    Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

    She looks fine on the outside. But inside, she's carrying a quiet storm. Living with a chronic illness no one can see, Amina learns to navigate a life full of missed moments, aching silence, and the weight of being misunderstood. But even as her body slows her down, something deeper begins to grow-resilience, reflection, and a strength the world often overlooks. This is not just a story about pain. It's about what pain couldn't take-hope, identity, and the courage to keep going. Told through stillness, strength, and soft moments of prayer, What the Pain Couldn't Take is a story of healing for anyone who's ever felt broken, tired, or left behind.

    17 million people around the world suffer from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME and it is incurable and untreatable. The disease is called ME but Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS is the name the CDC gave it. Doctors for the most part think that it is all in our heads; well it's not. ME is a neuro-immune disease that affects every aspect of your life. Diagnosed originally in September of 2012, this author was bedridden from October 2013 through August 1, 2015. this author couldn't go past her own back yard and that's on an extremely good day, her life came to a stand still and she couldn't move forward. In June of 2013, she graduated with her MBA and was supposed to start her Ph.D in early 2014 but that was not to be. In this batch of poems, this author hopes to show others that they aren't alone in this. She hopes that people will come together to raise awareness for this miserable illness. Her personal story of her life with ME can be found in the first chapter of this book in video form. The cover is of the Survivor Tree at the 9/11 memorial that this author took in 2011. To understand what ME really is please watch this 7 minute video and you'll see what life was like for me 24/7 365. https://youtu.be/qBriPTFOtmY So please take a stroll with her now, through her journey through ME......... ***All of the poetry here is original and written by me.

    My name is Cole. I'm an addict, or at least I was one labeled as one. I am now grateful to say I am a recovering addict. I have a rare brain disease called Chiari Malformation, which is incurable but manageable. After years of pretending to accept my diagnosis, I am proud to say I not only accept it but am grateful for it. Being ill has changed my perspective on life and the importance of it. I wanted to share these things because they may make up a part of me, even though I'm not defined by them. I also will not be only speaking on those topics. I plan on letting it all out from fear, anger, and resentment to acceptance, self love, and allowing anything, hell everything to happen and find the beauty... Even when it looks as if there is none. I made this blog because I want to talk about life on life's terms; acceptance, pain, and rising above when life pushes you. I plan on talking about a variety of issues that I moved past and currently overcame. This blog will be REAL, RAW, AND, UNFILTERED. All I write will be my truth. Cold and hard yet necessary. Welcome to COLESHARDTRUTH.

    "When quiet strength meets patient tenderness, love blooms gently through pain." Nylah Morgan is a bright, loud-laughing, curve-filled hurricane of a woman who carries chronic pain like a shadow. On campus, she's unstoppable. At home, she's unraveling. Malik Thompson has noticed her for years; the limp she tries to hide, the way she massages her wrist after writing too long, how she always gets off the bus two stops before him. He never approaches. Never imposes. Until the day her pain betrays her on the bus stairs. Their worlds brush. Then collide. Then intertwine, through whispered conversations, long bus rides, shared silence, and the slow unraveling of defenses. This is a love story about vulnerability, resilience, invisibility, and the terrifying beauty of being seen. A slow burn that aches before it heals. A romance that moves like a soft tide. A girl learning she's worthy. A boy learning how to love out loud.
