If you enjoy crime family stories or historical fiction, check this novel out! It made the Wattys Shortlist in 2024!

Well, I never thought this would happen...
"Carpe Noctem," the first novel I posted on Wattpad, has reached 100,000 reads! Amazing! Thank you to everyone who read it and voted for the chapters! ❤️❤️❤️

@MarCafeWrites Congrats! It appears the same way for me. My first novel is around 4.2K reads, but I'm modest ... LOL! I hardly had any readers the first time around ... I wrote it about 6 and a half years ago. Congrats too on being a Watty Winner! Anyway, Good Luck with writing!
Hey old friend! Hope last year treated you amazing! Thank you for adding my ONC26 to your reading list! I’m so pumped for this years contest! Will you be joining in? ❤️
@Renaissance1111 Sounds like you're doing well! I'm glad! ❤️ Yeah, I submitted right before the deadline! We'll see if I can make this work!
@MarCafeWrites I know same here! I’ve been good, working, watching my family grow. It’s always a wild ride but I love it. And I’m so glad you joined in the games!! Yay! I see your ONC story! Good luck my friend! :)
@Renaissance1111 Hey!! Last year (and so far this year) was crazy busy! How are you doing? My pleasure! I look forward to checking it out! As for me joining...ugh. I really want to. I'm trying. We'll see what happens over the next eight hours.
Maaarrrr!!! Tell me you're writing something for the ONC?? Thank you for adding The Thirteenth Jem to your reading list ✨
@Nyhterides I'll try. I like big casts with lots of moving parts (Vengeful Creations, Bartender's Guide, Miss Otis Regrets, etc...), but it might be nice to just have four or five main characters for a change.
@MarCafeWrites put everything on pause and write! Yes, do a small cast. I was actually thinking that today, how I do enjoy writing with few characters whe
Well, I did it!
"Vengeful Creations" (the novel) is finished, at last!! ✨️✨️
The insane holiday season really slowed me down, but I was able to mark the book "complete" tonight! Yay!
Fun little factoid:
The original novella version (from 2021) was 32,160 words, while the novel version is 68,770 words!! Whoa! Pretty amazing!
Please check it out! Whether you like slice of life, historical fiction, sci-fi, paranormal/horror, fairytales, superheroes, Norse mythology, Shakespeare, video games, or romance, there is literally something for everyone in this book! ❤️

@Nyhterides Oh, do you like the cover? I'm trying it out because I'm still not sure. It's hard to choose a cover for a book that has twelve different stories in it! I appreciate the feedback! ❤️
@MarCafeWrites THE COVER!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 It's amazing! Congratulations on finishing. It's such a fab read. :)
WOW!! "Vengeful Creations" is currently #1 in: Shakespeare Writer's Block Hamlet And #3 in: Clone Virtual Reality Evil Vs. Good Whoooohooooo!!! :) Come join Cristina Castillo on her crazy adventures through the worlds of her imagination! From Asgard to turn-of-the-century London she's "out of the frying pan and into the fire"!!! https://www.wattpad.com/story/399765698
* Runs in wearing sheet * Boo! I'm a ghost! Trigger Treat! * shakes pillow case* Candy?
Just when Cristina Castillo thinks her journey through her fictional worlds couldn't get any weirder, she ends up in...ASGARD?!? And a certain God of Mischief wants a favor...
Check out the latest updates of "Vengeful Creations"!

Huge thank you to Wattpad @Fantasy for featuring my novel "Where the Sakura Bloom" on their Isekai reading list!! I honestly didn't think any profile would ever feature that story! WTSB is a Narnia/Oz-esque story that takes place in a fictional land much like Imperial Japan. I began working on it in April of 2004 and finished it in April of 2025. A twenty-one year project! https://www.wattpad.com/story/374205457
Huge thank you to Wattpad @Ambassadors for adding my novella "A Bartender's Guide to Paying it Forward" to their Diverse Fiction reading list! Bartender's Guide is perhaps my most personal story (the protagonist has autism, like me), and seems to be one of my most beloved stories in the opinion of my repeat readers. Thank you to everyone who has given this unusual story a chance! ❤️ https://www.wattpad.com/story/333699172
