~AUTHOR'S NOTE~
I started this story for NaNoWriMo 2016, though I didn't finish nor did I reach the goal word count. Now as the new years starts I've thought about this story a lot and I've made some changes, those who have read the story and kept up with it, I've changed a few things about the story line and condensed a few chapters together. I'm almost done with the editing of the chapters that I've already written and close to adding more to the story now that I know the direction I want to take it.
I will be done editing by the end of tomorrow, and have a new chapter posted by weekends end. I hope you enjoy the story that I'm having such a wonderful time writing. If you love the story, or even if you hate it (which I hope isn't the case), please feel free to vote or comment! I would be honored to hear from you! :)

Queen of Chaos and The Forgotten Witch
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.

A Thorny Tale
Foreword: A plant can thrive or a plant can die with or without attention. Whether it's lovingly nurtured or butchered makes no difference really but sometimes they can come back stronger than ever. It's a relationship where we need each other more than we think about really and we take them all for granted like we do each other. One seed can sow doubt or it can sow hope. Wonder what would happen to the world if such a seed existed inside a person and it finally bloomed? Synopsis: Briar was made a slave and an orphan on the same day she was born. She serves at the castle she was born in, the court of winter. Everyone can command her to do tasks and she has no freedom to leave. Those at the top of this world are the ruling Fae, next are ruling humans, next Fae, free humans, protected slaves and then the banished ones. At least as a slave she has a chance at earning her freedom from a ruling Fae to pardon her. She is also something more which is discovered as she grows up but she must keep it hidden to protect herself. As she masters her skills, she, along with her friends, are given the opportunity to leave and earn her freedom. It's the first step in finding herself and her answers and perhaps it could change her life in ways she couldn't imagine when she was taking everyone's orders in the kitchen. But first she must rescue a prince from a dungeon... (Small warning) Contains suggestions of non consensual sexual relationships of a business kind but no graphic detail. This is a story about a main female character in a reverse harem situation as well. (Book cover made from Book Covers app)Complete
