Lilac is a play influenced by the stories of those who were persecuted for their sexuality during the Nazi occupation of Germany, and through out history in general. It expresses themes of love, but it is not a romance - it is a story that depicts the subconscious search for identity and community.

Eli Ackermann has always lived a very normal and boring life despite the fact he's always stood out, different for all the wrong reasons. Jewish, mentally ill and a bit too close with his friend Peter Printz for society's comfort, he's been an outcast since Hitler came to power in the 30s. As the years pass and the political situation in Germany worsens, Eli and Peter grow more involved in underground resistance groups to the Nazis where people like them are not outcasts anymore, but are welcomed with open arms. But war looms on the horizon and more and more of their friends are disappearing and never returning. A new struggle lies around every corner. Warning: this book contains sensitive material and adult language and themes. I am not trying to be insensitive in any way but I acknowledge this was an undeniably tragic time and themes in this book are not to be taken lightly. If you feel I am being insensitive at any point, please let me know. Trigger warnings for: gore, alcohol, mental illness, physical and emotional abuse, racism, anti-semitism, homophobia, discrimination, use of slurs, sexual abuse and rape, self harm, mentions of suicide, suicide ideation and direct references to suicide, death, major character death.

The Priests Daughter
'I don't know what it is about Mckenzie but she makes me feel something that I've never felt before. It's probably just because I've never had a real friend before. But, this feeling is different.

Her dad is the Priest at the local church and the one thing they hate is homosexuals which is why Lilac has been homeschooled by her mum most of her life. When her parents decide to let her go to school Lilac falls in love with a girl. She can't tell her parents but she knows that they will find out somehow and if they find out, they will kill her.Complete
Chasing Colours
"Mein Kampf. My struggle. It is different for everyone, is it not? I just didn't want to see the world from someone else's point of view. I have my own story, so do you and so does everyone.

The pages of history that sullied the soil. A tale was spun when Germany entered a new era with Adolf Hitler. With that tale happened the forbidden story of two young Germans in love, an Aryan and a Jew. As the world was thrown into the chaos of the Second World War and the Holocaust, new horrors unfolded in the peaceful lives of the young lovers. Death and despair that was tested with the strength of a smile or two.Complete

Die Amerikaner
// My jaw clenched as I glared at the pin. He stepped closer, and closer still until I had to look up at him. I forced myself to maintain eye contact despite the intense urge to look away. ''Accept this, Edith,'' he said in a low, stern voice. ''For both our sakes.'' // A love story set in Nazi Germany.Complete

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete
