Once Upon Now Grand Prize Winner published by Gallery Books.

Sixteen-year-old Mira Sighansen never questions her place in the majestic wilderness of the Yukon Territory until she witnesses her brothers' oil rig explode. Refusing to believe the young men are dead, the teen's suspicions are strengthened when their bodies aren't found and she's later visited by six wild egrets. 

But these are no ordinary birds, and Mira is faced with a remarkable task not even the loss of her voice or the anger of her best friend (over a boy, of course!) can hamper.

Convinced she can break a magical enchantment to bring her brothers back, Mira will risk jail and even psychiatric commitment to stop the rig from being rebuilt. Failure to overcome the doubts of her mayor mother, the opposition of her drilling foreman step-father, and the wrath of an industry thirsty for the valuable natural resource could mean not only the end of her family as she knows it, but also the loss of a vital part of her peoples' culture.

This 9,000 word original short story is a modern-day retelling of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale number forty-nine 'The Six Swans' with a First Nations twist. It was part of the #OnceUponNow contest sponsored by @Target for a chance to be included in a published anthology. As of July 5, 2016, it has made it into the Top 25 and as of August 16, 2016, it has been announced as one of the Top 10 Grand Prize winners.All Rights Reserved

My Beloved Kitsune by WendyyWolfe

Belicia Brooks grew up in a loving, but mundane home. As an only child Belicia didn't take well to abstract events or drama and anything that upset her routine lifestyle was strictly prohibited. By her. But a secret lurked within her family. A family ancestry she knew nothing about and powers she was born with would soon surface, bringing with it a kind of chaos she never imagined. The new guy in her school wasn't like anyone she had ever known. His presence sparked things in Belicia she'd had yet to experience. Like turmoil. And confusion. And, telepathy? Thankfully, she had her best friend Ava Avila to confide in. But would Ava be on her side, or, as Ava was known for loving gossip and drama, could Belicia trust her enough to tell her about her inner dialogue with the new guy? ___________________ An ancient family secret is about to be exposed. In the unsuspecting suburb of Kingsley Summit, Washington, the local high school becomes a battleground of wills when it is discovered the fated mate of a powerful Kitsune family lives in the United States of America. She doesn't realize it but Belicia is about to become the reason two families clash in a medieval tale of jealousy and revenge when a tale as old as time comes to life. When the Zenko Clan, an ancient family of Kitsune is alerted that their sons fated mate is in peril of being lost to them by the Yako Clan, the contest of wits begins, to see who will capture her heart first. The only catch is, neither can reveal the true identity of the other. The battle must be won while in their human form. As the two families of Shape-Shifters clash, only one can come away victorious.

Welcome to Fairytaletopia, where everything is happily ever after... until it isn't. Most people either loathe the idea of or don't believe in the legend of the Writer, a mysterious being in a faraway tower who writes the life story of every person who has ever lived with an enchanted pen. When an alliance of rogue mages decides to rise up against their destinies and take back power from the lazy, complacent royals ruling over the land, they don't realize what they've bargained for.

Ramona Swan and her crew, fairytale misfits barely scraping by in an old van and stealing to live, find themselves swept up into a life they never asked for ⸻ discovering the Writer is real and that he needs them to save the world. They chase through dangerous forests, battle monsters, and brave raging seas in a race against time to stop the newly emerged Alliance of Darkness from shattering the most famous fairy tales of all time, tearing down everything Fairytaletopia stands for in the process. The Alliance is brimming with wavering loyalties and sides bound to split, but their goal is set, and they'll do everything in their power to achieve it. Little do they know the royals won't go down without a fight. The thieves never asked to be caught up in all of this, but no one ever can truly predict what fate has in store.

Crescent | ✓ by TheConfusedTurtle

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜. 𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.

Chasing Fairies by TheArdentPen

[complete] "A human, a wulver, and a fairy walk into a witch's hut." It was like the start of a bad joke. Fleeing from her home in the States after the death of her only family member, Atrium McKenna comes to Gargunnock, Scotland to mourn the death of her uncle. She meets up with a group of merry men led by the charming Callum who takes a downtrodden Atrium under his wing. Their unlikely friendship forges the way into a world that until now, she only thought existed in fairy-tales. An apparition of a beautifully androgynous woman leaves her with more questions than answers on the legitimacy of her sanity and the security of her heart. While her uncle leaves behind secrets that make her ask one question: who was she? With a target on her head, Atrium struggles to protect herself and come to terms with the new world they have thrust her into. There's no turning back and dark magic is laying siege to those she cares about. Would she have time to understand and come to terms with it before it's too late? **This is the unedited first copy of Chasing Fairies.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Queen of Chaos and The Forgotten Witch by AuthorZelia

A warrior's place is not in hiding yet that is exactly where Mira finds herself; hoping that the creatures had forgotten her name, forgotten what she had done. Until her previous Commander appears, bringing the very news she never thought she would hear- that the only creature with the knowledge to break the curse is finally in their possession and willing to work with her. For years, this curse has prevented all of the creatures from accessing their powers. Without their power, they stand no chance of surviving against their greatest enemy, the fae, whose attacks seem to be growing more frequent and devastating. With Deimos, the only creature unaffected by the curse, in her possession, Mira finds herself negotiating the terms of a deal that are not nearly as harsh as they should be and spending her every waking moment catering to the most feared monster. Mira knows better than to believe it was all a mere coincidence; to not assume the fae have something far bigger planned. Deimos too. Despite it all, the biggest challenge she faces is how to conceal her own ulterior motives and lies from her new team. A few quick notes... ~The story is the first in a series and depending on interest, I will write and publish the following books in the series, AS WELL AS other spinoff stories in the same world. ~I have completed writing and editing the entire book so I will be uploading a few chapters each day until the entire book is posted. ~Happy reading! I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it! and please feel to leave comments as you read. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts, theories, etc... ~I do not own the book cover photo. All credit is due to the creator and I will be changing it once I have my own made. ~I own all rights to this story, the characters, and the world created within.
