The year is 2096. Computers, and other recognition software with them, have grown infinitely more powerful since the 2010s. Business is thriving. People are running about, living their lives, and generally enjoying themselves with their new 'smart' devices, which, for better or for worse, are actually living up to their name. Finally. Enter outcast Vincent Schorennherr. Her parents [emphasis on her] parents wanted a boy, no luck on that account, and they let her know that every day. You think that's not so bad? Think again. "Sorry, Vincent, but you're going to school anyways, flu or no flu." Well, just before first period, a 'conveniently'-timed password-entry prompt pops on on her phone screen, right as she: 1) Presses the sensor, and 2): sneezes, spreading rhinoviruses all over herself and her phone. She wipes the phone off and goes to class,thinking nothing more of the incident until the next day, when she goes to turn it on and gets a kill screen: "Fatal Error 81-141. The flu's contagious, didn't you know that? Bye now, gone to play Caesar- Veni, vidi, vici and all that." With that, her phone blinks off, and within hours, other phones begin to follow suit. With panic on the rise, and global tensions rapidly following suit, can Vincent and her friends find the cure before it's hard shutdown? **NaNoWriMo 2017** Complete in the sense that I'll probably never write any more of this story. I might edit it someday, though. I had a decent idea when I started, but that quickly went out the window.

Ayesha Desai and Sunny Singhania have known each other since they were kids (courtesy of Kabir, Ayesha's older brother and Sunny's lifelong best friend).

And what happens when the childhood crush that Ayesha thought went away, comes back to haunt her? Prequel to Love Therapy, you don't have to read Love Therapy before reading this one.

Growing up as a young Muslim woman, I realized the significant segregation between people with diverse beliefs, people who looked different, people who didn't have the same backgrounds. I saw my classmates digging holes into the dirt that the inspiring historical figures cried through the heavens from above - because they've realized that their efforts are to be gone in vain. I began to realize that there was no compromise, and there never will be, unless these diverse arrays of individuals conglomerated to inspire or find solutions to the ongoing problems we face within our community. I'll put it quite simply - Arogen is an allegory. It's an allegory for many things, actually. The biblical and Islamic renditions of the prophet's stories, the political setback and controversy over religion, the discrimination of Muslims throughout the world because of ill-defined words and scapegoats. It's all real, whether we like to see it or not, and in writing my novel, I hope to portray the real social clash and horridness of what happens when both sides don't communicate. When people realize that communication, language, literacy and comprehension of one another is key to living a real and honest life, and that it effects society immensely, is when we can climb out of the hole that we've dug so far in. In that moment, the moment that we realize that this is our reality, we can find a way to pull ourselves, wrench ourselves out of that damp dirt and begin to work through our problems - figure out how to get the sun out so that the dirt will dry, and then have the grass grow.

Lela is fighting for survival in an enchanted world as an "heir" candidate in a life or death epic journey to find a wayward prince. This is no fairy tale though. Happy endings are for books with Princesses on them written by human authors wearing rose-colored glasses. They spread lies that she will live happily-ever-after if only she is rescued by a brave, handsome prince. This is not one of those stories. Lela is not the traditional heroine. As a Kenyan refugee without traditional vision, she has strength her sighted counterparts do not. She also has a secret hidden in her blood that even she doesn't know about. She won't find out unless she decides to stay in Fae Land leaving her friends and Earth behind forever. Her choices could literally end everything in existence. Plus, you know... dragons, faeries, love triangles, albino twins, and... you know- Magick. Cover Artwork Created by: iStock.com/Olesyam

Class 5-E, the 5th period engineering class of Fowler High. You'd expect it to be filled with the stereotypical GT (which stands for gifted and talented) nerds or kids who accidentally picked the wrong elective. But actually, this class is filled with many different people with many different stories. And all of them chose to be in this, and none of them want to go out. This is mainly a story about them and how all of them impacted my life, for better and worse. During the school year, we all had developed a special bond that we hope could last for a very long time. It's like one big family, well, one big crazy idiotic family. Class 5-E isn't anything truly special, it's just the people in it who make it that way. And me? I'm Cassandra Joyce, just a random teenage girl who was hoping to have a drama free yearand be away from the spotlight. Unfortunately, some wishes don't come true.

I lifted the oddly familiar stone and held it gently. It was ovular, the unnatural color of dark gray. Tahlia peeked around my shoulder and asked, "What is that?" The stone suddenly changed to the pigment of my hand. Realization washed over me in a wave of horror. "It is a Dragon Egg." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fyre Dragona is heir to the throne of Laerdras, the only human kingdom in Arthendele. All across the nation people envy her power, or they loathe her for it. She would, after all, be the first woman to ever rule with total authority. And she hopes that her perspective could change the tide of a brutal war against the Elves; a people fabled to be fair and beautiful, but battle with hatred seared into their eyes. Along with their fury, the Elves have a mysterious ally who dwell in the cold mountains of the northeast: the Dragons. In what feels like the worst of the conflict, Grand General Haroshimi of Laerdras' army returns to the palace to strategize, along with his maddening son, Augustus. The next few weeks change Fyre's life; she finds hidden secrets within her home, along with being destined to marry the general's son, and being forced to hand her authority to him. When she sees her bright future crashing down ahead of her, she flees the palace with her maid and only friend Tahlia, looking to lead a simple life. But living a simple life as a woman is harder than she thought. Not to mention picking up a Dragon Egg. ***Cover art was made by Anne Stokes.***
