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.

With Or Without You (Completed)
Oliver looked on amazed as his witch dipped a little backwards, his hand still had a light grip on her upper arm. To an onlooker it would seem like they were in the midst of a slow dance. Oliver kept on watching as her lips uplifted themselves into a pleased smile. Her nose crinkled as another snowflake joined the first one. Her one had stretched out to catch the shiny, multicolored cloud particles. Soon, her woolen cap also got decorated with snow. She sighed out a smokey breath with her eyes fluttering close in the bliss of this moment. And the sight took Oliver's breath away. 'You...,' Oliver mumbled, 'You look...' 'What?' Elli hummed closing her eyes, the smile was still there and so was her addictive bliss. Oliver didn't know his mouth had parted open slightly, he felt a thirst like never before engulfing his very being. 'You look...,' He tried again, a lump was forming in his throat. Hearts beat in rhythm and they beat together fast, it was as if they would keep it up like that until they could combust hand in hand. But Oliver forced himself to return back to reality. Getting a grip of himself, he finished his dangerous sentence finally. 'You look like Santa Claus!' Or what else? Oliver mentally chastised himself for even thinking of saying it aloud that she looked beautiful indeed, absolutely gorgeous, like an angel of mischief, a true witch - a white, beautiful one in that case. He couldn't risk saying all that to her and inflate her already oversize ego bag, he couldn't bear having her walk all over him in pride and... whatever. Elli gasped and stood straighter now, her outstretched hand in it's own accord landed straight on his chest, right over his heart in a - what was supposed be a punishing slap. Oliver hissed. 'This acidity!' *You're Still The One, Book 3* ~~It's difficult for them to be with each other, but then, it's also difficult for them to be without each other. ~~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.

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
