A widowed octogenarian. Her young, anxious carer. Three enigmatic cats. And a prophecy that will take them on a perilous journey; full of new experiences, new friends and a new path through the world they thought they knew. 


The dark and unforgiving time of the Onslaught has descended on the world of Esothiea and a soul has been Chosen to seek out the Orb of Tilgh. An object of immeasurable power that will either save everyone, or send the world spiralling into desolation. 

While heroes come in all shapes and sizes, this quest requires age and experience, and Florence James is just the woman for the job. Her feisty nature, resilient spirit and sense of humour are exactly what's needed - that and the fact that she's eighty-three years old. 

Accompanied by her cautious carer, Quentin, who tries to keep her safe and medicated - and her three cats who are as mysterious as they are cute. Florence must traverse the world, facing many dangers to find the Orb before it's too late. Armed only with a pair of stabulous knitting needles and her trusty walking stick. 
What could possibly go wrong?

No Sleep in Dreamland | ONC 2021 Longlist | Ambassador's Pick by flowerghostqueen
18 parts Complete
Complete. ONC 2021 entry. ONC Longlist and a Round II Ambassador's Pick! Exclusive to Wattpad. Ulthar is a cozy, sleepy town in the Dreamlands, close to the River Skai. It is a cobblestoned, gable-roofed town of pumpkin patches and a sizable population of cats. The only law is that you must never harm a cat, but the town is quiet and peaceful. Cats, humans, fish-people, and cosmic horrors live in unity. And really, the horrors are quite pleasant. Fourteen-year-old Eileen, who escaped the waking world, helps out at the chocolate shop and lives with her inventive adoptive mother, Cecilia Haunt. Besides the occasional cat, zoog, or animate pumpkin snatching the wares away, all is well. That is, until a mysterious eye statue appears in Ulthar. Every night, it moves to a different location. It's the sign of the Great Ones, who long ago left the dark palace of Kadath and went to the sunset city. Listless and hurt over the past, and desperate for an adventure to give herself a purpose, Eileen asserts that this is her chance to make a name for herself at the risk of her own safety and identity. Over the Garden Wall + H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1 by marcellaiswriting
34 parts Complete
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.
