No Guidebook. No Map. No Clue.
The story of one traveler's misadventures from Cape to Cairo.
  
After returning from six months of backpacking in eastern Africa, I wrote a creative non-fiction account of my journey. It was a trip that changed my life. I made several attempts at publishing it through traditional channels. It received some interest and I even got an agent,  but ultimately it was passed on because publishers felt the audience for such a book was quite limited. I'm now in the process of novelizing it into a humorous coming of age story.

SORROWS OF THE HEART by Honeybee_mazwide

A random story. Hope you enjoy!

Lonely by AaronGK

Jerome Burns has it all. A wife, owns a company, and is rich. But When Jerome went for a canoe and got washed by a waterfall, all that changed.

Will he survive in the dangerous environment, or will he give it all up to die alone?

Arnesto Modesto: The World's Most Ineffectual Time Traveler by DarrenJohnsonAuthor

This story is a full-length novel on Amazon (and elsewhere) and is currently (12/12/2018) a #1 best-seller in Time Travel Fiction in Australia. Though I'm unlikely to make big changes at this point, comments are always welcome and typos almost certainly squashed. Now the REAL description: What if you could go back and do it all over again? By sending his memories back in time, Arnesto Modesto gives himself a do-over. Of course, his much younger self may not be prepared to handle all that foreknowledge... Encouraged by his friend Pete, Arnesto attempts to use his limited recall to do some good - and winds up stumbling through some of the biggest events of the past quarter-century. Take it from Arnesto: Life isn't easier the second time around. (Think Groundhog Day if the main character went much farther back and only got to repeat his life ONCE.) For anyone who has ever wondered, "What if?"

Tattoo by DKKelly

I'm Talia Dawson. I just got my first tattoo. Yay. And the tattoo artist is EXTREMELY cute....like to a T. But, my mom is making me go to this stupid winter camp for 'rebellious teens'. I wasn't being rebellious....it was an accident. Sorry but that boy had it coming mom! You don't try to do that to a girl! I may or may not have punched him....in the face.....kinda hard....with a broken lamp. Anyway. This is a serious story....I fall in love and who doesn't want to read about heart stopping battles and romance and your typical good-vs-evil stories? Oh come on you know you want to. (Book One in the Dark Ink series)

A WIP. An incoherent string of sentences thrown together and called a story. A narrative I vomited onto my MacBook during a 2 day ski trip. Great skiing. Not great writing. Enjoy if you can.

Journey To The Promise Land by YazmynnMitchell7

adventure story of survival. It's between midevil to fantasy. This is a another story I had on the top of my head. So like always be patient with me when I upload chapters.🤗 Including mild swearing, fights, slight blood but nothing major.

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance. They are both dead set on making each other's lives hell, but when the story progresses they just might learn that first impressions could be deceiving. As circumstances reveal their true selves and opinions change, things could get complicated especially when suddenly feelings get involved. Who would be the first to concede? Maybe it's not that simple to forgive your archnemesis and maybe it'll result in some hilarious consequences... ** Book 1 of a two-part series (completed).High Rankings: # Funny, # Humor, # Comedy, # Romance, #Billionaire Amazing book, I adore your writing style, and I really enjoyed these characters and story -Reader Fantastic story, believably flawed characters and deft humour makes for a very engaging read, I could barely put it down to feed my children -Reader **
