Everything in Cam's life is finally going right. Despite many of her best friend being out of town for the summer, she is ready to have some fun. With her good friend Josh by her side, Cam is just starting to really enjoy the time off school, when Nick comes wandering back into her life. It's been a year since Cam last saw Nick, but the wound is still fresh. The heartbreak Nick caused so long ago left Cam in pieces. Now that he is back, she is quickly falling apart one again. And the fact that he brought his new girlfriend Gina along for his vacation is only making it worse. Not wanting to see the shell of a person Cam once was thanks to Nick, Josh comes up with an idea: he will play the role of Cam's boyfriend to make Nick jealous. Although the plan seems impossible, Cam quickly realizes it's working. Or at least it seems like it's working from the outside. But to everyone on the inside things get messy fast. With feelings, emotions, and kissing flying all around, will Cam ever stop the pretending and land the true love she's been looking for?

Available on Kindle and Paperback now! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07D1CZKSY After nineteen years as a prisoner to the Stonerow curse, fate owes Lady Maud a cursebreaker... and delivers a Knight on a covert mission to win his Prince's war, Sir Favior Elwyk. Surely it shouldn't be so difficult to accept happily ever after? This Wattpad edition is a sample of the first 10%. My interepretation of the loathly lady fairytale, a feminine counterpart to beauty and the beast! A warning: this retelling contains some dark themes ~~An Excerpt From Chapter 12~~ I could tell he meant to say something, so I held onto my cooling supper and waited patiently for it. Finally, after a long while, he found the words; 'I knew I would marry eventually. And, most probably, for the sake of alliance to our cause.' He stopped contemplating the fold of cloth in his hand and looked directly at me; 'My lady, I have not been properly gracious. Your hand is an honour to hold.' I had not expected an apology or anything but grudging acceptance up to our marriage and beyond it. I actually blushed. 'Thank you, sir.' He nodded. He was still stiff and his retreat to proper formality was far too late after all I had already seen of him. I never cared what man might free me from my curse but I knew that I should be so glad it was Favior. I liked him already. We could do well together - if he would only allow it. I searched for the words to express that; 'Favior, I should tell you, about the curse-' 'Maud,' he interrupted. 'Please, I do not wish to talk of the curse anymore.' His tone was low and fierce, a shock. 'Can we not put it behind us?' he asked.

Theodicy is a philosophy which examines God's apparent silence during times of human need. I wrote this piece as if God had returned to Earth and no one even noticed. The first time he said anything, I was slightly amused and wrote it all down on a gum wrapper. (Wrapper's gone now.)

Somewhere in the white hot core of the Dancer's spirit lie the remnants of too much vision, lies the residue of a thousand broken treaties: lies the child who bartered with discount Angels. She will no longer mistake the gardeners for her Messiahs.

'Spiritual Reflections' Over the past years, ever since I started interacting on social media by sharing my faith, writing short reflections about life has been uplifting to me and to the readers. By time, since 2012, I have embarked on writing monthly reflections and posting them in various social media platforms. These reflections which reflect my Christian faith have been read by numerous persons, persons who at times have also expressed their gratitude towards my thoughts. This Christian book, 'Spiritual Reflections', gathers these monthly reflections written over the past two years. These reflections were based on my personal experience of life, on experiences of my friends and relatives; they are about different social issues, but above all these reflections were written in a way to increase the faith of those people following Christ or seeking Him in their life. The intention of these thoughts is for the reader to stop and meditate upon the reflection he picks, and to seek God through personal prayer.
