For centuries, humankind has been transfixed with the almighty power a single word can wield - but when censorship rules and the most basic freedoms are being supressed, nobody predicted that the poets could overthrow some of the most tyrannical rulers in British history...
Celia Aldwick never felt comfortable in such an... ordered society. This new government reeked of underhand plans and deceit, yet people were blinded by the PM's scheme. So when Celia happens to mention her doubts to the otherwise inconspicuous girl at a coffee shop, she is surprised when this girl shows genuine interest.
Eventually, Celia discovers that her colleague is a Poet - and when she meets this secretive league, she accidentally stumbles upon a sinister plot by the 'government'.

A Tangled Courtship
EVERYTHING IS A FIRST DRAFT Princess Anne has gone her whole life thinking she is due to be the first queen to rule Canlyra without a king in her way, until her parents announce she is suddenly set to marry the unnervingly attractive and charming Prince of Otren, Christopher. Prince Christopher and Anne quickly devise a plan, "royally fail as a couple so much, that even a blind person could see they would never work as King and Queen". The betrothed couple must walk a fine line of convincing the royal court and their parents they are not right for each other and being a royal couple for the people, to not instil fear for their nation's future leaders and give the rebellion brewing amongst the seven lands, fuel to their fire that is a threat to the monarchy. With royal dates specifically designed to make Princess Anne and Prince Christopher fall in love, expensive ball gowns at every life event no matter how small, engagement parties, wedding plans for a ceremony destined to fail, and a royal ball. "A Tangled Courtship" is a riveting tale that shows just how much two people can have in common when their freedom depends on them working together to destroy any chance of them being a couple. Set in a dystopian future where humans are forced to return to their Victorian Era ways to stop carbon emissions from rising and all the technological advancements made in the past are now drowned in seawater.

Camera Flashes (1) - Taylor Swift
"You talk like you ate a thesaurus for breakfast. You should try a normal person word instead of lineage, like family." "Would that not involve being remotely fond of them?" Being famous is like someone slowly suffocating you. Even if you chose it, you don't realize until it's already too late and the air is gone. Some people make it out, some crave the attention, while others merely let it suffocate them past the point of no return. Grace didn't choose to be famous, but Taylor did. The camera flashes are bright, they are blinding, and life is a total nightmare. It's about to get a whole lot worse. - An alternate universe to my story 'Stay' and the subsequent one shots, same characters, completely different life. As with all my stories, this book contains mature themes and sensitive subject matter and is intended for a mature audience. Reader discretion is advised. - This is a work of fiction and I only own original characters and not Taylor Swift, her works or any other living and mentioned people.

Love, Taylor | TS
Dear Rory, I'm sorry about what I said. I'm leaving for LA in two days. Can we talk before then, please? We can just drive around as usual. I don't know how to do this if you're upset with me. Call me please. I'm staying at my parents' house. Love, Taylor *** Aurora Taylor has been living her best life for the past ten years or so. She works for Odyssey, a travel magazine based in New York City, New York, where she gets to go on dozens of trips a year to the most beautiful corners on earth to write articles about her journey. When she's not travelling, she also dabbles in fiction writing, a little secret passion of hers only few people know about. When the pressure of her two jobs gets a little too hard to manage, she decided to take a week off in a beautiful town at the beach in Northern Italy. A week full of unadulterated fun and relaxation, with unlimited glasses of chilled Prosecco and gelato cones. Or, so she thought. Her plans are completely ruined when she runs into someone she never thought she would ever see again. Not in person at least. A ghost from her past. Taylor Swift. Thirteen years and the universe decides to throw them together in a random town in Italy. Taylor does not believe that it is a coincidence. Aurora is a little reluctant to believe it. But thirteen years is a hard number for Taylor to ignore and she is adamant on making things right with the writer who finds it hard to forgive and forget all that was said and done thirteen years ago. *** This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for real celebrities. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it!Complete

Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Princess
When world-famous singer Taylor Swift and rebel Princess Alexandra Habsburg meet at a charity gala in London, their worlds collide in unexpected ways. Both are burdened with fame and public expectations, but amidst the glitz and appearances, they discover a deeper connection. As they navigate media scandal, forbidden love, and internal struggles, Taylor and Alexandra must decide if they are willing to break the rules of duty and tradition to live an authentic life and love freely, even if it means facing the consequences of defying the world. ps.Chatgpt helped me with the description of this because I'm very bad with that. It doesn't follow any timeline of Taylor's life, I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with her, in fact I'm taking a lot of creative liberties with everything, so don't take any of this seriously, it's just literature and not even good literature.
