Screen burn: "Where a permanent mark is burnt into the mask of the TV screen due to prolonged display." If Jake's life is a TV show, the set that plays it is afflicted with screen burn, forever displaying his character in a frozen state, unable to change. He is the nice guy who always finishes last. He is stuck being the boring, straight, white male. Mateo is a bisexual, biracial troublemaker and everything that a girl wants. Jake aims to rewrite his character to win the girl of his dreams, and Mateo is going to help him (willingly or not). #45 in Humor. [Cover by: redblacklady]

~In watty longlist 2018 ~ An attempt to create, and explore the crevices untouched. Be part of my poetry journey, as I attempt to rediscover parts of me, parts of you and an inexplicable bond one shares with words. ... Denial & Bliss is a collection of short poems that borders between mildly heart-breaking scenarios and its acceptance of conflicts arising from loneliness. It aims to capture different facets of human despair and evoke neo-noir imagery, and tries to be intentionally unsettling and jarring with its rhyme scheme on certain occasions. The collection opens with "Mortal Shell with rust", a poem describing pain due to heartbreak and unfaithfulness and how it kills your spirit. It continues to explore the narrator's wish to be separated with "Explorer", and relive her experiences to understand her feelings with "End", "Muted Wails", and "Infinitely Close". The point of view begins to shift from "Scared", where the reason of insecurity & ache stems from what people now perceive her as. The narrator's struggle to heal is apparent in "shards" and attempt to move on in "Breathe me in." The collection ends with "Evolve", one of the shortest poems in the collection which evokes its namesake as it all comes to end.

In this Chinese urban fantasy, PERCY JACKSON meets SPIRITED AWAY and JOURNEY TO THE WEST. ***** Born with blood in their veins that runs only half Chinese, Faryn Liu and her brother Alex are shunned by the other warriors in the Jade Society, an ancient Chinese order created to protect the people of Earth from demons. Yet Faryn longs to follow in the footsteps of her legendary warrior father, though her blood status will keep her from ever wielding a weapon. Then, everything changes when Faryn sneaks out on the night of Chinese New Year and, with the help of a strange old man, saves Chinatown from the wrath of the nian dragon. Days after the nian dragon has been slain, a god descends upon the Jade Society bearing a message with the opportunity of Faryn's lifetime. The Jade Emperor, ruler of the gods, has called upon his warriors to do what no mortals have managed before, and track down the mystical Peng Lai islands. Those who succeed will become immortalized as his Heavenly Generals. Demons that have been dormant for decades are stirring, and the Emperor knows war is on the horizon. Armed with a powerful spear given to her by a goddess, Faryn and her brother must find the islands and prove that they are as worthy to be named warriors as any others. But the road to glory is littered with more than tricky gods and vicious demons. It's paved with betrayal and death. And for Faryn, living up to her father's name and her own expectations might mean turning into a monster herself.

(ka-thar-sis) noun the purging or release of emotional tensions through arts or music. She pours meaning into things that don't deserve a definition. She has a knack to try and find out what is best left unknown, and is then left blind and scorched by the harsh, undiluted truth. She also doesn't know how much power she holds, and when she knows about it doesn't know how not to misuse it; like every other human being. Yet, miraculously, they still continue to procreate, live and love amongst their many flaws and staggering height of illiteracy. She finds it fascinating. And this is the foolish, feel-too-much human race, seen through her eyes. (cover: by me) Ranks: #34 in disease © 2018 ineffxble- All Rights Reserved.
