A Wave to Ride is a coming-of-age Novel about my struggle into adulthood. Growing up in a modern society where I found solace and a place of retreat online on Instagram. Where my love of dressing up as celebrities grew me an audience of a million. I thought I was on top of the world at the age of 17, only to find my life and home to come crashing down, like the relentless waves. Soon I would find myself in the clutches of a horrible depressive state in the backseat of my car, exposed to the elements of abuse and desperation. A toxic cocktail of dark thoughts seemed to be creeping up on me, drowning out my cries to the world. C. All Rights Reserved, 26 Publishing, LLC.

The mysterious man who wears sunglasses every time is what might be able to allow Cher to live a bit, at least, a tiny bit. Sether, on the other hand, is a young man who has his future in the fog. He doesn't care much about the world, he doesn't care about the women who approach him all the times, he doesn't care about the mockeries he receives regularly because of his hideous sunglasses, he doesn't mind, because he knows the pain, he knows it deeply. Both are solitary birds seeking a shoulder to lean on without even knowing it. They will meet, they will feel the same, they will probably fall passionately in love, but the secrets within them have the keys to their future together. --- Started: 14/11/19 Completed: 5/07/20 Hope you'll love this!

Going Full Throttle
~ 2021 WATTY'S SHORTLIST ~ "I-well, I..." I hesitated with my response. I wanted to let go. To not worry about what would happen in the future. I'd always loved staring into fires. It hypnotized me with its beauty and danger. It was so tantalizing to look at, but one little touch could destroy. I knew the heat between Tyler and I was similar. It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries. Her only responsibilities were to attend her college classes (sometimes) and keep herself fed (on ramen). When tragedy strikes, Pia is all of the sudden thrown into a whirlwind of change. She has to grow up and take on more responsibility than she could ever imagine: the custody of her best friend's son. Pia may not believe she is the best person for the job, but she is determined to do it. She'll trade in frat parties for PTA meetings and beer-bongs for apple juice. But what happens when the ruggedly hot motocross athlete Tyler Westwood shows up in her small town? Tyler lives on the fast track, never caring too much about consequences. You can't when your job is to do backflips through the air. Sometimes, you just have to send it and hope for the best. From the second Tyler meets Pia, he knows he wants her. But she is determined to ignore their bubbling chemistry. She has priorities now and a summer fling isn't one of them. Will Pia be able to stay away from Tyler? Or will she decide to hit the throttle? ***************************************************Complete
