THEY'RE CALLED OBSERVERS. THE ONES WHO WATCH US THROUGHOUT OUR ADOLESCENT LIVES. FROM THE MOMENT WE'RE BORN, TO THE MOMENT WE TURN NINETEEN. They analyze every action and decision we make. Making sure they factor in everything. BY THE TIME OF OUR NINETEENTH BIRTHDAY, THEY KNOW US BETTER THAN WE DO. They have us take one final test. Then, the place us into our perfect little life that we will live out forever. They tell us whether we should go into the arts, education, service, army, accounting and banking, law and government, or building and designing. And usually, they're right. IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY FOR AN OBSERVER TO BE WRONG.
Every twenty years, eighteen girls are categorized into royalty. Eighteen girls can't all be princess at once. So they compete. That's right. Compete for the crown. And, for the heart of the prince.
But the heart of the prince might not be the heart Annora Kleckner wins.

The Fallen Kingdom
I never thought my life would end up like this. One second, I'm just... me. The next, I'm running for my life, caught in a world I don't understand and hunted by people I can't even make sense of. Then there's Kane. Mysterious, stubborn, and somehow the only person I can count on. He drags me into a group of survivors - people from kingdoms that were destroyed, each with their own messed-up past. Somehow, we all ended up together, trying to survive in a world that's slowly breaking apart. Nothing is safe. Every shadow hides a threat, every step could be our last. And the more I learn, the more I realize that surviving isn't just about staying alive - it's about figuring out who I can trust, what I'm capable of, and what nightmares I'm willing to face. We were going to rebuild what we'd lost. ....
Flutter by, Butterfly
"Nothing happens by accident, Jani. Have you ever wondered what your parents do for a living?" "I don't know. I know my dad has a diamond mine and several other projects he is invested in." "One of those investments is in mind control. It encourages the development of altered personalities. It makes the individual much easier to manipulate, and control." Told through the eyes of young Jani, a 15 year old girl, meet Alejandro Jones: Hollywood's favorite, multi-talented poster boy. Jani is born to be his slave and has no idea. But nobody suspected that Alejandro would despise the system they were both sold into, and protect her at all costs. Even from his multi-personalities. *author's note... READERS BE WARNED: Rated mature, and there will be ugly violent things as well as beautiful things. What inspired this story is known as "The Monarch Project." The characters are all mine. All are fictional, and this story is based solely for the reader's entertainment. Though it was just a random Youtube video that inspired this tale, I would like to invite the viewers to focus on a man's true honor, even in the face of terrible temptation, and the need for parents to love and care for their children rather than toss them aside, or hurt them in any manner. And a woman's inner strength. Cover is handmade from watercolors.Complete
Roses for Rachel
I was sure the worst thing to ever happen to me would be being kidnapped, and sure, that was pretty bad. However, what was worse was being kidnapped, held captive for years, and then being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I thought maybe I had caught a little break when I found out that me and five other girls were being sold to royalty, but I should have known something about that wasn't right either. Under the cover of eternal darkness, and deep beneath the ground, was a whole world I never even dreamed existed in my wildest dreams. It was a world that promised to be more than anything I could imagine. The people who bought us told us we would have the luxurious life of a princess, but there were only two catches... 1. We would be competing against each other for the affection of the Prince who would change our whole lives by picking one of us to rule at his side. 2. That prince just happened to be a vampire.Complete
