"For my family and in a loving memory of the women who came before us." - Jacqueline Woodson.
"For Elizabeth Riley, who was and always will be my second mother." - Hudson Talbott.
(This true story isn't by me. This true story is from the author Jacqueline Woodson who talks about her family before her in this true story. This true story is also illustrated by Hudson Talbott. I'm actually new here in Wattpad, so this is the first time I'm making my favourite story from Jacqueline Woodson. This story doesn't have chapters and it's quite short, so sorry. But hope you'll enjoy it! ^^)

In love with a Hitman (Hitman Series Pt. 2)
This is the second book in the Hitman series, it can be read as a standalone but you'll understand characters a bit better if you read 'Falling for a Hitman' first. Get hooked on the fast paced, heart racing action, and fall for the romance. The second I heard her say my name I knew I was in too deep. I knew I'd do everything in my power to protect her. When her ex came to town I made sure to do just that. When she finished her shower that first night in my home, I fell for her. Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex. I never thought he would find me after I changed my name and moved 1500 miles away from my hometown. When he whispered in my ear I thought I was going to die right there in the middle of the dance floor. Luckily I had big strong tattooed arms to fall into, and I never wanted to leave that embrace. We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.Complete

DARKNESS
Little did I know that a knock on my front door on a Wednesday afternoon would turn my life upside down. It would change everything. Had I have known this ever-so-useful piece of information beforehand, I would never have opened the door. In actual fact, I would have made sure I was as far away from it as possible. Unfortunately I don't happen to possess mind-reading powers, so therefore, the knock on the door came. And the one person who would singlehandedly destroy my life and make me question everything I've ever known, appeared. Right in front of me. He was RIGHT there. And there was nothing I could do. _______ Mature themes & some coarse language.Complete
My Story
Life isn't easy. Never has been, never will be. If someone tells you their life is easy then they are lying because everyone has something going on in their life that makes it harder. My life is definitely not easy. There are times when things are good but life is never easy. This is my story... **** A/N: Not actually about me, this is not a real book and definitely not about me. I'm not the best writer but I enjoy writing. If there are any mistakes then I am sorry and hopefully I will fix them but no guarantees. I'm not very good at descriptions but a lot happens in the book so up to you if you read it or not.Complete

The Fiddler (Hand in Hand Chronicles)
Henry of Lancaster is the second son of a second born son. In short, he's destined to be nobody, and nothing. To tell the truth, he's fine with that. Anything is better than being bullied by his older brother and ignored by his parents. He's ready for a quiet life of anonymity. But England is about to be rocked by civil wars, and as the fate of kings hangs in the balance, only the strong will survive. Inspired by the true story of the man who would found a dynasty that would shape England's future for the next three hundred years. (All my Hand in Hand Chronicles relate to the Violent Delights series, but are completely stand alone. This one takes place in the 1200s and early 1300s) Trigger/Content Warning: Extended psychological and physical abuse, a character experiences PTSD Throughout. Blood violence. Torture. Family issues, grief. A character exhibits suicidal ideation throughout. Fear and coping with PTSD are major themes. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed. *Alcohol use throughout which may be triggering to some readers. In the time period in which the novel is set wine was drunk instead of water, Sack was a harder liquor form of wine.Complete
THE GOOD OVEN *Wattpad Featured* (aka 'Re Ply')
#6 Spiritual. Wattpad Featured. The battle for life and the winning of love, from World War 1 to the Millennium. A collection of (very) short real life stories and one or two poems. #18 oldendays 'Waiting for Fred Astaire,' 'No Child of Mine,' and other memories were given to me by wonderful women and men who taught me everything that matters to me now. They told and retold, telling without saying, until I began to understand. The lesson never ends. I remember, and loving them, learn still. Thank you so much for reading. Your comments and thoughts are so welcome and such a great help. As I got older I simply thought these memories would die with me. I can't believe they are now being read in over 90 countries! It is really amazing. Thank you again :))) Keep in touch. Follow for more news and stories. I'll put the kettle on. Come back soon:) © @RosyCarmelina all rights reserved. I found the beautiful cover picture on the wiki creative commons page which feels just like the right mood for the love that cooks these stories.
