"She seems like a nice girl," remarked Mrs. Langley, after Mrs. Burke had introduced her to Crystal Burns at the Burkes' barbecue, "And of course her family are quite respectable people; Mr. Burns being in the cotton business and all. Her mother was quite a belle when she was young, just like Miss Burns's younger sister, Alice. But Crystal is pretty. But--doesn't there seem to be a certain eeriness about her? Usually when I look at a girl of sixteen they seem rather light-hearted and gay, as if they had not a care in the world. But Crystal... she seemed so deep and serious... almost foreboding! My, her eyes seem so filled with secrets and thoughts... It doesn't feel right."
***
Crystal Burns is a charming young woman living in the south in the 1860s. As war threatens her lifestyle, Crystal must decide whether to hold on to the old, or create the new.

The Reluctant Roadtripper (A Romantic Comedy)
AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2024❤️ I can only see half of his face, reflected in the mirror at the front of the bus, and part of that is obscured by the peak of the black company-branded cap he's wearing. But I can see enough to glean that there's a strong jaw covered in scruff. A wide mouth that looks like it would be prone to smiling. He's wearing glasses with trendy light tortoiseshell frames, and I can't quite discern the colour of his eyes from my position . . . but some weird intuition is telling me that they'll be hazel, and I wonder when my brain is going to catch up. Because I *know* him, don't I? I'm almost certain of it. And he seems to know me, too. Or at least he thinks he does. The way he's glancing over at me lets me in on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirren Shepherd has *many* pet peeves. Top of the list, though? Staycations . . . And surprises. So when her girls' trip abroad is cancelled at the last minute and she finds herself roped into a minibus tour of Northern Scotland instead, she isn't remotely happy. And when she finds out who their guide is . . . It's yet another reason for her to dislike surprises. Because Owen Sullivan wasn't so much the one who got away . . . He was the one who just didn't return. And, after she finally got over him, she never expected to see him again. Mirren would prefer to leave the past in the past, but Owen is determined to try to right his wrongs. Can she trust him? Can she trust *herself*? Maybe, just maybe, this surprise - and staycation - won't be as bad as Mirren thinks . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~Complete

Crystal Heart
A long long time ago, there were humans who carry crystal hearts in their chests. They knew how precious their hearts were so they hid from the world. Just as someone had said, 'No secret can be kept buried and hidden forever'. They were eventually found out by the very world they feared would know of their secret- their crystal hearts and the power they hold. For thousands of years, the people with crystal hearts were being hunted like animals. If one of them was captured, his/her heart would be gouged out from his/her chest by his captors. One could say the crystal hearts were like the spoils of war. The greedy humans were very delighted when their wishes came true through the use of the crystal hearts. Slowly, the bearers of the crystal hearts dwindled. Ah, how cruel the world is to have humans murder one another for what- money, power, fame? How bleak the world has become. Tragic. Humans and beasts. Aren't they just the same? This is the story of the last surviving being with a CRYSTAL HEART. Disclaimer: This is just a really long one shot.Complete
