The Rule of Thirds
Sixteen-year-old Pippa Greene never goes anywhere without her camera. She and her best friend/supermodel-in-training Dace long ago mapped out their life plan: Pippa will be the noted fashion photographer, and Dace the cover girl. But ever since last spring, things have changed for Pippa — and her junior year at Spalding High proves to have its own set of challenges. Not only is Vantage Point, the statewide photography competition, in three short weeks, but her mandatory volunteer placement lands her at St. Christopher’s Hospital, a place Pippa never wanted to set foot in again. With humour and pluck, she navigates her new role as a candy striper (watch out for Code Yellows), her changing relationship with her best friend (goodbye Honesty Pact), and — perhaps most stressful of all — her new love interests (yes, love interests plural). Will Pippa make it to Vantage Point without having a panic attack? Will either one of the guys prove less sketchy than her last boyfriend? Can she and Dace figure out a way to dream big and be best friends? One thing is certain: real life is a lot more complicated than a photograph. New chapter updates every Wednesday!Complete
Daylight Between You and Me
There is two worlds, or at least that's how it felt in the terms of the only remaining two cities left of the world. With a violent plague that wiped out 99% of the world, a revolution struck that had men power struggling into what now the world looked like and who should be in charge. That's when the "Divide" happened. With the remaining land and people arguing and fighting over how society should be run and handled, the land was soon divided into the Daylight City and the Nightfall City causing a major division in both the world and people. Rayne Parker was your normal nineteen year old girl, starting her first year of college and avoiding the grand and rich lifestyle she once came from back in Charleston, South Caroline. But as soon as the plague hits and not only wipes out everything she started to associate in build for herself, she soon is forced to come into rearranging her whole life and plan to "start over". Dove is sent back to reconnect with her own family she was running away from and the very city that had felt like a rich escape town. But as she grows into more of her now role of survival and a completely different society, that's not the only thing that is making her life more complicated and desperate. Two Words. Luke Augustus.
Love Metamorphosis
Life can change so unexpectedly. One moment it was going to be the happiest day of Jemma Turner's life. Then the next moment she is standing in her wedding dress in the hospital and they are telling her she is a widow before she can become a wife. Trying to live with reality she starts working again as a child psychologist, taking on cases and trying to remember what normal might be without the love of her life. That is until Eric McManis, a new friend, needs her help and her expertise. Jemma knew she cared for him but begins to notice an attraction in such close quarters. Unsure if she wants a second chance at love, Jemma struggles with growing feelings. She isn't sure if there can be two great loves in one life but she has a feeling if she does Eric just might be the man for the job. **I wrote Love Metamorphosis years ago after reading an article about a woman who lost her husband-to-be on their wedding day. It moved me so much that I felt the urge to write an entire fictional story based solely on the idea of what a person would go through if the happiest day of their life suddenly became the worst. My immediate thought was I hope she choose to live and love again if the opportunity arose to marry someone else. Thus Love Metamorphosis was born. After years of gathering proverbial dust, I decided to get a nice cover made and share this novella with everyone. Complete Cover art by White Noise GraphicsComplete

Living with a YouTuber?!
This is a sequel, so read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first. I wholeheartedly loved and trusted Nate despite having known him less than a year. I had a million reasons why I shouldn't move in with him but I decided to ignore them and trust my gut feeling rather than my head. I knew people would say it was too soon and that I'd be giving up even more privacy living with a YouTuber who daily vlogged. Slowly but surely I was being wrapped in various YouTube activities and it had become a significant part of my life. I would be busier than ever when I went back to university and continued to run my now high-profile blog. It would be a challenge to juggle the pressure from the online world while attending my responsibilities, finding time for my passions and maintaining all my personal relationships. I didn't mind though. All the pieces seemed to fall into place and I was so bloody excited to see what the future would bring. *********************************************************** If you're confused, please read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first (check my profile). Blogger and photographer Abigail has agreed to move in with Nate, a.k.a. SillyNate on YouTube, and they are keeping it a secret from his YouTube audience for now. While the main characters (who are ALL fictional) still are the focus, this book will also have many cameos from real life YouTubers and draw on real events.Complete![To Love Irrevocably [18+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/232885771-256-k586808.jpg)
To Love Irrevocably [18+]
At twenty-two years old, Sutton Anstein is basically a walking corpse. Growing up with a helicopter mom and relentless high school bullies, Sutton adopted a way of being that has kept him safe and guarded, and consequently, sucked the life right out of him. Craving some adventure, he moves away from his family and takes up a new job that sets him right in the path of fate. Ariel. She is sultry, confident, free, and everything Sutton is not. All he knows about her is her stage name, and the mystery surrounding his red-headed beauty turns him completely on his head and forces a spark into his numb life. That spark blazes through his mundane, day-to-day routine, and sets fire to it all as Sutton chases the woman he never knew he needed. There's something so intoxicating, so beautiful, and so world-bending about Ariel that Sutton is positive she is the One. To win her over, he will have to risk the pain and heartache that has kept him hidden for so long, and force him way, way out of his comfort zone. Relationships will be tried. Boundaries will be pushed. Hearts may break. But in an effort to reach his Happily Ever After, he has to try. Sutton has to live.Complete
