adventure fairytales folklore

'The Laborer's Cat' is the first novella in my book Tales of Cynings Volume I, which I self-published in January 2016. The book contains four novellas inspired by popular fairy tales. 'The Laborer's Cat' is the first story in the volume, and is loosely based on the tale of Puss in Boots.

Horace is a common young man, a manual worker and the son of a baker in Fortadel, the capital of Cynings. When a tragic accident kills his father and destroys his home, Horace's only remaining possessions are his will to work and his black tomcat, Shadow. On the day that Shadow starts to speak, Horace's life heads a whole new direction in a world that is quickly becoming much more giant...All Rights Reserved

{Won 3rd place on the Sorting 2021 Competition} A mixture between Harry Potter books lore and Hogwarts: Mystery game A Charlie Weasley x OC story from his first year at Hogwarts and all the way to the Battle of Hogwarts (yes, it's a LONG story)! Sequel to the story is now available - Nova's Universe Nova Blackwood is very excited to finally attend Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is a bit nervous because she doesn't have any friends yet. Soon she meets 3 girls on the train and she knows that no matter in which house they get sorted in, they will remain friends. But it's not until she meets the red-haired Charlie Weasley that she knows she found someone that understands her obsession with animals. Having a big friend group can be fun, interesting and sometimes gets you in detention. You will have to read the story to see what happened in their seven years at Hogwarts and what happens to their friendship once school is over! "Please promise me, you will never, not even for a second, think that I would replace you with anybody. There is not a person in the world that could take your place, Charlie Weasley." The story has 8 parts: 1 for each school year at Hogwarts and 1 for years after that :) I don't own any of the characters mentioned in the story which belong to JK Rowling

A Touch of Magic by Sarel303

"Usually innocents like you have time to grow into their magic before they have to break the rules. You don't have that time, Minta. Please believe me, you need to be ready. I'm risking everything to make you ready." I stopped and searched his eyes for further explanation, and there was a near moment of clarity before Edgar looked away, releasing me gently. "Risk what, Edgar?" A Touch of Magic... Minta has a choice; she can turn away from magic or embrace it. Desperate for a destiny, it's a no brainer. Guided by the cat who's been following her around, and her dead aunt's sidekick Gladys Jones, Minta begins by fixing problems with bullies, and finding Prince Charming for her b.f.f. Who'd of thought there were so many Cinderella's in need of makeovers? It's not long before Minta wants change her own romantic fortunes too (it's worked for everyone else). But life is never that simple and as Minta grapples with her future, there are others trying to stop her from having one. But who and why? Minta hasn't a clue. Though she does have her suspicions about the cat... Eventually, sacrificing her own (and very human) desires to follow her path, Minta's destiny becomes clear; this is a story of self-belief and resolution, first crushes & love (and the journey towards grasping the difference). Mostly though, this is a book about magic. Cover kindly made by @alessandra
