Harlee Ramirez and James Whitmire have been best friends since they were nine years old. Harlee is bold and outspoken while James is shy and reserved. And their differences make the dynamic of their friendship special. So special that Harlee always believed they were unbreakable and that nothing could come between them. But the month before Harlee and James' thirteenth birthdays, James proves otherwise when he ends their friendship, without even giving Harlee so much as an explanation. Harlee is hurt, confused, and angry, that James could just throw their friendship away like that. Meanwhile, James is going through a lot of pain himself as he can never tell Harlee the reason why he had to end things. Harlee refuses to give up though; she will do anything it takes to win back her best friend. But as she tries to, she begins to wonder if their friendship is even worth saving or if growing up really does mean growing apart.

A mysterious rabbit. A forgotten treehouse. What do they have in common? A boy chosen by whispers older than the woods themselves. When thirteen‑year‑old Jamison is sent to spend the summer on his grandparents' quiet farm, he expects boredom, lots of chores, and long days with nothing but cicadas to keep him company. He doesn't expect a mysterious white rabbit with impossible blue eyes to appear... or the strange pull that leads him deep into the woods. It is there, hidden among silver‑barked trees, that lies a grove that remembers him-though he's never been there before. How is that even possible? Symbols glow beneath his touch. The whispers among the trees call him Keeper. And a long‑forgotten treehouse begins to awaken. As Jamison follows the rabbit deeper into the forest, he discovers Whisperstones, where ancient memories are trapped in glowing stones, and a boy named Riley watches from the shadows. He waits for the new Keeper to awaken the forgotten stories. But the woods are changing. The whispers grow louder. The treehouse remembers... secrets that were never meant to be forgotten. This is a story filled with courage, magic, and the quiet strength found in unlikely places. Whispers From the Treehouse is a heartfelt middle‑grade fantasy about finding a place to belong, bravery, and the power of listening to the things the world has hidden in plain sight.

Words from the heart. From looking through a window with your nose pressed against the glass, to looking in a mirror that reveals your innermost thoughts. Or in this case, my characters innermost thoughts. All the emotions and feelings of the rainbow. Each chapter is written differently, some poetry, some vignettes, and other writing styles. This is writing about mine and other characters journeys and thoughts about their life, told in different ways.

What if you got trapped inside Minecraft - and dying meant dying for real? Steve (10) and Alex (12) signed up for a simulation experiment. Three days inside their favourite game. No big deal. Then extraction failed. The mobs became real. And the villagers started thinking for themselves. Now they're fighting to protect a village called Millbrook, making allies who'd die for them (and some who do), and crossing a world that gets more dangerous with every chapter - pillager raids, frozen mountains, and a pale forest full of things that only move when you're not looking. But the worst part? The simulation is learning from them. Their fears. Their memories. Their knowledge of the game. And it's building something from everything they know. Updates weekly. Complete story - 21 chapters.

There's no faster way to get a promotion than by having your superiors turn to stone. Yesterday, I was a novice. I wore a grey cloak that brushed my calves and made the Little Folk in the forest laugh at me as I passed them by. Then one by one by one, my fellow sisters started to look a little grey in the face and clouded in the eyes. Their joints began to stiffen. Their musical voices cracked. They started coughing up dust. Now, I'm my monastery's last hope to complete a ritual that might save us all... If I can keep Tablet's anxiety from causing them to combust, avoid being devoured by demons that will stop at nothing to steal the sacred idol I carry... And keep from turning to stone before I can use it.
