A memoir that follows the life of a new family in war-torn Vietnam escaping by boat not knowing where they would end up. A very pregnant Lan and her husband, Thanh, float aimlessly in their family's broken down fishing boat until a big Hong Kong cargo ship pick them up. They eventually make their way to Hong Kong and save up enough money doing odd jobs until they land in the United States. A week after landing, Lan finally gives birth to their daughter, Thuy Duong, the first to be anointed Vietnamese American in her generation. This is a story of grit, perseverance, love, betrayal, and forgiveness.

Hide-and-seek
Au in which Eddy and Brett are living in China and are sons of poor peasants. They are working in different factories and best friends (or could there be more than friendship?) The story takes place in the early 20th century but planes are already invented and there are airports and stuff. I tried to orient a bit on the actual historical situation in the countries, but it's definitely not 100% accurate! The story is vaguely based on a dream of mine and the Twosetweek prompts of April 2020. It's my first real fanfic, I hope you like it😊 ~MollyConcluida

A Time to Mourn A Time to Dance - A SciFi Paranormal Romantic Suspense Novella
Phuong Nguyen grew up a foster child; she knew the true meaning of Hell on Earth. In her teens, she'd desperately sought refuge in the online virtual world. Within those computer-based communities she could be anyone. Do anything. She became known around the world as Ratridevi, co-founder of the Hive Collective. With the Hive's assistance she'd taken down dictators. Brought child pornographers to justice. She'd at long last found love. But now her research into consciousness, meditation, and virtual reality had unearthed a stunning breakthrough - she could view any time in history before 1966 and create an exact video recording of what occurred. These revelations could help viewers track down long-lost gold mines, reveal the truth behind religious systems, and destroy corrupt empires. Now she just has to stay alive long enough to share the news. * * * A Time to Mourn A Time to Dance is book one in this series. In general, my novellas are written without explicit intimacy or violence. As such they are suitable for teens and up. I support battered women's shelters. I would love your input as I'm writing these - it's your suggestions which will help guide the direction the story moves in! If you prefer to read your stories complete, you are welcome to wait until the sequence is complete and then buy the box set. Either way, you support the cause! I traditionally create a boxed set for my novella series every three books or so.Concluida

Snippets: Gongsun Li was actually sleeping like a pig. A warm smile appeared in Zhu Zhen's face as he wrapped his arms around her tiny figure and pulled her closer ever so gently. Finding a sudden warmth, G.Li snuggled closer to the source in her deep slumber. She was so obediently lying in his arms, neither struggling nor cursing. Zhu Zhen wanted to stop the flow of time, then and there! "Silly stubborn wife, Why won't you obediently lie in my arms every night? Why won't you let me always hold you like this?", he whispered his complaints while nuzzling his nose in her hair. Suppressing the lump formed in his throat with a bitter smile he murmured, "Only if you would let me, Then I wouldn't be so desperate, Then I wouldn't be so hurt."
