and her pendant so he could buy food and a coat to survive the biting cold. That one act of kindness gave Sebastian a hope that had long died within him with his parents. And today, years later, that hungry boy has become a powerful businessman. Yet every day, he searches for that girl: Bella, to thank her and return her pendant. But fate plays strange games... the Bella he has been searching for everywhere is closer than he thinks. Will he ever find her? To know, read my book. As destiny begins to weave its magic, will their paths cross again? And if they do, what words could possibly express the gratitude, the longing, and the love that has grown in his heart? This heartwarming tale of kindness, gratitude, and the power of second chances will remind you that even the smallest acts can change a life forever. A story of resilience, kindness, and the magic of Christmas, this tale reminds us that even in the coldest moments, the smallest gestures can light the way home.Complete

Snowflakes (Jack Frost x Reader)
*HIGHEST RANKING: #1 in Jack Frost and #3 in snowflakes** "Who are you, and why the heck are you in my house?!" You ask the boy, pointing your hairbrush at him. Like a hairbrush will do anything, right? The boy didn't seem to be armed with any weapons, but he did carry a wooden staff that hooked at the end. You eyed him carefully. But the boy was taken aback. "You can see me?!" He asked, almost in disbelief. You raised an eyebrow, "..Yes?.. You're not exactly hiding very well if this is hide n' seek," you stated back at him. "She can see me.." he said to himself, almost in shock, and then his face broke into an endless smile, "She can see me!" The boy did a backflip, which you admitted was impressive because you can't even do a cartwheel, and he landed back on his bare feet. "Sorry to interrupt this.. reunion you're having with yourself but, am I not supposed to see you, or?..." You trail off, but he understood you perfectly, almost as if he's gotten this question before before. You still had your guard up. "Okay, so I'm not exactly.. Human.. or alive.. Well I'm here but I'm not alive because I'm a Winter spirit. I make winter!" He stated. You both stared at each other for a minute or two in complete silence. Then you blinked. Twice even. "Uh.. What? A winter spirit?" He nodded, "Oh, like Jack Frost?" He smirked, and almost started laughing as he crossed his arms, "Snowflake, I am Jack Frost," ~*~ Y/n has had a troubled past, starting with her family passing away and having no friends, she lives alone in her house as a 16 year old girl. But when Pitch Black is back, she and the Guardians have to find a way to defeat him (again).
