Hailed as “One of the best technical painters of our time” by an L.A. Times critic, 27-year-old Aubrey Johnson is finally gaining traction with her work. But as she weaves through what should be a celebration of her art, a single nagging echo of her doctor’s words refuses to stay silent—there is no cure. In less than eight weeks Aubrey is going blind.
Traveling on a one-way ticket around the world with childhood friend Jeff Anderson, Aubrey is in complete denial. But a blindfolded game of tasting foreign foods in China jolts her into confronting the reality of her situation. So begins her quest.
In this adult coming-of-age story, Aubrey struggles to make sense of her crippling diagnosis. But on her journey she finds a deeper understanding of herself and her life—sometimes fragmented and complex, but always with relentless truth.

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence.

It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsComplete

Bluer than the blue sky
Bluer Than the Blue Sky is a quiet, introspective journey through the heart of a teenage boy who sees the world from the shadows-watching, thinking, and feeling more than he lets on. After a bittersweet first love that left him emotionally scarred, he becomes withdrawn, a loner who finds peace in writing, guitar strings, and silent skies. But everything shifts when his younger sister ends up in the same class, along with two girls Jina, full of light and laughter, and Marceline Amaris, a soft-spoken, nerdy girl with Iron deficiency and eyes that seem to read between the lines. As the boy tries to keep his distance, he finds himself drawn to Marceline's quiet presence and the way she carries her own kind of silence like a song only he can hear. This story captures the ache of unspoken feelings, the confusion of emotional growth, and the slow realization that some people enter your life not to fix you but to reflect the parts of you that you've forgotten how to see. A tale about solitude, subtle bonds, and the search for something unnamed, Bluer Than the Blue Sky asks the question: how do you move forward when love and sorrow feel the same?Complete

FADING COLORS
___ Emery Hayes moved to the quaint coastal town of Blue Harbor to find inspiration for her debut novel. At twenty, with a notebook always in hand and a heart full of stories, she spends her days writing in the sun-soaked corner of the local café and wandering along the rocky shoreline. Eli Whitaker, a twenty-year-old painter with a quiet soul, has called Blue Harbor home his entire life. He paints in the old greenhouse behind his grandmother's cottage, transforming glass walls into windows of color and light. His art is raw and untamed, much like the wildflowers that surround his makeshift studio. Their paths cross when Emery, seeking refuge from a sudden storm, stumbles into the greenhouse. Captivated by Eli's art, she offers to write a feature on him for the town's small magazine, hoping it will break her writer's block. He agrees reluctantly, his guarded nature clashing with her open curiosity. ___ WRITTEN: 2/2/25 PUBLISHED: 2/2/25 FINISHED: 2/22/25 © scarlett0patry, 2025Complete
