Julianna grew up in a foster home, mocked and shunned for her early childhood obsession with imaginary friends. At 15, she discovers a man is looking to adopt her. Terrified and mentally ill, she decides her only option is to run away. To escape. 
The next day, she wakes up on some dirty trail leading to what seems to be a circus. What does she find? Those imaginary friends she abandoned years ago. Except, they are real. They are all real kids like her who were suffering, so they escaped to the Lost Circus. Run by the mysterious Ringmaster, the kids enjoy their mostly worry-free life. Their only worry is avoiding the ghastly Nicole, a woman who for reasons unknown to them wishes to take them away from the circus.

Journey Back To Me: Learning to live with Borderline Personality Disorder by AuthorJRyan

Lying to avoid explaining the millions of conflicting emotions that dance inside, set aflame. Ringmaster is always unbalanced-not sure how to feel and heal. He never learned how to process despair, too busy to sit with the emotions, care for them, validate them. He pretends to be strong, pushes through the day because no one cares as much as he does. Now you can find out what it is like to survive yourself. In the mental breakdown state of her mind, the emotionally broken girl copes with life's hardships in a cognitive capacity of a modern non-traditional circus. Based on true-life events, my 73,459-word fiction novel is based on real experiences living with borderline personality disorder. A Journey Back to Me: Learning to live with Borderline Personality Disorder is where Ringmaster and the circus performers take the audience on an adventure through mental illness. My book takes place at Planet Janet, a fantasy circus in which the Ringmaster interacts with each performance while interweaving my personal experiences of coping and living with the daily struggles of depression, rage, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationships. Each performer at the circus has a specific act that correlates with how I dealt with each situation.

If the circus fails, he dies. Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?

The Misfortune of Distorted Truth by MadelindaScarlett

A twelve-year-old girl named M's life is turned upside down when a mysterious boy drags her into an underground world, where magic and treasure await. But there's something lurking in the shadows that could put M's life and everything she loves at risk. **UNEDITED** (Please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors, these are completely accidental and do not reflect my writing and English skills) If you read the story, I'll love you forever, except I won't because that would be just a little bit creepy. Please leave me a comment somewhere if you believe this story should be rated mature. I'm not entirely certain myself. The first of 'The Misfortune' trilogy.
