Gemstone Academy: Diamond Class
*Note* Read the First Book before this one: Gemstone Academy. My jaw dropped. What was this? What did it mean? There, written on the wall in spray paint, were the words. "∂σωи ωιтн тнє Αиgєℓѕ" ---- Elizabeth survived her first year at Gemstone Academy, but she has found that her second year is going to be even harder. Thrown into the world of the night, Elizabeth doesn't understand a lot of things, especially how to be an Angel, or how to hold on to her own crown that seems to be slipping, making the appeal to marry Lazarus even more tempting, if only it weren't for Dario, the very enchanting vampire she met last year. On top of everything else there's a revolution brewing amongst the Mythical creatures, and it's against her. Elizabeth and her friends need to stand up for themselves, or else they're going to be crushed under the weight of the world.Complete
Humor On High: Clean Jokes and Funny Stories
I have a soft spot for clean and funny jokes. Perhaps you do too. I have slowly been collecting things that I found particularly humorous. Most of these are not mine, although a few are. Some chapters are just images, and will have (images) in the chapter title. A new chapter every Monday. Enjoy. :) I kindly request that people refrain from swearing in my books. The English language is huge, and many other things can be used instead. I don't mind things like shit, blast it, or fuzzy bunny slippers, but I can't stand the f-bomb or when people insult female dogs. If people want to vent, why not do it more creatively? Nicky manages it quite well in The Virus Within. The lovely cover was made by @Ellie6880!Complete
Hell Hall
High School. A virtual hell to every pimple covered, greasy haired, knowledge loving kid who walks the halls of the institution. Only a very proud few manage to rise among the ranks to become "the cool kids," snagging the lucky fate of living the best years of their lives up through the twelfth grade. We'll just not tell them what happens after they graduate. In ten years, when the kid the football team swirlied is their boss, they'll realize that it probably would have been better to not be cool when they were teens. But that doesn't matter now. Why you ask? I'll tell you. My name is Bridge, which isn't short for Bridgette, if you were wondering. My parents were assholes when they were younger, I guess. It could have been worse; at least I'm not a piece of fruit or an airline. Unique names can kiss my little undead butt. Oh yeah, that. I'm also dead. No need to apologize—it's not your fault, unless you're the pile of crap who murdered me. If so, could you fill me in on what happened? I'd really like to know how my life ended. The last thing I remember is going out for a milkshake and then, poof! I was here. Where is here, you ask? If you ask any of the adults, it's Harrison's Preparatory Institution for the Gifted and Unknown. If you ask any of the students, it's Hell Hall. That's right, bitches; high school is now back in session.Complete
The Robber Knight's Protege
**This is fan fiction for Rob Thier's Robber Knight series** It has been twelve years since the Margrave von Falkenstein's armies threatened to destroy Luntberg. Back then, Fye was a little girl who could only stand in awe of the battle prowess of the great Sir Reuben (and occasionally jab her enemies with a stick). Now Fye is all grown-up and as feisty as ever. When a neighboring fiefdom decides to host a tournament, Sir Reuben "convinces" the host lord to allow Fye to participate. Will she win and achieve her dream of becoming a knight like Sir Reuben? Or will she end up embarrassing herself, her teacher, and her liege lady? More importantly, will she fall for Sir Reuben's handsome squire? ****I'm not a historian, so there may be some historical inaccuracies in here, but hopefully there won't be too many egregious errors****Complete
