TEGSA

          Let's all enjoy the blurb:
          
          Melissa is the only one who knows her dad didn't kill her mom. She knows a monster did it. She saw it herself when she was nine years old. Or so she thinks.
          
          Now, being twenty three and fresh out of college, she knows there is no such thing as monsters. There weren't any voices to hide from under her blanket, there weren't any shadows chasing her in the halls, those were all fantasies of a kid with too much imagination. Yet, she is still determined to find out what really happened to her parents, and most of all, why.
          
          Because the one thing she does know, is that people have lied to her. All of them. All the time.

          Let's all check out the blurb:
          
          The red thread of fate is an invisible red cord that connects two souls who are destined to find one another - 'soulmates' is what the modern generation calls them. However, they said the red string theory was just an old Chinese myth. 
          
          Kallas' life is falling apart and he has shut everyone out, except for his best friend, Caelyn, who drops everything to be with him. Together, they navigate through the treacherous waters of heartbreak and toe the fine line between friendship and love. 
          
          They said the red thread could tangle, but never break. They said those connected would get together eventually, but the legends forgot one thing. Denial and avoidance can go a long way to prevent the union of the souls.

For whatever reason, an announcement of a fabulous story disappeared. 
          
          There are two writers in my contest, both writing the same story from the perspectives of the two main characters, Annie & Nicky. 
          
          This contestant is: @Nyhterides
          Let's all check out the blurb:
          
          Annie and Nicky. Nicky and Annie. 
          
          They were two peas in a pod until their life came crashing down when their mother killed their father in a murder suicide. 
          
          Lost in a world of gloom and mental anguish, the sisters grew apart. Until Nicky was kidnapped.
          
          Now, rocker Annie must put aside her own demons and find her sister. But wasn't Wonderland and the White Rabbit just a dream?
          
          When Annie receives a note telling her Nicky has been taken by The Red Queen, it's a race against time before Annie loses her sister in a land of make-believe...forever. 
          
          Check out @TheMadPoetGold 's page, they are writing Nicky's story and it's going to be amazing!!!

          Let's all enjoy the blurb:
          
          Parth was excited for his new job. A new place. A new life. 
          
          Little did he realized that the small sleepy town amidst the mighty Himalayas hid a secret. 
          
          A secret that could destroy not just his life but his loved ones' as well.

@TheMadPoetGold offers a different perspective.
          
          Let's all enjoy the blurb:
          
          Annie and Nicky. Nicky and Annie.
          
          As children,  Annie was the knight in shining armour, and Nicky her princess in pink. 
          
          Now adults, Nicky finds herself yearning for the fantastical adventures she often journeyed alongside Annie as children. But these dreams are granted all too soon when Nicky finds herself unexpectedly in another world, one where animals talk, clocks tick, and madness runs as rampant as magic.
          
          In order to fulfill her prophecy, Nicky must maneuver obstacles and court politics to prove herself the true Alice. Because once you fall down the rabbit hole, the only way to go is up.

          Our next contestant is: @philouwrites
          Let's all enjoy the blurb: 
          
          At 21 years old, Johanna of West-Francia, is widowed twice already and once again stuck in the waiting room of her father, the Frankish king. 
          
          Will he marry her off for a 3rd time or will he send  her to the convent of Senlis? Neither option sounds appealing, so the young woman decides to take matters into her own hands. 
          
          She has learned a thing or two from her time in Wessex and more specifically from her late husbands' negotiations with Northmen. West-Francia too is plagued by Viking raiders and in an attempt to prove her worth to her father, she explains to him the advantages of a hostage exchange.
          
          One of the advantages being the opportunity to spy, she doesn't stop there and volunteers to be the first Francian hostage in her father's dealings with the Vikings.
          
          What she didn't count on though was Tyr of Danmark, the Viking leader's infuriatingly attractive son and his lack of decorum when dealing with a Frankish princess. If only he would stop calling her Tove, she might be able to focus on her mission and return to her people a heroine, but Tyr seems to have his Gods and their magical powers at his side, chipping away at her resolve one unexplainable event at a time.
