Cameron Adele wasn't born deaf, but Elois Limboe was. After months of being apart, the two are brought back together, only this time, the tables have turned. Elois has gotten cochlear implants, and Cameron lost her mother and her hearing in an accident, while her younger sister remains in a comatose state. Cameron has lost Elois once before, and she's lost so much more along the way. This time, she is unwilling to give up. This story follows Cameron's journey as she comes to terms with herself and what it really means to be deaf. In a world where labels such as "Disabled" are stuck onto her, Cameron begins to believe it herself. It takes Elois, Family, Friends, and a little bit of light to show Cameron that her disability gives her abilities that "Normal" people could never dream to have.  "A Different World" is a story of acceptance and recovery and the struggles of adapting to new worlds.

[FULL KELS SERIES] When Ande wakes up on the bottom of the ocean with a fish's tail, she's not sure what she did wrong. Getting sacrificed by her island is a likely bet, but why---and why her---is a mystery. Out of her depth in an unfamiliar world, she soon finds herself wrapped up in the society of the Kels, the people who live under the sea. Desperate to get back to her island, she strikes an agreement with a squid-tailed boy whose sunny smile and knowledge of her language are a welcome assistance at first. Soon, though, she begins to sense that he's hiding something. Things take a turn for the worse when her way home gets complicated by the Kels' wars and several eerie myths about her people that may not be myths at all. The history of the Kels goes back farther than her own culture, and the harder she struggles to get back to land, the more the question arises: Does she belong in the water after all? ❖❖❖ Marked mature for darker themes and scenes, not spicy content.

flashback when you met me your buzzcut and my hair bleached... ---- When English Actress Kaia Browne decides to attend the Met Gala, she never expected to meet international superstar Taylor Swift, let alone becoming her friend when they notice they have more than one thing in common. Now, Kaia realises she's quite fond of the singer and sees in her something the rest of the world could never quite see. She can't seem to let go of Taylor as her life on the other hand begins to spiral in ways she never thought could ever happen. Follow Taylor and Kaia as they try to navigate through the complicated life of fame, friendship, and maybe more...? * Rated R for mature content and language. * cw // mentions of ED This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for the obvious real famous people. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it! Frequent updates!

There is one day in every person's mind that will forever be engraved into their memory. For some it's good, for others it's bad. For Cameron, it was bad. Convinced her voice was the reason her mother had died, she refused to ever talk again, resulting in her classmates ostracizing her as a mute freak. After years of silence, Cameron and her father move towns in hopes of her making new friends and better memories. On her first day in her new home, she meets her new neighbor Venus, and it's love at first sight. With mixed signals thrown all over the place, Cameron ponders thoughts she never imagined she'd need to think over. Like why is Venus trying to get to know her better? Why does Venus treat her like she's the most important person in the world? And why is it that no matter how many times she tries to convince herself she can't be with Venus, she only ever thinks about her? #1 in LGBT 1/5/20

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]

Blurb 'The first thing she could hear was nothing at all and it's all she's ever heard since she was born.' '10 hours of surgery after that but even when they told him all was fine, he couldn't bring himself to talk anymore and from that day foreword, no one ever talked to him again because they knew he couldn't talk at all.' Both of these kids have had rough lives and it's where the story begins. They're both opposites, Ben's a boy and Lulu's a girl, he can't talk and she can't hear, he's black and she's white and they both have different families. But both of them have been bullied and both of them are sick of being what others would call 'special'. So it's no surprise that when they first meet, they are dawn to each other but what the surprise is was that they seem to be healing each time they're near in contact. With a close friendship blossoming into something more pure than love, will Lu finally be able to hear the voice that Ben keeps only for her ears?
