To Cape Horn in Comfort and Style by ZonderZorg

Two strangers in their mid-sixties come together to turn their dreams into reality. Their three-year adventure takes them through extreme sailing in some of the wildest and most remote waters on the planet, and they do it in comfort and style. Many parts of this book read like Action/Adventure novels and, at times, Thrillers. Some of the experiences, both afloat and ashore, are so incredible that some might consider them Fantasies. But it all happened, and as the adventure unfolded, I wrote a blog that gained over 3,000 daily views and grew beyond a million words and over 2,500 images. This is a condensed rewrite of that blog, but with Wattpad's limit of twenty images per chapter, I've included only 2,450 here.

When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time. *** Run. Don't look back. When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go. The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food. When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead. Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet. ------------ Updates are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11-1pm MST.

Psyche's Wings by OwlieCat

Four hundred years ago, Fenn became a vampire at the age of seventeen. Now he wants to go to high school, but dangers from the past soon follow him. ***** Fenn is a vampire - a fragile, a four-hundred-year-old, socially inept vampire with the mind and heart of a teenage boy and a love for pretty things and butterflies. For centuries, he existed as a prisoner of his own mind; but healed and whole at last, he wishes to learn everything there is to know about the modern world... by attending high school. When his 'fathers,' Ari and Soren, reluctantly agree, Fenn embarks on a journey of friendship and discovery, but from the very first day, it's clear that leaving the supernatural at home will be harder than he thought. With a sweet jock vying for his heart, a mysterious vampire-hunter refusing to be his friend, a murderous witch on the loose, and vengeful vampires waiting in the wings, high school may be more of a challenge than Fenn bargained for. *** PG-13 for violence and light sexuality Cover designed by Adam Budny
